If you use this weapon as a Commando, you will swing slower than someone using an AGS, and deal less damage per hit than someone using an Eastern Katana-

With Sun Pike:
As 0/4/0/2- Average of 98.60 per hit, with no speed bonuses. (2 Hander of the same speed swings at least 2.6% faster)
As 0/4/1/1- Average of 99.82 per hit, with no speed bonuses. (2 Hander of the same speed swings at least 4.875% faster)

With Eastern Katana:
As 0/4/0/2- Average of 99.2 per hit, with no speed bonuses.
As 0/4/1/1- Average of 104 per hit, with no speed bonuses.


In addition, there are immense weapon length penalties associated with the polearm animation compared with two handers.

Quote:(Let 1h Overhead serve as a guideline of +0 reach)

2h Overhead = +15 (The figure for the overhead is probably inaccurate due to the new animation)
Left-to-right = +17
Right-to-left = +13
Thrust = +80

2h Polearms
Overhead = -15
Left-to-right = -7
Right-to-left = -2
Thrust = +19
