Slashing pikeman

[Madjosh]

i can't be bothered double checking, but i think that marauders do deal more damage with their weapon prof than zwei does. but as assassine has said, zwei has access to mjolnir/stone maul which are pretty bloody unstopable. however, commando is painfully more expensive to equip properly. since pikeman slashing legendaries seem to be worth close to nothing these days you could easily purchase something like a naval glaive, sun pike, dragon halberd and probably outslash most zweis around today for a fraction of the price. the other edge marauder has over zwei is its access to poking weapons like the sarissa, thunder, d spear, Pike of kings. the later 3 of the 4 being either extremely rare these days or extremely underused. poking polearms have that lovely pierce damage which in the hands of a veteran of the spear, can be more deadly than mjolnirs and durendals put together. however, it is extremely awkward to use and takes skill at using both the speed bonus system and swing type system that is present in NI.

hope that helps.
