I noticed the Thunder Pike didn't get a buff with it's 48 slash damage. Was this intentional?
Yes this was intentional. The pike as a stabbing weapon. It's massive length means that it is a powerful weapon already. The re-balance of the pikeman weapons was both to increase their capabilities, slightly, and to create a progression. The thunderpike is a massive stabbing weapon capable of doing large amounts of pierce damage at long range. Most of the pikeman gear specializes in either stab or slash and the few weapons that do both suffer a penalty. As it stands at the moment, the Thunder Pike is one of the best piercing weapons in the game. Also as a slashing weapon, it is still very competitive with the other pikeman legendary weapons.
