Pikemen the best slashers?

After playing the game a lot more...I have to say that a mix of both is best. With pikemen in back,however if I had to choose only 1 type of slasher it would be the commando (better defense from accidental hits or arrows, also the Many blunt weapons do more damage in hard mode than the primarily cut pike weapons, yes I know the pok does blunt)

With the new Sarissa (and the normal Pike) disciplined Pikemen with some hit control can also overhead-stab over the SW/slasher combo.

This, I wish all long pikeman weapons had the overhead stab (love that thing).

In the best possible gear, commandos are easily the best slashers, VGS/AGS + tanky armour + 8ps.

But once the overhead stab becomes more widespread, pikeman will have their own slashing positions .
