Buff Sarissa

Long Awlpike          Awlpike          Ashwood Pike          Sarissa         
40p42p37p40pDamage
89929493Speed
185165170292Reach
300026002000~2.250.000Price (in gold)

The only advantage is it's slightly longer range, which however is not useful enough to counterbalance the rather mediocre damage.
45p damage or even more would be quite justified, to make it somewhat better than it's cheap alternatives, and reduce the amount of thrusts that simply bounce off the bots armor.

Although I agree the Sarissa has low damage for it's cost, this is basically how high-end items in NI work. Take a look at the Commando's body armors:

Marketplace armor60 body30.000
Swadian Heavy Lamellar66 body    400.000
Striped Armor68 body475.000
Transitional Armor70 body3.000.000
Halfplate/Heraldic Trans72 body7.000.000 (not sure)
Defender Breastplate76 bodyMind fking blowingly much

Prices don't really compare to the increase in stats you get; high-end weapons and armor are more of a status symbol than a real upgrade to their predecessors.
So I think the Sarissa is fine as it is, and it can be a real beast of a weapon in the right hands.
I was never here, you saw nothing...

Motivational tip: When you wake up in the morning, look in the mirror and say confidently, "That's a nice head you have on your shoulders."
