Sarissa does not deal enough damage in view of its extremely high price, especially in comparison to other pikes, e.g.:
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.
