Buff Sarissa

[-Perception-]

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

Long Awlpike	Awlpike	Ashwood Pike	Sarissa
40p	42p	37p	40p	Damage
89	92	94	93	Speed
185	165	170	292	Reach
3000	2600	2000	~2.250.000	Price (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.

Uh... this weapon is already a beast.  Also, a greater than 50% increase in reach is not "slightly longer"

I see it like this: It needs some more damage or the price needs to be lower (Take out some expensive mats needed to make it)

[Yabu]

Not agreeing. The only reason it's so expensive at them moment is because the WoG's are skyhigh.

And even more so the water

If this weapon received a buff, it would be better than the Thunder Pike in the next patch. That isn't what craftables are supposed to be.

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 armor	60 body	30.000
Swadian Heavy Lamellar	66 body	400.000
Striped Armor	68 body	475.000
Transitional Armor	70 body	3.000.000
Halfplate/Heraldic Trans	72 body	7.000.000 (not sure)
Defender Breastplate	76 body	Mind 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.

Sarrissa is hands down the best weapon i have used as it strikes so hard and so fast at untouchable distances.

buffing this makes no sense whatsoever , the pierce  damage is a bonus ontop of the already impressive stat set.
i believe it is worth every penny it costs to craft at this time and given a choice i would take a sarissa over a thunder lance any day.

(i dont want to rate it to highly as i'd hate to see it get debuffed )

[Barristan]

We are happy with the stats as they are. The Sarissa is a powerful weapon and the reach, if anything, makes it op. It does fit the progression relatively well but given that there are so many pikeman weapons, it is difficult to make it all perfect.
