You want to know the armor difference between Trans and Gothic?  its 10.  The same armor difference that you are saying does not matter here. 

And the one mil crafted halberdier armor has more armor than the 25 mil+ legendary pikeman armor, that hasn't dropped in like a year. 

And it gets more Ironflesh than RG does.

I don't think its needs a buff,  I think its just fine where it is.  Its for some people but not everyone.

Don't get me wrong, but what is the aim for that class exactly ? Is it survivability ? People wouldn't go for the Pikeman class in the first place. Also, I am kinda unaware of most the items as we don't see them, they're not listed or anything (beside some craftables with the pictures EG: House crafting topic). I am just trying to suggest to improve the class or give it something that can feel benefical for it, I would have picked up halb if they had more usable shields to be honest (or maybe there are some that I am unaware about..?), and more 1 h usable also for them. It ends up being tanky for almost nothing, and correct me if I am wrong, but carryinga marketplace shield to tank is a little.. erm you know lol. Unless yeah there are some shields usable for halbs :o.

I am grinding another skirmisher as I loved to level it up to be honest, I hesitated a lot between the 3 for the first time I had to pick a hero, everyone told me to go mp or marauder, which are great heroes, and I am a marauder. But this one, to be honest, I am hesitating to go for halb instead of mp and I want to know more about it. I think i've seen only 2 during all my game time that were halb :o.

Straight from click's old analysis under strategy and tips

"Halberdier
The Halberdier hero class gains the generic 50 One handed, 40 Two handed, and a slightly increased 30 Polearm (as compared to 25) WPF.  This class also gets a typical 2 Power strike increase.  This class's strong point is the Ironflesh and Shield gain, 3 and 3.  It should be noted that though this class gains no Athletics, it is already at 8 which is faster than most other hero classes already.  Disappointingly, this class gains no Power throw or Throwing WPF.

Master Peltast
This class, as the name suggests, has a focus on throwing.  A beautiful 25 Throwing WPF (~3% damage and 1 speed more) and 1 Power throw (10% more throwing damage) definitely create this effect.  The generic 50 One handed, 40 Two handed, and 25 Polearm increases are there.  A decent and default Power strike increase of 2 and Ironflesh increase of 1 accompany this class.  A fun 2 Athletics points make this tied for the fastest class in the game at a grand total of 10 Athletics.  This class does get a Shield skill increase of 2, putting it at 6 Shield skill and allowing it to be the backup shielder in dire situations.

Marauder
The glass cannon of Pikeman hero classes, this class has an amazing 65 Polearm WPF increase (~5% more damage and 1-2 more speed) and 3 additional Power strike (24% more damage), making it a very powerful slasher.  Other than the generic WPF increases and 2 Athletics, this class has no other stat increases.

Over All
The Halberdier is a decent slasher with an emphasis on survivability.  It has a good Shield increase allowing it to shield when required.  The Master Peltast emphasizes throwing, but can clearly slash as well.  A small Shield skill increase allows it to shield in dire situations.  The Marauder is a glass cannon of a slasher, focusing only on damage output and speed."
