Master Peltlast or Halabardier?

[keru_90]

Go for peltast if you like throwing mainly, while halberdier has more survivability due to a choice of tougher armors. To make use of the halberdier class, as pointed out by others, you have to buy a class armor, that comes at an expense, otherwise the only noticeable change is the plus inronflesh. With MP the increase in damage and accuracy due to the extra power throw is immediately effectiuve, and you don't necessarily need a new weapon (you can also just pick up better throwables if someone has in the server)

But why are you not considering going marauder? Imho it's the the best pike class, a marauder can throw as effectively as an halberdier or t4 pike, but also slash as effectively as a zwei (although with different weapon types) and still being useful in ranged waves. As a side note, slashing pikes are really cost-effective compared to slashing swords, you can basically pick up a sunpike for 6M and do the same damage as a zwei with a 20m legacy
