old knight pike should not be listed as a halberd. its a spear.

Once you figure out proper spacing to consistently hit enemies with the head, you have a weapon with insane reach and UGS tier damage. Just carry a short weapon to counter more aggressive enemies, i could never get the manikins to stay in the sweetspot

You would think ds2 would be the one to distinguish between "glaives" and "halberds" but i digress

Does anyone know what the halberd that Manscorpion Tark uses?
I really don't like halberds in this game, sweet spot is a horrible mechanic.
