Spears *should be* swift, naturally. IMO they might have less damage, but greater range AND greater hitspeed than even a sword. It was the most versatile, and most used weapon on the battlefield, since to wield one didn't require much training to use effectively against even well-trained infantry. So. Summarized in this. With the sword as the baseline weapon, the spear should be slightly longer, but only just (spear-shafts were held by the center, not by the end), and should be considerably quicker in attack speed, but will slow the player down very slightly. Pikes should get increased swiftness, since its not a very heavy weapon, only a bit akward to hold. But for both, the pole-arm weapons, damage should be decreased.
