Buff Phalanxier

[The_Witch_Pikmin]

We all know phalanxier needs a buff. It barely does any damage and gets killed by an archer in two hits. This class is simply shieldman with less damage, less armour, but has reach. However, reach doesn't give knockback, it can space you from the enemy but all that is worthless if you can't kill the dude. This class can only use reach if it has shield in its primary hand and pike in offhand, the shield has no buffs.

Poll options:
1. Give more armour or resistance.
2. Buff the arrow damage (for its pike).
3. Allow shield in offhand with pike in primary hand so it can get knockback.
4. Give it strength boost like Morgul Uruk (only really works with the pike in main hand).
5. Lave the class as it is.

I personally think the class isn't that weak, but it could use a small buff.

Any ideas from anyone to change the class? Or any reasons to not change it at all.

The reason the pike is in the offhand is that it looks very stupid to have the player swing around the pike constantly. I'll make it so it's no longer useful as melee weapon, and will most likely add knockback to the shield.

I honestly think this class is fine damage/armor wise, we see a lot of them on the maps, and their main purpose is to hold narrow paths (like on the stairs, or the bridge), which they do well. They're not meant for fighting on the mountains or big open spaces, and just like bonebreaker shouldn't be OP there.
