Most of the higher tier spearheads now have slash damage. I'd like to point out that slash attacks with a spear whose primary function is to pierce is usually the result of specific circumstances and has always been secondary damage at best i.e. draw slashes.
And it's difficult enough to aim a pierce attack without it getting turning into a slash attack which you didn't want..and have you EVER tried to "slash" with a spear on horseback? It just looks ridiculous and from a physics standpoint completely unhistorical. Not to mention that the slash attacks with the spear have 1. Much slower swing speeds 2. Significantly inferior damage to piercing for the vast majority of those spearheads.
Besides if you wanna swing around your spear to slash in a tight formation either on foot or on horse...I'm sure the other men in the formation are going to laugh at you or tell you to get the hell out of the formation.
Players should be able to toggle "slash swing" attacks on or off if using a spear and lock out slash swings if on horseback.
