When comparing the 1hand blunt + shield to the Polearm for the ToS, the tradeoff does not seem equal in the terms of stat distribution.

If you choose the Polearm, what are you gaining? Seems to me to be just a loss. You gain a little crit, but lose Con, armor, protection, etc etc.

I think the Polearm needs adjustment, as of right now there is no choice. It should have high con, or higher damage, or something to make it an actual option.
