People are sleeping on powerstanced lucernes. That L1 with the sweep and then the poke is very difficult to deal with in PVP, especially with the new 1.10 update
It's funny you say that. The Spiked Spear from the Marionette soldiers actually does that exactly. It also deals bleed. I enjoy pairing it with the spiked palisade greatshield for double bleeding.
it's lighter, has lower stat requirements, a superior move set, synergizes with spear talisman, guard piercing, and bonus damage on horseback. AR isn't everything.
