Which do you think will serve a paladin better, a Pike or a Halberd? as a main weapon, probably not, but I would like to become good at jousting.

Thanks

thanks

As per tests done by JMF90 halberd is a much better weapon for combat. As it relates to how you joust, that I don't know. But since you'll be training it via combat, figured I'd say this again.

With a balance positive combo that is almost entirely focused upon inflicting puncture based damage, and the ability to forge a pike with severe puncture, the pike skill has potentials for offensive attacks that will more easily triumph over an opponents defense then halberd.

Both pike weapons and halberd weapons seem to fall into the same range of balance ratings, meaning it takes roughly the same skill range to start making effective attacks.

Halberd seems better suited overall for combat senarios where you will need to defend yourself. (creatures that don't stun for example)

most important is what your last manouver was when it comes to defense though, and halberd combos are less exposing.

I like both, Pike for charging from pole range, halberd for fighting groups.

In fairness, I had relatively low strength at the time and no access to forged pikes. However, I do think halberd is a better choice overall.
