Dude I’m not sure what you’re smoking but Hoplites cannot wield Sword + Spear together. They either use 1H Spear + dagger or 1H Sword + dagger (in which case you’d lose out on Finestra buff plus heaps of skills that require spears to use).
And where can you get Slash damage from Hoplite?
Btw Fencer’s Flanconnade does Slash damage, PLUS it has 0 cooldown:
(translate it with google translate)
Yes and the cooldown is 8 seconds, much better than Spear Lunge’s 24 second cooldown…
