2-And what exactly do these personal attacks have to do with anything?

3-As for slashing spears... I've been on Tabletop forums and heard about a few IRL very niche cases... 1-And my point from the beginning was that since it lacks the long-pointy end, it's not a Halberd. If that was your point, then it's absurdly irrelevant, it changes absolutely nothing.

And you're still comparing Spears and Guns when they are completely different in every single way. Seriously, stop it, it's just foolish at this point and won't make you look any smarter, only the contrary. You cannot perform a Pike Square with guns. You cannot perform Phalanx with guns. Because those are done with Spears, Pikes, and similar weapons. Weapons completely different in usage and effect than guns and any other ranged weaponry.

Seriously, your only argument is "more reach", which changes absolutely nothing about the original point, and it's a faulty argument because you're comparing a ranged weapon with a melee weapon. By the same logic, you could say Bows are an esential upgrade to Spears, "because bigger range".

2-They're not attacks, it is a question. Because every 9+/10 time you make an argument, it's hard to understand what you're trying to say exactly, and after we respond, generally it seems like we "misunderstood" what you were saying, and turns out your point was something completely different than what your post implied.

You've been doing this for months if not years. And it hasn't been only me who failed to get your point, others have as well. An example being back when you were discussing with Spirit regarding the "Beacon Tower Defense" game.

So I'm asking if you really have something that causes you to be hardly coherent, that causes you to have trouble expressing what you want to say. You say you don't, but the "not mentally deficient" part only tells me it might not be something as severe as FTD.

You use "I'm tired generally" as an excuse, but I've seen other people with little rest, sometimes people who spent a day without sleeping, still managing to say something in a way that their point is understood. Hence why I'm asking.

Now, regardless of whether the lack of coherence and failure in semantics is really just due to you being AFK for a long time and/or being distracted midthought or due to some condition, don't post just like that. Be like Chish, who actually has Attention Deficit Disorder IIRC, and instead of posting her thoughts in one go, she thinks about how to express her words so that it gets across.

3-Any sources to such "slashing spears" then? It could've been someone who forgot the actual name for a polearm made to slash.

@Jaden: Merc using Steam Dust Projectiles is just an hypothesis however. A rather small one considering it's more likely that they're Wind Dust Projectiles. Remember Wind Dust became white-colored in V3, for starters.
