Cheers for this -- couldn't bring myself to use my glass halberd because of the ludicrousness of it being exclusively a thrusting weapon (despite having no thrusting point, and instead an ax-head with which it can't even chop or slash).
Looking at the stats here, I don't see why you think so. The Dwarven Halberd's slash damage is very slightly decreased, but gains considerably everywhere else. The Glass Bardiche's can no longer deal more overall damage than the Ebony Spear (which actually brings it into consistency with other glass weapons), but it can now also do reasonable chop damage. Of course, if you have 'Always Use Best Attack' on, then none of this matters and yes, some of the halberds are now weaker.
Just pointing out that I think you nerfed the Glass Halberd (Bardiche) a bit too far. I think that making the Chop attach be similar to the current thrust attack in damage, and somewhat decreasing the slash attack would work. Having one super powerful attack is better than two decent attacks as long as you move properly. Otherwise I like it! Will endorse (if this site ever lets me... apparently I haven't downloaded it yet...).
