My opinion is if you are not pikeman don't do it, if you are hang on for a bit. Pikeman got totaly screwed by taking away our defense, i mean KD was an entire tree of xp, a defense tree. we do no have the toughness mods to handle straight head on combat with mobs now. I myself must rely on my mauler to tank for me and I don't really like that I must but I do what I have to do untill they revert, yes, I expect a revert. It's bad enough we have to lead moving targets just to hit them and now lunge moves are worthless. I wonder everyday why I don't drop master brawler and put it in CHander. Simply being I don't want to rely on pets, heh.

also our damage from our moves is being dropped every patch it seems and intimidate2 was borked today as well as in it doesn't cut incoming damage by as much as it used to. why am i master brawler with broken intimdate2, warcry2, berserk2 which never worked for a month anyhow.

Post patch, definatley not im near master 4-3-4-3 and the pikeman class is totally useless now. If they fix it then yes the pikeman is fun to play but as is dont waste your time as i have.

Drow, Pikeman used to be a cool proff. I'd stay far away from it now if I were you. Apparently SOE forgot about the Pikemen as evidence of Thursdays patch.

Awe comeon, don't be that way, even though the attacjs favored by most are undergoing "changes" doesn't mean that the won't change them back, or to something better (though I can not picture what that could be).


I love this proffesion, and intend to stick with it through thick and thin.

Since you're a Master CH/Medic, the road through pikeman will be quick and easy for you. However, the combination of those two professions has trivialized Pikeman and melee completely, so really, you'd be wasting your time.


I can't honestly advise anyone to take up melee right now with the Devs current attitude towards it.

Drow...are your freaking crazy!!! Run from this profession and never look back. If you read any of these other posts on this forum, you will see people are dropping their skills left and right. Sony has absolutley no love for us. So to summarize:


I am a Pikeman. I suck at this game. Sony is just going to nerf us again. This all equals a profession that is no fun to play.

Your estimated time is way off.


It took me over a month of hardcore (14+ hours a day) and 30 million creds to master my 13 professions needed (I was lucky) to get my final 5th.


It's going to take you 10x that to even get to Padawan when you do open FS.


5x to Knight after that.


At Knight, you might have the skills to wave your saber around without getting killed by other players. You might even have the time to spend 40-50x that to complete Jedi - at which point you'll probably be so bored of hiding and waving your saber at gnorts it'll be the last thing you ever want to do.


So the answer is.....No.
