All fellow Brawlers heading, or already in the Pikeman stage, I have some questions. I am almost a master polesman, and about to become a Pikeman. I was wondering what would be the next best step as to which skills to work on as a pikeman. And also, Are there any better weapons out there beside a reinforced umm stick...(i forgot the name of that weapon, its way to early for me right now.) I'm Looking for a Long Vibro Axe or even a Lance. If anyone knows where i could purchace one, info would be appreciated.

I've also been reading alot of post of how people think that Pikemen are the worst route to go, and im glad to see alot of people are saying it's not. The Polearm ability has its up's and downs, but what class doesnt. So don't nay-say the polearm peeps if you don't know how to use them correctly and find yourself getting owned every which way. Polearm's have some good abilites if yah just know how to use em.

Yah i just realized that most of yall arent even on the same server i play on. So disregard the idea of me asking where to find better weapons.

I enjoy the polearm. I'm about 2/3 up to master specialist and I'm currently using a long vibro axe. I hate it and love it. Sometimes I can't hit worth a crap (-53 to hit) but I hit for tons of damage. Most white cons are dead in 1 or 2 hits unless I get intimidated.

Ask around with weapon smiths is my only advice to get a better weapon. I'm lucky on Naritus there are sever master smiths.

Whatever people say about pikeman being the worst, I still enjoy it. Vibro lances and long vibro axes seem to be more inaccurate than most weapons but still worth it (at least to me). I'ld go with intermediate defensive techniques first so you get polearm sweep. With that move (and a couple of stims) I can solo a storm trooper without dying!
