I also wanna be a Pikeman

I love my Reinforced combat staff... It's pretty cool! Do i need to change to another blunt weapon when i finally become a Novice Pikeman, to do some serious damage???

The better i become in skill tree the better i become overall.. Right? Its not all the weapons???

Darth, I seem to have a completely contradicting strategy for starts, but that is what makes the world a good place, variety. I got to Novice Pikeman by just doing the NPC mobs throughout Mos Eisley, usually with at least 1 person at my side, only doing polearmhit1. If I was soloing because one of my friends weren't availible, then I would add the occasional lunge in. Also, getting Novice Medic helps a lot for lesser downtime when you are fighting. But when fighting with a companion on the NPC mobs, take turns taunting the enemy, so one guy doesn't continue to take the massive amount of damage. That was my strategy, and I flew to Novice Pikeman in a few days (but I also played a lot) so to each his own.

Hmm so I need a smuggler with Slicing 4 to trim down the speed on my staff? Does anyone know of one on Kauri, and what should I expect to pay? Any info would be appreciated.

Too bad terrain doesnt block lasers at all, you can shoot right through a god **edit** mountain.

Another reason to go with carbine is suppression fire. If mobs are melee they are dead until you arrive and put your polearm in their back for sick dmg. If they are ranged then you can keep them down, do dmg while you run up to them and stick your polearm in their back.

Im a new medic and all I have is Stims A and B..what are some tips on how to gain XP, set up the hotkeys, etc.

Heal Dancers/Musicians in Cantina, after you get tired of that scenary make way over to your local med center, heal wounds till you get tired of that, by this time you should be able to competently heal a group of people, which is second best xp you'll find, next to unhealed pets =p

Thanks! I like being a noob.

on the hotkey setup:

this realy is an issue of personal preferrences. however, once you set up a hotkey bar, keep the positions for '/healdamage' and '/healdamage self' whenever you change them. if you play as a medic a bit, you will so get used to the positions of them than changing them will result in pushing the wrong button at the wrong time.

and trust me, you will love the '/healdamage self' button.

i keep those 2 on the top row to have easy access through the keyboard without breaking my fingers pushing shift + F(x) at the same time and first aid is on the second row, it's not used that often so that when you need it, you can as well use the mouse and keep the top row for important stuff

my top row looks about like this:

• F1: stand


• F2: tumble to standing (don't ask)


• F3: berserk (macro including weapon switch)


• F4: intimidate


• F5: 1H Lunge (macro incl. weapon switch)


• F6: 1H Dizzy


• F7: 1H Body Hit


• F8: /healdamage self


• F9: /healdamage


• F10: Equilibrium


• F11: Follow


• F12: Ranged Stim

Combat Medic is kinda confusing. Oh well. Thanks.

Get a CH friend with some 9K + HAM pets, then follow him like a puppy and heal his pet. With the pet regen nerfs pets need medics (vets) badly. Plus with thier huge HAM bars you always heal for full and can rack up a few thousand medical XP per full heal.
