Or is it just me? I've recently mastered Pikeman, took me a couple months since I dont grind... just when I feel like fighting I go out. So, that being said... since I haven't grinded it, I've noticed that when I did master pike, there was no difference that I could see from gaining master? I mean.... I dont do more damage and I've seen with other combat professions that it's a big difference when mastered. I didn't notice any. So... is it just me or is there a problem with it??

SEA's can be quite expensive, but your goal should be to have an extra +20 polearm speed, and +25 polearm accuracy. There are other mods like polearm evasion, and damage but those dont work. You can usually find these for sale on your galaxies trade forum, or get lucky on a loot. NS are always a good place to start for loot, as they drop alot of good polearms as well as various mods.

So often the "solutions" given here are to cap speed or get a 1k+ damage lance or some other loot item.
That alone should tell you that yes, there's very obviously a problem with pikeman.

I half agree with you. There are certainly some other professions where that's true. Carbineers and pistoleers without stacked BH skills are in rough shape, commandos are sort of screwed in general.
On the other hand TKAs and fencers have little to no use for SEAs, swordsmen and riflemen can benefit from them but they're far from necessary. They can all do just fine with crafted weapons and base skills, though of course loot is still desirable. In most cases loot serves to enhance and strengthen a class, but for us it's used to bring us up to par with everyone else. That dependence is the byproduct of problems with the class, but itself causes additional problems.
Combat revamp, where art thou?
