Ive tired alot with Hit 3 cause it does alot more dmg than lunge but i dont get the posture downin very often.
Is that a common issue with pikeman to use lunge over hit3 for posture down or were im unlucky?

I can't back it with any serious testing or reason as to why, but when I'm going for a posture down (which is often), I almost always use Lunge1 for some reason. /shrug

Why do you want a posture down? We have a freakin area knockdown!

I use lunge 1 because it has like a 15m range and so you can slow down kiters or FR2 or FR3 jedi enough to get them down.
And use lunge on stackers. Most people stack high defenses on KD but not as much on defense vs. posture down. If you get them dizzied and than kneeling they will fall down the next time they try to move.

Actually Posture Down works good if you have already used KD. I use every KD/posture down I can to get people on there backs.

My new favorite thing. Been pike for near a year and can't believe I don't do it all the time.

/hit 3 unless they are running then use/lunge1 instead.
If you sweep themyou can't /hit3 because it pops them back up. If you posture change then they try to stand they will most likely fall and that gives you up to 30secs to whail on them with hit3 which is our most powerful attack.

nope, but knockdowns do.
I wailed hit 3 on maulers. They didn't get up from kneeling but 2 kds and they pop up and smack me back.

the kd/posture change thing is a litle buggy but there is a 30second timer, so after you posture down the target you should get the failed to posture change message for the next 30seconds. If you KD the target, THEN posture down him, it will pop him back up.
