Thread: *snicker*
Before Pikeperson, I didn't do a lot of combat. My only PvP'ing was as a healer and medic. Musician, Medic, Doctor...And then came The Holocron.
Maybe it's because I don't know what other combat professions are like, but I have been enjoying my pike immensely! I've seen a lot of grumblings about the low accuracy...but as long as I spam specials, I do just fine and only miss about 1/5 of the time. (Of course, I'm also a master doctor and always keep myself enhanced...that probably helps.) I'm 4/2/4/3 currently.
ANYWAY, what with the new decay and the decreased PvP presence, I often find myself the only overt imp in a given area. I've had a couple of amusing PvP encounters I thought I'd share.
The first time, I was overt and fishing at the pond near the Mining Op on Dantooine. Minding my own business, just me and my hip-waders. My concentration was soley focused on reeling in a really big catch when all of a sudden the battle music begins and I find myself on the ground! I look up, and there's a rebel CH (and obviously TK, the trixy wench) standing over me! I dropped my fishing pole, equipped my VibroLance and my armor, and luckily enough, was able to stand almost immediately. My first 2 shots dizzied and knocked HER down, and then I proceeded to beat the stuffing out of her. I varied my attacks just so I could see how much damage each could do in PvP. =) A few seconds later, she was limping out of the clone center. ( I lost the fish, btw.)
That was my first encounter as a real honest to goodness PvP combat person.
The second wasn't nearly so easy, buteven morerewarding. I was in Coronet City, again overt, and waiting patiently for the ship to take me backto Dantooine. 4 minutes to go. No red dots in sight. So far so good. Out of the corner of my eye, I see not one but 2 red blips on the radar! I equipped my lavender Mabari armor in preparation for battle, but was determined that I should not strike the first blow. I even unequipped my pike, just to show the rebels that if they wanted to catch his shuttle, it was fine by me.
No such luck. The first shot whizzed by head, the battle sounds began, and the fight was on! I lunged toward the nearest dot, but he managed to evade me. I was unaware of my surroundings as my focus narrowed, and found myself in pitched battle in the middle of the starport concourse. A sniper was taking shots at me as I was striking another melee. The melee was oddly difficult to damage and it was only then that two things dawned on me...not only was my pike still unequipped, but the rebel melee was a mere grunt! Some pet of the sniper, and not a real rebel at all! Well, I equipped my pike as fast as I could, and the melee was soon dead. I looked up from his corpse to spot the sniper, but it appeared he had departed. Good enough, and I raced back to where the ship to Dantooine had just landed. Except the sounds of battle still roared in my ears!
The Ticket Collector refused my attempts to board the shuttle, and my eyes narrowed in irritation at the possibility of missing my shuttle. I looked around once more for the rebel sniper...there!Shooting at me again from the edge of the bay doors. I realized the shots were no mere bullets...they were explosions! A rocket launcher! That was no sniper...he was a commando! I ran after him, and he fled, shooting at me as he did. I lunged, and missed...lunged, and missed...the race took us out into the streets of Coronet City. I had no time to gauge the reactions of the citizens. Explosions boomed in my ears as the near-misses flared andlit up the scene with blinding light.As he attemted to dodge behind a fountain, I caught up to him and smacked him a few times. He was lucky though, and clear-headed even through my attempts to dizzy him. He got up quickly, and ran once more, firing over his shoulder at me.
Then he made a fatal mistake.
His path led him, not deeper into the city, where there are buildings and cover, but out into the open fields of Corellia! I dodged a few more explosions, carefully noted that he did indeed wear the title of "Commando", and my heart was racing in terror at thenotion of missing the ship home. The thought gave my feet wings, and a fresh burst of adrenaline helped me close the gap between me and my foe. Once upon him, a few quick blows dizzied him and knocked him down. A few more well aimed stabs put an end to him once and for all!
And, still with the energy pumping through my blood, I raced back to the starport, through the halls, and out into the landing field, where the ship was miraculously still waiting. I threw my ticket at the collector and remarked to the other passengers assembling for boarding, "Sorry about the mess."
LOL Awsome! I'd like to start saying that Im a proud rebel and I applaud that Rebel trying to kill any overt/TEF'd Imp on site! LOL She rocks! However Im SO GLAD that it was my fellow pikeperson that beat up those dang (im not gunna say it) people dumb enough tfight with no weapon or a a weapon that looks like a PIZZA CUTTER! Great job ! haha
funny story too hehe read them to me for bedtime

Great. I can see it now-- the notes for patch 18.
Profession: Jedi. Due to popular demand, the scout/ranger trapping line has been renamed Force Trapping and moved into the Powers tree.However, we willfill that gap in scout/ranger at some point. No, really.
