I haven't been asked to do one of these in a long while and think it might be a good tie to get a new one going. But, before I write mine, I'd like to ask everyone thier opinions first.

Please don't focus on bugs, as they are already listed in our issues list. Instead try to focus on highs/lows of the profession, what's fun, what's unfun, your opinion of the profession as a whole, etc.

Thanks

Lows: The weird post-CU post-respec destruction of the basic Lunge 15m KD ability. What was that?

And lack of a root recovery is death for us ofttimes.

Highs: Um. Carrying a Pike? The animations that still work? I do think our defenses seem pretty decent.

Defense good, Weapons good (I like needing to loot an uber weapon). They need to give us something to replace our lost dots. Maybe some more Polearm Speed in the actual profession instead of just the general speed. And also they need to give us cool animations...

lows: animations, we do miss a lot
highs: more weapons, NSEL electricity stays on all the time, something more of a role

Lows: low accuracy makes us miss alot, not great in group combat i.e no area debuffs(5m area warcry PLEASE!)

Highs: GREATsingle targetdebuffers, decent CC(area kdftw), nice defense, a well rounded prof.

of all the prof pikes is very balanced, no oneever says nerf pikes, and no1 ever says pikeman sucks!

dont change us at all really, well make warcy a 5m special and make our stun attack usefull, but that is "bugs" so i wont insist on those

gunman ur doing a great job i love my class, it would be nice for melee guys to be able to catch the ranged boys though, maybe make their ranged weapon movement hindrence a lil higher ( u can be rooted/snared by a carbineer/pistoleer, continously how about diminshing returns)and make it NOT a nessisty to have doc 400 to be vialbe, oh and NERF BLEIL lol, and yes im WAY off topic but where else is am i gunna whine?

Area Warcry or intim afterall we meant to be crowd control, fic the bladestick quest so pikeys can actually get it instead of a rykk blade.

Lows:

1. The currently made NSEL's blow

2. We got screwed on animations

3.RIS should come easier (opinion) but bleh.. most of you are tk 0/1/0/0 or whatever

4. Root destroys every melee in pvp without sometype of counter instead of heal.

Highs:

1. Pikeman is really fun to play

2. We have a fine selection of weapons to choose from

3. Running with my NSEL makes me all the cooler.. lol

Disclaimer! My opinions focused here may not be true or relavant to this post so therefore if you dont like my post... then.... STHU!..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Now that DOT's are gone the real Pikemen step forward. We have irraticated the novice stances line DOT whores and have stepped into future. But now we have a new threat.. Swordsmen using us for defense! Will it ever be over!?!?

we have low accuracy.

isn't pikeman supposed to be crowd control? we need a dizzy and a blind attack. if not an area, then at least a cone warcry and intim.

it would be nice if we could do a snare with our leghit

maybe even throwa root in there somehow? getting impaled would make ya stay in one place fora short while

i love being a pikeman with my alt. putting on debuffs. taking a pretty good beating. i just want to be able to be more of a crowd control

Impale and leg hit animation shouldbe reversed, I mean leg hit you jab them with your pike, and impale you take a lowish swing at them, whats up with that?

And area debuffs would be teh roxor =) (plus fix the dang NSEL lmao)

I'd like to see our state attacks get more dramatic than they are.

And Kivrin is DEFINITELY right. I wish there were times when my Vibrolance was the best choice, and times when my Cryolance was the best choice. As of right now, in that example, the Vibrolance = useful, the Cryolance = useless for a full template pikeman. 90% of our weapons are for grinding purposes only, which is lame.
