Can someone forward this to the devs. This is a fountain of tips and ideas AND suggestions on what pikeman should be.

Well done Antares.

Very cool info Antares. I've done a bunch of searching for pikes as well but you found alot more than I did. I actually use a 6' bamboo bo staff when I go backpacking. It makes a great walking stick but also can be used for.... well any intruders into the camp. Haven't had to use it as of yet but came close once with a wandering gentleman.

Don't laugh but I've actually tried some of the pike in game moves. Polearm hit 2 is fun to do but you could see how it would not do much in real life. It leaves you to vulnerable when you turn to elbow them. LOL. They actually need to put the double bladed lightsaber moves as polearm moves. If you ever watch them they are just so smooth and flowing. The funniest move we have is Polearm hit 3. I always laugh at the little hop at the end.

Anyway nice post Antares.
