Thread: Old School Pikeman BH is now lost
If the Jedi is prepared to fight then you have a good chance if you're food buffed + spice.
However - no root / no kd dizzy = Jedi running away lots.
I tend to have to hunt in groups with a carb BH to stop them from running.
Sad eh!

I guess dealing overwhelming damage is out of the question now that DoT's are gone eh? It's come down to who can heal themselves the longest without dieing first now? That's unfortunate...

advanced sweep attack, we still got an area KD/Dizzy
If u need to do major damage then u should either go with Rifles or Swords, they are the damage dealers. In my experience as a master pikeman, the brawler move- Lunge- knocksdown your target more often than leg sweep or let hit does. And the dizzy/knockdown combo of last year's swg no longer works anymore.

I didn't think Adv Sweep added a dizzy to the KD. I use it to KD all the time, but have yet to see a dizzy come from it. Plus with KD recov, dizzy/KD doesn't really work anymore, does it?
Its hardly unfortunate that the game no longer revolves around who has the most expensive dot Annius.
You may find that the game actually takes some degree of skill to succeed in now as opposed to just macroing a dizzy/kd combo and spamming hit 2 (3 was hardly sensible since it got people up from kd with its pesky fu cking lunge ability which they never fixed) with a fire dot equipped.

I didn't have the most expensive dot. I never used a DoT that attacked the mind because pikeman didn't have a mind specific hit
. My pikes were health poison and health fire or if I was feeling frisky i would use a action fire/poison and leg hit...that always threw people for a loop.
Since when was Pikeman/BH old school? That was a relatively recent DoT-laden development.
Yes I'm being totally unconstructive in this thread, but I've been gone for a couple weeks only to discover I can't log in. Frustrating.
