Pikeman Archive

I would like to see what combo's/macros people have set up with their pikemen? See what skills in what order are used? Or possibly just which general tactics.

sweep/hit/hit or sweep/actionhit/leghit..... these were my old staples. I havent been using sweep much though lately.

now iuse pretty basic setsof ... actionhit/leghit/leghit ..... and of course the ... hit/stimB/hit

Does anyone use Stun? Which of the area attacks are more useful, spin or cone? does it differ in different situations?

• Huday


• Wanderhome


• Master CH


• Pikeman 4-2-3-3

I use a Long Vibro Axe so my style combos are .... err ... hmmm....

N O N E ! except for /attack. Something like 9 million HAM points to just equip it. At least now that I am a novice pikeman, I get a +3 to "to hit" chance. /sigh

lol I completely forgot about the stun attacks we get ...so very very useless

I don't use combo macros cause I miss a lot a usually need to stim myself or add just 1 more attack.

I use the following aliases:

/alias 1 /intimidate; /polearmstun2; /polearmspinattack1; /polearmsweep1
/alias 2 /polearmsweep1; /polearmsweep1; /polearmsweep1
/alias 3 /intimidate; /polearmactionhit1; /polearmleghit2; /polearmsweep1
/alias 4 /polearmleghit2; /polearmleghit2; /polearmleghit2;

Then I use macros to call a combo of /1; /2 OR /3; /4 .

I am always impressed and learn so much from your posts Earwig. /alias 1 and I can call it through /1 ? Can;t wait to try that out. Thanks.

I never use combos bc of misses and stims. But I almost always do a bleed and spam spin attacks. Save the KD till I need it to cover my heal.

It really depends on what I am fighting. If I am going up against something that cons red to me, I usually start off with an action wound hit, then sweep, then stun, then spam leg hit until I can pull off another sweep. Having CH really helps tank. However, I can't imagine any pikeman being able to take anything on that cons white or above wothout having CH or good medicine and medic.... /sigh

FIX US!!!!

lol, I totally screwed up alias 2 in my post. It should be:

/alias 2 /polearmspinattack1; /polearmspinattack1; /polearmspinattack1

Sorry bout that .

And yes, you can call them using

/1
/2
/3
/4

as needed or macro them in extended combos.

i dont use macros for fighting ... all i do is put my hits up on my hot keys ... i'll hit 3 or 4 at a time ... find tht usually does the trick ... and my fav hit right now is polearm2 ...

One very simpel macro I use all the time:

/follow; /attack;

it speeds up the initial combat fase.

Grimson / Lowca

Wannabe Pikeman / Weaponsmith

/follow

/shout attack

/berserk

/attack

The /shout attack part is to get my pets to attack?

I would never macro any specials. It is too unreliable to believe they will hit the first time.

I don't use macros for fighting but my typical attack sequence:

sweep

action hit

stun 2

polearm strike 2 (repeat until dead)

I find I'm more accurate if the creature is stunned

And I'm not sure what all the complaints are, I have relaitve little problem kiling things that cone yellow or red.

Anything with 3000 or less Ham is little challenge alone and anything with about 6000 Ham is little challenge If I have a pet out, pets are desert razorback, dewback, bantha.

My problems arise when I'm going PvP (anyone running and ranged I can't hit) or having multiple enemies shooting at me, my defence isn't good enough for me to take a lot of hits while fighting one then have to run to the next. Armor is so far more of a hinderance than a help, think I often do mroe dammage to myself using powerful moves and then missing.
