Pikeman Archive

Be aware, anyone who's working towards pikeman on TC at the moment.

The prerequisites for getting Novice Pikeman are now 2-handed 4 and polearms 4 (unarmed 4 is no longer required).

This of course solves none of the problems with unequal skillpoint requirements and screws anyone who was grinding unarmed on their way to getting novice pike for testing purposes.

Enjoy!

Those requirements make a little more sense

Don't get me wrong, I personally prefer the 2-h over the unarmed requirement. However, it doesn't fix the TKA/Fencer/Swords triple mastery issue, and it just shifts our most expensive template from pike/swords to pike/fencer.

Plus I'm now much farther away from being able to test the goddamn pikeman profession and that's ticking me off

was about to start on unarmed 3 glad i didnt

Well there goes my new template of master pikeman/master rifleman/novice commando

Guess I'll have to figure out where else I can spend my spare skill points

I'm actually not so thrilled about this myself. When we had to do unarmed, there were some interesting profession combinations out there. Now it's almost like we're supposed to go swordsman if we want a second melee profession or to dabble. No biggie or anything. Just seems like it's putting us a corner.

And we all know, you NEVER back a Pikeman in to a corner cause ... well ... well, just because you're not supposed to. /nod firmly

Ok so basically I no longer need the unarmed tree, I now need the twohanded tree in brawler to keep master pike when the CU comes out...right??
