Thread: can pikeman be good pve soloers?
Yeah, its possible. Its the same template as mine and I have no problem soloing multiple cl80+ mobs.
Which lance do you use and what are the stats? Also do you have SEAs? I'm assuming you are using armour break?
I started my second slot toon recently... went Master Pikeman/TKM and Doc 4000. I gotta say. It rocks. I only have +8 polearm speed in the suit of armor i wear ( 6500 kinetic/energy maurader). my pike is pretty good. 1051 max but high speed... 2.47... my modded dps is only 498 right now. improved stunning blow, improved intimidate & improved warcry are such a good combo..... I can solo giant canyon krayts ( lvl 86) right now. I use improved bacta a lot but rarely even need to use stims. And the sky is the limit too. currently i use no pups.... i do pop some food... working on getting fs melee spd and enough ADK's to make sure my armor never goes bad... then gonna collect AA's and passively search for a more uber pike. Also gonna go after the great kaminoan staff to have a good kinetic pike. This is an excellent Pve template. Haven't tried to solo a gorax yet but am looking forward to it. As far as pvp goes.... haven't tested it too much but i know with the healer and improved COB i won't go down quick. anyway, my 2 cents. I hope it helps and would very much love to hear other peolpes strategies.
Tago - scylla
I am also Master Pike, TKM and Doc 4000...
Not sure about the Gorax, not tried yet, but I had no problem with a Juvie Krayt. I also decided to do a little trophy hunting last night and the CL80 mobs were no trouble at all, including the Mutant Acklay.
PvP is just as impressive - I love it.
You may also want to look at the food / Drink you have. For any high end PvE I have the following stacked: Blob Candy, Kanali, Spiced Tea, Ahrisa, Pikatta or Vegeparsine, Breath of Heaven and Thunderclound. For really high end I pop a Booster Blue as well. The result is that they miss me more than hit.
I only use 1 pike now - NSEL, Damage Sliced and pupped with an ADK. Max is at 1113 and midified DPS at close to 600. SAC is a little high at 100, but I tend to do combos that keep this down. My other pike is a Kamoian (s?) Great Staff, and that is almost identical stats, apart fro the SAC is just 85 so I alternate them.
So much fun ![]()
Accuracy SEAs make a big difference to armour break, which until I hit about +15 I found sub-par on sticking. I've got SAC pups on my lances, as they are high dps anyway, but it means I've not tried it with the full +25 due to the accuracy debuff the PuPs give.
One thing to note though is the changes to Doc, with publish 21. Since they are finally fixing the healing skills, you may also need a decent healing efficiency SEA or two.

I have that template as well, and have a kaminoan sliced and ADK'd, and I can solo the following -
Giant Canyon or lower krayts
Gorax
Acklay (the real one not mutant)
Axzva Min
Anything else save ancient krayts, necrosis, or DJK/DJM type stuff.
You just need good food, well timed AB, and patience...
