From here.
Notes of interest to pikemen:
Combat
DoT damage is now tracked for loot permissions.
XP rewards in combat now correctly reflect amount of damage that was done by dots.
DoT stacking has been changed so that each player attacking a target can only have one fire dot, one health bleed, one action bleed and one mind bleed.
Weapon DoT effects now only work if you are certified to use the weapon
CGW
PvP Death Penalty reduction: PvP deaths will no longer suffer 1% decay if items are insured after the player's death.
PvP Death Penalty reduction: PvP deaths will no longer cause items to un-insure after the player's death
That's it. So...no more stacking bleeds, so actionhit1 is now completely useless. Unless it works such that one player can hit actionhit1 and another actionhit2, but not two players hitting actionhit2. Hmm...
Also, now all the nightsister polearms with DoTs can only be used by us. Yay.

So with the removal of bleed stacking, TKA gets yet another buff relative to the other melee profs...

it is always passive nerfs.....i have said this all along.
every thing the do is to stop other proffesions from exploiting too much, but always hurts us more.....
the stacking was probably to stop fencer/pitoleers.....or rifleman/swordsman.....or pikeman/carbineers(never even heard of a player with this mix).....
or it could have been to stop those mind bleed stacking in PvP...becouse that ends a duel fast.
oh well....
just like how mitigation hurt us the most....
when berserk was nerfed it hurt us most, since we hit the slowest.....
Center of being, while our melee freinds are avoiding all kinds of hits, we still take damage, and sometimes it is TONS on larger mobs, that they would have normaly just missed....
knock down timer hurt us the most(Polearm hit 3 would be awesome otherwise).....
Mitigation, hurts pikeman the most....
boost in melee defenses for all proffesions....that hurts the people who ALREWADY can't hit **edit**....
BLOCK!
HAM!
ACCURACY!
DEFENSE!
DAMAGE MULTIPLIERS!
they are amassing quite a collection of things to screw us with....
ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARK SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trust me it's not what you think. I beleive a Dev will be posting more information on the DOTs tomarrow. The DOT system is changed yes, but it looks like it was done to be a boost to the system and not a nerf.
I'll give you the link when they post more information....
