From what creatures are these energy pikes looted?
and if they really want to fix pikeman they should look at the accuracy issues, the accuracy on pikeman is possibly the worse in game character accuracy, even with that long stick of metal we use to jab people in the eye, nothing ever gets solved i dropped my pike and missed the floor so to say, yeah the wound is heavy on my long vibro axe 51.7% and the damage is nice 115-465 but if i cant ever hit what im aiming at whats the point, and defense vs knock down or dizzy doesnt help much seeing as how if im a foot soldier with with 2/2/4/3 stats a tka novice with dizzy can easily kill me even though im buffed, all he need do is dizzy me then use knock down repeatedly and with the speed at which they move thats not hard to keep you down on the ground an unarmed tka's speed is at 1.5 while a pikemans is around 5.4 sometimes 4.5 depending on the weapond and modifiers you use, or if the weapon is sliced or not,
so in general pikeman needs
Accuracy
Speed
Weapons
Specials
Defense
and Wound Damage (by that i mean the ability to suffer the 344 mixed stat loss a special takes me to use)
I was master pikeman for a day. When i did manage to hit someone that i already managed to dizzy/kd i gave it up.
i feel for you guys. Now i am TK and its like going from novice marksman to master BH.
The dev team doesn’t want players to get tied down with the idea of being a single profession. The game was designed so players would have a greater customizability with their characters."

Wow. That's 7 pages of pissed off pikeman. 7!!! Now that the super bowl is over how about you try to answer these questions again, and maybe this time you can think before you type.
We're all supposed to sit around and not be able to kill anyone for 2 **edit**ing months (or however long) until this magical combat pass. I know you can throw out quick fixes, why don't you fix us now. I doubt any of the other combat classes would have a problem with us getting fixed a bit early.
Also, why on earth did you even bother asking us for questions you had no intention of asking? Being a combat profession we were bound to ask mostly combat questions. Supposedly they're being addressed in the pass, but what questions could we ask that we can get a straight answer on? Why oh why is it a big secret what's happening in the next patch??
I read through all SEVEN pages of these responses looking for TH to answer some of our concerns regarding his responses and NOTHING. Thanks for nothing. Waste of my time and everyone elses.
think TH will ever respond to this?
Personally, I opened this post expecting answers to my prayers.....instead I got more questions......
We have a Force Pike? (This thing? that sucks? And is called a lance?)
We are Hybrid?
Wonder what the mysterious all-powerful combat pass will bring for us.....
Oh one more thing, in my research (correct me if Im wrong) I discovered that Force pikes were designed specifically to combat Jedi, with the push of a button they generate an energy aura around the lance, this aura works as a sheild and can parry lightsabers/blasters working in most respects as a lightsaber does (cept' its weilded as a pole) this aura combined witht the strength of most Royal Guards can actually rip through pretty thick armor and tissue.....In my opinion this would warrant a Heavy Armor peircing/Blaster Refecting weapon with damage much further above a LVA. Not a Poision DoT thing with only 10-200dmg......and no AP....
