Quick , change the thread title to something else before it gets nerfed!
too late, check the announcement thread, it's getting nerfed tomorow.
Not that the couple posts here made the difference, but the fact that all the little kids in game always make it their priority to brag about every little thing they ever loot which leads to these nerfs. If people would keep quite weapons like this could last a lot longer before they got nerfed. stuff will eventually get nerfed; however, if people are quite and just enjoy cool things such as this pike, then it will take some time until some idiot feels it's his duty to report this kind of stuff. lesson here is if you loot something really cool and really unique use it and enjoy it but don't tell anybody what it's stats are or where you got it. And most of all don't brag about how uber it is because the devs and all your jelous peers in game will expodite the nerf bat. What's interesting to me is how the devs change the stuff we like so fast but it takes them months upon months to change the things that need to be changed. oh well, just my two cents
It's hardly a "nerf" to change a pike with an obviously bugged 60m range to the standard 5m range. Making a melee profession able to attack from further away than a pistoleer is a major bug and needed to be fixed as quickly as possible.
Unbalanced weapons are a large part of what created all the pre-CU problems. The last thing we need is more of them, so I'm very glad they're fixing this and I hope it's retroactive.

Well at least for a little while longer pistoleers that root my pkieman will sh!t thier pants, because I just checked and my poison spike still says 0-60m range. I did everything I could "hide" it from the data base scan and avoid nerf if it was a one day sweeping change. If its changed on server side as a continous change then it will be a retroactive nerf/fix(i.e. eventually one would have to put the weapon in a "normal" level inventory and then the nerf bat will strike down our beloved poison spike).
Anyway, any one else's still say 0-60m, or better yet anyone try it out in combat. I am leaving mine on a vendor offer to try to prevent the nerf for a few days.

i say good on you for looting it,u looted it, it sould remain yours and if it makes you uber then fair play to you,the morons should have sorted this b4 it was put into the game,but now like everything else in game ur gona get ur pants pulled over your head and shafted.i really cant see the pathetic reason for ppl wanting us all to be the same (ie all nerfed to sh!t),to be honest is there any real reason why you now need to try and loot one of these??it wont be anything special cus remember everythings now brought into line,MY GOD i just realized i think the english government has taken over soe thats why we all play in a nanny state game
/agree finally someone who understands. The game will be completely lame if every weapon is the same. Caps and too much "balance" make use all identical and profs/weapons lose thier special role.
