Thread: Gun do something, now.
Speed is fine with a player-crafted lance. Only time speed is a problem is when you have a looted lance with 800+ max damage and a speed of 5+. I still think the problem with us for most part is weapons cannot be player crafted and are accuracy suck azz. It is not that we cannot use dots or are speed is to slow. Dot weapons granted at such a low skill level killed the dot weapon. When every one found out are only ability in p-v-p could be attained at such a low skill level we become part of the fotm or template. Every one could have it and use it. Every one can agree that something had to be done about Combat Medics dots. Instead of talking about how dots got taking away from us we should be screaming to get fixed so that we do not even have to pull out a night sister weapon to be completive in p-v-p. We have become so dependent on these weapons and they are like a drug to some of the community of pikeman thay cannot use and going through whithdrawls.
Lets start geting some fixes are time is due.It has been due for a while and it just got worse instead of better for the pikeman profession in P-V-P.

If? Most are.
As for the loot component idea, I've suggested a few times that the Vibro Lance and Long Vibro Axe schematics be changed to include a Reinforcement Core. This would allow for Geonosian Reinforcement Cores, or Acklay Bones to be used. However, it is not that simple. A standard crafted Reinforcement Core would increase minimum and maximum damage by 40-45 and reduce speed by .5-.6 seconds. This would leave us with a base LVA of roughtly [email protected] and while I'd enjoy it, I'm not quite sure if the Devs or other professions would. Most likely, the base LVA and VL schematics would also be altered in that the speed and damage were changed so that the addition of a Reinforcement Core would bring the weapons to their current levels. You also have to remember that if this was done, we would face the same problems with Acklay Bones as Swordsmen do, namely slow speed and inaccuracy.
only tkm and fencer

Are we talking with or without skill tapes? Considering how many people have skill tapes, I was assuming with. Without them tkm, fencer, and pistoleer are the only ones to be at speed cap. With them, my sarcasm remains valid. Most are.
