Pikeman Archive

Im going for Carbineer/Pikeman with medic skills (4-3-4-0) thats right im gonna buy my stim Cs

It looks to me that the pike will compliment the carbine well, due to the action basd nature of our atacks, but I figure most of the time ill use area attacks with carbine pull in 5 or 6 mobs, and sweep em todeath... and if pikeman doesnt work for that, ill go back to swordsman, which is great for area attacks.

I hit Novice Doctor last night, but for the guy above, I think we are the only two pikemen/doctors

I am just waiting to be sitting in the anchorhead tavern with "Novice Doctor" as my title and have someone challenge me to a duel with the upmost confidence. *evil grin*

And lets see, theres no way I'd want to pay for my stim c's and wound packs

You'll find that buying bulk resources for organic chemistry is much more cost effective than relying on doctors with vendors and bazaar terminals. At master medic you sorta need to somewhat rely on doctor vendors for factory crates, if you dont want to own/maintain them yourself.

All and all I'd say it costs money to be a medic, and my pikeman career supports that. I don't see why people even attempt to "Turn Profit" in this game, it costs money to get better

Yes rifle offers great defense for a pikeman...but I am going with carbineer because the attacks from it target body....and so do the specials for pike attacks.....it helps for hunting and doing missions to quickly incap your target...plus carbine is quick and powerful for close combat pvp style...infact I'm not sure if I would break out my Vibro Long Axe in a pvp situation unless the other person is melee style too.

Squad Leader.

But until I I get high enough to start having to worry about running out of points I'm a mix of CH/Ranger/Pikeman/Squad Leader.

Expert Carbineer, with Expert Ranged Support. Exclusively targeting the Action pool with Leg Shot 2 and Polearm Leg Hit 1 for efficient kills. Although I won't be achieving Master Carbineer, as I want Master Architect/Pikeman first and foremost.

Merchant

Seriously.

1) Architect.

2) Miner (I know there's no Miner class but that's what I'm doing and it's where I make most of my money.)

Novice Pikeman.. and Master Tailor. What? I've got to look good..

But yeah I keep novice medic around because of the sheer usefulness of using stims.

Here's how I stand skill wise as of today:

-Medic-

Diagnostics II
First Aid II
*qualified for First aid or Diagnostics III

-Brawler-

TK II
Polearm IV

-Pikeman-

Defense III
Support I

-Scout-

Master Scout

-Creature Handler-

Taming II
Empathy I
Management I

-Marksmen-

Pistol III
Ranged Support III

I'm not sure where I'm going with all of these. I'll probably pick up pharmacology III...I'm gonna master pikeman, and I might master creature handler....but I'll see how it is after the nerf. I might only go for Taming IV, Empathy I, Management III....but we'll see. I think I'm gonna keep my pistoleer skills, but I'll probably ditch the support. I only want ranged as a back-up....and I just started tka cause I'm kind of unhappy with pikeman right now. I was going to compare it pikeman, because it just seems so much more powerful. We'll see where my path leads me.

Well someone said it wouldn't happen...but it did...

Polearm/Chef/Medic

I can whoop ass while eating, healing myself as needed. Its sweet. Using my Tatooine Sunburn (+1600 Strength, +1600 Stamina) I can spam my knockdown move and complete a fight against a red mob at full HAM.
