I posted this awhile back but since we are doing praising here is a fun moment i had with pikeman


(just a little side note, my skills currently were TKA 4-0-0-4, Swordsman 0-0-4-0, novice medic, Master pikeman)

Earlier today I was on Dantooine talking to some friends in our local cantina, when I get a /tell from a friend (master commando) asking me if I want to do a small raid with him to a place called the Oasis. I was a little hesitant because I just got master pikeman and haven’t PvPed with it at all. After hearing horror stories from people saying how awful it is in PvP due to the accuracy/speed I wasn’t too eager to try it out. But after a little coaxing he finally got me to go.

When we got there and scoped out the place we saw 2 maybe 3 people. We decided it wasn’t anything we couldn’t handle so we few back to Anchorhead to become overt and head back there and give the Imperials a surprise. When we got there, there was one red dot leaving. We were just about to chase him but then he looped around and we spotted him just little ways away getting off of his vehicle and pulling out LLC (light lighting cannon) and running toward us. Quickly I hit /burst and darted over there using COB to dodge his shots I managed to get him knocked down and get one more hit off before my friends flame took over and took his ham away like nothing. Just after we finished off this guy we see another person trying to make a fast escape. Since we were fairly close to the entrance she was kind of bottlenecked into coming through either one of us. She chose me…bad idea. I targeted, then I hit my knockdown and she fell like a rock off of her bike, a few action hits and some flame and she came down with not too much of a fight on her part.

After these two deaths we waited around for a little longer hoping that more Imperials might show up. None did. After about 20 minutes we gave up waiting and decided to head over to Fort Tusken to see if there were any over imperials there. There were none. After we dinked around there for a little while my friend logged off, I said my farewells and hopped back on my speeder and darted back to Anchorhead. On my way though I spotted a very nice town called Mos Nox that had a lot of venders and looked like a neutral crafting town. I made a mental note to come back and check out some venders if I had the time.

When I got to Anchorhead I asked the recruiter to make me covert again. Then I walked into the cantina and saw a dead AFK rebel lying on the ground. I quickly opened up my map and my heart jumped, there was an overt Imperial right in front of me, or it looked that way because he was downstairs. So just when I got the nerve to go down there and die an honorable death for the Rebelian he came storming up chasing someone else and I saw it…the dreaded unarmed hit 3 animation. I knew I wasn’t going to hang around then so I made a quick dart for the door, I made it outside only to see that he was following me closely. With a quick dizy + Knockdown I was down on the ground. I was an easy target and he finished me off with ease, lying there with my health bar all the way gone and having the TKM standing over my body I hit FoW and luck was on my side because for the first time ever, it worked how it should. I got up with half health. Soon after I got up I managed to get two bleeds of on him and make a dash for it. After he started to bleed he ran back downstairs into the cantina. Quickly I followed and got the finishing hits on him. He was through, and it felt really good to get a TKM under a fair fight.

After all this was over and I got my BF healed, I went back to the town I spotted on my way over to go check out the venders to kill time and wait for my Faction to be covered again. While I was there I didn’t run into anyone until after I bought a few things and was running around the town seeing how it was set up. The person I saw was a Novice Bounty Hunter. Or that’s what his title said. Either way, as soon as he saw me he jumped on his speeder and made a dash for it. Since I was already ahead in PvP today I didn’t try to push my luck and chase after him. Instead I ducked behind their city hall and watched him zoom around in wide circles around the city hall/me. But while I was watching this guy I glanced down at my spitial box and saw “Attack, Attack, Attack!” clearly someone was sicking a pet on me. I whirled around and saw a graul and someone telling it to attack me. As soon as I saw this I quickly hit /burst again and darted toward the graul and his master. As soon as he saw me coming he started to run the other way planning on leaving me to his graul. But either lag or luck were on my side because he didn’t realize I was burst running until I was on top of him, spamming my bleeds and action hit 3, He went down after 3 or 4 hits. And I performed a deathblow to him then moved on to his graul. The grauls after the patch I didn’t realize how easy they are now, so I was able to kill the graul with out any problem. After this I knew it was my time to leave, having been a good first experience with PvP and pikeman.


good luck everyone sorry for the long post

I could have read War and Peace in less time. Wow.

While I commend your efforts as a pikeman, killing Imperials is not justifiable.

Rebel scum!

My coolest experience as a pikeman was when I was fighting at fort tusken and was in a room where a bunch of low-level tuskens were stuck in the walls. One finally spawned in the middle of the room and I used an area attack to get the others out from the walls, not knowing that there were like 4 or 5 of them stuck in there.I was quickly surrounded so I tried sweep attack 2 for the first time to see if it would work; and WHOA! All of the tuskens around me went flying to the ground in one big sweep. It was awesome!!! I don't know when I will ever be in such a perfect situation again to use sweep 2.

Nice Job Rabbyte, kill all the Imp trash you can.

I love running through the Jinda cave, getting the teddybears to follow me, and then when I got a great bunch trying to get me, I stop and use area2 and Sweep2.. it's so great, they r humanoids, so when dizzied.. oh well

Praise to all the people on this board that have given me advice and been friendly while i'm slowly but surely heading to master

Well at least someone never has to work again.
