Wow. Be whatever you want and have fun with it. If you don't like it, change it. It's a game. The "end-is-near, raving lunatic" style panicking needs to end.whose being all end is near im sure as heck not i just wanted to know how bad im gonna suck which i will because i refuse to drop either of the professions I love. not only that icant even drop dancer even if i wanted to to go combat because dancers cant respec into combat professions
Hehe, sorry.. I didn't mean you. I was speaking on general terms. The CU, even after extensive testing on my part, never made me want to quit. There are things I hate about it myself as well.. but ugh, the way the people are reacting is what makes me want to quit. Logged on yesterday to find (yes, literally) over 100 people in Theed on Radiant, spamming constantly, wrecking speeders, doing massive Launcher Pistol duels, spamming insults and nasty things at a CSR who was nearby (as if the poor guy had anything to do with the CU), and trying to crash the server. While the CU itself doesn't make me want to quit, seeing things like that do. People are going absolutely nuts, very needlessly if you ask me.
If you like dancer, keep it. Definitely. The point of the CU is that we fight in groups now. People are saying combat professions cannot stand on their own right now in the CU because they're still used to being able to solo everything.
(Long story short, the people spamming in Theed were all booted into space by the CSR)

From my tests I don't think its all that. I don't think we are very good tanks. I tried about every combination of a melee template I could think of and still do not last to long. Either jedi are to powerful, can't seem to keep up with healing, or just dont seem to do enough damage. Whats your guys takes on this just sort of curious. I seem to have done better myself with carbines/ cm.....
Ur right we s uck..

When Radiant came back online after the CU, I did a lot of dueling. With my Master Pikeman/Master Swordsman/Master Brawler template I did extremely well. Pikeman does not suck at all. Only duel I lost was to a Jedi with Master Lightsaber, Master Defender, 4004 Healer which is hardly anything to be embarrased about.. and even then I was doing really good damage to him.. he was too though 
The others that I beat (at times almost too easily) were Master Bounty Hunter, TKM, Rifleman/Commando, and a few Fencers. I was unbuffed and ate no food. If I had had more time, I would've just gone overt for a bit to see what that was like. As a whole I think the changes to Pikeman are very positive ones and the way combat works now requires a lot more thought and strategy, and with the skills and abilities we have, we Pikemen have a perfect opportunity to utilize that.
