Well, rodian is the best race overall for anything and everything, but barring that wookie sounds like fun

Meh, I'm happy with Mon Cal. Let's be honest here, you can't play a pikeman effectively without buffs (for the most part) against the higher end MOBs, so all that really matters is mind. Having 1300/850/650 mind is a very, very nice thing to have.

I'd do zabrak for anything PvP (or even PvE related). Good mind stats with equilibrium (awesome for PvP when you're fighting someone that's targeting a single pool).

Because Pike speed is like molases, and you'll miss a LOT, and with crappy (at best) armor you really can't afford to take those kind of chances in real battle situations. Now if you want to go out and maul dwarf nunas then you'll be fine. But You'll get owned by Klikniks.
I actually hafta seriously dissagree with this opinion.

I can solo really anything on Endor, Dath, or Dant with a good set of buffs.

With a good LVA you can take down 14k hit point MOB's in about 8-10 hits, so theres really no need to be REALLY fast at it.
and with crappy (at best) armor you really can't afford to take those kind of chances in real battle situations.
I do agree with this. Wookies got the short end of the pike when it came to gettin armor. Altho it'll hopefully be fixed soon.
Being a piker is really one of the best prof's out there I would say right next to swordsman and TKA.

Greetings
I reactivated my account yesterday as i finally have the time to play again after close to a year away.
So im like a complete noob atm since i forgot alot
I decided on making a pikeman maybe with rifleman so i have some ranged attack as well
What would make the best race for a pikeman??
Im split between Rodian, Transdoshan, wookie and Zabrak
Not sure if their Racial mods are any good thou
I like Wookies because of their looks, and they got alot of ham points
But the armor would be a problem right?
Anyway i did some searching and most posts i found about pikemen and race was several months old and dident really make me much wiser
So if someone knows which race makes the best pikeman and if the mods are any good then plz reply
I cant wait to start playing again!!

I really can't say how would be the best race. Myself I would pick Zabrak but just because you have a little be comtrol over moving your stats around. But I know somone will tell you which race is the best if there is one.

What with the Zabrak gives you more control in regards to moving stats around?
I been doing some more reading.. all old posts thou.
But seem to me that perhaps i should consider Zabrak.
since so many choose them, they have to be good
But still not sure what to pick

Zabrak's also get the /equilibrium ability. If one pool gets low, you can /equi and it will even all the pools out. Helps to heal the mind in emergencies if you need to.

That is good info I didn't know that about stun screwing up zabrak equilibrium. See just goes to show that you learn something new about this game everyday.
