Beating a MBH isn't really anything to be proud of. They have no defenses worth mentioning, and the specials are mostly trashed.

A BH-Carbine/Carbineer or BH-Pistol/Pistoleer, that's something entirely different...

the one in my guild is good. he has all his specials and weapons macro'd to switch them out and attack with different styles on the fly. the duel i lost to him, he nailed me off the bat with a kd/dizzy. after that it was just a matter of time before my HAM was diminished. their specials aren't that bad. the carbine tree has knockdowns for all the specials, but they also add state effects. confusion shot is nasty in itself. and their speed is unmatched. that's why you see so many pistoleers and carbiniers dabbling in the BH trees. oh yeah, we also started at 20m so i couldn't just kd/dizzy him right from the start.


and he isn't so easy to beat when we go raiding. its like the lord of the rings when we go, seeing who gets the higher headcount.

Thats fine for now but when defenses don't stack and fire extinguishers are introduced and without some major upgrades to pikeman you won't be **edit** sorry.

Still waitingto even hear about Fire Extinguishers.


Oh, and they can heal poison right now in the game you know. Think that stops me from killing people with it? Of course not!


And "stacking defenses" does not include everything. I guarantee resistance to KD/Dizzy etc will still work like it does now. No need to make them so crappy. And as long as I have that, you can hit me all youd like. Ive got decent enough armor.



Besides, Ive figured out ways to pierce people that are buffed with 90% comp. Using straight up specials, no DOTs whatsoever. Maybe I dont kill them in 2 hits, but I still win.

who gonna heal poison in battle ... by the time i heal mine i get another stacked ... so i better keep it and continu fighting or ill drain all my mind healin poison or bleed ...


Once ive healed a mind bleed for a 2hand sword .. he bleed me again ... thats an cycle that wont end...


So stack poison , fire , diseases then use your best pole and its a jobs done most of the time... pikeman know that but we need alot of NS lance to do so ... we should be a good profession without the need of those. Once we get them we should be extraordinary .. yet were only extraordinary with those, without were nothing

As for stacking classes, EVERY SINGLE PVP BUILD USES OTHER CLASSES in their template.



If youre taking doctor, or scout, or weaponsmith dont complain about losing in PvP. Im not saying Pikemen dont need help as a class by themselves I am saying As a Master Pikemen using a pike to duel/GCW I am extremely strong and efficient. If You cant win duels, theres probably a reason why. If you cant fight successfully in the GCW, Im trying to help you out.



Dont jump down my throat, call me a liar and point fingers when Im TRYING TO HELP YOU! lol. I mean really, if you want to continue sucking with a pike, go right ahead! No ones stopping you. I, however, like to win fights with a pike. /shrug






Ok. I am a master rifleman, master fencer, and tka 4/0/0/4 . I do not consider myself a Rifleman, Fencer, OR a tka. This is a pvp TEMPLATE. its NOT a profession. Same with your build, you have master pikeman in your build but you are NOT a master pikeman, it is only part of your template. You are far beyond a master pikeman, as you have made clear. No class should have to dabble in order to be good- look at pistoleer, its a very very sorry class by itself- which it shouldn't be- but when its stacked with bounty hunter or smuggler its very good.. its that simple.. carbineer also sucks- you have to dabble in bh in order for it to be good- not everyone has the skill points to dabble like you're doing- but if they have strictly master pikeman then the class should at least be useable, its totally ridiculous right now.

Dolph, shouldn't you be on the ahazi forum accusing some reb guild of exploiting or saying how much catch sucks or something like that.


You must have hit the wrong forum button.


(Or you could be participating in a xxx is sexy thread. Those are cool.)

lol

i would like to see you put your money where your mouth is


tk masters do everything better than us pike

the hit harder, faster, better def, more accuracy, less ham, force of will,

and yes pikes can do ok with creativity and player skill

but as far as down right character skills we suck


So next time you get hit in the **edit** playing dodge ball in your 6th grade gym class

do try to compinsate for pretending you are uber in a video game

Ubese stuff is a 3rd level box in Armorsmith, if I recall correctly.

The rumor is, they are dropping the ability of combining all the Melee skills, so you have to choose one. I was planning to go with this profile too, until I read that.
