Retired Pikeman here:
I think your a little off, at master:
PVP: Speed is number one problem
PVE: Ham is Number one problem
Accuracy is pretty much not an issue once you get up the combat xp tree, but imho it shoudl be +10 or 15 in each box not 0 20 0 20
I'm not Master yet, but I think HAM and Accuracy are equally the worst problems in both PvP and PvE. My speed will only get better, and at the moment it's not much of an issue for me... so I don't see it becoming one. I love the specials I have acquired so far, if I could count on them to land more often then I could construct more efficient macros... and if I wasn't killing myself with the HAM costs then the occasional miss wouldn't sting as much. Speed is the least of my concerns right now.
I might be mistaken, but I believe the accuracy mods changed recently... they are now 0 30 0 30 as you go up the Combat xp tree. The source of our problem is weapon accuracy, the extra accuracy mods help but don't solve anything.
Sorry didn't specify this, but HAM is too high but can be easily managed with just sunburn

TH: It depends on how the block and the attack stack up
Nice try Psykeman, thanks for your efforts. I would have liked to have seen some harder questioning, but I think you did ok, considering you were able to talk with him at all. Hardball questioning might have ruined any chance of a response.
I don't think his response is much of an answer. I still want to know why block always allows damage. We need an answer for this.

My original theory was that if JTL came out before the revamp there would be no revamp for Pikeman... because it wouls just put more on their plates...but hopefully Im wrong
