Hehe TH, you want a real challenge? Create yourself a wookie brawler and then progress up the pikeman skill trees. Watch as even after you hit novice pikeman decay mites and sevorts can kill you as you miss, miss, miss, miss...

I'll just join in the mob here and say, TH, I respect that you have and do play this game, and are more in touch with players than many of the dev team, but brawler does not count as pikeman any more than scout counts as creature handler or marksman counts as bounty hunter. Our biggest complain seems to be accuracy with our best weapons, and we do not get certification in those until we reach the actual pikeman profession. I would ask that you make yourself a pikeman character to play before you come and tell us how excited you are for the testcenter changes, and if this is not possible, consult with our correspondent who has advanced in our profession.

At lower levels brawler and ranged do run close to each other in terms of damage and survivability, but when it comes to elite professions pikeman needs some profession specific work. As others have said, working on "melee" encompasses four classes with different skills and challenges. Pikemen, as an elite profession, need some attention.

Many of us continue to play pikeman out of...... love of the idea? obstinacy? hope that it will be worked out? We have worked as hard as any other profession to reach the levels that we have and remain..

the few, the proud, the dubiously hopeful.
