even if the values are off they're close and much better to have than nothing. Maybe it can be updated as needed.

I must say I love pikeman. I'm at 4043 (+ master brawler) right now and can solo enraged rancor missions, fully buffed of course... I never try to kill anything without buffs. Vasarian Brandy is a blessing as well. Using 70% kinetic Ubese armor as well.

I have no experience with swordsman or fencer, but the area attacks that pikeman have are awesome. Use area kd against three rancors and then use spinattack2 .... I hit for 2k regulary against them standing up with spinattack2 with my LVA (140-557, 4.5 sec, -15/-18/-18 with powerup). When my ham is running low I use warcry2 on them so I dont get hit that often. The new range mods on the LVA and VL (0/-1/-1) is a blessing, I hardly miss at all.

My 2nd holo said MBH but I dont think I wanna touch a ranged weapon now.

I'm not saying that pikeman is NOT broken (just as carbineer is slightly broken as well) But as a former master carbineer I saw the same complaints there but I never had any trouble with it. I used to outdamage entire groups of pistoleers and riflemen as a carbineer. As a pikeman I now do the same.

Oh and I almost never PvP so I cant say anything about pikeman in PvP. I only know from carbineer that I used to kill most ppl with my laser carb.

Just my two cents.

Please explain to me how you get enraged rancor missions by yourself?

I was in a group with 5 people and 2 graul maulers and we still couldn't get the enraged rancors. Someone let me know how. I beat these guys in no time at all and I want to be rich as well.

No, you need a group to get them. They are difficulty level 87+ I think. So gather a difficulty group together and then all go separate ways.

I got them with two CH's and one more guy. I think there was a graul and a rancor or two in the group.

you need to find yourself a master CH and get him to pull out a Rancor or a Kimo.. either way, somehow only a master CH can get those missions, and not a master pikeMan, swordsMan, Fencer, TKA, Pistolere.. etc... It's kinda weak, I want to be able to choose whatever mission I see fit once master.. oh well, guess joining a group for a terminal "boost" ain't so bad either

Also, be sure to have everyone in the groupequiptheir bestweapon when selecting missions to help get the ones with higher pay/difficulty. I have to remind people of this all the time when grouping.

spam: /polearmhit2

or if there's multiple enemies knocked down I spam:

/spinattack2

/areaattack1 (dont have #2 yet)

works great for me. Funny to be surrounded by 5 enraged rancors and you kill em all in less than a minute.

Just watch the difficulty number on missions you can get in a group, each pet and or player that joins the group will raise the difficulty. For enraged rancors you need it at 87. I think I can get diff 40 on my own.. not sure tho. You'll need like 6-10 ppl with some pets depending on the ppl. With many masters of a weapon prof you can get it easier.

There are pikeman that kill 5 enraged rancors by themselves in under a minute??? I must be playing a different game...

Tzitzimime - Creature Handler and Pikeman since the beginning.
I continue to play this game out of love for my professions.

When the "New Game Enhancements" go live, I will leave this game.
You can give it a pretty name, but it does not hide your shame...

"I mean, what is a pikeman and why is it something in the game? The only other profession we didn't absorb into one of these iconic templates is the creature handler and only 1% of our players play that character type."
