The reason i took up Pikeman wasoriganally because i was tired of doing Teras Kasi ,which i did for around 4 months.
but thats not the only reason, i wanted to do all the Brawler skills , and this one for some reason is the best, it didnt do it for the Dots either i really hate them. I mean come on its not really fun to go into pvp with some dude who has 80% composite armor and uses brawler 0 0 0 2 so they can burn your mind and say you suck when really you may have been getting a drink or whatever you could have been doing. But anyway hopefully this will be as fun or better than Tka.

Because I looted an exceptional lance off an elder...745 str action poison 600s, 26000 uses. Hey at least I'm honest.

I've always loved polearms, so I bought a second account dedicated to master pikeman
(I'm picking up fencer defence now to compensate for our low defence, but pikeman is where my heart is
)

I chose pikeman because the specials look cool and its the first ever profession that I actually got to novice before I changed my mind another million times. Now im a 3-3-3-3 pikeman and well on the way to master. Plus, at polearms 3 i was doing 1.3k damage

I am like everyone else I like pikeman because there specials look grate. I mean I know this was the profession for me when I first went to Fort Tuskan and saw a master pikeman just destroying groups of sand people by himself and at that moment I new it pikeman was for me.

It was something my guild doesn't have and sounded like it would be cool. I'm still in the brawler section however, which sucks until I can use my LVA. On top of the fact I want to be a defense stacker, so I'm doing master pike, sword, brawler...TKA 4/0/0/4 and fencer 1/0/0/0 which pretty much maxes def. It may not be the best combo for pvp currently, but at least its what I want to do, not because its uber or something.

I kept pikeman because my enemys are to busy watching my special attack animations to react. and to all those who say it is not balanced, go hunt NS. the devs knew that pikeman wasnt a good stand alone profession so they gave us NS. (but mostly because I enjoy watching the specials with my energy lance)

Why? Kinda easy to say...
I LOVE IT!
I don't really have any other reason to be Pikeman. I am what I want to be. During guild raids, I act asa tank, but when solo, I don't mind being gimped or underpowered. I just love the profession.
And I am going to train it in RL once the holidays are over.

My alt picked it up for a couple of reasons...
1.) When my main was mastering fencer, I really enjoyed the melee aspect of it. In many ways, I use 1H more than rifle.
2.) When you swing the pikes at night, I like the "trace" marks they make. Looks rather nice. In fact, the first time I saw it, I thought there was a dual-bladed saber in action.
3.) I needed a melee to combo with my main, and I didn't want to do fencer again. Since TKM and Swordsman never really appealed to me, Pike it was.
I'll certainly keep pikeman with the DOT nerf. Heck, I didn't even know about the DOTs when I picked up the prof in the first place!
I've only been master for a few days, but I like it thus far.

Two reason:
A: Very few others have it.
B: Pretty much a garentie that it will not get nerfed. It already is underpowered (My opionon)
