A pikeman thats speed capped hits if not at the same speed, neerly as fast as a tkm. so you say a tkm can head hit and has dizzy/kd. enter my 290 strength mind fire, area attack 2, and any sweep attack and you get the same if not better thing.
TKA destroyed pikeman before mitigation was introduced and high-level armor was available, the removal of mitigation and an armor nerf alone is not enough to fix things. Hopefully the additional changes made will at least put us on an equal footing, but the whole idea of a combat balance is that no one class should rule.
Once again, comparing your power when using tens of millions of credits worth of looted weapons and attachments is meaningless. Compare your abilities with standard weapons and skill mods or you're not speaking for "pikemen", you're speaking for one pikeman.

You do understand what a speed cap is, right? Throw all the tapes you want at it, you're not getting any faster.
Must misread it, I don't beleive pikemen needs 3sec delay, rifles do though. We get elect and kinetic as our damage types. DoTs do alot the damage. Then maybe a high LVA can finish them.
