Wow! IT looks like I will be able to hit the ground with my lance after all. Right before my body hits it!

the powerhammer has -31 mods too 
. This is a great help to pikeman though but there are still alot of bugs that need to be worked out. If anybody has actually tried to pvp much with pike it is really really sad even if you hit the guy you only do like 30 damage at a time max because of melee mitigation and the 1/3 damage mod for pvp. I just picked up pike for holo but i salute all you guys that have stuck with it and i hope you get more fixes. With all the area attacks and stuff that pike has it could be an absolutely lethal pvp profession if done right. To anybody that actually had trouble grinding pike tho its not that hard. Get buffed, attack lair, spin attack and kill everything at once. Pike really isnt that terrible as a pve class, at least not if you are master, but in pvp it is the worst.

Ok.. now how many of you see the negative mods change from -50 to -45? *coughs*
In any case, this will hopefully be a start of an attention wave, or a small bone to keep us quiet for that small bit longer. I agree this is a great change, but I'm too cautious for now to start dancing around the room bubbling with joy. Heh call me sceptic... wait, I am sceptic.. *grin*
The LVA my alt is using right now on tempestis ALREADY @ -46... Even if they drop the base mod down to -35 to -45, I will continue to put a little accuracy back into the weapon (i've made as low as -40 for special orders in the past)...I seriously doubt they will drop it much lower than around -35... the LVA (and Power Hammer) really hit too hard to have the near zero or positive accuracy (can you say trying to keep it balanced???)... btw My VL's also get the same treatment as my LVA (made them as low as -19)... its possible to do this with ANY melee weapon... its just that most Weaponsmiths choose to decrease HAM costs or try and get that extra -0.1 spd off the weapon... believe you me I will be trashing my old stock when this accuacy mod goes live (anda few prototypes have been made)

I hit for 47 on a master tka with he hits me for 70. With all the defense + the pvp nerf ( mitigation and the 75% thing) I go from a 900 dmg hit to a 47 one? If I do polearm hit 3 which will take 223 points of ham I can do about 250 max on a mtka hehe how stupid. talk about unbalanced crap.

You've got my attention. However we've gotten our hopes up before and got burnt bad. I'll believe it when I see it. When we can go toe to toe with the other melee professions I will be happy. Until then it's all smoke to me. Yes it sounds like a small victory but I'm afraid it isn't enough. We have waited for months and this lil scrap isn't good enough. They need to fix the profession and quit screwing around. A piece of meat thrown over the fence isn't going to cut it.
