Hate to deflate some egos but there is no awesome Pikeman, just awesome loot weapons.

Loot weapons usually are only good for the DOT attacks. I've used maybe one loot weapon, a Nightsister Lance a friend gave me for maybe a day, not even as my primary, but just to inflict disease and mindfire. Then I gave it to a Master entertainer dancer friend of mine and she uses it as a prop when she dances at the Cantina.

Without any doubt, pikeman looks about 100 times cooler than the other combat professions. Isn't that the point? No? I'll go then...

You can intim, stun, dizzy, and KD. Even with that, TKMS still tear me apart, please explain these wonderful magical tactics.Oh my god, I hate you, and everyone on your server.. Your posts have made me far past annoyed.You've stated 3 time in this thread that you're such a great pikeman and can take TKMs blah blalh blah, but not once have you shared these tactics, explain some of the duels you have with these TKMs that fall to the might of your slow speeds horrible accuracy and low damage.I feel like Im taking crazy pills...Message Edited by Conja-Copar on 08-02-2004 04:03 PM

Intimidate them. Stun them. Dizzy them. DOT's will be applied now with these attacks (most likely). KD them. If they get up, posture change them. If they get up, posture change them. If they get up, posture change them. If they get up, KD timer will have reset already, KD them. If they get up, posture change them. Reapply states and DOT's as necessary. Always move around just a little (I like to run circles around them to confuse them), because a moving target is harder to hit. Always keep CoB on. Heal when necessary. Take 2 brandies and a canape at the beginning of the fight. If your mind is still dropping, pop another canape. If it is still dropping, pop a muon. Your mind should be invincible now (or practically so). Have 80%+ kinetic comp armor. ALWAYS keep reapplying states and DOT's.
That goes for any melee class. Trust me, as a master swordsman only, I was beating my jedi Knight friend. Now with pikeman as well, I doubt he can touch me (haven't fought him again, yet). It's possible, you just have to know how to use TACTICS. You won't win every single fight you ever enter, but you will win a lot of them, with TACTICS.

No ap, low accuracy (with out citros cake) and low speed at master hurt us. If i find a tkm wearing armor I whipp out my jawa rifle and blast at his mind.
So your argument that pikemen with no loot or mods can beat TKMs is based on situations where you're wearing armor with high kinetic resists and they're wearing no armor?
Somehow I'm less than impressed.

Ok, here I go.
You know what? We HATE these kinds of posts! We KNOW that we don't have the best accuracy, we KNOW that our HAM costs are huge, and we KNOW that we have little to no defenses! You don't have to tell us ok?!!
Never post this junk again!

I apologize for my spelling if you meant me, but that's not the point.
BH, you once again failed to say what "tactics" you use.
A tkm can wear armor too, and he can still get through yours, slowly, but he will.
I assure you I know how to pvP, I've been playing since week one.

Pikeman suck period!! The only way they are good is with other proffession skills and a uber weapon. Sorry just my two cents. It makes no sense an idiot hand fighter is more uber then a bad ass mofo weilding a wicked looking pike. But the devs are idiots so what else is new. Pikeman 4/3/3/3

So basically BH said if they aren't wearing armor he can win if he is? and if they are he uses rifleman? wow...
And To the other post, Yes the intim and stun, I do all those, but it doesnt help very much againts TKms, who can do the same very quickly and add a KD and do twice your damage. Also you mentioned DoTs, well, pikeman sucks without them, thats all Im saying.
EDIT: Im Pikeman/pistoleer on kettemoor, Fencer/Rifleman on Eclipse.
