2. I wish to block something.
3. I wish to to stay alive while I am swinging special move animations into the air, if u donno what's wrong with the accurancy, less ham please.
4. I want the moves that's similar to Kalik in Soul Calibur, it can be named polearm hit 3 but must have the animator see soul calibur before he designs the move. (The one that he steps back with a thrust attack looks very good imo)
5. Please watch XMA (Extrame Martial Arts) in discovery channel to see what's a polearm... Depends on the type of pole they are using, (heavy or light) a pole can be either about speed (chinese style) or crushing power (Japanese style, which I think Mister Lucas will like), very diverse.
6. I've never feel like paying for 5 monthes of beta until 3 days ago when I start as a Pikeman, I wish I can get a refund, so are the other holo grinders who picked pikeman.
and smething to kip distanse from target (target cant rich u)

Lets be honest here. We don't need more specials we can't afford until our HAM system is completely reworked.
Beeing honest with you would mean telling you that HAM costs is an issue for the top 5 thread, and will most likely be resolved with the new combat system which has been an ongoing discussion last few weeks. This beeing a wishlist, it's only fair to letthe pikeMan communitywish and have ideas and suggestions.
So you see, make a wish on a new ability or whatever you think would be cool and interesting, and don't let your mind get caught up in the current limitations of our profession. ....when you wish upon a star
My wishlist:
Mounted Combat
I would really like to see us beeing able to utilize our KD on a speeder bike or a mount. It doesn't have to be a KD, it could might as well be a poleArmHit3 as the idea is to be able to do combat will mounted.
Area Bleeds
Thiscould be new bleeds added to our profession, and they wouldperhaps be a part of our already existing area attack skill. For the better part, our area attack should also wound severly and I'm talking like 70-80% of the initial damage.
New Weapons
Yah, we need a LOT of new supercool and unique weapons to be crafted, looted and discovered. These weapons should be socketable and have sweet animations like the energy lance has with the electric pulse and all.
Groupaffected Modifiers
The idea that once joined with a pikeMan in a group, the group members receive a special group bonus in form of defense or offensive modifiers. This would be calculated with a formula based upon numberes of ranged and melee working together.
Deathblow Animation
Ok, so we finally get to be viable and feared in PvP; now we need a new superbuffed deathblow animation and I am thinking something like impaling the incapacitated target on our pike and lifting him up off the ground. A show of strenght and power, and not to mention coolness.
AntiKiting Move
Ok, now this is a ripoff, but I would really like us beeing able to do the infamous scorpion attack from MortalCombat I couldn't think of anything more pleasant than to throw my pike into the ribcage of a pistolere and drag him the 30 m back to me. That should teach the pesky kiters to fear a pikeman.
mmm....deathblow animation.
That would be enough for me to try PvP again.

Ok, this is brilliant. Nothing I like more than being back to back with another melee (especially pike) and dealing the pain. Make the gun guys look sad by comparison.
I totally agree, I want much more benfits from grouping with others than just the increased force followed by greater numbers. Either increase squad leader profession(which is a joke as it is now, sorry, but tis true :smileysad

A ton of wonderful ideas...
Truly lovely! Stacking defenses from multiple classes in a group is a great idea, it kind of steps on squad leaders a little, but I like it nonetheless.

One, they would usually line up side-by-sideforming a sort of thorny wall. To get around one Pikeman's defenses basically meant impaling yourself on his neighbor's weapon. Essentially, your partner's offense becomes your defense.
If two or more Pikeman are grouped together, the group gains a defensive bonus relative to the number of Pikeman in the group. Perhaps something along the line of each Pikeman granting +10 Melee Defense per Pikeman in the group. You must have a polearm equipped tocontribute to the bonus, but not to gain from it. To me this would be the beginnings of an interesting role for Pikeman. If you see a line (group) of10 Pikeman (+100 Melee Defense) charging you on the combat field... you had better run the other way.
The two above bonuses would be stackable. Therefore a group with 3 Pikeman, 1 Fencer, 2 Brawlers, 1 TK,and 1 Swordsman would have a groupwide +30 Melee Defense (woot! I want Pikeman in MY group!) and the 3 Pikeman would have a +50 Accuracy bonus.
This idea is so great, I can't stop thinking about it. I mean, I think about this idea all the time and it's eating me up. Even went and found myself this page on the subject and loved reading more about it. It's a supercool idea and could really really help grouping and multiplaying in this game. Especially for the melee classes, and let's face the truth; they are the ones who havethe mostfun in combat.
