Thread: Guide to the Nightsister Energy Lance
I do give the Dev's a little credit for putting this pike in the game. I know it's a pain to get your hands on one but if you think about PvE and not PvP then it is a decent weapon. I mean sure most high end mobs are armor light or higher but they also have a higher resistence to kinetic then to energy.
I mean think about a Nightsister Elder? I much rather be a Master Pikeman with a energy lance then a Master TKA. (in case you haven't seen them Elders have 100% Kinetic resist and only 30% or 35% (I forget) resist to energy.)
I DO agree 100% with you though that given everything you have to go through to get this thing.....IT BLOWS. But if it was easier to get (ie like the Scythe) then it would be a more formidable weapon.

Heh seriously.. I think it's the principle of the thing. This is our weapon... the one that was added to make us shut up. It didn't do that, but regardless, as you pointed out, this is our "legendary weapon." It doesn't matter if it's amazing or not, by principle, most of us want it just to say "see, we did it, we are Pikemen complete!"
Others, I don't know... that's what it is for me.
So let me get this straight, regardless of how good or bad the weapon is we have to sit by and watch other professions get better loot schematics where our supposedly "elite" pike is far below the bar? Something in your logic is broken my friend, not meaning to insult or anything but wouldn't you rather ask for it to get fixed instead of just waving it around people to show off and then switching to your trusty LVA in battle? If it IS our "legendary" pike, which it is NOT with its current stats, it should be something we all want to get and use until it breaks from overuse and get a new one. The principle of the thing is that you aspire to become and achieve something great in all fields, if I wanted just visual effects I'd have gone Dancer and pop the snazzy smoke bombs. I want a nice effect coupled with combat efficiency, what's so hard to realize about that?
I think the weapon pass was publish 9 (?).
Perhaps all our weapon woes will be solved then.

lol, how many Pikemen here now will be willing to wait until publish 9....hell publish 7 has nothing for Pikemen whatsoever...kind of a smack in the face if you ask me.

Like the old saying goes 'Love it or leave it'.
ok, i just got one of these weapons. actually, i got 3, but don't be too jealous yet. its great for sticking some diseases on your target, but that's about it. the stats on my best one are 3.8 speed, 40ish to 372 damage. but the AR1 really hurts. if someone is wearing armor, its not going to do much damage. i was dueling people with it in full suits of composite armor, and doing poor damage. the mitigation hurts us bad on this one. so basically, hit someone 2 times with it to stick the dots, then get your other weapon out to deal the damage.
oh yeah, it also has the red ribbon effect that tka's get when using specials, and only sparks when you use a shuttle. well, that's the only time i could see it. when i'd unequip it then re-equip it, others around me could see the lightning effects.
basically, you have this weapon for people around you at starports to go, "dude! what weapon is that!?" or "whoa, how did you make that lightning appear? are you a jedi?" but then that gets old and you equip your LVA.
Was a really fun fight against her, took ages and ages. Not that any of my hits helped... 100% Kinetic AR3 :'(
