I am a novice pikeman that is 1-1-2-1. I almost have enough xp for the next skill lvl. I was wondering if I should get area attack 1 (1-2-2-1) Or if i should get the +15 speed (2-1-2-1)
Also any tips or tricks as to wear I should be to gain a healthy amount of xp

Yes, finish speed first.
Go 4-1-1-x, then 4-1-4-x.
I wouldlevel at the Squill Caves, with some Ubese and buffs, and use spinattack1.

/disagree , go 4.4.x.x. the area attacks are awesome.....will help you level faster..... also spin attacks are WEAKER DPS than area 1-2 area 1 is better than spin 2....and area 2 looks so badass...............................

Not correct.
Polearmarea1 has 1.8xdelay, 1.5xdmg
Polearmarea2 has 2.5xdelay, 2.5xdmg
Spinattack1 has 1.5xdelay, 2.5xdmg.
Spinattack2 has 2.5xdelay, 3.0x.dmg
Best DPS will be spinattack1. I would pick Sweep2 before area2, and use spinattack1.

So many bad numbers floating around. These are the correct ones.
Spin1 does remain the best DPS, but both area attacks are indeed better than spin2 (and sweep2).
I'd still go 404x first, while using stun2 as a primary area attack and spin2 for those cases where you need to dizzy. There's nothing in the offensive techniques branch that really surpasses that, and there's plenty to benefit from in the defensive branch.
damage delay dmg/delay
area1 2.0 2.2 0.91
area2 2.75 3.0 0.92
spin1 1.5 1.5 1.0
spin2 2.5 3.0 0.83
stun2 2.0 2.0 1.0
sweep2 2.5 3.0 0.83

definately go up speed tree first then defense. the offense tree aint really all that great in my opinon.
