Pikeman Archive

Pikeman can essentially deal more damage. Swordsman can also deal out more moves with effects. It is a throw up I think but pikeman would be cool to do

Pikeman = uber PVP.

just go camp the NS camp for about a month and get all the -1 uses DOT weapons.

How about both.

My MSwords, MPike, MBrawler + TK works beautifully as a PVE template. It can work PvP wise but you have to know what you're doing for sure.

Healing is not an issue since I keep the health crystal tucked away for the sticky situations.

I was working up Master swords at first but I switch to Master pikes because of the area attacks, I have three guildies that go hunting and tank for groups all the time. we 'Spinn" the nest and get Godly amounts of xp, really fast. I max out pike in about 40 min every time. As for weapons I have a VL that does 1050 max DMG. I put adk in it and had smuggler slice it. Add that with the SAC reduction power up and it is fantastic. There are several quest pikes that are good. but most top out DMG between 800-1000. The pluses are the defense and the AoE attacks.

From the instant I log in I get tells from people asking me to tank groupsor pvp with em. I wouldn't trade Master Pike for the world.

Vibro lances have no cert, just need to be CL 54 or greater

I'd add a bit of swordsman, at least. I love Master Pikes, wouldn't trade it for any other master cert, but I also love having Adv Armor Break and Improved Crit That's just me, though...

i aggree with this post, you get Swordsman most damaging specials (Head/Cit/ArmorBreak) to go along with Impale/Intimidate/warcry/Sweep Attack(area KD) and get heals and buffs, and i would also recommend going brawler1444, which gives you the +250def CoB , which rounds out the build quite nicely
