I play a TKA Pikeman myself... Strange that people are keep going past the fact that TKA does, only do Kintic damage(oh for the love of god with the Razor VKdiscussion... Heat is almost as useless)... 80% Resist compsite, and everyone got the defenses they need..... Strange that TKA unlike the othher standard combat classes(Rilfeman, Pistoleer, Fencer, 2H Swordsman, Pikeman, carbineer) Does not have ANY kind of dodge, counterattack or block... Instead they get a little overrated skill called Power boost, and people are talking like it's a buff.. Very short effect, and always dry off in a duel(in my experience)
Your talking like the FoW skillalways works, with it's impressive 1 Hour timer:/
It all really sums up to that, if 2H swordsman can defend themselfs long enouge, noone is safe, their defenses is their only problem, and Fencer is the best tank thx to their best defensses and all their dodge, which makes them hard to hit... and Pikeman....
I think Pikeman needs allot of love, but not by nerfing other brawler classes like TKA.
It should be noted though that im not even novice Pikeman yet, so my experience with this class might change though... Last time i was a pike, was back at launch!

Well, there's a couple of things that you've forgotten as well. TKA's get much better toughness, which allows you to tank better because you take less damage. You also have enough speed to hit the cap easily. Only having kinetic damage is not that much of a limiting factor in PvP. Any damage type besides stun is in the exact same boat as you, so Pikemen with Kinetic and Electricity are not better off than a TKM. The only professions that get stun are riflemen, fencer, and pistoleer with a looted weapon.
I would hardly call Powerboost overrated either. I use it all of the time, it adds 550 to all pools, the most important being to the mind pool. That's a huge benefit, not to mention being able to heal wounds and poisons/disease.
FOW is not that great I'll give you that, it usually only saves me when a NS is slowly walking over to kill me, but it can be a surpriser in PvP as well.

Pistoleers get stun with a Regular weapon it just sucks-Tangle Pistol
