Forget what we SHOULD be, I'm going to kick some ass.

I bought a +10 Polearm speed SEA. At Stances 4 I have the speed of a master.

I'm buying more to get to +25. That's +100 speed total. Forget slow.

Already a simple evasion +4 mod in the speed SEA has me taking FAR less damage than I should be. I took on two scout troopers, unbuffed, no armor. Stimmed twice, mostly because of HAM costs. Total Beatdown. I counted eight hits on me total. In ten moves I got six no-damage countermoves, three misses, and one blocked strike. I'm 4/0/3/2

Darktroopers in melee range take awhile, but are no big deal. I feel like they stealth unnerfed my pikes to be the blocking, counteringweapons they SHOULD be.

Good thing I'm a master weaponsmith so I can AFFORD all this crud....

Some people TALK about becoming a cuisinart with legs. I'm DOING something about it.

Sad that a two million credit investment is needed to make this class ALMOST able to take on a TKM. But in RIS I bet I could fight a 4/x/x/x Jedi Initiate to a standstill and make a hell of a show.

Now to restock the vendor and see if I can scrunge up a 1k max nightsister LVA with disease and/or fire DoT....

good man, im trying to go the same route starting with my vibro lance.

i looted nightsister vibro blade units thad mod the accuracy up by 31, so i should have good accuracy. already have +5 speed in addition to whatever i have, and +6 evasion. a good idea would be to full outfit yourself in melee defense BE clothing, the difference may be noticeable.
