Pikeman Archive

Pikeman will be one of the best proffessions in the game with the upcomming FS skills, for example adding the +12 melee speed and +12 melee accuracy makes almost every pikeman attack with a 4.0 speed pike attack at the 1 second speed cap, pretty cool eh. Now, add the +20 ranged deffence, and +20 melee deffence FS skills and you're off to a good start. Next you'll want to temploit a bit, screw getting any ranged attacks it's just not worth it, keep it all brawler, first master brawler, Intimidate 2 and warcry 2 are just too good to pass up. Next you'll want to load up on the deffence, I reccomend getting the precision tree and meditation tree from teras kasi to start with (the decent ranged and melee deffence is what you'll be wanting, plus power boost and FoW isn't something to sneeze at). Now you'll want some fencer, if you go 4/04/0 I believe you will max out your ranged/melee deffences, plus you'll have almost 100 deffence to states like blind/dizzy/stun/KD and 50 to intimidate I think... now I know what some of you may think, so what, anyone can do this same thing with any number of combo's, well sure, but centering it around pikeman is just damn cool. Also I think novice medic is possible in this template.

As a note, with this template I went toe to toe with jedi knights (as long as they weren't jedi deffence masters I always had a big chance). Completely unbuffed and unarmored I always gave them a run for their money (mainly because I was nearly impossible to hit, my own HAM costs are what always killed me, but with buffs I'd have owned)

All right, but apart from the sanitation droids, bionic limbs, hyper-drive, moisture vaporators, galactic order, abolisment of slavery, star charts, the compact and efficient central government and interplanetary free trade, what has the Empire ever done?"
