Pikeman Archive

I got moaned at (in jest) for looting a good LVA, and not being a pikeman.

I said I was aving it in case I did Pikeman...and I have

Dropped Swordsman today, now at 2,0,2,3 Pikeman just so I can use all my looted lances and LVA's

I always heard that pikeman was slow and gimped..seems fine t me so far, but I'll leave judgement til i make master later today or in next 3 days depending how much time I have

So far though I am enjoying it..So far Swordsman and Pikeman are the only melee classes I enjoyed doing

I'd love to have kept swordsman, but I refuse to drop smuggler, and not enough skillpoints to have pike and swords together that way

Haha one starred for a simple posting...nice one

you realise that 1 starring me actually doesn't bother me..

Wait..why am I posting if it doesn't bother me???

*cries*

oh yeah..was to let you know I don't care..yeah. That was it

Many pikemen are annoyed when Non-pikemen loot incredible weapons then decide to jump on the bandwagon so to speak. Good luck with pike!

I always intended to do pikeman someday anyway. Did tka (boring), did fencer (boring), Swordsman (fun...but i needed a change) now pikeman, which, so far is funky

Trying all melee profs (don't like ranged much, dunno why) til I find one I really like
Swords was good, pikeman is fun so far..so it'll be a toss up between the 2 once I master Pike.

I can't have both as I will never drop master smuggler

So far I am likeing pikeman more, even if peopel do say it sucks..I like it, and that's what counts for me.

So no, I'm not 'jumping on the bandwgon' merely doing what I wanted to do..wether I stay pikeman or not is debatable but i'll let you know

Dear Star Wars Galaxies Game Desginers,

There is a problem with polearm sweeps. When you use polearm sweep 1 you knock down the enemy but when you use another move there is no after image thing on the vibro weapons(that makes them cool). When you use polearm sweep 2 there is no after image at all and then you use the another move and theres no after image again. So i ask u to fix this problem ASAP.

Thank you

hehe actually i have yet to use the looted lva.,..I'm using a damnage sliced lva from zab tek, nr coroner, bria. for grinding. just one more lair..then master pike...1 more lair...*looks for victims*

I haven't noticed this problem, actually. I only notice it on sweep 2, the rest of the moves work just fine, even after a sweep 1.

Also, if you get a hold of a Nightsister lance, it leaves a very nice looking purple weapon streak on specials... it's quite sexy.

Last note... devs don't look at the Pikeman forum anymore, I don't think. Jeassa was nice enough to leave a sticky for us, but I don't think a dev has stopped by since Thunderheart was flamed like a July 4th bbq...

pikeman is cool but it's not without problems.

1. you need +100 accuracy before you can hit anything. I'm assuming you were able to train the combat xp boxes quickly from stored xp. It would have been a longer "journey" if you couldn't do that.

2. Our defensive mod (block) allows 50% dmg and that's by design. We have the lowest melee defenses and our defensive mod allows half of the dmg to get through. I've heard of pikemen going through entire suits of advanced composite in a day and a half simply because of block allowing so much raw dmg through.

3. Apparently the rumor mill says that without those looted pikes you are worthless in PvP

Welcome to being a pikeman!

Well I made Master last night woohhoo

Killed a suit of 80% inetic comp. armour in the process, and I need a new general use (ie non looted) LVA as I destroyed mine (well was down to 100 condition , repair = failed hehe)

Got a few speed mods, and i'm pretty good to go...I agree with the above poster..I think I need some accuracy mods yet as I still miss a lot

but hey , it looks cool!!!

Definately more fun than swordsman, I think I'll keep pikeman
