Pikeman Archive

Hi

I would like to construct a community wishlist for our class. These would not be issues in our top 5, but new abilities/skills/etc that could be given to us to enhance the class. We probably won't see results on this for a while, but I feel that since a lot of profession fixes will be pushed out in the comming months, that we should not only present the regular issues, but a wishlist as well.

Please don't include anything currently in our profession. (IE, HAM, toughness, Accuracy, etc)

This is a list for things like:Area Bleed, Mounted Combat, New weapons (list out your favrites!), and the like.

After a while I'll collect the suggestions and we can vote on which one is the best. I'll send that one to TH for evaluation and ask that it be included in a future update.

So, suggest away

Ok, you asked for a wish, and heres mine =p..... A seondary buff for mind that we could tuck right into one of the trees similar to TKAs pb.

Then again, Im a master doctor >

Wishlist? I guess mine would be twofold. First, eventually mounted combat. Second, a complete rebalance of melee. I described it here:

I want what we have to work.

fix regular combat before thinking about mounted combat*

remember Pistoleers who asked for "twirly graphics" and dual pistols, them asking for this gave the rest of the community the opinion their profession was the least broken [which it is]

an area bleed would be useless in a duel just like every other special we have.

Pikeman definitely need some sort of "cool" factor to distinguish them though..

How about just plain more damage to our area attacks. I mean area hit and spin attack just don't do much damage. How about another move added at master like ph3 for area that actually deals out some big numbers.

Oh yeah and some new weapons would be sweet (a dual ended lva maybe or something like that but one that actually hits the target)

IMO EVERY elite class needs some new weapons. As I see it, it is retarded to have the skill boxes before the elite class get all the weapons, and only get one weapon after getting the elite class. Most of the elite weapons are broken. My carbineer on Ahazi doesn't even use an elite carbine. My guy on corbantis probably will use the LVA instead of a VL.

I'd also like to see more than just generic names for our moves. I find it kind of odd I can use shots that actually have names, then switch over the my corbantis character, and use something called polerarmhit1. For heavens sake....even the lowest of ranged moves aren't that generic.

Lastly, I'd like some more accuracy mods, or have the accuracy mods on the weapons fixed. It also doesn't make any sense that I can get hit by a crazed durni at 15 meters, while I only have 5 meters for my range on a LONG (emphasis on the LONG) Vibro Axe, or a lance. I am pretty sure that whatever a crazed durni uses for a weapon, it isn't longer than a LVA. And I think that when using such a weapon as a LVA, nothing standing infront of me WOULDN'T be hit. Kind of hard to move out of the way from a weapon which pretty much covers the entire horizontal area infront of me.

Just my two bits.

Mounted combat...PLEASE NO. I just very anti-creature in this game so anyway...

The two possible pikeman-unique specials I've thought about for a while are:

1. area bleed
2. a move to keep a target or group of targets (even better) at range, something like a push-back move

Also, of course, new weapons like the ever-discussed force pike. And, hehe, the Imperial Royal Guard red uniforms while we're at it. (right)

I am in complely argee with antares..I have been pushin for a "stick" move for a while now. After our weapon mods get fixed this would be great. And Area bleed sounds sweet also.

Recap time:

1. Push back, and stick move

2. Area Bleed
