Thread: Knucks or Pole?
Recipe for an excellent polearm (if money is of little concern and you have an ADK)
Im a TKM/Pike as well. Personally, I use the TKM purely for defence, and the pike purely for offence. If you have an ADK and creds are free flowing, I would have a high end weaponsmith custom make you a Vibro Lance with a resource looted enhancer (not sure what they are for melee, acklay bones maybe... I know kryat tissues work on ranged weapons)
Anyways have it made so that the dmg is close to capped, then get it sliced. One good all round slice is: Speed lvl 1, Damage lvl 3 (will need an illegal core booster), Crit Hit lvl 1. If you're close to capping dmg, increase speed or critical hit and dont slice for damage.
Now that you have a high dmg, reasonably fast pike, add your ADK, then stock up on low SAC pups and always keep one on the pike. I like -23% SAC/-11 acc, as I still hit very often.
Voila, an excellent pike that deals high damage, more critical hits, and your action bar is almost never a concern anymore.
