It's been a long time since I've done pikeman but I'm in the process of regrinding. I'm at MTKA/MPikes then some swordsman and medic thrown in there. I'm still deciding on what my template will be, the FAQs are very helpful for that it's just a matter or personal preference now.
Anyway, I'm curious about speed and the broken mods.
Have the devs acknowledged that polearm damage even belongs in the game? I've heard it was taken out a long time ago but have never seen anything proving it was intended to be removed, so I'm left wondering if they are planning on fixing it. Is this a complete mystery still?
As far as speed goes, when will I hit the wall? Say I power up my NSEL with a speed powerup and the modded speed drops to .8 and the dps is about 800, will it actually reach those numbers or is it restricted by something invisible? I've been toying around with stuff and found that the action regen PUPs with some regen food is pretty sweet.
Sorry if this has been discussed ad naseum and I missed it. I've spent the last year playing Jedi and dealing with that forum, with Jedi so mindlessly simple it's weird trying to catch up on stuff like skill tapes and PUPs and stuff like that. I have to say this forum is quite refreshing as it seems to have people who actually care about playing the game and having fun with the profession.
Thanks...

afaik the pikes damage mod still doesnt work. the speed will go to at least +25, but the more speed you have the less effect it will have (cant remember the word for it "______ return")
