I am on the Bria server. Pricing is easy for Vibro Knuckler's when I slice them. Speed sliced VK's are only good for people who haven't reached TKM since their speed gets over 100 at master. Master Fencer/Master Brawler has a speed of 95, so it's easy to price those. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a Master Pikeman/Master Brawler has a speed of 55. Even if someone were able to get +25 in pikeman speed skill tapes(which would be pretty tough), the max speed a pikeman could reach is 80. So my question to all of the pikeman, do you value a LVA or VL with a speed slice as much as a damage slice? I'm wondering how I should price power hammers also. A Master Swordsman/Master Brawler only has a speed of 80. It's still possible to reach the speed cap yet difficult. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So, is it rare to find someone who has +25 in skill speed tapes for both of these professions?

Not many will have +25 in tapes but even some low end tapes will cap you on crafted weapons , also people are getting the +12 FS melee speed now which has helped a lot.

it takes +20 in speed to cap most polearms w/o master brawler... only 15 with....also if you havn't figured it out, the best of the best pikeman weapons are all LOOTED ones. compared to crafted which maybe hits 450 max dmg on an lva with a very good slice, a looted one can range anywhere between 450 PRE-SLICE to 1200 max damage.... also theres been many looted ones with 1.0-2.3 speed.... of course with these nice stats comes a not-so-nice price.... so your market is going to be starting pikeman trying to grind out the pikeman proffesion... so probably a few well speed sliced vls and lva's just might sell.... however if i were you i'd stay away from the pikeman market and stick to your biggest money makers (t21, acklay anything, krayt anything) sorry for the dissapointment

When I was a MWS, the top-of-the-line materials I put in my personal LVA brought it to 483 max damage with a damage slice. (it can get better though, since I was only using the lightweight blade vibro units) Speed was around 4.6 on that thing, to give you an idea.
