Here's the story. I have a friend thats a novice swordsman. We both the same experise level in our chosen profession. He has this katana type sword and has been hitting for 2-3k during battle, the HAM costs on this sword are next to nothing.

I figured this was his upperlevel weapons, and passed it off as needing a vibro lance or long vibro axe. BOY WAS I WRONG. Got one of each tonight. Biggest dump of money i have ever spent. The HAM costs are outrageous, I can barely use specials during a battle, let alone hit anything. I knew there were problems with them, but this is rediculous.

So here we are, Pikemen, the red headed step children of brawling. Our moves cost to much HAM, our weapons are hard to find due to bad resource shifts, our weapons dont hit worth crap, and we cant take damage well enough or BLOCK to give us a fighting chance during battle.

I see so many "hotfixes" for T21's and chefs and crap that really burns me. Here I have been just working my way up pikeman silently and now I get to a level where I think im ok and BAM, knocked back to reality. I can kill myself in a battle by using a special 4 times consecutively. 200+ drains off of my Health bar each special.

WORK ON YOUR STATS, BOY. Hmm, lets see mistakenly i figured i could choose a starting profession and switch my skill tree over later. Technically you can do this, but your stat migration only lets you migrate so far, so to ever think i could get my artisan starter stat migration to blend more towards brawler is just absurd. I should just scrap my character and start over.
