Thread: My only 2 real problems I have with my Pikeman
I really only have 2 problems with my Pikeman as I see it now.. these are the only two things that are killin me to death.
1) Up our range just enough so that if we Autofollowed on a target we can still frigging hit him. Random NPC animals can do this why the heck cant we. There is absolutely no way for us to hit running PC targets. Even if you manually get really close to him by taking a inside turn or something, you are still out of range. There is just 0 chance to hit a moving target.(besides lunge)
This is a bigger issue to me then the dang KD timer. I PvP lots, I duel lots, and I love to hit things with my Pike lots. But well I can't. Early on I realized my supplemental combat skill would haveto be a ranged attack, so I chose pistols. So now basically when i engage I hit my /attack /follow macro. I hit a pistol macro that does a array of attacks and then when i close I pull out a pistol whip, and switch to my Pike and lay into them. Sounds like a master plan eh? And it works... once... once they see the big man with the big stick they don't stop moving again. They kite me til I choose either to put up my stick and pull out the pistol again, or I die. This is due to the fact that if a target is moving you CANNOT hit them. There is no range that you can hit them. This is sooooo very broke. And is and should be my #1 issue.
2) KD Timer, but well you all have talked about that enough. I agree that spamming kd shouldnt be allowed but our timer should be reduced a percentage.. maybe down to 15 seconds or something.
I am not gonna quit over this junk, but dern it I hope they fix it really really quick. I don't understand why my #1 issue isnt brought up hardly ever.. It just seems like it is a HUGE issue. I love bein a dern Pikeman!
Heck, its not like the devs aren't patching 8 million things per day. It'll happen eventually. I still love being a pikeman, I think it looks cool and dashing. Landing a 1000+ damage polearmhit2 always makes my day.
