Pikeman Archive

Let's face it, our weapon selection for Pikemen is scarce. Now I know they are planning to add more weapons for "all" melee classes but I just thought I'd throw out some possible suggestions for weapons to be added and see what you all think.

Double Bladed Vibro Staff:

Basically a long staff with a slightly curved blade on each end. Simple in design, deadly in combat. The focus of this weapon would be faster then the LVA but less damage and lower wounding capability. This would also make more sense in tune with our combat animations (which often use "both" sides of the weapon as striking points).

Double Bladed Vibro Scythe:

Long pole with scythe blade on each end facing opposite directions. Focus would be high dmg, low speed.

Vibro Pike or Vibro Spear:

Simply a long pole with some form of a spear head or pike head on the end. Focus being medium dmg, medium speed.

I'd like to see some double bladed/sided pole weapons added to our selection simply because the Pikemen combat styles are closer to how a staff is used rather then how polearms were fought with. It is my belief that the animations were derived from how double bladed sabers are used and not from how polearms were used. Which I'm totally fine with, I'd just like to see some weapons added that better support the "look" of our combat styles while adding to our variety in choice of weapons.
