Pikeman Archive

I am near master pikeman on the bria server, going Pikeman/Creature handler.

Any how let me get this started.

Being a 2 handed melee in this great game they call starwars is for the birds. Yes we handle ourselfs against creatures very nicely, but at some point alot of us will want to pvp. So i have decided to pvp a lil bit and see how things are. Wow was the devs sleeping . You guys give us 500 mind 600 mind and exspect us to survive in pvp? <crying from laughter> No seriously. I went to pvp, soon as i landed bam 1 shot for 1300 mind damage. cloned...went back, thought maybe it was a freak accident..BAM 1100 cloned again..thought **edit** this isnt cool at all. SO i went to duel a few people to get my pvp skilz up. So i challenge a novice marksmen dunno what all his skills where in his tree, but i do know he had Mind shot 2...BAM dead 1 shot again. POINT BLANK RANGE, btw im wearing best armor on our server atm...Padded. Ok ok, so i wont fight a Riffleuser...But then get challenged by a Riffleman...ahah o wow what a mistake...I got hit for like 2300 damage in 1 shot...didnt even have a chance for my beserk to go off. So once again devs /clap thanks for making the game real **edit**ty for some. Yes alot of people say, get better strategys, use your pets...blah blah blah..Your pets are really good when your lying there on the ground and they are drooling on you cause you just got 1 shotted for about 1100 mind damage.

Ok ok, i bounced back from all that bull crap aboved and challenged a Fencer...

Though i didint die as fast, i did die extremely quick. My weapon on bria is of a lance style weapon made by Grem, called the Grem Godlike Lance

20-226 damage speed is 4.3

which is the fastest and best damage on the server..prettysure.

Fencer weapon was

46-196

2.3 speed...

need we say more?

bleeding,dizzy,kneeling before my weapon even swings 1 time.

And once your on the ground its over. ask anyone who pvps. You can make someone kneel in 1 shot

and then pretty much kill em in 1 action shot. and when your weapon speed is cut inhalf by someone elses weapon speed how the hell do you have a chance ? I mean you guys really need to reconsider PVP in starwars. Its obserd. I really dont think you guys thought this through at all. Like maybe you rushed all this in to fill who ever made this game pockets full.

Armor

haha why have it ? As you can see now, most people dont even wear it , do to the NEGATIVES it gives, **edit** you cant even put on a full suite of armor most of the time without stat migrating, and if you stat migrate all you do is screw your self in pvp. SO once again devs i /clapp for your thinking in this matter. I rarely see any gun users wearing armor..I see all melee wearing armor and yet all it does is give the message your not healthy enuff to wear this when we clone and die and come back. Think maybe you can take alook at this crap? instead of putting in new things and new storylines, how about fixing the issues in front of you ? Lets not turn this out to be another DAoC game where they keep throwing stuff at you to take the main focus off your class and the problems that came up in the begining. Anyways im done, Flame away

Pikeman

Vantro

Was fighting things on Lok with a novice Teras Kasi tonight. Novice as in he only had the bottom Teras Kasi box. Pretty much equivalent to my Pikeman skills as I have only the defense box above novice. He was hitting for 300-500 every 1-1.5 seconds with the default basic attack. I was hitting for 100-500 (with the rare 700 or 1000, of course) every 5-6 seconds with polearm hit 2.


Koster is just as much a clueless baffoon now as he was when Origin hired him.

Kildonalis, it appears you failed to research your opponents, because it appears you got your ass handed to you in almost every confrontation. First off, when dueling ranged fighters, always have /follow targetname on them so you are always on their ass. Though at times, this is bugged, and you will get target out of range, even though you are right on top of them, so I usually don't duel Marksman at the moment, this being 1 reason. Second, the Marksman can be burst running, and still land their special moves while running backwards, so that again is why I usually don't duel them. Third, when going against a fencer, you should know they are going their first strike they are going to do is healthhit1 (or 2), and you must put everything you got into delivering the first strike, whether it be a lunge, sweep, anything, just don't let them get off the first shot! Fourth, if you only have 500-600 mind and expect to PvP, you must be intoxicated. Better boost that bad boy up to 900-950.

Tip when battling mobs: use /berserk at all times. I hit consistantly for 700-1100 every 2.5 seconds (but then again I have expert polearm stances - +45 speed)

I also have advanced polearm defense and soon will have advanced support (+20 more accuracy, w00t)

-Ovuca on Tarquinas

Endor hunting seems to have the best exp results.

FYI, I am also notice CH and Squad Leader.. I get about 4 - 9k SL exp per kill and about 600 CH exp per kill (soon will have management 3 and can have 2 pets; double the CH exp)
