If you want to get in to PvP you will need to Buy or Loot Good DOT'ed Pike's and try and get a 800+dmg LVA, That's the only way you can be good in PvP..Or that's the way it is on Bloodfin atleast

Well, I'm currently 4,3,4,3 and I went up the speed branch first, then defensive, and then offensive, levelling the combat xp tree as I go. Personally, that has and is working well for me. 2 boxes to go

I went this same route. Go speed first then defense. Level your combat xp tree as you can and do offense last.
Once you get to 4/0/2/x, you should be able to tackle pikets or giant baz nitches to finish out everything else.
As for PvP, I don't particpate in it very much. So I have no advice on what to get for weapons or anyhting else.
As for PvE, pikeman can take on virtually anything and beat the snot out of it. I'm currently a Master Pikeman/Master Medic/2-0-4-0 Doctor. Tank on anything and heal states/damage as needed.

yeah well thanks for the tips I recently bought a ns lance with disease dot so i'm alright with that but the thing is where would i get a LVA with over 800 min well I guess i'll go hunting for a master weaponsmith and get a custom pike. one last thing how do you grind combat exp i heard using c11 gernades or something like that helps getcombat exp

Even then on Bloodfin a master pikeman with maxed speed and accuracy is just a meatshield and a harrasment.
