Pikeman Archive

I have been TKM for over 6 months.. and I've gotten very bored with it, so I decided to try different melee professions. I tried fencer first, and found I didn't like it much, and went on to Pikeman.

First let me start with the things I don't like..

-Damage output per hit is similar to TKM, but 2 to 3 times as slow.

-Our damage types are the most commonly resisted damage in pvp.

-I feel I have taken a major step back in how effective I am in combat with the lower accuracy and damage output.

Now.. these negatives would have made me reconsider and pick TKM back up.. if pikes didn't look so incredibly cool!. I absolutely love the weapons, love the special move animations!

Every time I go into combat I am just loving it, despite the apparant lack of real damage output.

I am new at this profession though, and I am hoping to pick up tapes and better lances along the way.

This profession has the largest "coolness" factor out of any professions, it's incredible fun, and that's what it's all about after all.

I will totaly agree with u ... It has the highest coolness factor , but the lower efficiency factor when compared to all other 3 melee professions ...

P.S. In game mails after winning an auction are greatly appreciated ... Thx, TBo
P.S.2 Plz, oh plz when saying auction ends "then" put it in forums time. Much easier for everybody.

At least we have more damage types (Kinetic, Electric, Energy) avilable than TKA (Kinetic).

+200 or so Unarmed Damage makes up for it somewhat, but some choice is better than no choice, eh?

I was a Master Fencer before, and even though I am still lame in my pikeman progression, I have to agree that the cool factor is unequaled. I am having a blast with pikes. When I get to Master I will compare it to Fencer and see how I like it then. I'm guessing it's only going to get better.
