i have to agree with you there bu ti also use CH to take hits so its a little less BF on my part

SWG in a nutshell
SWG is like a big hill, you spend ages going up it and then find you cannot even go over the top

I must start off by saying that Pikeman is one of the most fun proffessions i have tried so far.

I love the special moves and the visual effects that comes with them.

But one thing is really annoying. I have never ever experienced a proffession that takes so much beating during a hunt. After an hour of active hunting i have battlefatigue around 400 - 500 and wounds on all stats around 100.

I guess that because of the lack of dodge and other defensive tricks, and the "block" that still gives you damage.

I can have fun for a while, but then im almost forced to leave my huntinggroup and seek out a cantina.

Im wearing a good composite, using intimidate and all of those neat tricks, but still i have to accept that my character is aBF-junkie.

Do you think this will change in the CU or will this proffession forever be thescreaming, powerful, pikeweaving, bf&wound absorbingdude that needs to spend more time in hospitals and cantinas then out on the battlefield?`

Another question,

If i combine it with another proffession that have a lot of dodge and such, will it benefit my character even when im weilding a pike, or do i have to have for example a sword in my hand for the dodgebonuses to work ?

We don't get the generic melee defense that other classes do so we get wounded much more.

well, i think that we need to be more damage dealing, i mean, swordsman has more defense than us, and most of them can kill large MOBs faster than us, if the weapons are equal............

i think this will be addressed in the CU , and we will have a more specific role in combat. . . the problem is we may get even more "monkeys" to come running to us for l33tness. . . . .

I dont think so, they plan to make every profession viable in combat, so i think we will see and "evening out" of the numbers of players in any given profession. Of course, this will increase the numbers of our fellow pikemen/women,because as of now we are in the minority,but we should not be upset over that fact. The truth is, if they are gonna make pikes more viable in combat, i would welcome the new guys.

Ive done pikes and carbines and liked both. The original ideaforthese 2 professions is a great one, but not well executed by the devs. They are fixing their mistake, and i hope to see an increase in carbines and pikes across the board.

eat pikatta pie. problem solved. when i go hunting on a full buff session tankin every ns possible only being pikeman/brawl/3020doc i get about a 270bf. or so.

Miss me? Find me on agamaggan server on WOW.. under the name sasse or thefrog GL everyone here on swg. but NGE Made me quit.

Honestly Pikes is great fun only if you are speed capped and have the right weapons first. I was Mswords/TKM before I got the FS melee speed branch. I killed NS for about 3 weeks hardcore, got about 10-15 nice damage lances (550 - 707). Without looted lances pikeman is the lowest damaging meele prof besides fencer imo. Our defences are soso, but our DOTs are nice. So yea our profession has some drawbacks, but overall I think that its good fun and quite effective in combat PvE and PvP. AP3 would sure be nice though
