Pikeman Archive

Finalyl back as a Master Pikeman after being out of the profession for over ayear. I originally Mastered Pikeman Mid September of 2003. I was one of the first Master Pikeman on my server (back then I used to get tells asking me what kind of weapon that was I was holding).

I dropped Master Pikeman about 6 months later. I attempted to return a couple months after that as I found I missed being a Pikeman too much but by that time dot pikes had started cropping up by the truckload and you could see people everywhere running around with a polearm weapon of some sort. I had gotten back up to Pikeman 2/0/0/3 and decided I didn't want to be associated with the Pikeman profession as long as Dot pikes were the only reason alot of people were a Pikeman anymore.

I wanted to play a profession that other people played because it was fun. The specials were really cool and the sound effects when you landed a hit were pretty neat too. It was a profession I thought that should be played because it was fun, not because it had uber DOT's

Now with the CU coming along and DOT's being nerfed on weapon as a passive thing I can gladly say I am now a Master Pikeman again.

This board seems to be busier than it was when I was last a Pikeman for sure. I remember seeing maybe 2 posts a day on these forums.

Welcome Back!

And yea, things have picked up here in the past couple weeks with more information being available about the CU. People are either really excited or super pissed lol. I think it will take some of the staleness out of the game personally.

lol, I notice those good ole posts are still around. Currently on TC5 I'm Brawler 3/0/0/3 working my way up to see how it's going to be Post-CU (Haven't been on in a couple days though and I heard they did a wipe) . Definately can't wait till they open up the Elite professions for testing so I can see just how well we are going to be in crowd control and fighting in general.

I just hope they do the Pikeman profession justice,. Right now with mygoodLVA (918 pupped) I get rocked in PvP just because that 10dmg I do to that guy with the armor doesn't do me much good It works half decently though against Jedi, At only +87 Polearm Speed I'm capped on Hit3 and Areaattack2.

1star, hola from a fellow Valcyn-ite and master pikeman. I currently pair pikes with BH and hunt Jedi, that is great fun, but yah, against armored opponets it pretty much stinks. I am curious to see what the Curb brings as well for this ugly stepchild profession. It is the funnest one I have played and I have been in game since Fall 2003.
