Terain negotion +25
I have this:
5.5 speed
LVA
+25 Defense vs Dizzy
+25 polearm accuracy
509 max damage sliced / unpupped
2) also is there a way to make it so i have a better chance of getting a damage slice. For example if i put a speed pup on a weapon to make it faster, will the slice most likley be damage?

Can't say about how well the pikes will do in PvP, but there's no way to "trick" the system into getting the slice you want. It's 100%, completely, utterly, astoundingly, and head-scratchingly random. The only sure-fire way to get a specific slice is to make the mistake of saying what slice you want out loud or in spatial, and you'll always get the opposite.

yeap, us pikemen are a bit gimped in the pvp department, with 80%-90% resists to all our damage types. and as a master smuggler, i can also tell ya that there is indeed no way to get a specific slice, unless infact you say you want one in spatial, you'll more than likely get the opposite.
but fear not! come time for the smuggler revamp, word has it that slicing will be similar to crafter's experimentation, you get so many points, you can put into either just 1 status, or mix it into both 
btw, getting on one knee and praying to the slicing gods will not please them to their standards, they will laugh at you, and then smite your weapon or armor with something in the teens. in order to satisfy the gods of the slice, you'll need to sacrifice a similar item.

I currently use a LVA with a spd of 3.8 and a max damage of 733 unpupped, got a speed slice on it. I find this works really well in combination with Health Poison DoTs. I haven't tested my 550 Max Damage LVA, or my 630 Max LVA. It should do ok though. Just remember to keep em stunned, intimidated, kd'd, dizzy. You should be fine then lmao.
