Well i use Ubese Bando with +6 accuracy +4 evasion and +2 damage 4 pikeman and i kno damage isnt workin! But is the evasion workin and what would it work like?
Im M Pike/M Swords and i cannot decide or to take 4000 Fencer or 0004 TKA. When i calculated fencer had higher ranged and melee defense bonuses, but i dunno what other bonuses are from TKA?

0004 TK only gives you ranged and melee defenses, so you'll be better of taking the fencer tree the difference is huge.

take the TKM 0004 not fencer 4000
1. because it is combat xp and thats pretty easy to come by with master pike.
2. it has more ranged and melee defense plus acuity which will increase ur chance to block when u arent COBing

Sorry but acuity doesn't change a thing about block while COB'ing, it give TK's a random chance to block/dodge or counterattack nothing more. It doesn't help pikemen.

Correct. Defense acuity has no effect while wielding a polearm weapon. Defense acuity only works while fightung unarmed just like block only works with polearms and rifles, counterattack with carbines and 2h weapons, and dodge with 1h weaponsand pistols.
I think there is a lot of confusion with players thinking stacking block/dodge/counterattack benefits your ability to dodge, block, or counterattack while unarmed, or vise versa where defense acuity benefits your ability to block with a polearm or rifle, dodge with a pistol or 1h weapon, or counterattack with a carbine or 2h weapon.

YOu'll get a lot more melee/ranged defense by going 4000 in fencer than 0004 in TKA. The big difference is in ranged defense. But like a previous poster said, the TKA tree would be A LOT easier to get.
