I was reviewing Gunman's thread on proposed changes to Pikeman and toward the end of the thread he mentioned that we need something to make us "stand out" from other profs.
I agree with all the proposed changes and I agree that we (along with every other combat profession) need a unique ability or purpose in combat.
It has been mentioned before in many different forums/threads. However I believe it's worth mentioning again. I think the ability to use our pikes (including specials) while on a mount would be a nice unique ability. Although I think it should be limited to mounts, not mounts and vehicles...thus givingmounts another purpose in the game.
This special would give pikemen the ability to chase down oppenentsor close the gap in outdoor enviroments. Pikemen would be the hardest hitting melee prof with the ability of rapid deployment. The other side of the coin however, is we wouldn't be able to use this ability indoors, thus balancing the special ability.
This could be just the ability to use our current specials while mounted...or change one set of our existing specials (ie. spin attack/area attack, which are currently very similar) to be mounted specials.
Just my 2 credits.

I always had a thought that pikemen could be this game's version of cavalry. Call me strange, but I think it would be really nice to be able to "joust" an opponent while mounted or driving, just like they used to do back in the day. The move could even have the stun/kd/dizzy effect (maybe not all 3, but 2 out of 3 would be useful).
Also had a thought about the profession being able to "trip" burst running or force running opponents, breaking the run and applying a stun effect and a knockdown. Again, call me strange, but I think it could help out in PvP situations.
