Pikeman Archive

Right now im:

4/4/4/4 TKM

4/4/4/4 Master Rifleman

and i want to know if its worth it to spend the rest of my skill pts in pikeman and if so which lines should i get, i have enough pts to do 3

if you really wana drop points into pikeman i would say 0040 then try to get pharm4 and maybe you have a doc on your server with med use 40 stim e's they come in handy

Idont think there's any point in having some pikeman - unless you want to up your block mod for when you using your rifle (you wont block with vk's equipped). Best bet for your template is to take fencer 0440 for kd/posture change/dizzy/intimidate defensive bonuses...

I used to have that template but now i'm working on rifle/pike master and some tk (prob 4404) or maybe going master brawler and having tk3000 - not sure i fancy losing force of will though...

well tkas combat acuity is counter attack dodge and block all in one so not sure if that may effect it but i didnt dodge with tka alot when i was master fencer /shrug

blah its late here i meant defensice acuity or however its spelled lol the crap from presicion striking lol

i'm pretty sure defense acuity is broke and always has been... i think TKA just works well enough over all for it not to get moaned about too much

Thanks for all the advice, ill keep checking back to see if anyone else has thoughts

Are you talking 3 trees or 3 boxes? Unless you have a bunch of looted gear to go along with your short comings in pike skills it's not going to be used much. Save for the block mods. If that be the case, just suppliment your block and call it a day. You will be slow, inaccurate, and won't have the staple pikeman specials. You don't shine till master, untill then and unless you have a bunch of tapes, you'll find yourself switching to your VK's to make the kill.

There comes a time in every mans life when 86 years is just too damn long...
