Pikeman Archive

So far my best consistent misses has been 7. Fought a blue con, missed seven times -not seven times in the battle, seven times in a row. Post your best misses (in a row).

I've never done more than 5 in a row. LOL, listen to me, "never done more than 5 in a row!" Haha.

I would say that if I could fix one thing, only ONE thing about my polearm, I would fix the lousy accuracy. I don't mind about the low defense so much (because I do Intimidate1, WarCry1, PolearmStun1 and if they all go through I don't need to worry about getting hit much) but the accuracy is just terrible.

I can't stress how much of a difference getting a better weapon can make.

My highest miss count has been 9 times strait. I find it hysterical, but not as much as I find it incredibly frustrating...and this is perpetuated by me working on EXPERT One hand and Two-hand and at 1m or 2m away I get -14 accuracy, however at Novice Pikeman/Guardsman I am consistantly at -50 nomatter the distance with my Long Vibro Lance.

The high SP costs also drive me nuts with this constant missing. Maybe I wouldn't mind thecost if I didn't miss so much when I use them.

Mine was 7 in a row on a Greater Desert Womp Rat.

3 on a gubber. I guess it's the fact that we CAN'T get a VL or a LVA on Starsider...

My new record is 5, in PvP, great timing eh?

My record is abou 7-9....I'm can't really remember. I've been considering changing professions......it's so freaking frustrating being a lower level pikeman (expert defense and intermediate support). I've tried all the weapons. I miss very rarely with my lance (27-241 dmg/4.4 spd) but I do absolute **edit** for damage. I do about the same amount of damage with my lance that my tka friend does....wait it's less than that....and he hits OVER 2 times faster than me. My vibro lance does a tiny bit more damage but it has **edit** for range mods....I can't freaking stand it. I'm staying on my vibroaxe (97-399 dmg/4.8 spd) cause at least I do some decent damage when I do hit. I just can't stand the fact that I miss so much. I am looking for a faster weapon, but for right now I'd just be happy to hit a little more often.

Think about it this way. Take a pikeman and a Tera Kasi....both only having defense 1 (knockdown). Now knockdown is critical to being able to take on high level mobs. The tka will most likely have a weapon with a 1.5-2.5 speed, 20-120 damage, and 10/10/10 mods. The pikeman with a long vibro axe will have something like this: 80-350 dmg, 4.5 speed, and -58/-58/-58 mods. Now take a second to look at the speed and mods. Forget the damage for a second. A tka with a 2.0 speed can hit like 3 times while the mob is knocked down. Not to mention the fact that they get arange bonus, so they actually hit more often. They can knockdown, hit, hit,knockdown,hit hit, etc....and NOT EVEN GET HIT BY THE MOB. Now a pikeman trying to do that with a long vibro axe is screwed. By the time that they knockdown the mob and are able to attack again, the mob will already be up and attacking again. So what's the point in knocking it down? Not to mention the fact that our ham get chewed alive by the ham costs and we miss 30%-50% of the time anyways. Does this seem fair to anyone else? Or am I just being a little off the wall here?

/rant off

Only 3 but vibro lances/long axes only just became available on Kauri & now I have both =) .

I probably hold the galaxy wide record for most failed consecutive beserks in a row though its 9 **edit** thing almost killed me before the fight even started, now I can just drink a tatooine sunburn & laugh it off.

i am on Kauri and i would wet myself if i could get a Long Vibro Axe....

I have a Vibro lance....but it could be better......

get in touch wit me......we will hunt.

I am heading to talus to get my next pikeman skill and I intend to kill things there too.

So either get in touch with me.....post it here....or email me i don't care

i will pay hansomely for the info alone

mine would be 8 on a crazed durni baby

i stoped useing sweep after i got to master brawler because i can warcry2 instead. great thing about warcry2 is that it lasts as long as a berserk1 and only has atime mod of 1 instead of sweeps longer delay.all i do is i go up to a mob and intimidate2 > warcry2 > and then berserk1, then repeat warcry2 and berserk until dead. with this stragety i can solo savage humbabas for 3.2k xp back to back and only have to stop when my mind gets a bit low.

i also findit helps hugely to have the medic skills i do. with first aid 4 and a stim B's i buy off the bazzar i can heal myself byalmost 600on a good heal and about 375 on average. not bad considering it only costs 70 mind

i may change to useing sweep after i get support 2 and stances 2 so i can actualy hit a mob with sweep and have time to get some good shots in. after i get support 2 i may experiment with a LVA but if i miss with it then like i do now with my VL then i will just shelf it untill i get support 4.

Right on Lowbacca

Crazed Durni Babies are bad arse... I love it when they force me to kneeling. Bad Baby!

Yeah the missing is really bad. I stop doign speical movescause it will just end up helping the foe. I think my misses was 8 times in a row...might of been more but i died. I don't mind the high cost for special moves, I would just like to be able to hit. I stop using special moves when I'm in a group, since all I end up doing is swing my vibro axe arround in the air while the tuskenthat I'm aiming for laughs as I miss like some blind man and hurt myself in the process... wished we could at least be able to hit.
