Pikeman Archive

I have decided to make a master pikeman and would like some advice from you guys on what would be the best stats to have and best weapons to use as you advance in the profession. The area effect abilities this profession offers makes me get excited (but not that excited, sicko's, hehe) about the potential fun ahead! Also by posting your best "builds" we can assist new pikeman in their advancement of the profession. I appreciate any assistance on the topic. Thank you.

Soon to be Pikeman

Get Intermediate Defensive first for you can knock anything down and then hit it while you're down. Combo I used to do was polearmsweep1 polearmhit1 polearmhit1 and just repeat that til the enemy is dead (granted i was using a reinforced combat staff for this so my HAM didn't even really effect me til doing after 3-4 big game creatures). After getting Defensive Intermediate, then do all of Stances.

That is what I did and it appears to be working fabulously.

Cool, pikeman abilities sounds awesome. I was hoping we would have a knockdown ability like the Tk's do but I love how ours is area effect at higher level =) I appreciate any information, I'm very new to the melee type combat styles. Thank you for the strategy, knockdown sounds like it works like it looks like it works when I see other melee's using it, hehe.

Yup, our sweep is just like TKA's knockdown = ) It is very fun.
