Pikeman Archive

Ever since I became a pikeman, I've been wondering what our profession could use to make it not only better, but unique (besides the obvious accuracy increase, better range, and lower HAM costs). Then I remembered from tribal movies, such as Zulu, that the warriors trained with spears are also very skilled at throwing them. That got me thinking, "Why can't pikemen in SWG throw spears?" Not only would this make us unique in the melee professions, but it gives us a well needed perk.

Of coarse, I'm not going to throw my LVA at a voritor then run away. It would work exactly like grenades and traps work, not expecting to get the projectile back. Pikemen or artisans will have the ability to make those spear models we see with pikeman and brawler trainers, but only one at a time, specifically for throwing.

This skill would also give us a better offensive techniques tree. Learning it at the basic level, then improving our accuracy as we progress.

Tell me what you think.
