Hi,


I'll be truthful, I went into Pikeman because my Holo said so. However, in my defense, I always wanted a combat branch to master and I was waiting for a possible holo before I did it. Why? Because I am going for Droid Engineer.


Yes, so I am going for the two most broken professions in the game, and I intend to try and keep them. Why? Because I like droids and I also like using a pike...its cooler than a blaster or rifle.


So, as for advise



I have a pretty nice vibro axe I'm using right now, havent really tested it in battle, and when I have, I am getting so many misses more than my lance its not even funny. Need a better weapon, all the points of where I hit are ALL negative. If anyone from Sunrunner knows of good long vibro axe anywhere, pref. on tatooine, PLEASE let me know.



Also looking for armor. Hard to find really good ubese armor. I am tempted to get composite armor which has almost 50% on all resists, but not sure.


Have spice and drinks handy as well. Not sure which ones would be the best to have...I keep getting incapped and then DBed because I run out of mind or action, not because of health.


I am at brawler polearm 3, heading to 4, and the off to novice pikeman. I'm wondering what would the best things for me to hunt at the moment for me? Please remember that my character was originally an artisan. Yes, I did change the stats around so his health is maxed at 1000. What should I try and have the other skills set on for him?



Basically, I need help, need advise, since I really wish to want to try and keep on going with pikeman and eventually keep it once I master it.



Thank you

Its simple enough, don't use the LVA.


They are intended for more advanced users of the pointy stick. Hence, the -50 bonus to hit. Stick with something more in your range, until you fill up support. I'm currently a Piker 4-3-3-3 on Bloodfin, and I smoke enemies with an incredibly fast attack speed with about one miss in 5. My personal record was 16 strikes directly in a row.


The reason that you miss so much is because you aren't skilled enough. Switch to something else, likea basic Lance or something, until you become at least novice.

Hey dont do that without pointless posts like these we wouldnt have anything to talk about on this forum. I mean what else do we have to do but help the latest victims of SOEs cruel joke out so they can suffer with us equaly in all things including wasted points (sarcasm for those of you playing a wookiee).

Back in a few months, tired of waiting for the changes that should have been part of the game at launch.
