Pikeman Archive

I'm pathetic. I suck. I'm sure of it. But I'm still happy with pikeman.

A spawn of Spineflap soldiers spawned between my house and my factory. I tried to kill em - but I end up taking down one of them, before I incap - they swarm me too quick, and take down too much damage. I tried doing SpinAttack but with a LVA it sucks my health HAM down too fast. With a VL it does more damage, but not enough to actually kill any of them.

So I go into my house and stack up in Armor. Forget special moves... I manage to kill one of them, and half of the second one before incapping. Hmm...

So. I know its not my LVA or VL - Put lots of effort into ensuring I get a custom made weapon that has good damage, range, and HAM costs...

I'd think someone with my skill could take down 6 of them without incapping once - and without armor... Am I wrong?

Any suggestions on ways to improve my battle tactics?

Yes you are wrong. Someone with your 2 boxes should NOT be able to kill 6 spineflap soldiers without armor/buff/spice/food.

Oh btw, most Pikemen I know go up the speed tree first, and then the knockdown tree, and leghit tree last.

I got incapped by two rock beetles when I was at 4022 I believe. I wonder how I'ld fare now, at 4443.

im bout to quit this game i love pike but its very dispointing that were the weakest class in game

yeah - most go up speed tree - but I'm zabrak - so I want to get my defenses first ... Only reason I took 'offensive' is because I accidently clicked on it instead of 'defensive' the fire time around LOL

Funny that Pikeman can't take down spineflaps since it looks like pikemen are designed to excel at attacking mulltiple targets at a time (looking at skills compared to other melees)

Hey man, snipeflys is nothing. I am 2142 and lost to an unarmed specialist. The another time just after I had two incaps but took out 3 Giant Pekos I was running back to moe and got a 3rd incap to a set of gnorts that randomly aggroed me. So dieing to gnorts.... No other Elite has yet to say that. Helps when you miss 4+, think it was 6 with the gnorts.

Hehe Thats not as bad as a 2,0,2,1 pikeman getting incapped by 2 NUNAS

maan that is horrible

I am Master Pikeman on Kettlemoore i found that if you have a few pets out in front of you the damage we can do is incredible, couple that with a few good stim heals from you or someone else and you can do the lvl 75 maruader missions on Endor.

Oh it helps to have a pretty good Vibro Axe with a 40% speed slice and a speed power up. My axe is 128-395 speed 2.1 with power up.
