Pikeman Archive

I'm a Novice Pikeman 0-1-0-0. Pretty soon I'll be able to train in either Stances, or Defenses. Wondering which one I should take - I've read a lot of the posts on the forum, but not sure which ones are accurate since they have made changes in the recent patches...

Defensive: Sweep.

Stances: Speed.

As far as I heard sweep has been nerfed so you need to dizzy them first in order for them to stay down. The Defense Vs. looks really attractive to mesince I'm a Zabrak and get additional defense vs bonuses.

Thoughts?

I typically duel other melee friends, and of course go against mobs.
