Pikeman Archive

I had this grand idea in my head of a great pikeman warrior. I had planned out exactly what skills I was going to pick up to stack up on all the skill mods that we have. My character looks nothing like that. In fact, the only similarity between that character and mine is the fact that both have pikeman skills.

I never intended to be a master medic; now I'm a novice doc

I never had any intention of becoming a ch; I'm half-way up the ch tree now.

I wanted only 4040 medic skills, and possibly 3000 scout skills (and those would be the first to go if ever I needed more skill points) and now I am a novice doctor and I have 1213 ch skills (which I never really wanted). I wanted to be a master pikeman, perhaps dabble in the countersniping branch of rifleman for the added block skill mod and go master brawler (and if any skill points were left, perhaps dabble in some other professions). Well, block didn't work, with the 30 sec delay timer I just kind of forgot master brawler and before I knew it, all my skill points were locked up in ch and doctor. I may keep creature training 2 (I believe that is the skill the devs mentioned you need in order to use creature mounts) until player vehicles come out to the live servers (assuming that vehicles and creature mounts don't come out in the same patch) and I do want to bring my medic skills down to 4040 if the necessity for higher medic skills goes down. I still have that dream of creating my perfect pikeman warrior but with how it is on the live servers right now, I just can't see that happening. Does the latest patch on tc bring any hope for such a thing being achievable?

It will help. CoB and the additional block and melee/ranged defenses will go a long way to making us a better class. Problem is I don't think that the CH/Doc/Elite profession combat classes will dissapear, which will still give those guys an advantage in pvp/pve.

Only way to take the ch out of the picture is to nerf it down by giving creatures/pets the same 75% reduction in damage for pvp. Of course, mention anything even close to a nerf and CH jump all over you. My 2nd account is going for smuggler/pistoleer/ch/medic, and so far as a 2-2-0-0 CH, I know for sure that the class is overpowered.

Doctor buffs are a huge addition in battle. I feel that if you know a doc thats on a lot and has buffs readily availible, then you shouldn't need doc skills, but if you're the only doc you can rely on, it's too much of a bonus to give up.

pets do get the 75% pvp damage reduction...

If they did.....AT-STs wouldn't hit me for 1100 in pve and 1100 in pvp

Well, the thing is (for me anyways), pets only provide giving extra damage to the creature. The creature still wants to attack me all the time, though, so my pets don't tank for me (I tank for them). But I don't want my ch skills. I want to dabble in tka, swordsman, and possibly fencer for some more skill mods (if they are worth it) and make my guy a supreme warrior instead of someone who must rely on pets.

Hey! LOL, this is so weird haha every Pikeman i have met is a medic/doctor and ch... I mean ALL i ever met. Even me...

Even tho i find pikeman SO good sometimes, man it looks so goodwhen i succeed in doing a sweep, one action shot then just keep hiting their action... It goes fast!

But man, how much doesnt i hate whenI run forward, start fighting and miss, miss, miss andmy health is going down fast andyup again; im incaped andim slained. Argh, dont i have no pride?!!

The most bad thing about this is even tho im a ch and have two pet attacking, when i get closethey still agroing ME... So yes,my pets kill theenemies but what good do that do me when im still laying there dead?

Nina on Lowca

yay go HAM go Accuracy go 4m Range

i love being a pikeman but i wish the devs loved us lol

we are the chefs and droid engineers for the melee world

Faction pets have different restrictions then ch pets, that should be obvious.
