Just hit master brawler the other day, I am already master TK, and im working up novis polearms, swords, and fencing.


Leveling polearms is the worst part of brawler, and the worst novis ive ever had the displeasure to raise. Infact after leveling them all, i can say with out any doubt that there is some sort of ninja stealth or otherwise hidden penality vs acuracy. the constant miss ratio and the slowness of the weapon makes leveling this class more then a pain, its nerve wracking.


4.5 speed weapon that has a 450 max dmg output, and i hit unstyled for 700 tops every 4 seconds, 5 out of 10 are misses.


swords i use a 2.5 300 dmg sword, and i hit for 600 tops, miss 1 or 2 out of 10 at most


TK i never miss ever


fencing i swing around 1.8 hit tops for 450 miss 1 out of 10



but the pikemen class unbelievble the amount of misses i get, ive gotten 5 straight misses on a green con krevel. Ive also received the glorry of getting 10 straight misses on a yellow con desert eopie. That not only never happens with the other melee professions, ive never seen more then 5 misses other then the very first teir of brawler, were i sucked with everything.



Im curious if others are seeing the back side of the barn get the best of them aswell. perhaps wookeis are just natural prone to not do well with polearms /shrug

Welcome to pikeman.



I've missed 8, 9 times in a row. And not just on high level creatures. on light blue and all the easy critters too.

yea... Pikemen are pretty gimped as it is... the missing isn't quite as bad when you get the accuracy mod. Also we get miniscule bonuses per skill box as compared to the other elite brawler classes. Although, I think I'll stick with it for now, hopefully they fix us soon. That combat post gave me a small BIT of hope.
