Pikeman Archive

I'll be short and sweet: What weapon or weapons do pikemen prefer? I don't have any good friends who are pikemen, but I know they exist, and I don't want you guys to feel excluded because I have only knucklers, ryyks, and curved swords on my vendor

Lances, Vibro Lances, and Vibro Axes. and a shirt with a bullseye on the front for the marksman to take us down easier, and on the back it says living shield

it's funny couse it's true.

Alright, next question... would you consider these decent?

Long Vibro Axe 101-359/4.4, -53 across the board, 88/71/32 HAM

Vibro Lance 88-287/3.9, -31 across the board, 59/83/32 HAM

that axe is probably a 8/10 as far as i have seen....very decent and with a good slice very power full. You costomers should be pleased with what you have made.

my axe is like 131-470(30% damage slice)was like 100-368

4.4 speed

HAM is like 90/72/35

to hit is like -50/-50/-50

I understand you want more speed; thats why I sell action cost/ speed powerups and health cost/speed powerups... but in regards to the making of the weapon itself, thats simply not possible. When a weaponsmith experiments on damage, the min, max, and speed all improve, it is not feasible to focus on one aspect because they all go up in tandem. Slicing and powerups are where your differences come in.

Your weapons look comparable to the ones made by master weaponsmiths on my server. I'd buy one.

I don't know if its possible to tweak from the position of making the weapon, but I would lean more towards increasing the speed of the weapon and not the damage. This is due to the significantly reduced accuracy of these weapons. You really want to deliver more swings per minute because that equals out to more hits in a minute, relatively speaking... hehe... Although it would be nice to think that on the hits that we actually land we hit with force, in reality these hits are no different than if we were an accurate class and hitting mostly every round. In other words they can fall anywhere in the range of the weapon. So it seems better to deliver a greater number of average hits than a small number of average hits. BTW my long vibro axe is a 3.4 speed sliced... don't remember what it was before slicing and I still have something like 101-369 or so...

the only reason i go with damage instead of speed is i am all the way up the speed part of the tree....once you get that 1 second barrier there is little point to having a faster weapon...

but yes....for any one without the speed bonuses....speed would probably be thee wiser choice.

My favorite weapon? This one: http://www.outofbounds.nl/~wietse/public_files/Lance.jpg

I dont have it anymore sadly, it got destroyed when I tried to repair it

i got a nightsister lance that was really worthless.....any interesting things you could share that might lead to getting one like yours?

alos last night i got a vibro lance with Mind Poison that does like 71 damage to the mind each poison hit.....other than that it is a peice of crap....but interesting none the less.

also a Long Vibro Axe with a DOT to mind...but it only has a 3% chance of hitting...the lance has 57%

and is also crap otherwise....oh....it has +25 to counterattack too....and +20 to stun defense

My favorite weapon as a Pikeman?
