I want a dev to explain why we miss this much.

I'm not even using a LVA, I'm using a vibro lance.

Wow and i thought i was alone...tonight i finaly hung up my vibro lamce/axe and quit pikemen. I was tired of missing and dying/being incapped. it was fun to be able to keep animals and such off the riflemen but i can only take so many misses, made me feel useless.

ive missed up to 10 times before delivering a hit when combating worrts on tatooine, even fighting the weakest of enemys is like playing russan roulette.

I get my pike handed to my by Ikopi.... *cry* they where a one shot kill with HS2 and a rifle.. *mutter*

this is ri-goddamm-diculous.....commandos kill me in one....and some times with 100% wounds.....IF i succesfully dizzy and knock him down and he dosen't get luck and stand up right away anyway, i miss him while he is laying there like a retad with a broken back, 4,5,6 times...they even counter attack and dodge while on the ground.....my tka freaind counter attacked me and dodged me in a row and he dosen't heave the skills for either of those moves.....

not only can i not hit them when they are on the ground

but if i do it still takes 3-5 good hits on the same stat pool to kill them and by then they will be healed, back up and running, or will have stood up and got that 1 hit they needed to kill me.

bounty hunters too.

it is one thing to make a class inherently better than others. But to make them so easily attainable is just dumb and negligent.

How did you get your radar backround grey?

their is a little show terrain button that makes your radar either show the terrain or go all grey like that... i forget where it is, but its not too hard to find(im pretty sure its near the radar itself)

I usually fight Giant Baz Nitches on Dathomir, by using one of my pets to tank while I hit from behind tank. My average hit is 700 to 900, and the average HAM of a Baz Nitche is 9000. Using common sense, You would think I could kill one in 10-12 hits, right? HAH! It's taken me over 50 swings to kill one before. That's a WORSE then 40% hit ratio. That's just pathetic. I'msaving combat logs ATM and going to post them in the general discussion after I get enough to show how much we're ghimped now.

this is a good reason to have star-pokemon-wars. Melee, especially pikemen, need pets to take some shots cause we miss so much. The other day i was out taming babies (and hence didnt have any of my pets out). I got killed by a rock bettle.. twice beforeI killed it. I'm 2/2/2/2 in pike with a -55 range mods LVA They con light blue. uh.. ok. I can kill reds with enough tactics and patience If i use a pet, butI can't kill light blues whenI don't use a pet?

Even with advanced support (+20 accuracy, for a total of +80 now) I miss maybe 50% of the time instead of 55-60% of the time.

not only that, HAM costs are such that if you miss it is like your polearm bounced off of them and wacked you in the nutts....or what have you......

That's why I am getting rid of Pikeman and going BH or Commando.
