Pikeman Archive

Nothing going on here at work, so naturally I began to think about SWG and my toon.. I just hit Master Pikeman yesterday and I swear if I never see another huurton huntress it will be too soon.

Anyway, after I got the title, I began to experiment with some macros for PvP. My template is not yet complete, so I haven't gotten in to much PvP. I learned something about dueling though. I will never extend a challenge to someone, I will always make them challenge me first (What can I say, my first duel was yesterday!) The guy I was practicing with was a TKA/fencer hybrid (non master). He had a nasty macro set up so that when he accepted the duel he would automatically Dizzy / KD. It didn't take melong to figure out what he was doing so...

The first macro I made was /duel;/polearmsweep1;/polearmspinattack2;/polearmarea2;/ploearmhit3

I made him challenge me & rolled up on him with my damage sliced basic lance. I hit my macro and before you knew it he was flopping like a fish on the ground. The macro was consistently successful in getting him knocked down and dizzy. Not 100% mind you, butpretty close to 90% for the KD and Dizzy sticking.I chose the basic lance because of the accuracy modifiers. My basic lance has a pretty good max damage on it too, so why not?

What are some other good Pikeman PvP macros that you guys & gals are using? I know the KD / Warcry (1 or 2) is popular.

Also, I have read some posts about the LVA and VL being just too heavy for PvP (HAM Costs / accuracy). Anyone try some of the forgotten weapons like the Metal Staff, Combat Staff? Basic lance seems like a very good compromise, barring the whole damage mitigation thing..

Whadda ya think?

Oh yeah, one more thing.. Polearm Hit 3 is FAN-TASTIC!
