Pikeman Archive

I play with buffs almost all the time, so I'm trying to decide whether to go with defense or offensive trees first (already filled up my speed tree).

If block got fixed, then I'll go defense for sure. If not, I may go offense for leg hit 3 (hoping it'll be a powerful move).

I doubt anyone will read this soon, but if they do, please lemme know!

Go defense man. Increase your ability to tank before you increase the ability to dish out damage.

Block did not get fixed (if it is indeed broken), so theres no real reason to go for defense.

I say go offense so you can kill things faster with action focused attacks

Block is working as intended I believe.

Funnily enough, I blocked a Sniper Shot while incapped last night, but it still DB'd me.

yea block is working as intended, i talked to TH about it at the last live chat deal, so i guess we just got the short end of the stick, ironically we carry the biggest stick

Hey thx for the reply to my other thread on blocking psyk. So it lets damage through... that explains why I am taking dmg on some of my counter attacks. I got force debilitated twice though it said I countered, those were blocks. Man that stinks.

I don't beleive it's working as intended.

As a Pikeman of four months and a Master Pikeman of two months, I have never seenmy character block, ever. I also do not believe we are supposed to take damage when we see a counter-attack message.

These are some of the things that need to be looked at so I keep pushing them at the devs.

well TH said that it has something to do with calculations here is the statement:

General_D: I wonder if block is supposed to allow damage
General_D: where dodge and ca dont
TH: It depends on how the block and the attack stack up

so apperantly it is working as intended, unfortunate but yea, hopefully itd be changed soon
