*cough* First, work on your people skills.

Second, look at the thread "New to pikemen?" There are a bunch of tips in there.

oh and get buffed!

DING

Dantooine is a melee's BEST friend.

Decent high level mobs that give awesome xp.

It doesn't get any better.

I too got the Pikemen holo...

First off I pouted as this was going to be the worst thing ever to get...
here was my first thoughts...going from master pistoleer to novice brawler for PM

OMG !! did i just do 40 points of damage to that lair??
WOW!! i just got a whoping 200 xp for that.. whew.. for a second there i thought i did some damage!!!
(polearm 1) Woohoo now were getting some where!! reinforst combat staff lol now i'm doing 300 point to the lair lol....

(polarm 2) did i gain any skill?

(polarm 3) woo hoo i finaly get a sweet weapon..... OMG!!! 83 health ham!!!! LVA 120-375 4.0 unsliced
WTH is this??? -51 to hit? wow now if i can hit them ill accualy do damange.. 'polarm hit 1' heal polearm hit 1 heal.. repeat and rinse lol

now lets skip to where I am now...

Pikeman 0/0/1/2 Did this in one day from no brawler...

I'm a master Armorsmith that can make soem very nice armor.. all i wear is 80% kinetic 59% eff. and sliced for encum.

Full stat doc buffs, fishak surprise (+250 mind for 13 min can drink 2) muon gold . I now have over 2100 mind and then eat foods that buff my str. stam and foc ( cant remember name.
Equip my VL (does electricity damage)or lance with +15 to hit all all ranges so i hit every time (kinetic)with a speed slice and a mind/speed power up hit the squell cave ( there vulnarable to elec.) get them to swarm and do spin attacks and get like 3k+ ep each kill.. went to tuskin bunker. 3-5K xp each, drove around and killed every grizzled dewback/ ronto/ squeel/ and anything with over 2k ham.

I leveled to nov, then to 0/0/1/2 in one day from nothing doing this.. At this rate I feel i could master PM in about 1 mth.. well thats what im giveing me.. maybe sooner but that will be very save..

The key is doc buffs and wicked high kinetic armor. get them to swarm you, toss alot of fragmentation grenades to rack up combat xp (about an extra 50-100 combat each grenade) and keep spin attacks.

This i did all solo. we did go kimo hunting and dropped a giant dune with 2 TKA's and me and a rifleman/CM tossing poisons and bleeding I used my pistol skills to do some heavy bleeds and ran in and did KD/war cry to keep him on the ground for 10 sec, each TKA did the same as we rotated I Kd/WC next did KD/WC after he got up..all i can say is

PIKEMAN is such a cool looking class!!

I love the animations, i even after buffs wore off drove around finding some smaller stuff and i would KD/WC and pole arm 1 till they got up then did it again. never had to wear armor or heal my self 1 time and was getting like 1-2k xp in a few seconds

Another XP rack up is stand next to a lair of say rontos or hurrtons or pickets.. buffed and on foods and spice wearing wicked kinetic armor do swings (area) you keep spawning the lair and they swarm you, you just keep going and tossing a grenade or 2 from time to time to get an area damage and more combate xp.. Till the lair and a hord of dead bodys are dead at your feet and you just racked up over 30k xp I LOVE IT !!

Good luck to you all.. I hope this is my last class to master for jedi.. I dont want to drop it after i maser its quite fun, Oh ya I do have several Polarm skill attachments as weel, got a skill tape in a shirt. Polarm counter attack +11, in my helmet looks like this

Polarm damage +5/Polarm speed +3/Polarm accuracy + 6

gloves Polarm damage +1/Speed +1/Accuracy+ 4

chest defence vs dizzy+9/defence vs KD +4/ Polarm speed +2

so I sure hop they are working because I dueled a master TKA last night and won!! well i did use alot of pistol skill to, stacked a 600 tik bleed and did Kd/WC pole arm 2 and then watched as a TKM kited me lol got to love that lol

Well hope any tips I have found so far hells.. but full stat doc buffs for sure.. 80% kinetic comp or 73-76% kinetic ubese works great too and less ham and lots of speed power ups.. 32.8% mind/16% speed on mine, I got my lance to 145-327 2.0 speed with a speed slice and a power up and i hit every time with it +15 to hit at all ranges. my LVA is 186-502 4.0 speed with a 32% health 16% max damage power up but i miss alot with it so i love the lance and the VL since alot of stuff have vulnarabilitys to electricity.. you do more damage

Luck to all..
