I really want pikman!!!!

what do you think??

?????/??????/??????

as of now, pikes desperately suck at tanking. Hence pike/doc pike/ch are the only ways to go.

The devs are very tight-lipped about the class changes in the next month(s). We don't know how much we'll fare.

I'm going for master pikeman and doctor 2/4/0/4 with scout 3/0/3/0. It's working well so far, I can usually heal myself before things get too nasty.

As has been said, our tanking abilities right now aren't that hot. You'll really need either decent medic skills or something else to tank for you.

I went the Pikeman/Doctor/Creature Handler route. All seem very necessary, to different degrees. I can now buff the crap out of myself, get a graul, and usually do alright. The fact that I NEED to do all this is kinda sad. One thing I would say tho, is to get sweep. Even tho its much attacked of late, it will still get you out of trouble if it lands. Bad guy(s) are wailing on you, sweep em, and run. If you have a tank or others are attacking, the bad guy usually switches.

Beware the area sweep with multiple targets tho. If there are lots around you but aren't attacking you, a group sweep usually ticks them off. One tusken...6 tuskens...clone.

Don't be so proud of this technological terror you've created. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

Medic is amust if you solo....but

I'm a Master Artisan/Master Weaponsmith/Aspiring Master Pikeman (0/0/1/0)/Novice Merchant/Novice medic (FA II and Diag II). Eventually I'll be surrendering some medic skills and perhaps dropping master artisan. I might take a little dip into the TKA tree for the deffense or meditation (and just surrender medic and let the 4 doctors in my PA take care of me).

I'm goin with Master Pikeman-Medic 2/0/4/0- Explore 4, rest in Pistoleer. If there is any points left they will go into more First Aid. I can usuallygeta Commando/Doctor friend to hunt with me so HAM is usually 2K+.

Medic isn't essential to a pikeman.....you can put whatever profession you would like together with a pikeman. However, if you are going to be playing tank for whatever you are fighting, then Medic will become essential to your continued existance. If you have creatures to tank for you, CH or faction pets, then you can pretty much do whatever else with Pikeman. I am a chef, CH, and pikeman....which works pretty well until SoE messes up chef buffs. Currently, I am working at adding TKA to the mix of skills and juggling with skill structure a bit. It is nice to have some quick attacks which add effects to your target. Dizzy has been an awesome addition for Pikeman with the TKA profession. Yes, I know we have an AoE attack with dizzy, but I never use it for obvious reasons. (Never lands, and hard to use in most situations). So mix and match....and experiment around. It is the one nice thing about SWG.

Thanks so much but also I am thinking Pike/ch/maybe a ranged profession (maybe have a friend doc or something)or med thanks again but whatranged professions do you think complement pikmen like maybe carbineer it does action damage too, so I want some help here to and you all say that Pikemen stink then Have I been in really bad professions or have I never stayed with on person so long? I kill most enemys I run in to in 1 hit or is it just that I stay to close to the ciy Bestine?

Yeah, that's what I'm doing too. Pike/ CH and a ranged profession. PIke for Tanking in PvE. CH for crowd control purposes and Rifle, atm... maybe Pistol I'm playing with Mindshot 2 still.
