I was thinking stance for the speed, but defense will give me a KD. what do you guys reccomend?

get your dirst box in defensive tree, then do the rest of stances in my opinion... but thats just me..



if you had asked this before kd nerf patch.. defense all the way then stances.

ok here is the way of a good pikeman.


first getpolearm support abilities 1- this uses combat xp so this tree will grow SLOWLY but action hit 1-2 are action bleed very deadly.


next pick up offensive 1- get leghit 2 which attacks action good for use after action bleed


next now work on stances 1-4 this is where you get your speed VERY iportant to us slow fighters


now combat xp is slowly going up so when you can pick up the other support abilities this is your accuracy and actionhit 2 which will help keep you from missing and let you bleed them for mega ham since you miss.


now work on the rest


sweep doesnt work worth a crap on creatures so dont bother RIGHT NOW, and area attacks are just good at getting you killed. and all the defense mutlipliers are broke so dont worry abou it now since by the time you get it, it should be fixed.


melee defense is the only defense ive seen worth its gold so far helps you tank alittle better




wait till I master all skillz, THEN NERF IT ALL so im the greatest. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAhahahahahhahahahaaaa..........

ya...defense first, mostly for sweep. The combat xp boxes a re sooo slow, but the bleed is handy, if you live long enough to see them bleed out.


Anyone know if multiple bleed shots make bleeds last longer or make them bleed more?

I have not tested this yet myself, but another master did and told me that our bleeds no longer stack, post-patch

With KD being messed up atm, I'd probably just put all polearm XP into stances first - speed will help you more than any skill. Obviously, spend your combat XP as you get it.


If you have a dizzy attack, getting the first level of defense would be worth it (dizzy + KD works on humanoid NPCs atm), otherwise save it for later.


As far as bleeds stacking, I haven't tested that since the 10/10 hotfix patch this morning.

Novice pikeman, surrender skill, type yes, click ok.



The attic was less to us from the cellar the bones like the attic let them have it let them stay in the attic. When they sometimes come down the stairs at night and stand perplexed behind the door and headboard of the bed brushing that chalky skull with chalky fingers with sounds like the dry rattling of a shutter. Thats what I sit up in the dark to say.
