Lunge 2, Intimidate2, Warcry2..plus an extra 5 to speed. I think it's worth it.

Definitely worth it. You also get +5 melee defense and +5 ranged defense. I also like Berserk2.

M. Brawler is definately good, but you can get along fine without it. Pikeman has a KD, so you don't need M. Brawler for that like you do with Swordsman/Fencer. I personally like having Master Pike with Master Swords and enough sp to get Pharmacology and First Aid IV.

yeah you really dont need master brawler for pikeman if all you care about is kd. There is more than just lunge 2 with master brawler. So if you dont have it get it! Also you can kd with lunge 1 make sure they are dizzy and go for the kneeling state once they are then hit melee hit 3 or something and they usually fall, since they have high kd defense but bad defense vs posture change.

Hows this for a setup?
Master Pikeman/Master Brawler/Master Rileman/Nov medic.
Shouldn't that be a nice all-round template?

Speed is almost worth it alone, unless you have enough cash to buy the attachments to cap your speed.
THe warcry2 and intimidate2 are pretty huge as well. You figure you can half the damage someone is dealing you with intimidate 2 and you can stack it so it last a while. You wont notice it fighting thegurburs but against a protector? H3ll yea you will....can cut off about 300 points a hit that is HUGE.

That's assuming you don't get the protector that bypasses melee toughness and defenses, which has been happening a lot lately.
