I'm currently 2/2/3/4 Pikeman...weapons were bought before the recent IMP crackdown patch, so their HAM costs are somewhere around 70s-80s for Health, and 50s-60s action (or vice-a-versa). Range mods are -31 for Vibro Lance, and -51 for Vibro Axe (all 3 ranges).
For the IMP Crackdown patch, the HAMs on certain pikeman weapons were supposed to have been modified (or at least the range modifiers) - I haven't bought any new ones yet, so cannot confirm this.
Yes, I was missing A LOT, until I got 4th tier in Accuracy tree (right-most), and then I found that I hit more often than missing - like other professions.
As you progress, and get more maneuvers, you get some AREA hits that can damage (or dizzy, or knockdown) MULTIPLE targets within the weapon's range. I've gotten a couple - and they are NICE! Especially when you go in to help friends, and run RIGHT IN BETWEEN a group of MOBs, and KD a bunch of em.
Long, road, but fun.

The HAM costs weren't changed, it was the accuracy on the LVAs and VLs.
