I'm Mastering Brawler right now and Pikeman is insanely hard. I blew through Two-Handed without any trouble. A little friction with One-Handed. Unarmed was brutal... And Pikeman is just really hard. I am up to the requirement where I need to get 15,000 Polearm XP and then I just don't see how I'm going to get that 70,000. Any tips? I have a basic lance right now that is 3.7 Speed, good damages, and I'm just at a loss at how to get the XP that I need to move on with. Any help? Please?



"Heros are stupid. Yes we have met. I've nearly killed you."

"You want me to move? Come on and move me."

Cheers!

kill things


no seriously, i love that pike is so tough, i personaly use a nice poison dot NS lance, AOE attack a large mob, then relie on my 60% ubeze doctor's buffs and 150 block (ya, im already a master rifleman, and it helps... sory)


doing this i am able to take out lots and lots of little TK jinda's, awesome xp, but hunt around, find something at your level, then Tank and AOE kill

kill quenkers on dant. you get about 3000xp for killing 1 if your grouped with a pet (but don't use pet). Missions are about 5k.

if the whatever the fellahs above me said don't work out, you might want to go Dathomir and kill chickens. They got no armor rating and every now and then you might get lucky with a bypassing sistah


I'd say about 22 000 creds and 44 000 expe each trip out.

yep. Definately go after Quenkers. You should be able to solo them without too much trouble if you've got some medic skills. This is how I've grinded through all of pikeman. Good ol quenkers and savage quenkers. I also have over 400k credits because of it. you'll get about 20-25k of xpper lair, not to mention 5-7kcredits


Enjoy!

i concur on the quenkers..get yourself some doc buffs and a nice set of ubese or composite(composite takes a lot more ham and is way more expensivve...but ubese works quite well as long as you get some with high resists...then get it sliced)once you hit novice pikeman go for savage quenkers on dantooine as well...they give about 4k xp in a group so you get 40k-50k per lair though they do spawn babies often...i am a master doc so it helps almost as much as the person(sorry i forgot your name)who was saying he was a master rifleman...either way pike is so much fun you won't want to drop it(if its a holo skill)if you fly into coronet there are usually tons of docs buffing people then you can hit up dantooine from there

I don't understand how any of you think that it's possible to kill Quenkers with 3 ranks in polearms in the Brawler profession. That's just... lazy I guess.


My biggest and best suggestion is to group. Every time I play, I get sucky XP and struggle to stay alive when I solo. But even one more person in the group and I do 10x better. At your skill level you could get with about 4-5 others and take on moutain squalls on Tatooine, or desert eopies, or banthas. There's a wide range of banthas, from "bantha" to "bull bantha" and "feral bantha" you're going to find one that's right for most groups.


The best thing about grouping, for me, is that it's a lot more fun. That's important to me, because when I'm having fun I stop worrying about the skill gain and just relax and play the game. When you can forget about the system and immerse yourself in the environment and the situation, you're playing the game right.
