Pikeman Archive

I recently got tired of healing people, and decided I'm more of a brawler type person. I want to go pikeman, not because a holocron told me to, but because there is a purpose.

Currently I'm just a brawler at 4001. I intend to also be a master brawler. So what is the best place, weapon, etc. to get up to novice pikeman?

Thanks.

Soon to be Pikeman

I forgot to mention-I dont like macros.

I couldn't really tell you a great place to start except for easy stuff that wont kill you. However, you should get a basic polarm weapon and slice it for speed. Speed will be your biggest friend in the pikeman world and I sudgest you go up that tree (far left) first. Once you can use a long vibro axe, be careful about when you use it because the HAM cost on it is ridiculously high.

for polearms (or any other beginning melee) one and 2, if you can do it fast even polearms 3, just kill teh small junk outside of a town really fast (i got 1-3 in about an hour and a half like this still not too good but, meh, best place is mos espa imo) anyways, after u get polearms 2 get a basic lance (i got one with 270 max damage, 3.6 speed damage sliced up to 344 usin it as master pikeman) with this u can use this forever, positive range modifiers and low ham costs. for 4, i suggest killing something like womp rats, they are not too incredibly hard if u get some ubese or somethin, also scyks are good for xp but a bit harder cuz of group aggro. gl

oh yes and for novice i just did scyks and mutant womps, not very fast but it got me there.
