Pikeman Archive

Well, I seem to be doing less damage in general when not using any specials. I'm a novice pikeman, and am seeing damage I've never seen before with my long vibroaxe when not using a manuever. Maybe I'm used to the zerk, but 140 damage on a weapon with 82-346 seems awfully low.

One specific issue... has anyone used polearm lunge 1 recently? I tried this out, and hit for 10, 6, 12 damage respectively (again with a long vibroaxe). The guide (which I dont recommend anyone purchase) doesn't indicate that this move reduces damage to nuthin...

Finally, aren't the vibro lance and the vibro axein the wrong place on the weaponsmith skill tree? I assumed that, although the damage per second on the vibro lance is 5-10% less than the long vibro axe, the difference between -50 range penalty (on the axe) and -30 range penalty (on the lance) made up for it. If not, I'm probably going to ditch this line... I'm way too sick and tired of missing blue creatures 6 times in a row with my axe.

Sorry to troll a bit at the end, thanks for any reply (esp regarding the vibro lance vs. vibro axe issue)

Polearm lunge 1, and all of the lunges have had really low damage since around the release. I would say that you got some good hits with the lunge to get 10 and 12, as I normally don't get that much with my long vibro axe.
