I never die or even come close to it. I have been killing reds on dantooine from brawler xxx3.



Use the first spin (brawler xxx3) attack all the time, is the best DPS and hits everything around you, (Until +80 speed anyway)



I have played for about 1 and 1/2 weeks and got my pikeman up to 3x22, I play about 2 or 3 hours most days max (one doc buff).



Keep you money (except for a good weapon) untill brawler xxx3, then get doc buff 11k and mind buff 6k for 23 drinks and go kill quakers for 5k a quest on dantooine (got to mining outpost, dancing there) once you get to brawler xx3. You just need some good armour, I found some 60% for 6k. I just use body legs and head, you don’t need anything else with buffs. And ask for a `solo group` (just a group that gets you extra exp, everyone goes there own way) at dantooine. (and a car thing helps, 6k everywhere)



Maybe I should not get the buffs. But if everyone did that, what would the point of Doc’s be.



This game needs some help or I will be it may stop being fun very soon.

First hunting on dant killing quenkers isnt difficult to any class if you have any clue on how to play this game. Second You need boots chest helm and gloves to completely protected. Miss one of those and dmg comes through.


You want a challenge then leave dant. We all know that dant is there for money only. Go to Dath/Endor/Yavin.


Try finding something that will give youa challenege. Try soloing your way down the Geo Cave. Go take nightsisters. Go to The nightsister stronghold. If you are bored fighting nothing but quenkers or mokks on dant then either leave dant and find somehting that does interest you or find another game.


Now that thats out of the way as a Master Pikeman i find things all the time that gives me arun for my money in fighting. Perfect example. Geo Cave and get 2 enhanced Kwi's on you. I promise it will take more than a couple pieces of armor and a buff to survive.


I find things daily to fight that test my abilities to use every aspect that is given to me to survive.

Till pikeman 2 111 i only did real group missions on tatooine, the "famous" squill hunts, unbuffed and without armour.

Later on i started todo shamans/janta mission (buffed) and went very quick to dathomir for nightsisters and rancors,

which is rather difficultfor alow level pikeman. I died alot, sometimes after 10 min. on dathomir i was already at the cloning facility.


Of course you can level much faster doing buffeddantooine missions and spam al your specials, but to me it is boring as hell, i play this game for fun, when i look at some ppl leveling it almost looks like their 2nd job.

I also took my swoopbike and went cruising on naboo and kill all the interesting animals i saw on the way. Compared to others i leveled slow, but at least i had fun doing it. As master pikeman i still like this profession very much and i hope they nerf the doc buffs soon, maybe we will see real groupmissions much more than nowadays.

I enjoy the Geo cave. I do admit i die often but it is a real test on how well you know your class by using weapons dots food buffs heals and when to run. Each fight is unique unto itself for you never really know if your going to make it. What makes even more fun is the insane respawn time. You have to judge your location and running ability for if one dies and it takes more than a few seconds to kill the second the first normally respawns.


This gives you infinite fun and exp fighting never ending mobs having to juggle everything. I will admit again i get sent to the cloner often the deeper i go but it sure is a challenge that i hear alot of people say that is missing from this game.


I would suggest it to anyone that truly want to practice the class and looking for a good time.

OK, I will have a go in the geo caves, should be fun.

It sounds like im only just starting to see things (good to know), maybe get migration 2 first.

I'm still having fun, but its a big game and trying to find out what to do next can be overwhelming.


Thanks, :-)

Im sorry i mistook your first post as a flame towards our class. I apologize for that. Since you seem to be interested in our class then according to what i see by this post then i shall oferr my help as i can.


First the Geo cave isnt for the faint of heart. I will say again even at master Pike i die often in there. So until master i would suggest grouping with a friend or 2 to learn your way around and what your capable of doing.


Second not knowing you class but anything under master and even at master that can give you a good run for your money and an enjoyable evening is nightsisters. Be advised unless you have the energy lance which is a quest items then you cannot hurt elders. Aggroing 3 or 4 protectors on you can get to be real fun at times.


Third most scoff at the idea but if you can get into a solo group and pull rancor missions then they can give you a very enjoyable evening and cash too. Rancors being social and for me they seem to hit harder can make the night fun.


Fourth thgere are several caves besides the geo cave which you can have fun and a challenge trying to solo. I believe( im at work and cant remember the name) that there is a force sensitive cave on dant that can be very fun to hunt in.


Armor as i stated ealier the minimal things you need is head chest feet and gloves. Be advised that if you leave off the other parts then some pieces will decay faster. Example if a hit that is designated for your arms and you are wearing gloves only. Then the gloves absorb the dmg and also decays from that hit. Remeber there are 3 diff types to arms. You have gloves bracers and what i call the shoulder pieces or upper arms( had a brain fart and cant remember the name).


Next if you havent already started i would suggest start examing every creature you fight until you learn them well. Nothing hurts worse than attacking a creature with a lva and learning after your almost dead that it has a higher resist than a va. This can lead to a real quick trip to the cloner.


I lvled 3 or 4 boxes off nightsisters alone. I enjoy hunting them alot and i quite often take a swordsman friend along to help take down elders.


I hope this helps and again i apologize for my misunderstanding of your post.
