I know this has been talked about before but i couldn't find it. What are the best attacks to stick states? Pike has 4 attacks that stun, 2 that dizzy, 1 that postures down, 2 that kd. Which is the best attack to stick each state?

I have not read any conclusive arguements for what you're looking for, but anecdotally polearm area 2 seems to land dizzy more often than the spin attack and it also can land stun, so that's what I end up using. Plus it's got a wicked cool animation. I also use this instead of stun2. Hope that helps!

Personally, that's one of the areas I'd like to see improved with this profession. All in all I find that it's VERY hard to stick a state on a higher level creature. I don't mind the idea of it getting progressively harder based on the defenses of opponent, but it seems like those you can easily apply a dizzy, stun, blind, or knockdown too are the ones you really don't need to because you can one hit kill'em anyway.
It's a progression thing, I guess, that seems wrong. It goes from very easy to impossible (aka not worth even trying) with nothing in the middle.
