My best friend (TKM) and I (pike) were talking about what the Devs need to change in the supposedly upcoming combat balance. He brought up an interesting idea. He reasons that since Pikes and TKs are basically opposites that PIkemen should have some sort of meditation line similar to that that TKs have already. I think it would be dumb, because my perception of the melee professions is:

TKs - Meditation/Speed/Accuracy
Fencer - Speed/Accuracy/Defense
Swordsman - Accuracy/Damage/Bleeds
Pikemen - Damge/Area/More Damage

Which brings me to my question: If for some strange reason the Devs gave Pikemen a meditation-esque skill, what would you all think?

"Tacked on"

Yeah... kinda weak. It is easy enough to dabble in TKA if you really want meditation.

it'd have to be different to the TKA meditation, with a decent advantage and disadvantage. If it's just a clone from tka then it wouldn't be that great.

id rather they fix our fighting skill in general, we should be getting better accuracy on our items and we also need at least a loot schematic besides the NS Energy Lance seeing as how its SOOO rare and hard to get.

i think all pikeman needs is better accuracy. sometimes it takes me 2 minutes to kill a lesser bol with a LVA which sucks

Don't use an LVA then...

You do realize that until you hit Support IV, the LVA is a horrible weapon, right? Go with the VL, or *gasp* basic lance!

I'm thinking it would be cool if pikeman meditation would be like a sentinel pose. Like, standing straight up with your pike parallel to your body, and motionless. Maybe instead of tk-like benefits it could have benefits like much-improved to-hit mods or defensive mods.

Yeah the sentinel pose with the to-hit mods would rock, great idea!

I'm unsure about this for two reasons, in essence you end up creating another TKA clone but with pikes, so in a way both professions lose their uniqueness. The other reason is you are more or less removing the need for medics, which is the bigger problem. If you ask for meditation for one melee, what's stopping the others from asking for it?

Personally I think it's a bad idea, cause you might as well get rid of all the medics then.
