Pikeman Archive

Why, oh why, is the title for Polearm Stances 4 "Master Cleaver?" Am I the only one to whom that doesn't make sense? Granted, we have an "axe" for one of our weapons, but this title would seem to make much more sense for Swordsman. After all, the LVA is really just a Halberd. The cutting edge is less important than the stabbing point (hence PIKE).

Or am I getting just a bit too nit-picky? (Maybe I should be careful--after all, for the longest time, the only real changes the Ranger profession got was title changes).

Our Titles suck. With the exception of Expert Pikeman, I won't take consider any other titles of use... Youarea clown with a staff when you are "Pike Weaver"...

Something like "Battlemaster" (TH) or "Avenger" (BH) would be good. But, as always, we'll never get some attention so this is just a dream.

I like Foot Soldier. Heavy Cleaver is terrible, though, I agree.

I like Foot Soldier myself. It's humble, in a sense, yet still conveys the fact that you've advanced far enough in a combat skill to be dangerous.

In PVP, I'll often use Apprentice Pikeman, as the sense conveyed by that title is: "**edit** near the sorriest, weakest, most pathetic thing out there--don't bother with killing unless nothing else remains alive."
