Thread: What is the best PvE Pikeman build?
The ultimate PVE build.
Here is my suggestion.
Master pikeman + 0-4-4-0 doc + 4-1-4-1 scout.
All 250 skill points spent, the ability to self buff and a well rounded set of scout skills. Good terrain nav mods, good maskscent mods, good creature knowledge and good harvesting rates and the ability to pretty much heal yourself of anything with the exception of disease and poison. Throw in some BE enhanced clothing for warcry/intimidate bonuses, some maskscent bonuses and some injury treatment bonuses and you are set.
Get a BE enhanced shirt with either a +14 warcry/initmidate or +5 melee defense/+ 14 stun defense. Get +14 to +17 warcry intimidation bandolier so you can wear it with armor and get maskscent/injury treatmentenhanced paramilitary pants to maximize your maskscent and bring your wound treatment up to master doc level.
That's what I would suggest. Unparalled combo of healing/soloing/hunting/fighting PVE power
If you do not go the doc route I suggest master pikeman + master brawler + master scout + 3-0-3-0.
Again a wide range of abilities and the ability to use experimented stim C's.
Remember you want the strongest PIKEMAN possible for PvE. If you wanted to be the ultimate hunter youcould go master pikeman + master ranger but you would sacrifice the master brawler benefits and be very limited with medical skills. That build would dictate your dependence on docs because without SOME kind of buff the HAM costs for Pikeman will destroy you. Also my previous idea with going doc gives you the ability to self buff so you are a very strong pikeman with the ability to pretty much solo at will.
