Pikeman Archive

Give them the longest range out of all the Melee Classes and then give them the ability to keep their target at that distance.The range of a Pikeman, IMO,should be approx.long enough that he can attack over the top a teammate and on top of that that he can also keep the MOB at that distance when engaged. On successful hits have the MOB pushed back to the max range of thepolearm and when the MOB hits successfully havethe MOBenter back into point blank range but, until the MOB lands successfully he stays at the weapons max range. This would implement some form of tanking for the pikeman as long as the mobs range is shorter than the polearm. The ability tokeep aggressors at bay and to inflict damage from a safer distance than a sword, was the main reason the polearm was invented in the first place.

i like that idea.

Here's to wishful thinking!

aye, i do too, we would have knock back.. instead of knockdown.. haha
