Pikeman Archive

I hardly EVER see pikeman around and now I know why. I sit there and count the number of times I miss and it is astonishing. I go into a fight and usually miss around 7/10 times. When I do hit, it is for a lot of damage, but because it is so inconsistent it isn't really that fun and I am thinking of taking a new proffesion...

My question is: Am I missing a lot because I suck? Am I not doing the proper moves or standing the proper distance? I always aim for 3 meters away because it is my ideal range. I was using a Vibro Lance, but switched to a Long Vibro Axe becauseit did more damage and I was hoping it would miss less. What do I need to do to have better accuracy??

Also, if this isn't a problem witht eh way I am playing the game... is there a possibility that I am missing because of bugs? If so, can we get this fixed?

If the problem lies nowhere and pikeman just miss awhole bunch...is there any way we can get our accuracy tweaked up???

Thanks for the time reading the post.

welcome to the life of a pikeman...

read the quote in my sig.

Its true, nothing you can do about it, the accuracy you get going up the tree makes it a little better. But not by much. Its pretty hard to counter -55 mods accross the board

A vibro-lance will miss less than a LVA..

im only at polearms 3, and use an lva. when fighting i either miss tons of times in a row or amazingly get like only 1 miss the whole time. freaky, ive gone about 6 successfull hits in a row on a tusken, but then again ive gone more misses in a row on A worrt. **edit** A worrts.

I'm a novice pikeman at 2/2/0/1 and I don't miss that often at all. Yesterday I counted how many times I hit a giant desert womp rat until I missed and it was 9 or 10 almost every time. I'm also a master brawler and have gloves with +2 polearm accuracy, but I dont think that would allow for that much of a difference. Usually I hit most often when I stand at 5 meters, even though it says my weapon's max range is 4 meters, however, with the giant desert womp rat I was standing 3 meters from it and it was stunned and intimidated.

i have the same problem. But as i move further up the pikeman tree i miss less and less it seems. and soon it seems like the devs r gonna change it

Please review the forum before you make posts like this. It's one of our most obvious flaws.

At master, with an LVA I miss 1 in 2 shots. I've maxed at 9 misses in a row.

Well guys, thanks a lot for the replys. I just got so frustrsted that I couldn't stand it. I was thinking that maybe master brawler would help, but I am not sure if I want to give up CH and medic. Well, anyway, thanks again...
