Pikeman Archive

Can someone provide me with the advantage of 2 over 1? Im trying to gear my pikeman for some pvp but so far i cant catch anything to hit it. I hear 2 is a knockdown with 15m range, and 1 is a position change with same range. So my question, does 2 keep your victim immobile longer? Any other differences?

Yeah, Lunge2 is worth it with the current system. If you really want to be a **edit**, you can use it on fellow brawlers too - just run around them and lunge2 til they fall down, then wade in for the kill. I hope that KD gets nerfed into obvlivion for PVP eventually, because it's cheap, but not until they give melee players another way to actually get swings off.

As far as I know both lunge attacks don't do much damage but they can extend the range far enough to hit those **edit** marksman. The only problem with polearmlunge1 is that they don't stay kneeled long enough for you to get a second hit in... but lunge2 is a knockdown move so you should be able to get in a second or even a third hit in if you are fast and lucky. If you are fighting another melee person who is not running then I would suggest using polearm sweep because it does more damage (I think) and costs less ham. Lunge moves are just good for stopping runners.

Good to know, just bummed out that i now need to complete the brawler tree :\
