Pikeman Archive

Sorry for my lack of participation on these boards, but it seems like I have to spend almost all my board time defending the over-nerfed Creature Handler profession. But anyway, here goes:

I was fooling around with a TKA friend of mine and I noticed he was hitting me at 6m range.

OK. Problem.

I'm using this long pole-type weapon, which should extend my range greatly, and the max range I have (with my STANDARD lance, mind you) is equal toan unarmed combat character? Um, no, something is not right here. Distance is the main factor in Agro against MOB's in this game. Anyone else see this? Either the range on unarmed combat is WAY to far or we need a serious max-range extension. Any thoughts?

Again, sorry if this has already been brought up, which I'm sure it has, but I was pretty ticked off. Thanks for your time.

Oh, don't forget that any weapon besides my STANDARD lance is max range of 5m. ?????? The range system is this game makes no sense at all.

Some of these spears should go up to 8m IMO. Pikes afterall were supposed to be LONG-reaching weapons. Pikeman should be able to outreach even TKA IMO.

Unarmed has a range of 8m. Just about every other weapon, regardless of what it says, also has a range of 8m. I know for a fact that my VL has a range of 8m as I fight torturs often who have a range of 10m and often like to step just out of range.

With larger creatures/MOB's such as Tortons you can get more range on them.On standard small/medium sized NPC's/MOB's the MAX I can get is 6m with my standard lance. But this still makes no sense that unarmed have the same range as someone witha weapon. I would think this is common sense to developers.
