Pikeman Archive

Friend of mine sold me a lance he looted. It has a nice ablility though its slow, it has poison mind for 132 for 2 min. Has 4k charges.. nice to see new loot is finally in the game even if it doesnt spawn as much as it should. Its nice for pvp use it until they are poisoned then switch to my vibrolance. Watch as those jerks try to run from me as they shoot as i taunt them until they incap from mind damage then db them. FUN.

Why use a vibrolance if you can use a long vibro axe? Isn't the lance worse?

Actually the lance is worse. I'm a novice brawler (still) trying to get up to Novice Pikeman. I purchased a vibro lance and THEN discovered I couldn't use it until I became a novice pikeman (need vibro lance certification). Started using a lance, good but slow. Well, now working toward novice pikeman and discovered I had long vibro axe certification, had to travel all the way to Naboo to find one. The damage I can now deliver seems twice of thee times more than with a lance, AND it's a faster weapon! Happen to examine both the long vibro axe and the vibro lance and discovered that the long vibro axe that I can use now is faster and delivers more damage than the vibro lance I currently can't use. Guess which weapon I'm gonna stick with! What's really weird is that weaponsmiths can make a vibro lance before they can make a long vibro axe, but the vibro axe is available to use by players first, and then you have to get up to a level to use the vibro lance. Anyway, I would say stick with the vibro axe.
