basically the weaponsmiths say:

Problem is that Post CU it isnt possible to create good pikes as there is absolutely no Enhancers that can give a nice damage. Best thing we have is High powered vibro motors that doesnt go much over 38 meaning only enhances max dam of ordinary pikes with 38.

So htat is the reason.

The high DPS pikes you see is Pre CU looted ones and we as WS have no possibility of matching the stats on those (neither on the ROTW pikes)

so there you have it, its not cause we dont want to (Believe me Id love to help out the pikeys ) Its cause we simple havnet got any way of making nice pikes post CU

I wonder if this will be looked into?

Yeah, this profession is bad for weaponsmiths. Pre-CU, we used mostly looted ones, and now, it's really just shooting yourself in the foot if you buy crafted pikes. Not to mention all the loot-only pikes now.

was wondering that myself.

my pre-CU VL is 290 base dps. not real excited about that, considering the 400 base dps ranged weapons i see floating around. My pike works tho, so i'm not stuck or anything, i figure i'll run across something eventually

Are any of the current uber BH loots usable in their construction?

Forgive me if i'm behind the curve on this... but has this been brought up as an issue?

imo crafters should be the source of our weapons, not looted weapons.

plus what's up with limiting melee to 5m while actually *extending* the range of the ranged professions?

I haven't seen this personally, but i'm told with cyber arms rifleman can hit you from 85m??? That's 80m we have to travel *while* being shot at, and that's not counting snares and roots.

LOL yeah, and your taunt and intimidate have very short ranges too, but the cone on your warcry seems to be 65m range... which you really don't want because it aggros everything in that cone. Factor in the fact that the client is often out of sync with the server by a couple seconds in terms of rendering where MOB's NPC's and other players are really at, and the 5m melee range is pretty hard to deal with sometimes. Its not the 5m range that's bad though... its the environment that it has to be enforced in that causes the problems.

Non-enhanced Vibro lances lag way behind other level 54non-enhanced weapons in DPS. When they rebalanced things for the CU, the VL didn't come off too well. Even with perfect resources a VL simply doesn't measure up very well when compared to other weapons.

This forces us to play smart. If you are running 80m to kill a rifleman, you are doing exactly what they want. Instead of rushing at her/him, find some cover inside or behind a building, and make them come to you.Simple solution!
