All we have is Kinetic, and Electric, with a slight chance at Energy. Don't you think it would be a nice little thing to help advance Pikeman if we had a Stun damage weapon? At least it would help in PvP I'm thinking. It would give us that little something to compete with the TKA templates. Anyhow, just a thought.....

TK = kinetic


Fencers = kinetic & stun


Swordsman = kinetic & blast



Pikeman = kinetic, electric & energy


Stop whining.

I hope it didnt think calling him a troll insulted Legwand in anyway.

Ya no need to get in a flame fest, I couldn't compete with Leg


Just trying to bring some discussion on a topic I thought might be worthy of the boards, with the stun wep and all.


Leg can't consider calling him a troll an insult, because he is a self-proclaimed troll anyways... It's a compliment


BTW, Did I mention I think it would be cool to have a Pikeman Stun wep?

Whining? Go buy a clue Leg, your just a typical board troll.But your opinion is noted.... No stun for Pikeman per Leg. Stun is for other classes- got it.


I would still be nice to have a stun dmg weapon. Maybe not practical, as Leg has pointed out, but it would be nice.

Nah no flaming, I like a good fight as much as the next guy. What I was pointing out was that we get three types of attacks where fencer/swordsmen only get two, and TKAs only get one.


Asking for another type of attack just sounds plain greedy.



Oh, I'm not a typical board troll. I think I'm arather good one

personally I would like a restraint dmg weapon, cause as of now not one class has one of those, and a lot of a High level stuff has restraint Vulnerablity


/shrug


Would be cool

we have 3 types of damage but they're the three most commonly resisted types.


swordsmen get blast, which is useful.fencers get stun, which is useful. we get elec and if we're really lucky energy. neither of which are terribly useful.


any PvP composite suit you buy has 80% elec resist, and has been sliced to have kinetic and energy in the 80% range. fencer has a huge advantage with their stun baton in this regard.


AT-STs also resist all of our damage types fairly highly, while being vulnerable to blast, so here the swordsman has a huge advantage (if he's a rebel).


so yes, we have three damage types, they have two, but their alternate damage types are just MORE USEFUL than ours.


(btw I'm just playing along here. I think it would be unbalanced to give us a stun weapon because we hit so much harder than fencers do. besides, we have NS lances. no class in the game is better prepaired to DOT their enemy to death than we are, except the combat medic of course)

is this supposed to be a joke or are you serious?

stun damage has nothing to do with stunning a target, it's just a different type of damage... one which most composite armour is vulnerable to.

oh my bad
Now that I finaly figure out what we talking about I agree with the others that if we get a stun dmg type weapon and the other classes don't get energy/electrical ones as well then those classes will also be crying about how overpowered and unfair pikemans are. Dot weapons plus a bunch of different damage type weapons others will start to complain.
