"2. THe only two types of weapons we have our electric and kinetic. Therefore, we can't hunt down NS elders because they hav 100% resists, and we are the ones who specifically need their loot."

NS Energy Lance. Energy damage. Sure it may be hard to get right now, but the spawn will be increased as soon as the patch goes live. No worries there.

"8. Stacking. Remove it. I am a Master Pike/ Combat medic, but i will lose most of the time because i don't have as great defenses as stackers. Defenses for a prof should appl y when that weapon is equiped."

You should beat stackers WAY more then they beat you...

Accuracy is a huge problem, especially from a balance point of view. You can't balance via DPS when you throw a variable as random as accuracy into it.

This game is just a balance nightmare. Speed tapes and the wild accuracy of professions is just asinine.

Get speed capped, and start swinging a 900 damage LVA and you'll see why we dont' need any nurfing.

1. Accuracy for our weapons and for us is not that good

2. THe only two types of weapons we have our electric and kinetic. Therefore, we can't hunt down NS elders because they hav 100% resists, and we are the ones who specifically need their loot.

3. Defenses. How come 2 brawler proffesions can get good defenses and we can't. What really pisses me off is how pistoleers get a +50 defense vs knockdown. THey don't need it, we do, they attack from a distance.

4. Range Defense. This should be for all brawler profs because if we get attacked by a rifleman, we are done.

5. Toughness. We by far have the worst toughness.

6. Area Attack and spin attack or the SAME THING (practically).

7. Leg hit does not do as much damage as a swordsmans mind hit or a riflemans mind shot, or a tka mind hit. And also, action is easy to heal, so we are doing no good attacking a healalbe pool.

8. Stacking. Remove it. I am a Master Pike/ Combat medic, but i will lose most of the time because i don't have as great defenses as stackers. Defenses for a prof should appl y when that weapon is equiped.

THE END

1. The same can be said about swordsman, this will be addressed in the CU and is not just something affecting pikemen. there are also proffesions with way to much accuracy.

2. You whine about only having 2 damage types, while in fact you have 3 with the NSEL. take a look at the other melee proffesions, fecer = kinetic/stun, swordsman = kinetic/blast, tkm = kinetic.. dang! seems like you actually have the most damage types of all the melee proffs.

3. You havent realy played as a pistoleer have you? if you had you would know that pistols is teh crap at range, i actually stood more still then i did kiting with pistols due to the fact its better for you, dodge kicks in more ofter (at least in my experience), you can use melee hit wich is a KD attack and you get better accuracy.

4. A rifleman is supposed to tear you apart, at least at range. Just play tactical and run behind cover or try to sneak up on them, then knock them on their arse and start hammering away. remember they dont have melee defence either so they are in the same boat when you get up close.

7. Wait for the CU and this will be addressed. theres other proffesions who are in the same boat you know, carbineers, fencers (well they got scatter shiak, but that doesnt realy hurt much unless you got the stun stick from hell) and pistoleers (unless the pick up BH)

8. I have played as both a fencer/stacker and a fencer/cm and also as carbineer/cm. and if you cant beat stackers as a CM, no matter what other proffesion you have you arent using poisons, thats for sure.

1) All the professions are messed up in one way or another.

2) No pikeman can actually loot the things necessary to make the NSEL and those who sell it charge so much that no regular player can buy one. Also, how does a hammer do blast damage? Makes no sense.

3) We have better defenses than TKMs do.

4) Rifleman should do more damage than any other profession. They're using a high-powered rifle after all.

5) Our toughness does suck.

6) Area attack is better because it adds a second status effect that spin attack doesn't.

7) We got ripped off in the pool attacking department.8) Stacking should be removed.

In all, here's to hoping that the CURB fixes some of these problems.

Honestly? how does it make sence to have a polearm axe have the same armor penetration as a high velocity laser rifle(T21)?

Our defenses are inferior to TKAs in just about every way.
