Has anyone else met anyone or just about everyone who says that pikeman was too boring or hard to grind for master and they quit about half way? Or is it just me meeting all the weak-minded low will-powered people who think that it IS too hard or whatnot. Maybe its just that we dont stop grinding at brawler! I can't believe that everyone has to settle for master fencer/tkm or some other boring professions with low visuals and not alot of creativity. I think people need to realize that pikeman is a beauty within its self and that taking professions for pvp only ( you people who just take the stances tree to use DOT's ). What do you think?



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Now that DOT's are gone the real Pikemen step forward. We have irraticated the novice stances line DOT whores and have stepped into future. But now we have a new threat.. Swordsmen using us for defense! Will it ever be over!?!?

Keep up the grind, you'll be happy you did at the end.


Probably.

Master Pikeman is a proud title to hold. Nothin like battling against an npc holding a pike too. I'm sorry but I still think pike battles look sweet. Just that in itself is worth the work.

I agree. That's why I move forward and the "grind" gets more enjoyable as you progress.

I'm doing the pikeman grind for a second time (supplanting my Wookiee out of frustration). It's a LOT easier these days than it was the first time around. Hell, I can even use the LVA at novice pikeman and hit things once in awhile.

What I find irritating is that people who used to make fun of me for choosing the most gimped class in the game are now pikemen thanks to their goddamn nightsister loot.

I love pike. I did it willingly and, truthfully, when I started I didn't even know DOT's were available to pikes. I just happened across2 looted ones which I LOVE, bothdropped from NS's.


It's an awesome profession...good visuals, great for taking out 10+ enemies at once. Definitely fits the bill of 'crowd control'. Got a riot in progress? Send in a Pikeman and sit back to watch.


And I didn't think it was any more boring than TK to master, or any other combat prof for that matter.
