alright ive been a pvp pikeman for a long time (month or so before stacking was nerfed) and i love the profession. In a pvp setting, a pikeman and a fencer have about the same tactics. They both need to be very close to their prey and they both use DoTs for the dmg. MOST of the time i see fencers coming out on top (not against me because adees=teh pwnz0r hehe) and the reasons why are very obvious: fencers have defense likeamother **edit**er! A fencer has 60ish to the most important secondary defenses (kd, posture down, dizzy, stun, blind, all of that) as oposed to pikemans 20. Fencer gets about 70 melee/ranged defense as well, not to mention that they have DODGE, the very best defense a person can ask for. I think that if you gave pikeman a boost in the secondary defenses like kd, posture down and dizzy, the fencer/pikeman duels would be alot more even. let me know what you guys think but in my opinion that would give pikeman the extra beefage that they deserve!

I've only been pikeman for a few days now, but I've been duelling without dots with a friend of mine who is also now a pikeman, and against a few fencer/stacker friends, and have been thinking the same thing.


A little bump in defences and maybe a little increase of the min damage on our weapons to let us actually deal some damage in pvp, would bringpikeman more in line with the other melee professions, and remove a lot of the reliability on dots.

The sad thing is, with a 350ish max dmg Acklay stun baton, you'd probably do more damage in PVP than you would with that beast of an LVA.

yeah, I totally agree.

Pikeman reallly needs some love. The 75 speed at master sucks.. the defense sucks... and even offense. But I still love pikeman.


I would give up all my DoTs to see Pikeman get some better defense/offence

Mine hits from 300-2.1k in PvP. About 300-1k against anyone with Melee DM3.

And 45-150 after a normal 85% PvP Armor

And about 15-75 after Intimidate and Stun


The guy will regain after than you can hit him ... and you'll lose 1 condition for each 10 hits or so ...

And he can always use a Stim Bs or Ds if something goes wrong



Don't bother asking changes before the revamp ... all we can currently get is a Nerf since we are one of the only profession that threaten their jedi friends

1. more speed, 75 isnt that much.

2. more defensives, i dont feel like a tank

3. if we dont get more defense, how about a area intimidate. let us be the area kings

4. better crafted weapons or at least a aopportunity to insert some real good loot stuff (like kryt tissues)into crafted ones.


and if we dont get any of these, give us the the imperial guard robe + helmet as master pikeman and i would be pleased



every typo i made here is fully wanted and only exists due to entertainment reasons

I have to agree that more defense is needed , the gulf between PvE and PvP is absolutely huge for a pikeman.
