I dont think looted pikes should be nerfed or taken away, they are very hard to get and the only reason you see all pikeman use them is because having a very good looted pike is the ONLY good thing about this profession
We have:
Worst defenses of any profession
Worst Defense mod, Block
Bad speed
No bonuses like meditation
crappy accuracy
Worst damage types
Slow crafted weapons
Low damage crafted weapons
But we do get:
Rare good loot

150 Dmg is quite high in PvP

maybe they wont do anything to us... they will just bring everyone down to our level, lol
can you imagine the uproar if TKA attacked as slow as we do, or how mad 2-Handed would be if they did our damage, or how upset fencers would be if they had our defences? LOL

I'm all for wiping them all out entirely, just as long as our crafted weapons become usable. We shouldn't have to have gone looking for them in the first place.
More likely I think they'll just scale them all down, which is fine but no replacement for having decent crafted weapons.

discuss...
i really hope they get scaled down with everything else and we dont have to go looking for new ones all over again.
but what do you think will they be scaled down like everything else? or be deleted and replaced with the newer CB compatible weapons?

when its a 800 max damage pike i consider it a very good replacement for a crafted one

While the devs have never been able to alter pre-nerf weapons, I do hope that all pre-combat balance weapons get a change, they would have to if the balances are drastic enough. As long as the changes are relative. If I have a polearm that is 4x as good as player-made, it had better be 4x as good as post-combat-balance player-made polearms. I don't see how they couldn't do it this way, really. Keeping all the pre-balance weapons as they are will cause problems with everyone.

Of course it is, but it's not a replacement for easy access to good crafted weapons (not the junk we have now). If the option is to either keep our high-damage looted weapons and get nothing new or to lose them and get crafted weapons that are actually worth using, I'll take the crafted weapons.
