sorry, no edit button

staves and pikes if you look at history were deployed in a defencive type position. set to recieve a charge is where a polearm excells. what i mean by that is if somone runs into a set polearm there done for. take the halberd for example. arguably the most powerful polearm there was. it had a small axe head at the end of an 8 foot shaft. it also had a spike on the top of the shaft and on the oppisite side of the axe head. this weapon was great for punchuring armor. the downside to this weapon is that it was heavy and needed alot of room to be swung in an arc effectively.

staves can be used in close melee combat, perhaps i was bit hasty in that judgement, but lances, vibro lances and long vibro axes im sure are heavy weapons and should be treated as the halberd example above. whatever thease weapons hit should do massive damage.

well Swordmen and pike have the same armor piecing of ap2 i believe. I might be wronge though about the ap rating.

But as of right now swordman is allot better then pike. swordmen do more damage and is alot more accurate then pike. It's sad really cuz pike looks so bad-ass but they miss alot more then we do and they don't do as much damage.

Also swordman is definetly better then pike because pike keeps getting looked over and never gets fixed really sad actually. there area kd used to be sooo powerer full in big pvp fights but since that big kd/posture down nerf pike is a broken proffession.

So yes swordman does more accuracy is faster and does more damge then pike at the moment. but hopefully this will change soon cuz it should be an awsome class.

So yeah for now go swordman if you want or you could be diffrent and go pike. But in the end it all depends on what you like playing

One advantage that Pikemen have over Swordsmen is that one of their main weapons is electricity-based... which, as we all know, is a good type of damage to have.

Other than that, it is, unfortunately, pretty broken.
