Re: Pikemen
Great news! I helped lean on this issue and think it's great that you got some much deserved attention.
Re: Scyth Damage
There have been hints that the speed formula will be changing. That would hopefully do away with this one second speed cap silliness that makes speed so insignificant for a weapon and will make raw DPS a better measure of a weapon.
If you just look at DPS, the scythe is significantly better. Also it reacts to damage mitigation very well as it has a rather low damage range. In general I think it'll prove a very effective addition to our arsenal. Not everyone has speed bonuses. I do, and I still use my power hammer for now, but for a player without this luxury, the change will be a big deal while using specials.

Actually that's not true anymore. It's cert was moved to Finesse 3 yesterday as TH said it would.
I hope this is a sign that the Scythe Blade stats have change as well. If I can I will try get one made today in order to see.
Edit: I meant Finesse.

Outstanding...
Do we know when the thing will make it to the live servers ?
(i.e. how much time do I have to get finesse back ? )

I think you'll have a while.
I logged on this morning to try to make some LVA's and maybe another scythe to see if there had been changes yet.
And I found out that players are crashing anytime someone fires a ranged shot. Right now I'm logged by some thugs and I crash everytime I try to come in.
That's test for you. I think we'll have another week or two at least. It's always seems to be a tug of war between wanting to get features out and wanting to make sure that they're all stable.

That weapon looked kinda funny to be a 2handed weapon think I seen a better one on a Night Sister Elder, not sure because I was too busy running while she was shooting lightning up my @$$. Question was that made with the worse resources humanly findable in the Galaxy? I will still use my 2handed curved, Range mods are horrid and with the ham cost its right up there with the killer Carbines =/
Gotta be a movie they can search through and find an idea for a better 2handed weapon. KOTOR has nice 2Handed swords in it =)

NPC Weapons are ALWAYS better than crafted weapons. You can't ever USE them though...

HAM costs were changed. Range mods were changed to +10, per Thunderheart.
The glaring negatives with the scythe have been or are planned on being changed.
