Thread: What is higher Damage Pike or Swordsman???
Both improved impale from pikes and all the swordsmans best damage attacks have a 3.6x dam multiplier on them (maybe 3.5 but defo the same) So there is no difference. The only difference is in the weapons. Average swords have around 150 more max than average pikes but average pikes are .5 or so faster.
No real difference the question is would you rather attack faster or hit harder ? and would you prefere area attacks, intimidate and stunning blow or 3 identical power moves ?
Best of both worlds...
My template is MSwords, MPike and MBrawler & TK thrown in. Giving a Swordsman the Pikeman attacks is priceless, of course sincewe're talking melee here. Ranged is a different story.
But the fact is that best hammers currently outdamage the best pikes. Done.
The main factors were the 2handed accuracy bonus of +110 (pikemen get +65), advanced armor break and the 3 high-damage attacks. Even though I miss the intimidate and stun attacks
