From a pre-cu TKM, got a question. My current template is TKM/Swords4-1-4-4/Doc 4-0-0-4. My question is this, would it be advantagous to switch to pikes? I love tkm and doc, and will not change those. I am somewhat underwhelmed with the damage swords provides, and I love playing with big sticks, love the animations, just wonder how well this will work?

just curious, as I mainly solo, let me know your opinions.

Thanks Brothers,

kenru.

Well pikeman has its bonuses (area attacks and such) but if you want the big damage melee moves imp crit hit and power attack is where it is at. Also Swords has Imp AB which is another thing I would say melee people should have.

Pike:
-Animations look much better.
-Weapons look much better then swords horrible looking PH.
-Spin attack is fantastic for FS exp (spin groups), or faction farming. (Not efficient for fighting multiple higher lvl opponents solo)
-Area knockdown is fun and has strategic uses in groups...but everyone gets up to fast so not that great solo.
-Intim, Warcry are great in groups and long encounters.

-Biggest problem vs sword:
You miss out on ADV AB. (dps goes down a lot)

-Your combat encounters will take considerably longer.
-Agro hold is better with sword.

I think that pike is better in well designed groups, sword is better for solo... I liked both in different situations.
