Pikeman

[Guest]

I just mastered Pikeman last night and I wonder how
successful/powerful they are. I grinded the profession
on Dantooine killing savage quenkers. When mastering
pistoleer/carbineer I was killing quenkers with 4-5 shots
but even at 4/4/3/4 pikeman it was taking a lot longer
to kill them. I have been using a Vibro Lance that I have
had sliced, it hits anywhere from 200-2700....such a wide
range of hit damage. Can anyone send me some pointers?

By master, you should have gone to a VL or LVA. Those hit harder and do
more consistant damage. They are harder to use at lower levels with
those awful to-hit mods, but at your level, they should be far more
consistant.

Pikeman is one of those profs that kicks in near master, but they're
still notorious for missing.

Duh! Excuse the VL comment. I was misreading.

Go looking for melee powerups. (Good luck.) Look for ones that up low
damage. They're useless for fencers, because we blow through a powerup
per opponent, but should be good for you.

Also look for looted polarms. If you can find a Nightsister lance with a
nasty DOT, you'll kick more than ass.
