2. Strength needs a buff, and this would allow strength players to properly compete against AGI, earlier I saw a thread about STR needing a buff and I agree.
[...]
4. AGI builds currently suffer, so make it where this would allow them to compete with strength builds due to the free power strike.
Point 2 does not make any sense and is contradicted by point 4.
If this is not some kind of weird trolling I actually like the idea of the suggestion, but I think it's useless.
Pikemen can't use shield, so many pikes standing next to each other would draw a lot of fire. Which will end badly for the pike wall.
Next to this, the use of several pikes on one spot is rather limited, because all melee players need to do is to downblock. Pikes are only effective if supported by (or better: supporting) other melee weapons with more attack directions. Yes, pikes can be really nasty, but guess what happens when five two handers run downblockingly (?) into a wall of several pikemen who are standing close to each other, and facehug them. Best thing the pikes can achieve in this scenario are a few glance-stuns, nothing more. If their formation is broken up they will block each other, while the two handed swordsmen can go rampage between them.
Mixing the pike wall with other classes would break up the bonus, I guess. Standing still and blocking with your shield works better without moving than fighting with a slow, unbalanced and single-directionally attacking pike.
So I say I am neither for nor against this suggestion, all I say it's useless.
