1st for Teeth.
IMO if you have spear, you should always carry a side weapon if you want to block. IMO long spears/pikes shouldn't be able to block. They're a support weapon.
And now. It seems that there're a lot of people replying to my post without actually having read it (I hope they haven't read it fully, otherwise they have some serious issues).
pingpong aka JEWBANKER and Hunter_The_Honourable, where did I say that I have problems defeating long spears/pikes? "They're not impossible to defeat, sometimes not even hard." I can't see that I said they're hard to defeat. You two missed why I hate long spears/pikes, go and read again my post, actually just the underlined part, shouldn't be hard.
Hunter_The_Honourable, I assume you're NA. Come to EU1 when Gurnisson/teeth/chase(if he's long spear) are on, they'll show you what a skilled long spear/pike user can do.
Jew, for once stop leeching and try to actually survive and fight. Maybe then I'll take your sayings a little more seriously.
Me? NA? Fuck no I'm not no yank. And I'd rather not play on EU_1 because I want to enjoy playing cRPG not get shot down by the 40 odd archers that have been team stacked as usual. I play Siege and on EU_4 normally I like small to medium battle servers where I can actually play as cav without getting shot down within the first 2 minutes. And if you don't find them hard to beat then you wouldn't of ragespecced to ranged because you would
lean to suck it up and deal with it like everyother melee player. You are not the only one who gets annoyed when pikes stab through objects or you get back stabbed by one, however QQing about a class that requires team-mates in order to be effective is just stupid. You are basically crying for a nerf to
TEAM WORK if you can't handle people who play pikers and play them smart then quite simply welcome working as a team where people actually use their brains and work together.
