I am now semibored of the Great long Axe, so i decided to whore a pike or halberd. Man it is so fun teaming up with other pikers and harrassing people, how did i miss this great weapon in the first place?

Oh right, rangespam

As an NA admin, I am the most laid back and concerned with the ~fun of the game~ above all other factors. I've also been super inactive since Summer 2012. University takes most of my time, but I still find some time to play when i can.

When you realise you can't twister-stunlock someone with a pike, you soon get back to your GLA.

The problem is even if you are number 1 in NA you are still only number 467 in EU or the worst in AUS(number 17)

Pike is a support weapon, if you stick behind the shield line for cover and timed thrust the enemies it's half win for the team. Try it some time, pikes behind shieldwall, constant stunlock.

Been playing with the combo of Pike + loomed German Poleaxe and I find myself using the pike 90% of the time due to team play with decent scores.

Having two weapons pike+another polearm is kind of useless now, since you cant sheath the pike. Unless you pick it up when you won the fight.
And yes Devlin is like one of the most annoying pikers out there right now :)

Go away and leave my horse alone!

Being a pikeman has been alot of fun for ages, even with the new slot system and drop weapon introduced  :P

poleaxe is fun. :)

Btw with a thread title like this, you are going to get skewed results in the poll.  But, maybe that's what you were going for. :)

I started piking cause it was rare. Now it's not. Not fun anymore. Swiss halberd would be awesome thought. Dont see much of those.
Why is everybody telling me to think? I think, I just don't show it.

Of course i  use a pike, when i see so many cavs around. But unfortunately, there's more cavs in the ennemy team, than pikes in my team, most of the times.

And i believe it must be quite thrilling for cavalry to own this poor pikeman who can't deal with 2 lancers cav, or with one 1h/2h cav constantly bumping and slashing close to him.

But the pike is still fun. Doubt i'll waste heirlooms on it though. For now at least.
