Pikemen + heavy Inf vs commando+ skirmisher

[Filthy The Kid]

Can somebody tell me one good reason why somebody should play a weak Pikemen. He falls in normal mode extremly fast. I dont get it, whats this class is good for  >

"He falls in normal mode extremely fast"

That sir, is a lie. I soloed to 13th wave as pikeman, and if it wasnt for restart, i would have soloed to 16th, and maybe further. This was even Hard Mode, and not Normal mode.
Outrunning tricksters is nice, btw <3

(Hard mode only crashes 50% of the time on the 2nd wave, since when shield maidens do not appear, it does not crash)

Lets talk about the polearm weapons:
Pikemen + heavy:

thunder pike:        48c; 42p; 88; 200
snake spear:        35b; 48p; 92; 146

commando+ skirmisher:

sun pike:              52c; 42p; 88; 180
swadian poleaxe: 60c; n/A; 88; 170

My result is the Commando + Skirmish even gets the better weapons. I see no love in this class.

You do realise, that with the 48p Snake Spear and 9 or 10 athletics, you can 2shot einherjars, and 1shot champion huscarls? You need 3-5 hits with Swadian Halberd and Sun pike on an einherjar, and 3 hits on Champion huscarl.
