I have a commando and Pikeman atm for testing both.
Slasher compare (no solo ability):
Commando:
- weak Slasher weapons
- only Ancient Greatsword, Volundr Greatsword, Sunpike are good but not able to find with this current small drop rate
- you need a gab in the shieldwall
+ 8 PS
+ can switch to Shielder
+ best armor
+ most one handed skill
+ most two handed skill
Pikeman:
+ huge choice of good weapons (polearms), one of my favorit weapons is the swadian halbert
+ most Polearm skill
+ Polearm weapons can ignore Shielder, no gab needed
- no really good new legendary slasher weapons (Pike of Kings not able to find)
- only 7 PS
- cant switch to defence (to weak)
- weak armor
If you look at the events, you can see there not many Pikeman outside. The reason are clear i think. If i would find a Ancient Greatsword, Volundr Greatsword or a Sunpike for my commando, i would respec my Pikeman to a other class. I think a small damage buff for the pikeman would be better, to make him to the damage dealer he has to be.
