Pikeman melee rebalance proposal.

[Jarold]

I personally think that their javelin throwing and damage dealing should be specialized so as to make the class more useful. Perhaps giving javelins a sheild shredding buff (kind of how the legionary pila were used) and their overhead attacks a chance at knockdown. Viewing crossbow and skirmisher classes in opposition to the other classes only really focuses on the redistribution of roles that already exist. Rather new roles should be invented. The skirmisher should be given jobs that no one else can do and that presently do not exist (like anti-shield and or knockdown specialist).

my skirmisher is only tier 3 and i really only use my commando in hard/normal mode but this sounds really good. We need diversity.
