Recommendations for Poor Man's Pikeman Gear?

[ZuS]

At first grab craftable javelins ~9k on AH, then start saving money for craftable throwing spears ~ 800k and afterwards you should invest in a kind of armour, maybe Eastern Heavy Armour? (90-120k) then you can think about support items, but deployable shield set (3) ~ 1.5k is also a good idea for a start if you are a trinkerer, so you can easly grab them even now. That is my humble opinion.
