You can go t3 infantry + t3 skirmisher + t1 archer at 52. So at the end you will be able to use dragon halberd - drag.spear - aurora blade and worms bane (if they are still usable by everyone) and be able to wear better armors(55body) than the best of the pikeman's(42body) because of the sergeant class. Also with those classes you will have equall speed as t4 pikeman+t2infantry(10atletics).
I told that alot around those class topics; current skirmisher class is very underpowered(need a big buff if you ask me). And now that commando's new slashing animations(you can no longer hit behind of you with 2handed weapons), pikeman also lost its slasher priority(try to hit with a long polearm in a tight camp and enjoy losing your hp with your own hits :/ ).
Who knows, maybe pikeman will get a buff at future, but right now you wont lose anything by trying some different class combinations
.
Or, just go commando, not pikeman
.
Ps. And dont forget grinder helmet.
