High demand?

If i may be so blunt:
I belive skirmishers should be split into
->skirmisher
->pikeman

Much like how cavarly was removed before my time here, i belive skirmishers should be changed. Sit back and throw horrendous javs at boss's faces and stand behind a shielder slashing better than infantry

How to approach those two new classes?
Skirmisher gets no two handed weapons avaliable and a shield usable as a support slot for instance
He gets a double ammo upograde on hero but a mandatory melee slot if he picks it up.
so shield, onehander + javelins. Like you'd have it in real life. Also bonus to how much shield blocks if hit in the back while sheated.
So they can go infront of the wave and throw some javs to soften the enemy without the fear that 2 spears or arrows will kill then asap

Pikeman: Most armored class in the game, no shields other than swadian board shield, also support slot. Same stats as sks, retextured board shield. (greater coverage, dat's all)
Mediocre shielding. Good array of pikes and one handed weapons. Maybe a new gimmick for them to fill the slots tho or allow them to carry support items in their normal slots.
Basically, Skirmishers can do everything inf, archer and crossbowman can do - but shield.

That's my experience. Perhaps that's not the truth of it since i'm not that high class yet but seing a skirmisher being able to solo 10 people worth of juggernauts easily and still slash better than anyone is kind of... Well, the server population speaks for itself. 66% of players are generally skirmishers.
