High demand?

Not quite talking about that.
I'd split the class into two classes each with their own hero classes since skirmisher can do pretty much everything. It's true that hero upogrades matter more in late level hardmode or ragnarock mode
Neither of which i had the luxury of experiencing myself since i'm barely a tier 4 inf.
I'm looking from my perspective which is early levels on hard and normal up to prince. Things are probably a bit more balanced on higher waves but just as it was said:
pikemen dance gracefully soloing whole waves and are virtually the best slashers and amazing at range. That's my experience. Correct me if i'm wrong

I don't exactly agree. I think all classes have a purpose. They're very inaccurate compared to other ranged classes, so they can't shoot as far. In addition to having light armor, a pikeman also can't equip any good shields, and is still worse than a commando of the same level should he pick up one of their shields; pikemen have 5,6, or 7 shield and commandos have 8(10 if they're a royal guard).

And also, kiting is impossible on ragnarok as any class because of them stupid einherjar rangers.
