This likely won't be the final video on this class as i'd certainly like to revisit it but for now I just wanted to get my first impressions and thoughts on the weapon out :)
@@ouro4279 Later into the season, you are unlikely going to be doing significantly more damage even with the bonus of light armor. So sticking with medium is probably a good idea.
I think the pike is going to be adjusted. Or it needs to be adjusted. It's confused it doesn't know whether the be offensive or defensive. Because the attacks carry you forward into enemy lines you can take other shitload of damage without doing much damage at all. Personally I don't like it it's a weak weapon that makes you vulnerable. Doesn't really have anything going for it other than the piercing damage that can really help with armor but then again you have teammates that you can rely on to really take care of that. Pikes were used to historically to keep people safe while you're able to kill the enemy from the distance. But this weapon and the way it moves kind of defeats that purpose and the history of it and it doesn't make any sense and it doesn't do damage so I honestly don't see why anyone would want to use this weapon
Thats cause u need to learn how and when to use it, you cant go in and wave around like u can with the glaives , i transitioned from the spear, it has a longer reach so you dont have to position yourself too far infront, in a pile of soldiers u can use the blunt attack sets to knock them back, the pierce is for you to follow up attacks
The pike plays more like how I thought the spear should have played. The spear plays more like a staff, with lots of twirling and sweeping attacks, rather than the fast paced stabbing attacks the pike has.
this looks like a complete opposite of the maul, instead of being super slow, almost always out of stamina from charging abilities, you chain your skills and are highly mobile. i somewhat hope now they will rework the other weapons to catch up to those fancy moves
i love the pike because you can jump behind enemy shield walls with Q and then knock the shield wall down with T and Q or you can attack ranged units behind it
You are a really good player and I love watching your vids because you help me learn conqueror's blade and it's really fun to watch you. Keep up the good work!
In general, I find pike to be a great dueling class. The way it is played is definitely more flashy than any other classes in the game and that’s a big plus. I wonder how well the ultimate ability does when charging into a group of meta charging cavalry like tundra yeoman to provide CC in the unfortunate event that unit CC isn’t available. In a way, pike is even better at cracking formation than short sword.
i feel like the pike should be mained with piercing and armor over anything, since you have to be up close to attack your opponent with it. I also think the barbarian class group for your team would be a better choice as what to use when attacking because they can assist you up close if needed.
when u use the wandering dragon for a big group of enemys it is very good since you can kill allot of enemies and you get behind them for some charged attacks
*you said 75 to agility and 25 to strength yes ? thats mean you have totaly 100 skill points . tell me please how you have 100 skill points ??? When every body have only 72 points but you have 100*
I'm not really sure what it is the devs want this class to be. It can't really fight on the frontline but it's also really lackluster as a flanking class since it can't burst units down quickly. I get they want this class to be a combo class that has flexibility in every situation but it honestly it falls short in almost every category. Also for a pike class i expected some sort of anti cav damage bonus or an anti cav skill like a brace, that's litterally what pikes so far have been all about in-game
It's not a European 21 foot pike. Its a Chinese fighting spear that has its own name. my games didn't want people to be scared of Chinese words and they certainly couldn't just call it a spear so they just gave it a different name that has to do with long pointy stabby things. Don't look so hard into it.
Most OP class right now. I hate how they roll out of combat like nothing happened, no one can stop them. Im at 1100 hrs played and this game is more unbalanced each update. Season Units and Class are godlike and this will be more stronger in the future to force people pay to skip long long time boring ass quest, Unit Trees almost trash and Cav everywhere, charging through full upgrades bracing halberdier like kicking a ball. And anyone tell me why i see many people full healing in 1s and get no falling dmg ??? is it a bug or cheat ???
I myself found that this class is absolutely insane. I've been trying it out as fast as I could get my hands on it. What I think makes it broken is the blunt damage it can deal. Pair that with a pike specially crafted for dealing blunt damage and you got yourself a mass-exctinction weapon dealing 4k damage on average :O
My thoughts, I feel like this class has a really high skill cap, and also requires a major adjustment in terms of play style. It's almost like a dual blade in terms of opportunistic play style. Watching your clip, you still seem to play pike like it is a high armor front line brawler. I think it has medium armor, up to three escape vaults, and long range melee attacks, low damage and low cool downs, because it's supposed to be a hero that harasses the enemy, deals consistent (but low) damage over time, and backs out or repositions before getting hit himself. I haven't been able to unlock the pike yet myself (and even if I did, all my leadership is on heavy armor) so I'm just going off what I see so take it with a grain of salt! I am wondering though, how this class would perform when played 'like the devs intended'. I suppose I would run units like paladins, palace guards, imperial javelins. Units that get stuck in and keep everyone busy/engaged so you can poke from behind or behind friendly units. That lunging stab ultimate also seems nuts to finish off low health enemies in a surprise attack. Something else I was wondering, is can you use the dodge offensively? Jump over and behind the enemy, attack from there, then vault out? That would open up a lot of cool possibilities.
I think to some extent you are right yes it probobly is more of a flank/ skirmishing type class more than a front line brawler, It's just quite a hard habit to get out of after playing poleaxe and glaive XD The dodge to some extent allows you to do that but it offers no stun recovery so if you get hit you can't use the ability
@@EvoLozGaming for sure! You've got hundreds if not thousands of hours of muscle memory working against you xD The dodge thing is disappointing to hear. I feel like the dodge definitely should some sort of stun recovery for it to be viable against heroes.
i have cleared capture points with using Cold Dragon where i killed 6 heroes at once with it but the downside is that Cold Dragon can be countered by blocking so its a high risk high damage skill. but however i do think the pike is a great class based on the movement speed,attack speed, combo attacks and damage. also the pike is a really bad class for anyone who don't wanna learn how to combo and also back away from a fight, the pike class is a really good hit and run type of class seem its super weak and you can get killed almost instantly regardless what you spec into. i have ran into a bug where the pike cooldowns are 6 to 8 seconds instead of 3 idk if anyone else gets that.
well, i can't play siege without heavy armour xD also, i'm back to LS/S, I think the new rune is good (heal hp auto from 25% to 50%) and i need test poleaxe with new runes too.
I almost asked you about pike last night(I told you I would tell zim on you cx) On a real note thank you I had no clue what to do with this class P.S. tell the devs to fix blood oath, when using it to reset abilities samurai March remains on cooldown.
Given a choice, which would you prefer, the Pike or the Spear? Is it safe to say that Pike is more focused on single targets like Dual Blades, whereas Spear is more AoE akin to a Glaive in their role (loosely categorizes) per se?
The spear has terrible aoe. Spear is a class best used for running down enemy heroes while on horse back. The horseback charge, mounted poke, dismount, and the burst single target damage of Dragon's Roar+Spear kick are best geared to sniping lone heroes. Not hitting groups.
@@onbekend7480 there were talking about bringing the game to next gen consoles in the future but I can see what you mean about the layout of controls may prove challenging. Hoping they are able to do it though as this game looks incredible and would love to play it on console in the future
Im spear player and compared to that ( tough on it ) the pike is good 1v1 veapon in direct combat since it hawe much biger damage output but it strugles in meat grinders and evasion because you cant role back like other clases but you need to use skill for that so its definitly more single target burst oriented weapon. While with spear its more for 1 vs group npc weapon. Since you use dril to get in centre of unit then folow with your " tornado/turn around attack " folowed by march foward skill to stop stunlock and role out while kick speart to kill steal low health hero OwO XD . On medium class armor you yousualy end up deep in enemies the point is that with spear you killing units , with pike you focusing down specific target. As for health jep it goes down quickly on both clases. " my take is i go with my points like 25% armor 25% healt 50% damage --makes one survive longer. Spear si combo weapon and pike too diference is in target preference. Thats my opinion on it
The pike seems like a weapon best categorized as "fine". The stab ult (cold dragon?) is very strong, and on a short cooldown. Which makes for the majority of the strength of the class. The rest of it is... Meh. The 3 basic "combo" abilities are underwhelming and hardly lend themselves to comboing with each other in any way. Of the 3 variations, one is the same as the basic skill, one is a single target lockdown which is kind of interesting and the last one is utterly useless. It's fun to do lunges and cartwheels but there's no meat behind the flashy animations. Feels like they should go back to the drawing board and make a new class that's actually interesting instead of just cool looking.
Evo can you help iv finished maul and want to do pike but i cant seem to be able to get out of gilded age. When I try change to dynasty it goes there but still on maul screen not pike .Please help thanx
@@alldayspaghette9311 idk man my state is 56 78 43 35 total 212. And his total point is 292. That brings us to 80 points more. The blizzard gear set give you 5more point to spend and where are the rest 75 points come from. From runes? That seem impossible.

Are you using the medium armor or the light armor?

@@usurparemagnus I’m not using pike, was just wondering, I’m a med armor glaive/spear player
The right click while on horseback knocks heroes off of their horse

Yeah I agree!
for me i really love it , i nearly quit this game but with pike i enjoyed so much, hard but fun for me
use sky dragon after using ultimate, this is my favorite skill because it cant be block and knock down enemy
I do know one thing about the Pike class, it is designed to annoy you to death.

You can also do for example, q, normal attack, e, normal attack, r, normal attack, ult, then q.

On a scale of 1 to 10, with ten being the best, how would you rate it, and for comparison, how would you rate the Glaive?
Pike 7 glaive 8
This is the first time i noticed that seasonal armor has different sets of bonuses lol
Green dragon does a ton of burst if you connect all of it. But its hard to connect.
Yeah I think thats the hard part often
Good stuff Evo, for me 100% agility for max damage and criticals. But everything is still in testing
Yeah i'm tempted to switch to max agility
@@EvoLozGaming cool cool, waiting for the video.
I feel like the pike class is made for me and not the spear or longsword since it is pretty fun playing it
Nice :)
What if you go full def built on pike then you can last a bit longer. The rapid attack speed can wreck up a lot of damage still
its kinda op right now ngl. the auto attack is pretty much perma stun and you can be in a ability every second
It's not auto stun, every weapons' normal attacks give you mini stun that you can always dodge roll away from.
@@yishan7107 yeah but its kinda hard. Besides, you cant attack until you get out of it.
