Forcepike vs Vibroblades

Simple discussion here. Why does duel vibroblades not even come close to a single forcepike as far as damage in combat? They’re both within the same skill level, but one is a unique skill to a specific class, yet is pretty much worthless while the other is open to both classes and dominates. I’m not saying one should be better than the other, but I am saying that they need to be closer…or the “mastery” level of them needs to be higher skill levels. I have a hard time viewing a tier 4 combat or BHer being a “master” at their selected weapon class. It seems that forcepikes were fairly useless for a while, then got beefed up, but it went too far and far exceeds vibroblades.

I don’t see an issue here. Forcepikes have been nerfed pretty hard and vibroblades can be dual wielded and only do a little less, if not the same.

Forcepikes have a higher avdam, which is the reason for the damage discrepancy.

Cronlan, if you fight someone with vibroblades that is using a forcepike, you’ll see the difference. There really isn’t even a reason to use vibroblades, unless you wanna throw them.

This is an issue we’re very aware of, and a fix is in the works.

3 cheers for Ralen & co.

Might want to hold off on the cheers until you find out whether the fix is just to nerf forcepikes further.  Personally, I vote to nerf all weapons so unarmed combat becomes viable and I can make my Kushiban Shaolin monk.
