Pikeman

Pikeman would balance out a good spears user with great skill caps, if it wasn't for the lack of reliable exclusives.
 * Every Pikeman exclusive, bar the Sorizian Lance, has bad durability. Spear Staff and Ice Glaive are synonyms for each other! Important spears can be maxed out easily as any other class.
 * Getting to 23 spears is required for Land Tridents (bad!) and Feral Spike (not amazing but easier to get than the other big spears).
 * Pikeman has surprisingly balanced stats, lacking only in raiding. Unlike the other 2 melee classes, it has average blades/martial. This means It CAN use Crimson Warhelm without any accessories. Magic is slightly lower than wanted (used for Lunar Scythe and Infinity Shields). Its one of the best classes in this regards.
 * Kit is a buncha noob stuff and some food.
 * Magic allows use of the Astral Spear, and Leadership allows the Vibro Spear to be used. Martial uses scythes and the Feral Spike.
