It makes more sense to me that it might give you a chance to improve your *parry*. But if you've never used a pike, I'm not at all sure that getting critted by one should improve your pike attack skill! <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

That's a bit narrow. 'IF' you survived that pike critical, you would be in a better position to parry in the future as you may have learned some valuable lessons.<br>
<br>
Sorta like the Germans learning the tank game, they took a bit of a hit from Allied tanks in WWI, but they employed the lessons w/ WWII tanks, not other WWI tanks (and there was a WORLD of difference between tanks in those 30 years).<br>
