Pike

Pikes are weapons used by the Uruk-hai, the Dwarves of both the Iron Hills and the Blue Mountains, the Half trolls and Rhudaur Hillmen.



Statistics
Pikes have twice the reach of swords, but only swing 65% as fast.

Crafting
The Basic Pike recipe is like that of a Dunlending Trident, in that it is two sticks in a diagonal line with three of the appropriate material in the corner (Iron for the iron pike, Uruk steel for the Uruk pike, blue dwarven steel for the Dwarves there, normal dwarven steel for the Iron Hills variant and cobblestone for the Half-troll pike. All pikes that belong to a specific faction must be crafted on their corresponding crafting tables with their corresponding materials.

NPC's
Currently, regular Uruk-hai, blue dwarf warriors, dwarven warriors and Half-troll Warriors may spawn wielding a pike. A pike in the hands of an NPC retains its long reach, so keep that in mind when fighting pike-wielding foes. Usually, your best bet when fighting these foes is using a polearm of your own, such as a Spear, Battlestaff, Lance, or similar weapon.
