Swordsman can use Power Hammer (Blast dmg) at novice and Scythe Blade at xxx3. both are awesome weapons.

however, i've been thinking of going all melee, and this is what i have in mind: Master TKA/Master Swordsman/Master Brawler/Fencer 3000/Medic 0040. feedback anyone?
btw, Dodge only works when you're holding a pistol or one hand weapon, and Block when holding a pike or a rifle.
Thats similar to what I'm doing now. I'm TKM/MasterSwordsman/4000 Fencer/4000 Medic. Although I may drop a box in Fencer, because with all 4 I would be over the cap for melee defense and it would be wasted skill points.

Btw I forgot to ask if i can use one of those new scythes that i see all the time at fort tusken? is it another death watch bunker drop? and also, I was at the geonosian lab the other day and looted a bunch of sword cores. should i give these to a weaponsmith to make me some good weapons for getting novice, or should i just sell them? I think I also have the schematic to make the geonosian sword thing too.

When you say new scythes, do you mean the ones that look like a big sword that covers your hand, and if so then yes you can use them at swordsman 0003 i think, itd probly be better to ask the swordsman forums about swordsman things tho since this is the TKA forum. The cores depend on the stats as to how good they are, most of the time though a weaponsmith can use the schematic to make better ones than you usually loot, but sometimes u may loot a really nice one that is better than ne weaponsmith can make, if youd like, yes you can have swords made using them and they would probly be pretty good swords.

Actually, they can also use 2 handed axe, 2 handed curved swork, 2 handed Cleaver, and Hack executioner.

I'm currently 2040 BH 0042 Pistoleer,I was going to go BH/Pistoleer/Carbines but I was finally convinced to go melee since I plan on taking Jedi missions.
Im trying to decide between Fencer or Swordsman. Swordsman attacks mind which in my opinion would be the lowest stat, but I know a few masterfencer BH and no swordsman BH. So is there any reason NOT to go swordsman but to go fencer?
Thanks.

Fencer would have a bit more defenses which would come in handy.
Swordsman is nice for general PvP.
Prolly won't go wrong with either.

swordsmen is slow, fencer doesn't do enough damage. Do TKA instead because it's fast and does a lot of damage since your opponent is unarmored. TKA is one of the few professions where getting master is actually worth it lol.

I don't understand why there arent more swordsman BH's, if you can afford a good scythe it is nearly as fast as fencer, hits much harder, and you can hit the mind pool. I remember taking a jedi out in 3 hits with my 3.6 speed power hammer when i was a master swordsman.

What's better for killing Nightsister Elders? Not doing any PVP. Got TKM.
