Brawler Archive

I know this is technically a Brawler skill but every Swordsman has to get 2h Sweep1 in order to become a Swordsman. I read in one of the fine posts above that 2h Sweep1 is a useless skill. Is it really. I dabbled with the Brawler part of Swordsman about a year ago and I'm going to be a Swordsman again soon. I remember using a skill that was area attack and I thought it worked reasonablly well. I never became a Novice Swordsman. Looking at the special attacks I was wondering if 2h Sweep1 was this skill? Is it an area attack? Does it have value at the Brawler level of being a Swordsman?

Ya it is a Brawler level skill. It's not an area attack, but it is a posture down attack. 2h sweeps 2 is an area attack that is also a posture down. Both are basically useless, because 2h area hit 3 gives the same results but is also can give a dizzy. Neither are too worth while as attacks though. Lunge is a much better skill because it also is a posture down attack but it has a 15 meter range. If you were to get master brawler too that would be an even better skill because it is a knockdown attack and has about a 20 meter range. Hope this helped.

It looks like Sweep1 is a posture down attack, that's all. No pool attacks, no AoE attacks, nothing great.

I think the AoE attack you are thinking of is one of the AoE's that you get at 1/x/x/x and 2/x/x/x, although personally I prefer to use the spin attack that you get at 0/0/1/0 for doing AoE dammage.
