Three Swordsman is the charm.


Drashka, one of my three alts on the Test Center is on his second Holo run. The first was Master Medic, which I must say makes the Swordsman grind so much easier. 5-6 swings with my Power Hammer and I pop myself with a Sitm D. This allows me to solo Feral Banthas as a 0/0/1/1 Swordsman for 1k ish XP a pop, while killing the banthas on the first hit, if I hit them. I highly suggest getting yourself some Two-Handed Melee speed skill tapes, or what I am currently working on - a set of Low HAM Chitin with Skill Enhacing Armor Plates. All I can say is, when I'm done gathering Encumbranced sliced Chitin, I'm going to have a set of armor that has a total of +20 Speed on it. , not to mention the +16 Accuracy, +6 Evasion, and +5 Counter.

Mine said smuggler which I was already well into doing. I found that kind of cool but It doesn't really matter since once I master DE and Smuggler I'm not giving either up.

I've got swordsman too... though I'd love to hear how you're leveling up on that matter matey. I'm still 13 boxes to go and it's slow going. Fun, but slow.


(though even at novice I'm whacking things for several K damage... wonder what the future has in store)





Doctor buffs. Moun Gold. Really nice set of Composit Armor. Speed sliced power hammer with a powerup( health reduction/Speed up ). Goto Lok get 8k Gurk missions 3k each kill 4k for the nest.


I'm 0-4-1-2 now and moving to harder game. Gurks are easy xp. I could tank 3 at 0-1-0-1 and only needed to pop 2 moun's to do a whole nest. At my current skill I can do the whole nest with 1 moun with 2 miuntes to spair. Mind bleed and head hit with a nice power hammer will take a Gurk down in 3 - 4 hits.


Doc buffs are key though.

Wow I've taken this thread off-DE But cheers to all of you with your advise on this one. So far I've just been enjoying my nice kick-bottom two-handed sword and Fort Tuskan. Also using my DE abilities to offer free surgical droids to those docs that heal me repeatedly and/or buff and rez me. This seems to garantee that a doc is usually always following me somehow


The tuskans usually provide 800-2000 xp per tuskan and there's always people to back me up if I run into trouble, like last night. Was downright scary what happened. (For those of you whom I've told the story to, fraid you'll have to sit through it again. I just found the entire experience amazing).


There were about 40 people there in 2 groups. The group I was in was raiding all down below in the caves while another 20 or so people were up top clearing out the buildings. I happened to wander upstairs to give my spice sickness (acursed muon!) some rest. As I sat at the gates I noticed some bigger tougher tuskans suddenly appeared on the side of one of the buildings and started beating up the players upstairs. Quickly I shouted in group chat to get out of the caves as they were about to come back in a second wave.


Most the group rushed back up top but 5 of them got caught down below as suddenly the entire map became one large red blob on the map. We heard them start screaming over group chat one by one for medics then doctors as we all leapt up to meet the rush of tuskans storming the front gate.


Took us a good 5-10 minutes to battle back and retake the gate. I then proceeded to slowly push the group forward, clearing out the buildings on the sides so we wouldn't be hit from behind, then leading them down into the caves to go rescue the fallen comrades. Slowly we started cutting through this massive wave of tuskan death lords, savages, ravagers, and other things I don't care to remember the names of.


As we just pushed forward into the lower area where the bodies of the first group were, I got whacked with a bleed shot and my health dropped to 1 point. I attempted to pull back from the line but got whacked again and dropped near the back. As I lay there I watched as 10 more tuskans spawned up front and started cutting down our rescue team one by one.


It was then that a doc ran up and threw a quick stim on me. I leapt up but then watched as my health dropped back to 1 hitpoint as I was still bleeding profusely. Deciding quickly that I wasn't going to be much more use to them and more a liability to the docs, I turned and started heading back to the front gate and wait for the bleed to wear off. As I ran, I saw another 10 tuskans appear in the tunnel behind the group and just start flooding our rear players and the doctors.


It was at that point that the few remaining people in the rescue party turned and started following me up the tunnels. Tuskans were jumping out left and right and taking people down as we ran. Just over a half dozen people cleared the top spirals and the door in a mad rush towards the gate.


Stopping at the gate we turned to look if any more were going to make it out. It was at that point that the buildings respawned and almost all the tuskans in them rushed out and stormed the front gates, cutting down the wounded few that were left. Again I turned and started running, still with only 1 hit point.


I finally stopped with a couple others a good half-click away from Fort tuskan and made camp. We just sat and listened to everyone on group chat reporting where they were and asking if there was anyone left that could come help them. Out of the 40 that went down into those caves, only 10 walked out. and of that 10, only 4 of us survived the final assault on the gate.


Now that was a night to remember. And if it wasn't for the holocron I wouldn't have such an amazing story. So some good has come of them, at least

First: Master Doctor ...Managed to do it without dropping MDE, but had to gut everything else, including MA.


Second: Master Scout ... Hardest part is I'm now out of apprentice xp after the last one.
