Lol! Ok fair enough.
But in 'comparison', Swordsmen are way overpowered compared to us (and several other combat professions btw). Two things come to mind that set them so far ahead of others, AP2 Blast Damage Weapon with high base damage (loot drop enhancable) combined with high level mobs having Blast as their lowest resistance far more often than ALL other damage types combined and the ability to target the mind pool with that massive damage capability (better damage multipliers too).

Agree totally, my opinion is that I think we should be brought up to their level, not them lowered to ours (especially in relation to weapon types to choose from, damage and just generalavailability) - after all, no one deserves that

no one deserves the pain of being bought down to our level. What would the world be like if swordsmen had it like pikemen. . . (play dream music harp theme)
The heavy cleaver would be AP1, the curved sword would be AP0 and a speed of 4.0, the vibro axe wouldn't even exist and mobs in the geo cave would have 100% kinetic and 100% blast resists. Acklay would spawn once a week and appear as a white unattackable dot (no wait that would make him a BH mark)
The scythe would be AP1 witha speed of 7.9 and have a damage type of flubber. The schematic would drop fromMace Windu(who's got 400K HAM,a heavy armor rating and 100% resists to energy, kinetic and blast damage and 90% to everything else and also there's the little problem that he's dead). The schematic would require loot drops that come from Darth Vader. Darth Vader has 900K HAM, a heavy armor rating and is 100% resistant to kinetic, energy, heat, cold, stun, acid, electricity, blast and restraint. He spawns the Emperor and Mara Jade to help protect him and a few AT-ST's as well. He's also only attackable for 5 minutes a month.
Ahh if only every profession were like a pikeman.

Lol! Ok everyone, I brought up nerfing Swordsman to get everyone's attention and to see just how few people read our forum. I mean even StGabriel (the Swordsman Correspondent) who used to read this forum has abandoned it as a lost cause. I mean there isn't one post from an exclusive Swordsman (i.e. non-Pikeman) on any of my threads. I mean in any other profession a nerf call of a different profession would've attracted the attention of at least some exclusive practitioners of that nerf-called profession to post. Here it's like 3 people in a sinking ship trying to speak as our ears hit the water line.
