What is the best way or creatures to hun to grind through swordsman?

High level factional missions with an AT-ST attacking the base. This way, you'll get 2-Hand Sword XP, FP and over 8,000 credits per mission. There are always 5 NPCs who'll gladly hand over 3k XP.

That's only about 15k xp per mission.
You might also try either Gurks on Lok or Pikets on Dantooine. Get full buffs before doing this, though.

draogonets on tatooine also give you about 3k xp and there are usuall 8 to 12 of them in a mob. Better be buffed with good armor though. Also, Bull Ronto's give 2.7k xp and they are plentiful....i got two nests next to each other with about 12 each...I got about 85k xp in 15minutes!

one thing i will add...I don't know if you all do this..but as a cat that usually solos i picked up novice medic and carry med and would paks...for mob killing...this is a must! You can heal yourself...also i have plenty of moun gold so i don't have to worry about mind. If you are just grinding a good suit of Ubese will go good...if you got the funds, however, do composite.

Get Doctor and Musician buffs as well as a full set of Kinetic Ubese with >60% kinetic protection and you're all set.

Don't grind it, enjoy it...

Thank you for all the idea's.

Best thing i did was get buffed grab decent armor(doesnt even have to be over 60%) take some muon with ya for good measure and enjoy the beauty that is fort tusken

The best way to grind through swordsmen fast:
1)Most will disagree with this...but master brawler. asap.
-with this you can kd then delay a target for 20s as well as intimidate them while they are down. while intimidated when/if they get up theykk hit for a lot less and less often

2)get novice medic at the least
-i consider the reasonning behid this self explanitory. having 2000 medic would also be nice incase of the unlikely event that you get a bleed.

3)get some good kinetic resist armor....i HIGHLY suggest ubese OVER composite. especially if you plan to only PvE while you grind.

4) use your curved sword....that got me most of the way through..i RARELY used my powerhammer except if i pvped or just to see how i was doing
- this is because of the lacking range mods....i dont suggest using it until you AT LEAST get master sword techniques

5)climbing the trees- techniques,defense,offense and finese as you can.
`-as you climb up techniques useing your weapons you become more and more accurate not to mention you get the tools you need to grind it out and the best part of swordsmen...the mind hits/bleeds.

6)combat-open with a KD followed quickly with a delay then use mindbleed1 twice folloed by mindbleed2 once..i read somewhere that it stacks....and let me tell you it does. then lay it to them with as many highest level head hits as you can. once i got through master techniques i went thru many lairs untouched simple bc i played it smart.at lowerlevels bleed em however you can then kite em on your vehicle...or if you can stand your ground.

7)what to fight. if you can pull it off...take your atst to bela vista on correlia and group with it to get the lvl50 sharnaff missions. i know you cant use it for combat but with a buff...and smarts you wont need it. i got my last box....master offense in 3hrs doiing this...not to mention 12k creds a mission. learn the spawn patterns also and watch for the bull sharnaff as they will all attack if they notice you attacking any other sharnaff nearby.

8)get as much of a buff as you can....no matter how crapy. some buff is better than no buff. but always get the best you can.full buff...all HAM. and carry muon,angarian fishak,and ruby bile...not sure if the last name is right but its a drink like fishak that adds 100 to mind. fishak adds 500ish but not always. i suggest poping the muon first then the drinks just to make sure the drinks outlast the muon so you dont get cuaght of guard too bad with the downer. with those 4 things(buff,muon.fishak,ruby) you can get your mind well up there.

im sure i left some stuff out.

send me a pm and ill asnwer any question you have.

took me about a month to grind thru but i kinda took my time and did not know all that i do now. had i, i can honestly say that this mastery would have taken me no more than 2 weeks if i played like i normally do...about 5hrs a day if not more.

""If you must have armor then all you really need is a helmet. ""

why not a chestplate?

You guys gave some real good tips, I will be putting them to use starting tonight!! Thanks everyone!!

Last night I created a "Let the a$$ kicking begin macro" and it looks like this:

/ui action toolbarSlotXX; (where my CoB is located)

/ui action toolbarSlotXX; (where my posture change is)

/ui action toolbarSlotXX; (where my warcry1 is)

/ui action toolbarSlotXX; (where my head hit 3 is)

Repeat the head hit 5 times.

Walk up to a tortur, press my macro key, zoom out my camera and enjoy the fight.

Also another one that works great for me

/ui action toolbarSlotXX; (put a muon gold in this slot)

/pause 570;

/tell floyd MIND BURN IN 30 SECONDS!!!;

/pause 20;

/ui action toolbarSlotXX; (put Fistak in this slot);

/tell floyd Fistak consumed, keep fighting!

With this combo, i can take out 2 tortur/picket/hurton lairs in 7 minutes.
