Swordsman Archive

While it would be cool I think that would detract from Pikemen. It's sort of unfair to their profession to ask for the same skill for us.

Lol, if a pistoleer can whap someone in the head with his tiny little FWG and knock him down, I think we should be able to KD as well...since we're using a maul capable of delivering bone-crushing blows and all

ya every profession should have a kd, what they should start doing is giving more def vs states so that it wil be harder to kd a master then novice.

I would rather see something more interesting than a KD like a disarming shot or a stun/blind attack or something like that.

There's a KD in master brawler, if we put a KD here then people can drop master brawler like a bad habit, which although is great for players like myself who don't have the spare skillpoints, is possibly unbalancing in the bigger picture.

Plus the "Area Knockdown" has always been the one move that Pikemen have to make them moderately intriguing, even to the powergamer If other melee profs had it, Pikemen wouldn't have jack unique skills to draw people at all - they're the area attack experts, while swordsmen are the one-on-one, super-damage king of the melee world.

That's all IMO, of course

i rather us have a blind attack, then a knockdown

Yea I cant see the point of all these posture changes if all you can do is make then kneel, KD1 = Kneel KD2 = Kncokdown

Well 2handed lunge 2 is a kd, you just have to get master brawler to get it.
