Swordsman Archive

today a master tka asked me to kill him so he didn't have to walk back to the city, the guy unequiped his vk's .. i did duel and just used head hit 3 on him to kill him, i hit him twice and i was dead

no specials on his part and no vk's .. try to tell me tka aren't overpowered

Two hits to you.. Let me see if I understand(think im confused).. Ok.. So Mr. tk has no vk's on and isent trying to kill you. So, he/she hits you TWICE and kills you...OH.... I get it......

hiting u 2 times without specials and without knucklers is gonna do you about 50 damage. Im going for both master swordsman and master tka at the moment and im pretty sure swordsman does more pure damage. No kd dizzy, but bleeds and powerhammers make up for it.

I saw a TKM use the force to kill someone once!

Seriously though, a TKA's damage vs. a master heavy swordsman in the situation you described would be about 80 damage a hit, maybe. Unless you were on a pixie downere,I doubt he killed you in two hits without specials and without VK's.

Its hard to say they are overpowerd if you dont have more info then a story.

Things like your HAM, combat logs etc.

the way i read it.. he usedtwo head hit 3s.. thats what? 250 dmg in HAM costs along?

in the 5 or so seconds it might have taken to use those attacks... thats 10 attacks the TKM got off... (swordsman cap at 2.0 secs, tkm at 0.5)

i used two head hit 3s that hit .. and they did like 1/4 the damage in the log .. and he never used specials or vks and incapped me before i could hit him again, so i swung probably 5 times and i hit twice and got incapped

and ot make the guy about ham happy i have 900 health and action and 1100 mind because i am master doc

Well you are obviously lying. A teras kasi didnt do that tooo you, and you are full of crap. Its not possible unles you are leaving something serious out or there was some kind of bug.

Lesson to be learned !!!!

DROP you uppa damge power hammer with -30ish range modifier - and get a new one with less than -10 range modifier, THEN you will start hitting again

If you are getting 3 misses out of 5, your useing the wrong weapon.

I cry'ed alot, when I had to put my 189-605 powerhammer in the bank, but the -32 range modifier was to much, missed 1 out of 5 attack I think (not Master yet). Now I use a "low" damage, speed sliced, -9 range power hammer, and I love it. Health HAM / speed power up.

I think it is possible for him to die to a TKA like this - 5 special attacks with your power hammer, without powerup, 115x5 = 575, and 5 attacks thats a long long time, lest say he had 1000 health, thats only 425 damage the TKA has to do within the 5 attacks of a Power Hammer (again if it has no powerup, that a loooong time)..... I think it could be done.

..edit

He only has 900 HAM - so thats only 325 damage the TKA has to do within.... what ? 20 sec - easy, even with out vk and specials.

I sometimes hit for 900 dmg in pvp with headhit, problem is; if it is against a tkm and he does his kd2 and warcry, you are boned. I'm always buffed but seeing the red 126 float over my head for each special sort'of scares me, I mean; how the heck can you be a swordsman w/o being a doctor or always having doctor buffs. opps off the subject..

Swordsman of equal skill should own a TKA if there was any basis to reality to this game, which of isn't the case since it's Starwars. Even in a SW universe however, especially because of the technology aspect,unarmed should have a great disadvantage against an armed opponent of equal skill.
