I know it is a bit early to start throwing a real hissy fit, but I am getting totally depressed that I will not be able to have my sword/doc melee speed character after the CURB according to what we have been shown.
Sword/doc is a truly fun and adventurous profession and I have enjoyed just hauling around the galaxy doing different low and high end content. Without it, sheesh, I don't even know if I want to bea swordsman without doc backing me. Anyone having these disillusioned feeling about the whole situation?
I dunno, I am not one to complain much but should be looking somewhere else for our combat prof after this? Looks like BH got another reduction in skill points, as well as a few others.
Oh well, I guess we can (those of us who have done the grind) go play our jedi and turn our alts into little crafters. Thank god for adk'd sabers, lol.

Because you will not be able to have any FS and Swords/Doc.
Yes Panther. I too am pretty depressed about this and I finally just got a good hammer to go along with my speed cap. Guess it is getting close to time to sell it all.

Should be able to have doc/sowords and 1 FS line with the new SP requirments. But you got to rember that post CURB you may have to revaluate the doc profesion anyways. Personaly for me, a doc combo with any melee prof is a waste, only benefit being bufs when i want them. IMHO doc shines as a suport profesion and its hard to suport when you are tanking.

I was wondering about selling stuff but i just finally got a 711 un puped hammer as am finally happy with my equipment. I have a decent scythe as well so that part is satisfied too.
Anyway, if it comes down to sword/doc + 1 FS line (speed of course) I can live without luck & accuracy albeit a bit unhappily. It just seems ridiculous to force us to have useless lines. That is completely counter intuitive unless the somehow serve to benefit the profession. Just for my mental well being, I would rather see heightened SP requirements. BUt ours is not as ridiculous as TKM being forced to get a line of weapons, how lame is that? Anyway, as we all know, this is a MAJOR part of the CU and they will be pretty hesitant (or more likely completely unwilling) to consider how such SP holes will effect the mentality of the gamers and change it. Seems too ingrained in the final outcome.

if theyre removing buffs and making doc crafting obsolete, why not drop to 444x?

I am master swords/doc 4440/and 23 boxes of FS right now and can take anything in the game. My fear is not that I wont have enough SP but that I wont be able to take out high end mobs without a group. Ahhh well I am about to unlock jedi anyway, was gonna wait cause I love loot hunting with my swordsman, but guess I will do it now. I gotta tell you though, I will miss the hell out of this template. But like an overage boxer it is time for me to /bow out.

that is an idea, if the buff system changes, it may not be necessary to be master doc. I like being able to hit those 2800 buffs in a med city though. hehe

i think doc , musician, dancer and chef well all suffer. BE will emerge as the better crafting proffession. CH should make a comeback since pet willprob tank better than us lol. melee/doc might be completely useless after the CU since your max health will depend on your charater lvl and a doc swordsman might not get as much as a dual combat master. i really only see jedi getting the full 3k max health. long term buffs are capped at 10% of your max value and short term are 20%. i dunno if that affect more than just health but with 3k health you're talking a +600 health buff for a short period which isnt much with crappy armor. i'm looking forward to having to group again like back int he day but i also think melee will be just as useful as it was then. i'll probably be looking to sell my hammer too since all weapons will be either kinetic or energy base with a possibly addition elemental damage, blast wasnt included so i'm assuming it'll just be another kinetic weapon. i also see a new era of weapon crafting. all points put into speed and HAM cost then damage if there are any points remaining. nothing is set in stone but i'll be keeping my eye on ranged professions if melee ends up how it looks to me

I too can solo just about anything and that stinks. I, for one, and hoping that the CU makes this game challenging. As it is now, the game is just too easy.

Doc buffs = 10-20% after CURB, and 3k HAM will be the norm for master elite professions.
Master Doc =Not as necessary post CURB.
