Swordsman Archive

So i like to hear everybody's thought and expirance with swordman in PvP. I am master swordman/master brawler and ever since the damage miragtion patch we been put down to less than useless status in my expirance. From before i could do a 1500 mind damage now i am hitting 140-200 average with swing rate of 5.4-5.5 which is of couse rediculas when other range fighters can TKA can do more damage per hit. Problem is our so call most powerful weapon has such huge damage range it just hits the bottom of the damage pile instead. I feel the damage migration made swordman and pikeman in pvp down to near useless level. not only we have to get close but when we do all we end up doing is tickeling them.

Let me know hwo you feel or if you find any helpful moves in pvp or even against the odd pvp gang up.

I would guess that swordsman is good for pvp because mind hits are extremely lethal. What would make a swordsman even better is if he was rifleman too. always aim for one Pool, and you will prevail with the right tactics.

i can hold my own usually. if they try to kite me i just hit /follow /burst really only problem i have is with tkm but hey, look on the bright side. in raids we are good for takin down turrets, better if you are master brawler- 20 sec delay a tower and go to town.

I think most people use the 2H Cleaver for PvP as it has a tighter damage range, good speed and still Ar2.

Not 100% sure tho, still a Novice but I think that is the general consesus.

DADDAR!!!

I heard you sold your daddar. Or at least thats what the guy who play'd daddar for a while told me. You were the first tkm on bugfin if I recall correctly. good to see ya back

Yup mindhit is a swordman best friend specaily when you hit them after a knockdown from master brawler. i do carry a altery of weapons with me. 1 curves sword sliced for speed, 1 clever, 1 power hammer sliced for power, 1 power hammer for speed and a Night sister lance just to disease with.

I still feel that the damage migration has power down us alot since our power hammer has such huge damage range and slow as a slug. Not entirely too bad i guess but it sway more to Tera Kasi advantage since they have unarm damage mod that account for most of the damage. I'll try using the cleaver more, although it is my favorite alternative choice already (specaily since i am trandoshan dont like the huge action cost of curve sword) We still have our uses in big battle go for the healers =P, at least that wasnt taken away

Not sure why, but I don't like the cleaver much. I have the two-hand axe, curved sword and power hammer hotkeyed. I use the two-hand for dizzy and KD because it's so accurate. If someone's hard to hit I use it also. For some reason bleed hits are always more accurate than damage hits. Curved sword if they're not so-hard to hit because it's a little fast. I hate a player in the head for 900 with the power hammer the other day, one-hit kill. That made my day.

i've heard that we don't get our armor piercing bonus on our weapons right now and that's why the numbers suck. But, i don't pvp enough to prove it.

I don't know about all this but I was just messing around with Alasia tonight and she's a TKM. I pulled out my speed sliced PH just to see. Powered up to I think 500 something dmg. My hardest hit I think was 199 and that's coming every 4 seconds abouts. I pulled my cleaver I think it's 300 something with a power up and it hit for the exact same thing, 150-199. I don't know what's up with our damage. She was hitting me for 250 or so every second. I didn't offically test all this crap this is just what I saw when I scrolled back through the combat pane. I just know back in the day I did a lot more PvP damage and now that I want to get into PvP big time it doesn't look very promising. I wish I didn't have to master brawler to be good. I don't see every TKA running to master brawler just to be able to compete. This is not a TKA hate post btw. Like I said Alasia's one and I don't want my girl nerfed or anything Just bring us up to speed.

You lost 90% of damage output because of *MITIGATION*? That's stretching the truth a slight bit, wouldnt you agree?

ive never had master brawler , and rarely lose

Powerhammer,toss a halfway decent speed powerup, challenge yer local TKA, headhit3, and you've now burst their invinciblity bubble, and broken their will to go on. Great ability

one word

suck
