Thread: Why isn't MHS flavor of the month?
I agree it must come down to PvP because I started pistoleer and ground swords for a holo and am deffinatly keeping it its area attack, and med armor piercing weapons just kill. I had 6-8 tuskens all in the brutes, warlords, cheifs, cateforyetc and killed them all in a few seconds (buffed with 80% comp) the only one who could get any xp from this was a comando with a flamethrower.
I can take down atsts withmind hits with a little strategy and timing. I am going to pick up master bralwer further down the road.
WHO NEEDS DEFENSES WHEN YOU KILL EVERYTHING IN TWO HITS!
PvP: If a MHS goes up against a rifleman, he looses If a TKM goes up against a rifleman, guess what, he looses unless its started 5m from each other, and in that case, a MHS would win also, if you are smart about it.
PvE: If a MHS goes up against 8 Tuskens, he walks out with very little wounds If a TKM goes up against 8 Tuskens, he walks out while he had to pop a muon, and get rid of the wounds he just got from the Tuskens, AND he runs into the MHS taking out the next 8 tuskens he had his eye on because we freakin rock!
you might have the luxuary of 80 kinetic armor.
i do not.
i can't take hit after hit so my few hits can go in.
and im not really talking about PVE.
pvp and pve require diffrent levels of skill
To all those who say the defenses suck . . .

Now granted MHS isn't the best in PvP, but if you know what to do and when to do it, you can win. Going up against a TKM, you'd better have some armor, mind bleed 2, lay there for a few minutes while he eats his mind away, get up and mind hit 1 will get em. But if you miss your first attack, i'ts your @@@
If you go up against a rifleman, easy enough done, better have yourself an ATST on guard.

because flavor of the month is mostly to do with PVP.
swordsman are pretty sad in pvp due to
1. damage mitigation
2. poor accuracy
3. insane ham costs
4. its really hard to hit the speed cap with our good weapons - and if you can't hit the speed cap you can't stack bleeds, or hit very well when you miss all the time
5. our defense sucks
6 our defense sucks, so even if you stack it with another profession you still have less than a master tk/fencer/riflemen stacked with another profession
yes we are good in pve, but i wouldn't say thats a big deal.
Insane HAM cost? Try +200 from Action every other second with unarmedhit3.
What kind of HAM cost is headhit3?
