Thread: MHS asking others for pvp advice
if i where you i would drop some doc just keeping 4.0.0.0 (for healing poison/disease and remove intimidate/dizzy) (dont wory about a CM anymore ) and i would take some def from fencer (the best ones in the game atm) you should aim at a base melee/ranged defence on about +100 atleast and get tapes for +25 to both.
get entertainer buff on both primary/secondary mind stats. Use brandy and ahrisha for more regen and 0 HAM cost doing headhit3, i prefer using 2brandy,1canape,1ahrisha.
And when fighting high KD resist profs like TKA/fencer, hit them with hs3 until you get a dizzy to stick and then use lunge1 insteed of lunge2 (use lunge2 vs ranges opponents) becuase lunge1 is a diffrent timer so KD food wont count.
And since like in this case you where fighting tka i wouldent bother about geting KD:d once in a while because their dmg output shouldent affect you if you have melee mitigation3 and a good comp
hope it will help, ill see if i can catch this post tomorrow if you have any more questions

a few things on that...
you need 4-x-4-x to cure disease and poison
he doesn't have lunge because he's not a master brawler
oo i forgot about the intimidate part 
Well a thing worth adding is that if your in to PvP swordsman is not the best choise, fencer is the melee class to choose if you want to PvP all day. But as we all know fencer is useles in PvE except for tanks, only a swordsman dont need a tank
And also always use a 34%+ stun comp with 70+ base. I prefer not to use the composite pants in PvP since he only thing they will hit (if they hit the legs wich is rare) is action and that aint a problem, so i reduse the Encumb a bit. Also always have a psg (personal shiled generator) ready. They actualy do work some times 
.being a regular pvp with master swordman and master brawler i can give some advise
First of all know your weakness, KD defense 25, and lower posture defense 10!! some KD food do make a huge differences as it been said before.
Intimidate is your friend, so do this as you run in , Warcy stay out of your attack range and intimidate, you'd be suprise how many times you can lower posture and dizzy people with areaattack 3 after intimidate hits. not only that it cuts down thier kd/posture defense down so yes you can even KD TKM or master fencers with a few attempts
Center of Being dont go fighting without it! its our only life line defensively.
Know your weapons and learn to figure your enermies armour. Some people have kinetic armour but had it slice on base effectiveness so it end up with more blast resist than kinetic resist, so keep a tab of how much damage you really are doing (i am capped on speed so it dosent matter to me damage per secounds is same to me either way) but for you it can be another life line.
Remember the lower posture and KD timer and most of all remember its a different timer so if you are master brawler you can switch between KD then lower posture on your enermy. if you dont have master brawler use your lurng and area-attack wisely.
As swordman in pvp you need to be good with basic fighting and that means do all of the little things and it will all come together. possibly one of the hardest proffession to bring out its true portential but damn its fun when you do and you will be well rewarded ( i like to think so anyways )
Good luck in pvp
cant seem to stay out of this threadSome good advise there, althought i disagree with speeder parking i always manage to fine the enermy do that dont have to tell you what i do when i see it.
We're not exclusively for fighting melee and i would say that we can kill range fighters in half the time we can kill melee fighters but only if you are smart to know when and where. 30m is withing attack range all you need is to get in to 20m for lurng and you're in. more than 30m forget it.
as crazyl said use your enviroment again this is part of playing basic well. all i said before and crazyL are good advise (except for the speeder thing take it at your own risk personaly i opted for terrain neg) i can only give so much advise. as swordman you need to play the basic things well, and that comes with alot of pratice and expirance but it all comes together once you remember all the must do and should do.
