Just before the big patch i started buying a lot of Swordsman stuff, Enhancers, Weapons, Armors... i spent over 4M for this profession, and now i have to drop it, i still have to pay much money, but without bleeding i can't have any fun...
I'm another Master Swordsman dropping due to a unfair nerf.

I think people are going a bit far with this. I was out last night dropping rancoors like flys with my mind bleed 2, then spam head hit. That doesn't sound like a weak profession to me.

Killing rancors is not really an accomplishment. Killing players, that's something different. That's people's issue.

I guess I can't really talk a whole lot, because I was a pistoleer that moved over to swordsman. But I've gotta tell ya, swordsman kick a lot more ass then pistoleer does...and I'm only a novice. I don't pvp at all, but for pve, they kick serious ass. If I can go and solo the mountain squill cave and only have to use a few stims...I do believe that I have found my profession

I just don't understand. I dont even use bleeds because I kill everything fast enough for them not to be useful. About the only thing I use bleeds on is Rancor and even then its when I'm fighting a couple of them at once.

Well i think that in PVE u can still get much fun (u can't kill powerfull mobs anymore but its ok).
Problems show up when u get owned from a non buffed Rifleman at 0 distance.
Eating 1 Fishak + 2 Glucose + Muon Gold, wearing a 90% full armor with 37% special resistence on Stun (helmet) , will not help much.
I was counting on my mind bleeding to win this match, but now without it i can's doa scratch to anyone moving, allways the same miss... miss... mss...
Swordsman cant hit while moving, and ppl don't stay there watching u. They keep moving.
PvP is one of the fun components of SWG, if i can't play it, **edit** the SwordSman, i'll go for something more fun.
Btw, i can just PVP with my Jedi for the moment.

Theres more to it then swinging a hammer my friend. Fact is bleeds caused alot of this community to get lazy. The fact is a lot of good pvper are that way because they understand the ins and outs of the class perfectly. Sure there are those that just spam knockdown dizzy. But once you understand your classyour moves your weapons you realize that those that spam just moves arent really all that good. Same with flamethrower etc. Im not going to lie and say swordsman are unbeatable, However they can be a threat.A Swordsman got alot of work ahead of them but i believe if they do research they will find how to currently play swordsman pvp. It can be done.A dead commando in full composite that killed this very afternoon can account to that.

The bleeds don't make too much of a difference to me, just a little longer to kill stuff in pvp. I am master sword, master brawler, carbineer 0042, tka 4004 and nov medic and can solo all the nightsister cave save the elder still.

don't use a cleaver on a doc, use the PH. doc takes so many skill points that they have very little defenses, even if they are a rifleman.
italion knows whats up, he has to try and hit people that have 150+ melee defense, tons of dodge, block and defense accuity. it just doesn't work even if you have a good, highly accurate 2hand sword.
