please. learn how to use the profession. we rock in pve. if we could solo the dwb there would be absolutely NO reason to ever group. grouping isnt emphasized enough as is.
also, we rock in pvp. if you disagree, again, pls learn how to use the profession.
btw us getting dot weapons might help YOU but it wont help the GAME.
dot weapons should never been introduced, but us getting them will not solve any problems.
First I'm not talking about PVE of course we are the best at PVE. What I'm talking about is going up against someone with melee mitigation 3 and high defense with a full set of mind buffs, and when I mean a full set I mean 5000 mind or more. To top that most people have 80% kinetic armor or 80% base armor (well most well accomplished pvpers like me) so when you are doing such little damage due to those factors their mind just regenerates as fast as you can hit them . pvpers must suck on your servers cause this is mostly the case on mine. I still hold my own when it comes to fighting ranged players but when im fighting a fencer with dots and all above factors are in play the dots win the day every time. I am also speed capped with a 448 max damage scythe and a 670 max damage hammer. I also have both 125 ranged and melee defense and a looping COB macro and I am part of one of the main imperial pvp guilds on my server.
With all that said dont tell me to learn the profession because I'm a veteran pvper and swordsman. And I have been a pikeman and I dont care for it cause you have to rely on dots. What I'm trying to say is that dots are a main part of pvp now weather your a pikeman, combatmedic, rifleman, pistoleer or fencer. I agree dots should have never been implemented in the game but you cant ignore them now everyone has them.Have you ever seen a looted VK with a dot? And how many swordsman weapons do you see with a dot on a regular basis?
I have been playing this game since launch and I have been a fencer, pistoleer, bounty hunter, rifleman, pikeman, commando, smuggler, combat medicand I am currently a master brawler/master swordsman/teras kasi master. I just think teras kasi deserves a static spawn loot drop and and it couldnt hurt to give 1 to swordsman either.
I wasasking if you guys think we deserve a static spawn. I wasnt asking for some nub to tell me to learn the profession and call my post a "bs post".

"pvprs on your server must suck" is a lame arguement. you never know. i too am part of one of the biggest rebel pvp guilds on my server.
against meleers- intimidate, stun, and then knocking them down via dizzy/posture change (most ppl have crazy defense vs kd, and then they eat the thaktillo) and then whacking their mind away is usally the best way to go. most pvprs on the server have 90% armor, and most all of them use brandy and ent buffs, and youll still be getting their mind down.
btw whats the accuracy on that scythe?

i shouldnt have made that comment ("learn your profession")your right, i dont know you. but from such an idiotic post i could only presume. ive been a swordsman since the first week this game came out, and have pvpd with it ever since i reached novice swords back in about the 2nd or 3rd week after release. maybe its because i came up pvping when melee had to deal with the out of range issue and when there wasnt a defense cap and we didnt have the scythe that has made me what i am today in-game as a swordsman. ive always adapted, ive never dropped swords no matter how bad it got. the period we are in right now is by far the easiest time weve had, and therefore it pvp nowadays seems like a cakewalk. tarquinas doesnt have a huge pvp population but the majority of us arent dot whores. dont need to be. of course we have our share but most of us arent.
I have been playing this game since launch and I have been a fencer, pistoleer, bounty hunter, rifleman, pikeman, commando, smuggler, combat medicand I am currently a master brawler/master swordsman/teras kasi master. I just think teras kasi deserves a static spawn loot drop and and it couldnt hurt to give 1 to swordsman either.
were you a bh back when bh was uber? were you commando when it was uber? were you smuggler when you could spam panic shot and last ditch for the easy win? were you fencer before the scatter hit nerf? were you combat medic before the resistance buffs and area heals? were you a rifleman back when it sucked or only when everyone realized how awesome it was?
again im making assumptions but whatever, i dont care. swordsman should not get dot weapons because when dot weapons get the nerf we will not be affected nearly as much as other prof's. also we do have some dot weapons. the gammorean axe with 50 mind disease. stack 2 of those and i guess it wouldnt be too shabby. we have the grooved curved sword with the 100 (round about at least) health bleed. we have mordran that drops the sometimes insane dot hammers.

I have looted dot vk's and dot swords weapons. The swords come from erran sif or however you spell it. Vk's come from enraged rancors.
