The curved sword is too powerful in my opinion.. and i'd know, im a weaponsmith!! (and i have another accountwith a swordsman on it)


The Cleaver is way too slow and even with it's high wound and good min damage, it does about the same as the curved sword... just alot slower and it'll kill you faster than you kill your target.


The Vibro Axe sucks, worse than the cleaver (in just about all ways except HAM costs).


The Two-handed axe = a newbie weapon till the Two-Handed 2 skill box


Heavy axe (blah)


The all mysterious Scythe ............ Does not exist (I haven't seen one and nobody I know has either)


and the Power Hammer - Cant evenhit the ground you're standing on. (imagine... trying to show off to anewbie with a weak foe they cant kill... and end up taking about 20 minutes to finally land a hit, ie: a diseased nuna )



Boring it is to make the same thing over and over for the same people, as it is for armorsmith (COMPOSITE!! YAAAAY!!!!).


Just my opinion of the swordsman's weapons.

Im totally down with HUGE swords. Big honkin SCAREY LOOKING mean heavy bladed weapons...

Zan-batohs...
Cloud busters...
No-dachi...

Gigantic, overly-huge, impossible to weild, super high damage, slow, big hitting yet accurate man-killers.

Some Actual starwars examples are in the comics "TALES OF THE JEDI: THE SITH WAR" graphic novel pages 9-10(a mandaloreian AXE) ANCHIENT SITH CRYSTAL SWORDS ARE ANOTHER, from "tales of the Jedi: GOLDEN AGE OF THE SITH" theres also cystal axes and other stuff in that one.

Checkout the WHATS YOUR VIEW OF A MASTERSWORDSMAN? SOMETHING TO ASPIRE TO...
post of mine. Theres great examples of good swords we all want.

More damage types... STUN STUN STUN.... some Electricity, heat... WHATEVER.
Anything will do with our lack of variety... we only have BLAST and KINETIC now.



-->May each note i now play be a black arow of death sent straight to the heart of all those who play FALSE METAL...
EEEEEYYYYEEEEEEAAARRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!

As far as Star Warsy swords i would really like to see something akin to the Sith Blade that the old Sith Masters used to use when fighting Jedi, in a game mechanics sense, i would put it at master swordsman. Give it decent damage at or around Scythe blade or Powerhammer damage, give it a counter attack bonus as well, this can be done, we have seen it in themepark loots. May Be a pipe dream but a guys gotta have dreams right

I like to look at swordsman as the melee equivalent of rifleman... slow, hard hitters...


Thus I'd like to see a slow, hard hitting AP3 weapon.


Also, since there's an overall shortage of cold weapons in the game(only the SG82 and cryoban grenades), it'd be nice to see a cold damage sword
