Place your bets with me and nobody block the back door.
LOL. Just a sec I'll be right back, I just have to get a stone knife from the bazaar. If it loads that is.

Tsion - why is it less of an achievement what he has done than what you or I have done? He is killing stuff you are killing stuff - his guide is a great way to kill stuff. What is wrong with that?
I'm not saying his getting Master is less of an acheivement. If he earns the required number of experience points, he gets Master. So be it. So will we all if we so choose to.
What I said was that his guide, which he clearly indicates is written by a power gamer, should be taken as a guide to power gamersand won't be very useful to the average novice swordsman. Despite the fact that it was written by a so-called Master Swordsman.

Sounds to me like he wants to play smart and you want to play stupid. Also could be that he wants to roleplay a character by not dying and you just go out and die repeatedly because this is just Super Mario to you.
I disagree Pecos. Look at the following. Reggi himself states how lame his tactics were. He doesn't say he was playing smart at all.

When I started playing swordsman, I found the tusken camp. The tusken camp was cheap, easy exp that required absolutely no skill (which is prolly the reason there were 39385858 CH's there). Well after they nerfed the spawn rate there, I had to go out and make some real experience/money.
I don't know how to do quotes so bare with me.

Um, isn't that exactly what I just did? I found a way to cut down down time, and reduce the number of times you get beat on. I don't understand your reasoning.
Tsion also continued with: ". . .from folks who actually did more than exploit or killsteal or find the biggest fattest slowest moving easiest mob to kill"
Wait, we are melee, who have to stand toe-to-toe with mobs in order to do dmg, so what does their movement rate have to do with this? Also, they hit pretty hard and were yellow/even to me, so I don't know where you're coming from when you say 'easy.' They don't assist, that's the only thing 'easy' about them. This method also works on marauders and pretty much anything on Endor too. I kill bark mites that have 12.5k hps with me and my doc. They assist and are not easy at all.
Ya, Swordsman is easy to get master (compared to a professoin like rifleman) if you know how to use your moves. Ones you get the AoE attackes it is xp heaven. I powerleveled at the tuscan fort. When you are low level you can run into the room with 6 commoners and use a few spin attacks and kill them all for like 1k a pop. (don't remember exactly how much.) Use our area attacks to your advantage. Instead of hitting one tuscan, hit 3 of them for 3x xp. The best xp comes with a medic because then you can spam you specials and rape everything around you (tip: make friends with medics and tip them well). Once you get up the chain a little, you cando the whole tunnel with just 1 medic with you who has stimC's (that is ifyou canget there really late or early whenno one is there.) Spin 1 is extremely useful because it lowers posture and doesn't destroy HAM. Trust me, when fighting 4 raiders a Warlord and a Captain, you wantto keep them on their bellies or on atleast on their knees. (remember to have medic standing by so you don't kill yourself) Posture change, although not knockdown, is extremely useful. Especially area posture change. And Area 3 dizzys also so you get a chance of knockdown. Use sweep one when soloing a hard creature.Also, if you have marksman buddies and are fighting an NPC who has the ability to pull a rifle, have your buddies attack first. It is extremely easy to 1 or 2 hit mind kill tuscan raiders and 3 -5 hit kill a captain who has a gun pulled. Yesterday i did a 9.5k Head hit on an imperial storm trooper who had a rifle pulled. ANyway's, just have fun

Hope you take your time to send me your opinion, and some info if you mean i have don somthing wrong
Tnx anyway
You are using the 2 handed curved sword i assume? Yes, that does bring your mind down pretty quickly (unless you have 1100/800/1100 mind stats like me lol). Before i migrated my stats to "Doctor Stats" i just used a power hammer because it hits slower and doesn't hurt your mind that much.
