Swordsman Archive

i live in alaska

Cynically based on the USMC Credo:

This is my hammer. It is not a sword, but it's the highest-damage weapon I can use, so lay off.

There are many like it, and a lot are *much* better than mine. My hammer is my best friend, because a career of looting has taught me to even distrust God when it comes to loot rights.

My hammer, without me, isn't useless, but is probably worth a decent clip. Without being speed capped to USE my hammer, *I* **am** useless. I must swing my hammer true. I must hit harder, faster, and more frequently than the jackasses trying to steal my kills. I'll show those n00bz. I will...

My hammer and myself know what counts in this game isn't the swings we take, the swish of the impactor and handle, or the noises we make when the aforementioned idiots steal our loot. We know the max damage is what counts.

Before the Devs I swear this creed...and occasionally swear *at* them, too. My hammer and I are the defenders of my bank account. We are masters of every mob in the game.

So be it, until there is no enemy, but the CURB!

Bow down to the might of the Mokk Rockshaper!

Rifleman deal damage better than us i'm afraid to say. normal T21s can do to 727 damage with Pup easily and enjoy that nice heavy AP with the additional 5x SS2 compared to the 4x 2HH3. Jedi also deal better than us.

Swordsman/Brawler/Doc + Rifleman/TKA FTW!!

lmao very true. Thats why Rifelmen tend to mostly camp Nyax thats like the only one of the high end mobs that I have had trouble with because of the high damage I take being that I have no Range Mitigation. Other than that they go down quick. I'll admit they have the upperhand in PvP though I have never beat one yet but they have all been very close fights. Damn Stun damage.

I beat rifleman all the time, with a 40% stun helm 30% stun armor, and a 48% Stun PSG. The jawa's don't have high enough dmg to make a big dent in your HAM pools. And when they try to kite you just use lunge 2 on them, and if you don't have it lunge 2 then most likely you have master doctor. If you do have master doc then just use your high powered stim E's to heal when you get really low on health. Taht should take care of rifleman in PVP unless they are 64 meters away, then just run away and try to double back around them, and then proceed to take them out.

What about hose of us who are rifleman swordsman? See this is where you get owned. Me a speed capped rifleman love to use my rifle. BUt i do also love to use my sword and i'm sorry to say but being both professions rifleman is WAAAAAY better and this is not a matter of opinion its a matter of facts. Facts that show that i will out damage you with your hammer any day. As for me with my sword i've have yet to be speed capped.

Ok

You might outdamage us swordsman...but with only your rifle, will you outlive us?

Line one of the credo-I am a swordman, I can solo any mob

Can you solo a Nightsister elder using just you rifle? YES

Can you solo the gorax using just your rifle?YES

Can you solo an ancient krayt dragon using just your rifle? YES

You might get the fight started with a few conceal shots, but you have to pull out the hammer at some point or another

Line one of the credo is where you get owned

Do all the damage you want, 9 times outta 10 you'll die before you get the loot

I'm not dumb enough to be a tank for kill stealing rifleman.... i just wait until the mob kills them then come in and finished the job

It's called rifle tanking. If you didn't know intimidate and warcry still work while holding a rifle. So heres the strategey. Stand back 64M away from the elder and start popping off head shots at her and hit the intimidate while she's running up to you so she'll be intimidated when she gets close. Then you just keep her intimidated and shoot her in the head a lot and if your stats get low you warcry peace and heal up then go back to killing her. Same goes for the other two.

Never killed a gorax but a friend of mine told me just to use that same tactic and soloing an ancient krayt is a complete waste of my time.

And you're a fool of course if i get into too much trouble i'm going to pull out the hammer and start owning with that. 9 times out of 10 I live and 9 out of 9 times i get complete crap for loot and waste a half hour soloing anything. So you know what i say about soloing? Screw soloing sh!t bring some friends and you'll have more fun. This is what we do if we loot anything good and none of use can use it we sell it and split the money but if one of us can use it they get to keep it. Soloing is stupid and a waste of time.

Evidently no one's looted (or if they have, haven't reported) looting a single pearl and/or crystal on TC with the "fix" implemented.

Either it's still broken, or this is the biggest loot nerf ever.

Anyone seen any improvements on TC after they said they were going to return them to "normal"?
