Swordsman Archive

Its strange how i see people who say "O, go kill pickets ... go kill bas nitch". Honestly, take this advice ... go to ENDOR .. just kill any creature over 8k ham .. If you are grouped with a pet you will get betwen 4500 to 5000 xp. I mastered HS in about 8 hours of play there ... I averaged a little over 600k xp per hour.

EDIT
Just taught of something ... stay away from mites and mereks ... unless you can heal disease.

PS: I am being serious .. there is so many mobs .. so close to each other that you can fight alomst continualsy

Enjoy

I prefer soloing AT-STs... soo much fun seeing how sad the owners get when one person kills their 9,450 faction point pet.

Couldn't be more true Lao...Endor has been my stomping grounds for the past two weeks, and i've leveled faster in those two weeks than hunting on Dantooine and Lok for about a month and a half...Ravenous Roba Stalkers...takes 3 head hit 3's to kill one..and they give up i believe 4200-4400 xp...its ridiculous! But hey..shhhhh.. I like the non laggyness on Endor keep the xp secrets on the DL!

buffed.....anything

I did the scythe quest while buffed, and for the heck of it I tanked the Krayt that spawned on me. I was doing fine against it, but had to log off when I had it down to 2/3 health. I hope to try again and completely finish one off.

Yah, i think the only thing that can kill a swordsman is the swordsman by spamming specials.

If you sit back, with auto attack on, and do whatever you need to do to initiate state changes with the mob your fighting, but you're not mashing specials against big mobs, you'll win... it's as simple as that.

If, however, you're spamming specials while fighting a krayt, expect to lose. Every time i've been incap'ed or killed by a mob, it's been my fault, for either not paying attention to my HAM when executing specials, or being a bit to brazen about taking on mobs with one of my HAM bars (usually mind) too low.

So the question isn't what we can solo, it's more of a "how long does it take to solo?".

HTH,

Here is a twist to your question: How fast can you solo?

Since quenkers tend to be the leveler's choice for missions right now, I was helping keep a guildmate alive, who was working on Marksman Pistol III, escorting her through some quenker missions. After she logged, I decided to do a few more just for some quick cash. Yeah, there are higher payout missions, but quenkers are pretty quick kills, so I figured to just run out a few times and pick up a little easy pocket change.

Since I no longer have need for XP (my template is set), all I was interested in was killing the lair to get the cash. Naturally, that seems have an implied challenge in it. That is, how quickly can you complete the mission? To be fair, "completing the mission" should include killing any critters that spawned in the process. So, I decided to find out.

The best I got in the few tries I did last night was 35 seconds flat (including the lair and all spawned critters). I only did a few, so I am pretty sure I can beat that time. I only used "The Hammer of Death" last night and I do not have any extra speed mods beyond Master, so I am gonna try it with some other weapons next time. But that was kind of fun.

How fast, in the geo caves,,,,

Crazed geo, 4 seconds

Fire Breathing Spider, 30 seconds

Acklay, 5 minutes (I had to kill the damn klikniks every 30 seconds)

Alert Droideka - About 5 seconds with 97 speed and an acklay hammer

You guys say you can solo anything (sure, buffed, 80% Kinetic, Muon and Brandy ect). But come onnow, are you really telling me that someone here has soloed the Dark Jedi Knight or Master (350k and all the trimmings)?

I was Master Pistols/Master Fencer, I had all the stuff (buffed, 80% etc...) and was spamming CoB like billy-o, and the DJK put me down inside a minute.

I am currently going Carbines/Heavy Swordman/Brawler - are you honestly saying I can take the DJK? Or is the tone of this thread a spill over from the 12 year old, pizza-fedBH l337 forum?
