not for long, they are nerfing buffs and armor, also, defences will not stack after the combat rebalance

Out with a few friends driving the the Krayt Graveyard on Tatooine. All of a sudden, all are bikes go BOOM and a Giant Canyon Krayt appears from like nowhere. So off our bikes, and my friend Salporin, who is my apprentice as a Swordsman, got incapped, then he decided to kill the next guy, he did. Finally came to me, and I just tanked it and beat down its mind until it was nothing. I was examining it and its armor kept dropping numbers. Whenever my friends got up, they went back down, and they just ran and watched. So on and on, smashing in its head with my hammer, applying light bleeds, intimidating, and finally, CRASH. He's dead, and I looted a pearl 
But then the guy in my group who is Salporin, forgot his name, started saying how the pearl was his, and he keeps bothering me to give him money for taking it, even though I killed it lol. Anyway, there was my proudest moment as a swordsman, watching the giant krayt drop before my blade and hammer

we killed a elder just before reset, we were out in the open close to the stronghold and had less than a minute to get there and logout so we could get axkva at reset.....yeah logging at the stronghold wasn't the brightest idea btw. Well both my friends logged in before me and I log in to the combat music but no attacking so I know my jedi friend was done for as was the other a rifleman. I got logged in and managed my way through the initiates/rancor trainersand force powers being shot at me with a mere 400 Health and action, buffed up as soon as I got unaggroed went back and rezed them both then drug them out soI could buff them up too. By far not my proudest moment but I cant remember that far back...

awesome stories people
keep um coming.
oh, and ill detail probly my proudest moment:
I was doing missions outside of Anchorhead after a recent raid (this was back last august). At the time i had just mastered swordsman the day before and was extremely delighted, and thought i was the ub3r shiz lol. Anyways, as im going along i see the imp symbol pop up on the right of my screen as i get to the top of a mountain. I duck back immediately and hide out with some gubburs. the imperial on the other side of the hill was Jagermeister. He was widely acknowledged as the best pvpr on the server. this guy used buffs before people knew what buffs were. He beat bh/pistoleers with pistols/m doc, and not using any doc skills. he was awesome.
He killed a few mobs and started continueing on, and my first thought was "yes, im alive!". then i started thinking "he doesnt know im here, what if i sneak up on him". so i decided to give it a shot. hes on one side of this ridge while im on the other, we were basically running parallel. this continued on for about 200 meters, when i decided it was a good time to make the move. i cut to the left towards him. i got over the top of the ridge. there he was, laden in the first comp armor i had ever seen (40% resists lol, was awesome back then). so i keep moving closer, i must have been withing 20 meters.
then all the sudden my health is dropping, and he begins kiting. i start hitting lunge 1 lunge 1 lunge 1, but im still outta range (anyone who pvpd melee back then knows the old "out of range" issue, or at least how bad it was back then). i was about to die, i knew it. i was gonna have to put some more stims in my tool bar, and that time of non concentration was gonna cost me the fight, i knew it.4 more stims. lunge1. you are out of range.3 more stims. lunge 1. you are out of range. 2 more stims. lunge 1, posture change succesful (i had to get to 12 meters from him to get it to land lol). so then i hit him with a few area attack 3's to make him go prone (you could posture down people to prone back then) and started beating him with 2 hand hit 3. he gets up, and one stim later hes at full health. so i set him laying down again, and think to myself "hey, he cant heal his mind! i can try and hit him in the mind!" (never really pvp'd except for friends, and never been to the forums) 1 more stim (ham costs and he could still atack while prone), so then i start the head hit 3's. i mixed s a few area 3's in there to make him stay put. about 20 seconds later he was dead.
before the last few hits, i used my very last stim in my tool bar to live through my ham costs and his fire. he was buffed, and on moun gold. i didnt know what buffs or moun gold was. i beat him through the out of range issue. he was wearing comp, i was wearing 21% chitin. i beat him, the best imperial pvpr on the server.
Jagermeister, who had he rep of being particularly nasty, sent me tells right after saying stuff like "whoa" and "how in the hell did a swordsman just beat me lol" and "you surprised the sh|t outta me"
that was just pure focking awesome, and ill never forget it. well anyways, continue on everyone.

I didn't do much yet. But I killed 4 normal kimos today and some NS rangers last night. It is pretty cool with Scythe/PH.

I've done all that... soloing elders, soloing krayts, soloing the geno caves. All of those are a huge thrill each and every time I do it (just ask anybody unlucky enough to be in guild chat while I'm killing the acklay ) but for me my proudest moment in my rather long history as a swordsman was just last week. I was at Aurilia, looking for my last few pirates, when I noticed a group member (note: this was a pickup group. I didn't know anyone else there.) getting hit really hard, as he was a pistoleer and getting trashed by thugs.
I walked over, already had 2 thugs on me, pulled 2 off of him, and then pulled 2 more off of a couple other groupmates in the area.
And so, I saved my groupmates, they threw me a couple stims, and within a couple minutes all 6 of the thugs were dead at my feet, and one of them dropped a double dot long vibro axe.
It's nice to be able to be strong enough to actually be able to make a serious difference in a fight and protect people who otherwise would have ended up at the cloner

I have a couple.
The first was when the first time i soloed the geo caves. The second was last night agian in the geo caves, this time with a TK(not mastered yet)/MD and a TKM/rifleman. Well we get to the bottom, no ackley, the TKM's buffs drop so we start heading back out, Well the doc got killed in the first room past ackley, so its me and a buffless TKM. I'm still buffed so i tank all the way out. It was a good feeling when we made it to the top.
The next proudest was the day i picked up my first scythe for the WS.
EDIT: spelling

Mine had to be the first time I soloed and Ancient kryat. It was about 3 am and he was on top of teh hill to teh left of teh graveyard canyon. It took me almost 2 hours to take him (I was lucky I had fresh buffs). He dropped my first pearl. I ended up selling it for 10 mil. That was definatly the proudest moment as a swordsman.
