Swordsman Archive

im a M.sword/M.riffleman ... ive been owning in PvP (riffle helps that..and so does a JAwa ion) I can stun/dizzy with riffles and posture change with sword for them pesky TKA that rush... I brought down a BH eyeshot spammer the other day with flurryshot and let him get nice and close and then stuck him with lunge1... rocked im...

If your not happy with JUST M.sword (like me) try rounding it our with other professions. I strongly recomend RIFFLES or carbines (they actually have good status effects!)

i have tried pvp a few times but couldent do anything. i don't have master brawler so all a person has t do is run away from me, thats it i can't do anyhting to stop them.

LOL, I feel your pain. I am a MASTER PIKEMAN, MASTER BRAWLER, TKA 2/3/0/4, FENCER 4/4/0/0, SWORDMAN 0/0/4/0 and Novice Medic.

Having lost the ability to Warcry2 like I used to I am very worthless, but..........I have NS lances that can apply poison. In fact I have a Kunga Reinforced staff that has a mind fire dot too.

Hmmm, maybe I should drop that Fencer crap and get the Swordsman speed and accuracy mods now that the def stacking is nerfed. That way I can put a poison dot, fire dot and bleed on the mind. That would work I think.

Man you are crazy M Swords rocks in pvp. The only class that I can't beat is Fencer (cant never hit the guys) Rifleman is 50/50 but everything else is cake, well except for CM but hey I dont call that really dueling. Anyways, TKM's have to be the easiest for a Swordsman to beat, they can't dmg you eat your +xx Thak and Intimidate and bam their lying on their back for 100 secs.

Mastering no 1 profession will make you rock in pvp... Combining multiple professions is what makes you strong and able.

I will admit...

...PvP consists on my server of charging into battle and dying from Head Shots from a stun gun and a sniper DB.

swordsman on it's own ain't great in pvp really, one on one in a duel i can beat most ppl but thats different from a battle. bu then most other profs are no where near as good in pve as you if you want uber pvping go rifleman/tk. if you do an other combat prof like carbinner you will fare better cause you'll have ranged mitagation and (and will max out counter attackwith carbinner). but as a mhs i just don't use armour anymore in battles and use my scythe to dizzy posture change b4 dying to help out the rest of the force

LOL ya I suppose, if your a wookie like me (no armor grrr) pvp is kinda hard... however I'm a 2443 HS and I friggin love the damage i do. Especially with a 1.9 speed scyth (altho it only works great against non kinetic armor.... and wookies lol). HS rules.

I don't pvp much, but the other day I was fighting a master fencer(only i think), and I'm a MHS/fencer 4/4/4/0/TKA 4/3/4/4/MB. We both used pretty much regular specials, with no loot weapons, armor, or any state effects. When we started both of us used our CoB. Swordsman for me and Fencer for the other person.He(she? maybe)was using a stun baton(guessing normal dmg slice), and I had a -5 acc 570 dmg powerhammer w/ speed cap. I mainly just used headhit3 and they were using scatterhit2. Ham bars were also reasonably close at 2.8/2,8/1.8, and in the two fights w/o armor I just barely won. He took down all of my Ham bars pretty evenly, and his mind was almost gone when we stopped. I noticed that I was missing ALOT, and he was hitting almost every time, but for somewhat less.

Make sure that you use your most accurate weapon in PvP. In most cases that is the two handed axe. You may also want to have a weapon smith experiment on a high accuracy power hammer rather than a high damage.

Another tip would be to master brawler and make sure you have at least some medic skills ( I suggest Master Medic).

It doesn't do any good calling people idiots. I remember when the MHS was really a lame pvp class. I had all these so-called MHS gods come on here and tell me how much I sucked. I found out that Wookiees were hadicapped. A guy was saying how he soloed 2 AT's together when at the time it wasnt possible...(4 months ago).I found out later in all cases they had ranged help. My point is that it is really discouraging when you miss something and your frustrated and people tell you how much you suck. Be helpful..

I do agree that MHS no longer sucks in PVP. You do have to watch being in the open though. I clobbered a 4-3-3-3 Tk yesterday. He had 80% kinetic armor. I used Blast. I had 2000+ buffs, 2 Brandies and Steak. I didnt lose any health. I used mind bleeds and center of being with a wookiee roar. I cant wait to try the new Wookiee armor.. I felt so sorry for him that i healed him... Hehe. Try to stack the odds in your favor and remember the PVP Vets have all goods. Learn from it and ask questions and you will do much better..
