Swordsman Archive

Hey guys, My primary is a Master WS / Master Artisan, and if you can get me some Ancient Rancor Hide I can make you a shoe that will kill any Jedi you come across, problem is no one has the Cert for it

I'm getting CH tocomplement theswordsman skills, not replace them.The pets tank for me, while I do most of the damage.So far it's working good.

Master heavy swordsman (and 1-3-1-4 creature handler since the KD / posture change nerf)

You're still better off as a CH/Pistoleer or CH/Fencer, assuming you were planning on being something like a 4400 CH.

With a high level pet whacking on something for 500 damage per hit and mostly hitting health, you'd want a profession that can do special attacks against health. 2hhit attacks tend to hit health a lot, but actually have a health shot will make the fight go quicker.

By doing mindhits, you're not getting the full advantage your pet offers for helping kill stuff.

All that said, it looks like I may have to wait on my plan to drop swordsman. Hopefully some of these "combo" attacks will be multi-profession. Wouldn't it be cool to have a combo attack that allowed for rifle shots followed up by sword hits? That's what I do anyway, and it could make Rifleman + Swordsman a contender for the other templates (like Creature Handler + Anything).

i'm 0/3/1/1 swordsman going for master.... also 4/4/0/0 medic and 1/2/0/1 ch going for 3/3/0/3 ch

i'm done with medic as muchas i care for but i plan to at least master swordsman and get 3/3/0/3 on ch

ch and swordsman really do help each other ALOT along with having 4/4/0/0 on medic

pecos if im fighting both of you i burst run to you and hit you for 1.5-2k thanx rifle then i turn around an dkill your pet =p regular rancors on dath ive killed real quick just use head hit 3 with power hammer hell just mind hit 2 and 1 and forget about the stupied pet heh

i solod a untrained padawan does that count? ^_^ and a force senstive crystal hunter =p and and and the list goes on

I think you're smoking something. I'm not sure how many hit points these "regular rancors" have, but it takes me a good 30 seconds to kill a Picket on Dantooine, and they only have 10000 HAM. You're not hitting a rancor for 5000 damage with a powerhammer.

Burst run is only useful if you plan on getting in a fight once every 10 minutes. When I'm circling Anchorhead, I get in a fight about once per minute. You burst run and kill me, and 30 seconds later a novice marksman with a CDEF pistol kites you to death because you already used your burst run.

Tall stories indeed...hehehe.. But if it makes him happy.. Im just happy about the changes coming..

I can get a mob's head bleeding for 3-5k, and then start in on the head hits.Things die plenty quick.Or if the mob has less ham, I can take advantage of the pet's damageby just doing standard attacks with a hit2 or 3thrown in every so often. A pistoleer/ch or a fencer/ch could do the job quicker? Maybe...but I'll quit the game before I take up any profession that lacks AR2 weapons.

PVP will always be gimped for melee classes until the devs do something about us not being able to catchand hit a ranged player. If I was to rely on my swordsman skills only I would die every time against a knowledgable ranged player.

Things change quite a bit though when I send 2 Graul Maulers after them or 3 Grand Wrix (which can outrun burst run).

Swordsman skills are AWESOME in PVE though.

Why are people so obsessed with PVP anyhoo?

Blades - Master Swordsman, Master Creature Handler, Novice Rifleman, Novice Medic

That is reasonable, but Im a master doc. I dont have the pets to send. But I do agree we are good in PVE. I only have trouble with those kitting storm trooper missions. My cowardly gurrack has helped me some there though...

i dont believe uve never lost in pvp, bull**edit**. unless ur a neutral and duel novice artisans.
do u mean one on one?? cause thats more believable. and u must not have seen ANY battles or EVER been part of a raid. never lost, lol, u wish. it doesnt matter how many gurrecks or grand wrixs or rancors u have out, if u walk into anchorhead or bestine u and ur pets r gonna get mauled.

o and u say "ive never gon to those towns overt, or i dont go into opposing faction towns."
so ur hunting ppl around the towns, and its like u and ur 2 or 3 pets fighting 1 person, lol, i hardly call that PLAYER VERSUS PLAYER.

Well I was trying to stay positve but it is clear people play the game differently and their perspective is one sided. I really think the proposed changes will help us though.
