Swordsman Archive

well being master hvy swordsman and master doc, I solo'd a kimo today in no time and I was stunned. I did my two mind bleeds and about6 headhits and it died. Wow...My powerhammer is 4.6spd 609dmg with a 33%mind and 16%spd powerup.

Being a master doc ie always buffed, I hunt herbivore meat on Lok and I just run up to a gurk nest and use our aoe attack. I kill the nest and all the gurks around me w/o needing to heal. I do use that nice +500 mind fish food from master chefs alot.

Did solo lord nyax, he was a joke. Only thing that gives me issues are the one shot mind kills from npc's, not much I can do about that.

Actually I hunt krayts alot with my other char. I use feign death and bleeders, takes a long time. I wear armor and go buffed, they still one hit incap. So you guys honestly think you can solo a krayt with the hammer? Krayts have heavy armor and good resists. Lets say you have the best armor and and you are a master brawler (thats not swordsman proffesion if you haven't noticed) . If you honestly get the chance to come within range of the krayt without it warping on you and hitting you once, you could use that awsome kd, then use the 20 sec warcry and also use intimidate. Considering all of these work the first time without failing, I'd say you have around 21 seconds to kill it with the hammer before it gets up and hits you twice. Now, the hammers health cost is real high, and its a slow weapon but does alot of dmg. So you guys think you can burn through 28k of ham protected by heavy armor within that 21 second window? hmmm I wonder why the graveyard is full of commandos and ch's and notswordsman.

You guys are just askin' for the nerf bat, ain't ya?

Personally, giant worrts are about the only thing I can solo.

As a BH I can solo krayts without problem

Doc buffed, 90% composite, 530 scatter, spice, food, drink

I have it down to a science now

MASTERSWORDMEN / LOW LVL CREATURE HANDLER

i can and have solo'd everything in the game

from your common rills to your lvl 150 giant dune kimogila's

Earlier today in fact i was soloing a giant kimogila and a few smaller ones, well it ran, you know how they can take off and run for 100+meters on ya ...... right into a patch of 7 cor-sec's

well to make a long story short, 4mins later i had 1k of hides and stood staring at 7 dead cor-sec's

and no were not asking for a nerf, the dev's know and understand the power the sword yeilds, hence why they made it this way

(we may not own in PvP,,,,, but we own PvE)

Hey Kanuck, look at this!

I circled the important pieces in red for you. That's me soloing two Ancient Bull Rancor with nothing but Muon gold and a hammer. They're heavy armor creatures, in fact they aren't that much different from juvenile Krayt. If you really want, I'll go out and take a Krayt on and get you a screenie of that. Just because you think you're 0MG T3H PWN and you can't do it doesn't mean someone else can't.

Have a nice day.

I'm a TKM/Master Brawler.

A lot of the creatures you are talking about are being upgraded this patch. Regular Krayts have around 350k HAMs now. Juveniles have around 50k. Yesterday I saw a fight against a Dark Jedi Master with 250k and I fought against a Spiderclan elder with 350k. Both of them were force choking for a lot of damage.

Personally, with the new stats, I've solo'ed giant kimos and juvenile krayts. I can tank the regular krayts for a very long time but 350k is just too much for me to punch through solo. This is without bleeds, without doctor buffs, without spice. Just me going toe to toe and using what abilities I have. And I never landed dizzy on either.

Partially my successes are due to the new combat system however, with HAM costs being much less harmful and having damage mitigation.

The best thing I have done solo has been to win a fight against 2 fambaa. I didn't have any pets or buffs, but I was using 8% kinetic chitin and healing myself.

StGabriel, are the ham costs being fixed for 2hs?

I may have to spend some time on lok to get myself some kimo kills under my belt I've been spending time with the sisters and the rancors...shards and teeth shards and teeth! Too bad I haven't found ONE FRIGGIN TOOTH! And whats a wookie gonna do with all those shards? ahhh hahahaha!

Swordsmen get the same new HAM system. You can read about it on the TC board or on the Fencer board. It works out a bit different then you'd expect. For me it has been perhaps overpowering, for swordsman I expect it would also be very good.

Oh, one nice new soloed thing: A large turret. Definitely harder then a giant canyon krayt, but possible.

-----------------------

I soloed 5 nightsister rangers at once, nice outside spawn. All the nightsister guys in their little fortress, including elders. Easy.

coz you are a Jedi .
