Swordsman Archive

But.. but.. but.. its an AXE.

Looks cool and all but .... SWORDsman kind of IMPLIES a SWORD right?

Best weapon i have is a big hammer.. now if i was a CARPENTER i could see that or if i wasa HAMMERman.

Nice looking Axe though. Think i would rather have the scythe, at least it is a sword.

Ok, that' the real name.

Warning!!! It is quite possible (or even probable) that this is NOT the final version of this weapon!

Here are the details thus far:

• Lootable single use schematic from the new Mandalorian Dungeon (Death Watch).
  
• Currently requires the exact same stuff as the Scythe.
  
• Is a 2h weapon, no idea at what level you get proficiency.
  
• So far it looks to be a copy of the Scythe, only as an axe, and coming from a lootable schematic.

Here are screenshots:

The stats (as far as I can tell, just Scythe stats).

Now it's a GUESS that the weapon currently has placeholder stats. I will try to get this confirmed ASAP. Nothing is set until this goes live. Perhaps the intention is simply to give us a lootable scythe or perhaps this is just unfinished content. Note that this is probably a minipublish for AFTER publish 8 so it has a long lifetime yet to go. For now I recommend ooh'ing and aww'ing at the pictures and awaiting more info.

Enjoy!

StGabe.

I love it. Buut..

Care to fill us in on why we're gettin a scythe clone when we're still warping out of our chairs..?

Looks like one of the artists at soe was playing Diablo 2 when they drew this.

Stgabe i can never seem to get to see the screen shots as it keeps saying network error this only happenes with your screenies

its a REALY nice weapon indeed and TANK you DEVS for giving Swordsman's new weapons (atlast)

I'm glad we get more weapons, but why another kinetic weapon? why not give the brand new axe blast dmg? I think we dont need more kinetic weapons.

someone agree or disagree whit that?

You guys should be grateful you are geating ANOTHER new weapon. There are some professions that haven't recieved any new weapons yet, even on test center.

Macross Starchaser, Eclipse, Phoenix Reborn

i don't grovel for the devs and the bones they throw us.

come on!

YOU PAY FOR THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! expect the best, don't settle for crap.

Yes, I never post here butI do read a lot of the posts. I don't understand all the complaining and whining. I mean every melee profession is limited to two damage types or less. Nomelee profession has a heavy AP weapon and only pikeman have medium,where as everyone of our weapons is medium AP. We have two very nice weapons that do different damage types with pluses and minuses as they should have. Powerhammers do tons of damage but are kind of on the slow side on my server they are about 5.4 spd pre slice. Scythes do lower damage but are much faster around 2.6 spd on my server. Several of my friends are melee professions. Mostly TKM or Fencer. I'm the only one that can do damage to almost any target without switching to a weapon from another profession. Take fencer....their damage output for the most part isa joke. They don't have a single AP weapon. Takes them forever to kill any high level mob. Sure they do okay PvP with stun batons. But even against someone with 39% stun armor and 80% blast or kinetic I'll still outdamage them. TKM....Yeah nice defense, powerboost is nice to have, and the kd/dizzy is cool but light AP and only kinetic damage??? Better stay away from any high level NS and don't even think about the Corvette. All in all we are pretty hooked up. COB doesn't seem to help any but that's kind of hard to test. Oh and for those that mentioned HAM cost....Are you kidding me?? What's that? With doc buffs and brandy there is no such thing.
