Swordsman Archive

First off, it's a flamberge, not a claymore. It's German. That aside, after a lot of experience with the West End Games RPG I think I can safely say that there really aren't that many melee weapons—particularly two-handers—in the Star Wars universe. Anything we get is likely to be a new invention, so why not get something we're happy with instead of trying to find other game inventions that are no more valid?

Reguardless of what type of Medieval sword it is the point is there are already swords in the SW universe, they are in KOTOR. Why not just use swords that look like them? It's a two handed sword, it's in star wars, it looks futuristic, so why not?

Hmm it posted half way through my message...

Ok I know what you are thinking. "Suva you big freak!!! 300-350 damage is KrAzY, you Nutjob!!" but think about it, it's still 150-200 damage less then a Power Hammer, the thing is it will CONSISTANTLY do more damage then the Power Hammer AND you could change your armour to counter it's damage type, thus reducing it's effect in PvP if you are smart. Isn't that what PvP is supposed to be about anyway? Playing it smart with your weapons/armour/template??

I feel it's obvious that we need a HEAVY armor piercing weapon. We are heavy swordsman. Rifle have a heavy ap in the t21. I believe we should be better at dealing out damage in elite PVE, this would help us accomplish this. I'm getting very sick of losing out loot rights, when i'm grouped, have max speed mods, over +20 speed and +10 acc attachments, a hammer with 745 max damage, and am grouped with other players, to ONE RIFLEMAN. This is ridiculous. The swordsman stands there and tanks, and the lone rifleman comes along and steals a kill from far away, many times after my group has already started.....

Bah, didn't mean to get off on that tangent, discussing a pet peave, but think about it, what is truly holding us back, in the area we are supposed to excell, is the ap. We as Heavy swordsman need a heavy armor piercing weapon, give us this, and who cares if it's kinetic, stun, blast, whatever....

okay i started this post cuz i just want to see a futureistic sword tat would be 3 meters long and be as wide as a wookie.

making this weapon Huge 2-handed sword. that would do more damage then a power hammer. by ether using ar3 or being ar2 with more damage, and also a diffrent damage type on ether the ar2 or ar3. and make it a bit slower like 1-2s

just want to see a blade like that in the mastery swordman box cuz. A it is a HEAVY sword if it is 3 meters long it is going to be definently aheavy weapon which our class is really about. Doing lots of damage to armored and un-armored oppoents using Heavy weapons but being slow while doing this. i think it would definently fit right into the mastery box of heavy swordman

i think demon fox is on the right track as long as he means the zanbato from samurai x or gut's sword from berserker. at the highest level swordsman should be able to swing a massive sword like that with ease. also they should get rid of the axes. redisign all of the axes to be swords but still keeps the stats.

There is only one problem.....the graphic for the sword can't be too big. How would it look if you were running, and the sword kept hitting the ground and going through it, or going through the cantina roof when you are listening to the musicians?

Besides, it would take 3 men and a boy to use that thing. Just stick it on a post in the ground and push it in a circle.

by three bladed i mean it should be kind of in the shape of what i did with the \|/ below .
