Thread: Swordsman an answer to all your questions
I am speed capped in pike and sword, acc. capped also, but dwarf nuna's are my bane. Should I get janta buffs to take on durni's, dwarf nunas, and kreetles?

i have medic 2/0/0/0 and first aid doesnt help very much, when i have a bleed on me, i have to use first aid like 3 or 4 times before it stops the bleed, and by then im dead. i have tried tons of times to solo elders, and i havent lasted more then 2mins. my health/action just drops big time and im master swordsman/brawler some fencer and tk with medic 2/0/0/0. and one reason i become a swordsman was to solo things..what am i doing wrong!?!?
heres a hint.........warcry.
And since I didn't see you mention it, one more hint (it's even in the guide- but VERY important point)......stack intimidate on her and never,ever let her become unintimidated 
Lotta good info in the mini-guide- though for newbies trying to solo elders I couldn't recommend food enough (double-stacking brandy should go without saying), get yourselves some Pikatta pie (helps avoid some blows), and Synthsteak for damage reduction (with the filling and short duration it should only be used when necessary though), and if you are a medic, make sure you are using the very best stim-Bs that you can find. Neutron Pixie for emergencies is also handy but should only be used as a last resort (either when you realize you have to run or you're close to beating her but shes starting to take a big bite of your HAM).
My template of preference= MD/MHS
