Thread: Master Brawler/Swordsman peeps, how are you liking pvp since the patch?
WEll for my part I can only say it sux in pvp as well as pvm to be a masterbrawler/swordsman now - they nerfed both our stance attacks and knockdowns which is 3 of our special attacks that has been nerfed - furthermore our are hit 3 should do blinds - well it does dizzy instead - and it seems to me that the knockdown/stance is actually also hitting even less times in addition so that is a **edit** nerf - they also screwed up out warcry2 which does not work anymore - I have not used it one time succesfully after the latest patch and I think I tried like 100 times - and ohhhhh as if they didn't already nerf our berserk - gaaaaah

They removed there ranged knockdown at master, and the regular knockdown now fail 50% of the time, and with the 30 second timer there just as useless as every other professions.
Pair all this up with the lowest damage guns in the game and no armor piercing and you have one hell of a worthless profession. I just dropped all my pistol completely, 2 million XP wasted.
From what i have gathered, if you want to PVP you have to play 24/7 so you can change professions constantly to whatever the flavour of the month is (which really means which profession Raph decides to play next).
I've had the exact same problems you all are talking about with PVP. It seems like I'm always getting knocked down before I even have a chance to get anywhere remotely close. I know that guns should have an advantage over a sword, but you would think we would at least get some kind of shot in. A sneak attack skill or some kind of hide that would at least give us some kind of chance. Maybe even with some kind of chance to fail, but at least we would know that we wouldnt be getting knocked down all the time.
I also noticed being covert that if you have a temporary enemy flag up you still can't attack pc imperials unless they attack you first. I tried going to a rebel camp and saw a pc imp attacking it, but he didnt show me a tef and I couldn't attack him?? Later on when a pc imp sees me attacking an imperial base he can attack me!?? Has this happend to anyone else. This has to be a bug of some sort.
Gosh thx. I was only thinking of pistol for its melee value anyway. It is frustrating. Im ashamed to wear my Master Heavy Swordsman tag. It is a big fat sign saying "Hey, I don't have good range so come kill me and laugh." Classic was yesterday when a guy named Charleston Heston Called my Wookie a dirty ape after he killed me. A sad part is I got close to him 3 times on my machine but apparent was lagged enough because I couldn't hit him. Oh if only I could have laid a mind bleed on him... Oh I hope the day comes..
He was camping outside one of my missions..
