Swordsman Archive

Well, from all my current dueling experience, I can say swordsman can take a lot of jedi templates. The hardest to beat is a template with master defender, as its basically a jedi version of what I am, that can heal mind. Against a master defender my scythe was rendered almost useless, even with accuracy attachments and +40 accuracy citrus snow cake, I missed at least 50% of the time.

Thanks to melee mitigation, max dmg really doesn't matter to my understanding in pvp. The biggest problem I ran into was with my scythe (240+min), I was barely nicking the mind, like I was fighting an ancient krayt. If it wasn't for the overt that came in a grabbed the jedi's attention, I would probably have one by surviving long enough to outlast the force pool.

Since that duel I managed to pick up a 360min ph, and while I'm bound to miss, the dmg increase has seemed to make a huge increase in most duels so far. I seemed to have been missing as much as possible with the scythe, effectively hitting that 5% chance or so to hit regardless of defense. So the PH change should be quite effective.

Against a BH with no melee mitigation I was able to hit for 500+ in a single headhit3 with the head unarmored.

Personally, I still feel a def stacked tkm is the best overall against dueling jedi, as you have many more ways of "draining" a jedi's force pool aside from pure damage. With the high accuracy, tkm's rarely miss no matter what the def stacks of an opponent are.

And its a lot cheaper than all my swordsman gear.

yeah my template is a jedi killer but i think the best template for jedi is swordsman/brawler/doc ...as a matter of fact..thats one of the best templates period.

Only thing to it is have a lot of accuracy, a good damage scythe/hammer, and speed capped for sure. Keep the jedi intimidated and state em up as often as you can, so that they have to spend time healing and delaying themselves. If you take too much damage from a jedi then keep a couple of Protein Wafers handy and pop them in once in a while. A good skill to have for taking down jedi is pharm 4, so you can heal for a large amount of damage..besides your mind.

It's been mentioned before in this thread, master defenders are hard to beat...

In fact, when i dueled my friend who is master defender i harly hit him at all with my acklay hammer, i had eaten citros, have +25 acc and fs melee acc and master brawler a scythe with high damage and very good range mods (contratiction?) will probably be better vs a master defender.

Granted, at the time i fought him, he was grouped with a SL and had eaten pikatta pie and melee def food.
