Swordsman Archive

every race which is able to wear all armor peaces is just fine. Good armor is very important, you will get about 75% damage reduction with 50% kinetic chitin.

its like:
- mob hits you for 248 damage
-- your chitin leg absorb 186 damage

Get high Health/Action if you have no medic skills. And high Mind if you have any.

Trandoshan, best stats for Swordsman (will be able to twirl that Power Hammer like a toothpick), yet can also wear most armor.

Rodian: so-so. Good action is nice, but Curved gets left behind the curve eventually (pun intended) If you take it, only do so for the +10 Twohand accuracy.

Wookie is absolutely the worst: no armor kills it right there.

Zabrak is awesome if you plan on going some minor medic on the side (which I highly recommend). It's also good because you can tank well (1200 HP) and also get decent Strength/Quickness. Our best weapon is the Cleaver though, because we can't get insane Health reduction like the Trandoshan. Zabrak's equilibrium ability has saved me more than once, however!

I'd say Trandoshan is the best if you really want to figure it out mathmatically, but Zabrak is close second due to perks and decent stats.

You guys won't be soling Nyms anymore because they now are social and mob you. Found that out the hard way today. Soloing a single is no problem. Fighting one on five is!

Yea I've got a Trando pikeman. They're really great for hp regen and high str, but it really doesnt help much practically since ur action regen (stamina) lags behind (still need to heal since action will be low after a few styles or u get incapped). This is the reason I've decided to go zabrak (band wagon) because i'll max my willpower and heal both hp and action pool easily wif tiny mind.

i found a better spot then nyms anyways =p 3.9k a kill compared to 3.4 i could still solo nyms would just take longer
