Thread: How would you make swordsman a better damage dealer?
Swordsman were meant to be the the riflemans equivalent in melee, but our weapons are not. Weapons are what makes or breaks a person, we should not have to rely on a fencer weapon in order to do good damage, it just doesnt make sense when a fencer weapon does more dpd then a swordsman weapon.
Please KreyMerr bring up the weapon dps problems with our weapons!

Swordsman is just fine, if you want more, then dabble. This is by design.
yep, because the devs have never done anything to any professions that wasnt by design, idiot.

Your sarcasm only exists to disguise your infinite ignorance, which is fine by me. Moving on...
You guys are arguing that you should be able to tank like a TK, and hit as fast as a Fencer, by just being a Swordsman, which is rediculous. I have a nice PH, thatis just as effective as my Blade of Nyenthi'oris, so no complaints there. As for not being able to outdamage other professions, you can, an it's because you have advanced armor break, use it. Have you all forgotten that you have the highest damage multiplier hits? Head hit? Critical? Other professions don't have these heavy hitting skills.

I love all the thought you put into the first sentence of this reply.
We dont want to tank like a TK. We dont want to hit as FAST as a Fencer, we want our weapons to HIT HARD (which they currently do) with at least a slightly reduced SAC cost. Also, argueing that our damage abilities make us the most damaging professions is useless, since profession abilities no longer soley define them, as anyone can pick them up and use them with their preferred professions weapon. What truly defines a profession now is its weapons.OurSAC is too high, and you cant deny that. while we use SAC powerups other professions can usedmg ones.

It believe that the swordsman damage for there weapons should be on par with the rifles or close to it...it seems our cap for dps on our weapons are around 300 while the riflemans weapons are around 340-350.

We should be higher damage dealers than Rifleman for two reasons:
1) We're both ranked as a 5
2) We have the cojones to stand in front of our prey and stare them in the eyes while Rifleman are too busy covering themselves in leaves.
Seriously, Rifleman should not outpower us at all. A new Master level weapon would be nice as a loot on Kashyyk. This time, let's make it a sword considering we are "Swordsman".

And you're leaving facts out of the equation. Every melee profession can both GET and USE swordsman abilities. I could care less about hitting as fast as a fencer. The simple fact of that matter is that we can not match the damage output of a fencer, who is rated at 4 while we are a 5.
And also make the Necrosis drop the Executer sword around 340-350 dps maybe even better would to make it a one use schematic so ws can have the business. I would have no problem paying for a ws to craft my weapon.
I would very much like to see that Necrosis sword to be one of our top weapons!!!
as a past swordsman and current rifleman... have you ever seen a rifleman get hit by another ranged profession? it hurts a LOT. more than swordsman i think

As for the rifleman taking a lot of damage, it all depends on what proffesion you get with it. BH you do pretty well as TKM/Swords would probably be the equivalent.
