I just picked up swordsman too and I love it...I am 0412 now and it is going really fast. In like 2 days so far.


I've leveled like this so far...

finesse 1 (because I had the combatxp)

then defense 1 - (2h spin attack2 rocks with the area attack)

then went up the offense line to get the speed bonus (and picked up finesse 2 along the way)

at 0412 - andlast night Isolo'd4 mutant rancor (at the same time)with ease (fully buffed of course) using a speed 4.2 Powerhammer and 2h spin attack2 on them. Also did 2 ancientbull rancors at 1x.


I just walked my way on Dathomir from the southern outpost (science?) up to the north one killing everything... only nightsisters I saw (and killed) were 3 sentries... warcry2/unarmed lunge2 (if it stuck) and head hit3... and maybe mindhit1 if I landed the knockdown.


I also found a sweet kamurith snapper lair that had 4 out of it and that lair most have popped like 20 more out of it at over 4K xp per kill...= about 100K 2Hxp in under 20 minutes.


I am also master tka / master brawler- but never went to any unarmed moves,


I love this profession and I guess I am lucky because I dont miss what I never had (stacking bleeds).


Just my 2 centson the original post on what to level fast...perhaps I will also try fort tusken, but I love killing rancors.

Raider7734...im jsut trying to be the best damn swordsman cause i love it and will NEVER drop it

atm i have some good equipment and ALL my points tied up


i didnt mean to flame

but beleive me it didnt come easy to get to were i am...if you stick with it good things will come


i would REALLY love to beable to drop master brawler and carbine df line...i hope it comes to that after the combat rebalance so i can for once become a ranger...but for now i like swordsman more so i play as one.


o and about the bleeds...since thepatch i havent had any trouble with commados, there burns dont really hurt that much anymore...and neiter do rifleman mind bleeds...we last longer too now cause other classes dont hit as hard with there bleeds...


keep your heads up

I'm with you Aunna... I have Master Swordsman, Master Brawler, TK 4000, Pistoleer 0040, and the rest into medic. I don't pvp much but when I do, I tend to wreck people pretty good,thanks tothe Master Brawler moves,TK meditation,Pistoleer statedefenses, and of course my +speed gear.There'slots of great stuff just waiting to be purchased with the 250 skill points everyone starts with, you yourself are proof of that.


I think our biggest challenges are accuracy and damage output.The Scythe shouldhelpgreatlyin both areas, especially damage output for those of us without good speed mods. I do believe better times are ahead

I kill lots of people as well. Master Sword, Master Carbine (215 counter attack gives me time to head hit at low rate of speed...no good enhancers here), Master Brawler.


As you can tell, my main weapon is defense stacking. Master carbinepushes counterattackso high that CoB could stands for 'Come on B*tches', ranged stun and blind areuseful when closing distance, not to mention ranged mitigation 3 whileholding the gun. Aside from that, I rather hate carbine in its current state. I could get stun, blind and ranged mit from a variety of other ranged professions (all of them I think).


So, I don't look forward to the end of stacking but maybe thenI'll get a holo prof back that I actually enjoyed but dropped for the mediocre carbine to PvP.

hey vergigorm1990 after i read the patch notes and how df wouldnt stack anymore i made a few changes to my template


i also was a counter-attacking stacker but i just made a template that is jsut as good IMHO and i killed a TKM today in a duel so its all good


i went


Master Brawler, Master Swords, Pistoleer 0344, Smuggler 0040 and novice medic


for now the template is a little weaker them my previous because i dont have all the df...but after the patch it will be smokin...


some great bonuses from this template is


90 df vs kd....sorry TKA u cant kd me anymore


70ish df vs dizzy....read above


90 vs stun


range mitigation 2


panic shot which is a very nice shot if they are out of reach from warcry2


fan shot...if you are using a tangle pistol it cuts through armor like butter...great for those who like running from you


and lastditch



its more fun then playin carbineer... im haveing alot more fun even though duels are a little more interesting/harder now...still havent lost one since i changed though
