Swordsman Archive

The whilrling dervish....a class that restricts us from wearing armor but allows us to dual wield any master swordsman weapons. Just a dream hehe...

Seriously guys, I like the idea with elite elite professions.

But I think in different directions than most of you.

I like the two weapon-combo Idea, wearing two swords, but not for a twohand swordprofession.

And I build my Chatacter kinda like an assasin. Master Swordsman and master Sniper. An assassin kills on every range, I do. I have scout exploraton (extremely important for gamplay and style) and some medic abilities, cause I'm on my own very often.

What I like about the Elite-elite idea is tha´t you really have to specialize, to become supperior in your art. The weakness of a supperior ranged-fighter shoud be, that he is killed easily in melee. Status quo is, that the elite ranged professions have pets to fight melee-professions. But if a carabineer had to spend more points in becoming best-of-the-best in his profession, he would think twice about becoming CH.

Ideas could be (some mentioned by others before)

Heavy Swordsman:

-Axemaster (could be a normal elite Proff as well instead of Heavy Swordsman)

-Blademonk (can't say samurai)
ARMOR LORE; lowers enemys armorclass by striking worse protected parts, EXECUTION: majorly lowers attack speed by doing automatically max-damge.
VITAL POINTS LORE: like aim (marksman) for melee

Swordsman

-Derwish (needs Master Brawler and Master Fencer) no armor, Berzerk 3, Master skill maybe a burning sword attack, can use two onehanded swords at once.

-Knifeman: extremly high modifiers on "very" close range, maybe two kinfes, higherRUNNINGSPEED in combat, BLEEDING, DISTURB enlarge negative mod. of one enemy in close combat

Here's a idea just for fun:an elite professioncalledBerserker... it would require Master Brawler, mastery of any elite melee profession,and 100000 combat exp for the novice box.The 16 boxes above could require either combat exp, or experience from all four brawling styles, just to make it more grueling to achieve.

The main feature of the profession would be the ability berserk3, aka Rage.At the master level, itwould provide +30% damage,+15% toughness,+50% to the effect of spices,and-50% to ranged and melee defense. Unlike the lower level berserk abilities,Rage would allow special attacks, and the state could be voluntarily exited at any time.

All of these effects would be tied to the skillRage Effectiveness, modifiers for which would bedistributed throughout the skill tree, adding up to 100% at the master level.

Ragewould be limited in duration: up to one minute for novices,10 minutes for masters. The endof the enraged state wouldalways be followed bya downer of sorts which would be 1/3 the duration the rage lasted. During this time theberserker isboth stunned andintimidated, and their base strength, quickness and focus are reduced to 1.

Elite two-handed swordsman would have this: 100 two-handed weapon speed, 160 accuracy, and mindhit3 - area mind bleed.

What about having Faction based Elite Elite Classes?

For example you're a master swordsman, and Imperial. If you have enough faction points and rank you can unlock a new class like "Imperial Swordsman". The idea being that you are training with the best swordsman the empire has to offer. Each skill box would require both two-handed xp and faction points, as well as a certain rank. The trainer's would only be at POI imperial bases (like the fortress on Lok or the Emperor's retreat on Naboo).

The same could go with other professions and the Rebel Alliance, i.e. An "Alliance Rifleman" is one who has mastered the rifleman profession and now training with the best rifleman in the rebel alliance.

Just a dream, but it would give all of us that are bored out of our minds something to do, and encourage more people to participate in the GCW.

I'd love to see my avatar with the title "Master Imperial Swordsman."

lol.. i can't believe someone bumped an old topic of mine.. it is quite a nice idea though, if I do say so myself

Would be nice to see all the "new" Swordsmen and womens ideas too.

Btw Ypi, I was thinking a little further beyond tiny skill-mod raises. Elite-Elite-Swordsman would be entirely new class with new moves and weapons, aswell as the skill mods.

The berzerker idea sounds pretty badass too. Berserk3? yes please >=D

Well assassins exist in Ragnarok Online.........why can't Galaxies have it? &thinks about his own shop "Assassin 4 Hire"&

Yeah lets just go into the jedi tree after we reach master swordsman. But we will be much more powerfull! We will have duel weild lightsabers and vibro boomerangs out the yin yang. Our class will be called GOD.

I am LMAO so hard I am crying. That is too good. they can do that but they will make sure they have a super TKM profession with world area KD/dizzy to make it even worse for us.
