Thread: Swordsman get no respect
facts:
galadan wants his own swordsman specific content
BH is the only fighting non jedi prof that has their own content, and has been like this since launch (smugglers slicing open containers does not qualify as content either)
the bosses were an improvement to npc hunting, it was new content in a way, but more of an improvement
loot drops are/were too high
giving swordsman their own profession specific content would not make sense, because why would it be SM, and not tk, fencer, pikeman, carbs, rifles, pistols, or smuggler (yes, smugglers are getting a revamp but they dont have one atm)?
yes, BH's have more to do, but they are not as good with a weapon than any other weapon profession is, so in my mind that balances
... if you want to keep referring to the fact that its a gold mind for BH's, ill keep saying that it wasnt supposed to be that high and is/is going to be lowered
... if you keep referring to the fact that soe only cares for BH and Jedi, and no other professions, i will say that cant be right. even though those two profs are largely crowed, those two also have the most problems out of all fighting classes (excluding smuggler really), so they need the most fixes. swordsman doesnt really have many bugs remaining. im sure theres a couple here and there, but BH has had more recently and has needed more fixes.

" How many Swordsman can take on a Ancient Krayt solo. None that I know of, but I see ranged guys do it all the time. And No I am not asking for nerfs so be it if we can't solo a ancient krayt. I just think SWG need to plan something for melee guys as well."
ancient krayts were not INTENDED to be solo'd, however lack of testing and players discovering out things led to them finding out about chain roots, preventing them from taking damage. i dont believe mdef jedi were intended to solo them (even tho many cant), if some cant, that was not the intention.

Why is this game catering to BH's, When are there gonna be things geared for swordsman and other professions.
It is just outrages the loot that is now available only to BH's, while the rest of the professions are stuck with the same old stuff.
BH's are making millions on Attachments and other loot that is only available to them.
When was the last update that helped us out.
SWG need to create things for Swordsman to do and be rewarded for.
If there are things for swordsman to do that is geared for swordsman then would someone please let me know.
We get respect in a different way, off players. Being a melee class shows others you are not afraid to do what others simply cannot 
. We need to use tactics and be sly in order for us to get close to our targets. When people say "Why are you a melee charachter, they are borked" I simply smile and think how I am not exactly like everyone else.
If we were to get our own 'loot system' then there would be another rise in Swordie numbers ... making us un-unique!
