Swordsman Archive

As far as anyone knows, that IS the scythe - The same weapon on the wall in Nyms Palace/Armory.

It dosn't look like a scythe to you because you're thinking only of the Grim Reaper-esque Scythe. The definition of a scythe is just a curved blade on a long handle.

*watches his post ignored and everyone continue to post sword suggestions that are of weapons not used in SW...medieval anyone?* There are no flails, etc. Please

Before I get to the swords, I'd like to ask if the Devs are ever planning on implimenting duel swords for one handed swordsman and any other class like BH who should be using Duel Pistols?

This would probably be the best addition in my mind because DW gives so much diversity in the game. It'd make itsothat itisn't just the best sword around against the best sword around and whoever has the best skill wins (There is no fun in that) Of course, I'm not saying the swords should be dealing out double the damage, there'dhave to be a penelty on the other depending on size and min-max damage. Like you could carry a one handed sword around with a tanto or something. And also there'd probably a hell of a lot of balancing with the classes to make it so that someone with DW's won'talways win.

Anyways here are my weapon suggestions:

Long Sword- Aragon style... you can imagine

Short Sword- We've all played D&D games

Katana- Something that looks better than the curved one we have now

Scimitar- For those of us who want to become Drizzt *chuckle*

Tanto- Small sword that looks like a small, thick cane made of wood/bamboo, and inside is a sword

Rapier- Small, knife-like sword

Wakizashi- Small sword that looks like a miniture Katana

--------------------

Also, I'd like to make a request that we could have belt holders, they are like sheaths, but you put the sword into the sheath and then into your belt kind of like Samurai, I'm sure you get the picture.

Another request, is if we do get DW's, if we could have the sword placement like Samurai, with the katana and tanto/wakizashi next to each other on the belt.

Sorry if I'm asking too much, but I'd like to look like a Samurai. Since I am a swordsman anyways, why not be a cool swordsman (a Samurai hehe)

It would be nice to have a Vorpal Blade that would cause great wounds such as cutting off limbs and/or heavy bleeding . Possibly not that great damage but nasty wounds.

solo

But that weapon has no"handle" as it appears....It looks Alot more like the StarTrek Klingon(sp-Haha) weapons they all love to use

Nikolai, While i value your stance that we should only suggest Stuff from the EW and games and stuff(because it has a much better chance of approval).....But you have to Remember that this is a MMORPG...Things obviously are not ever gonna be like they are in the "Real" Starwars universe. How many CH and TKM were there in the EU? i Recall like only 3 Distinct TK and a small handfull of What could be considered Master CH.....However When you go into theed in the game You are Certain to see at least one ATST, 2 grauls, a Famba and a few dozen sludge panthers roaming around the Starport at any given moment...Not to mention the Literal Army of "Extreemly rare" TKM and Master/Expert Bounty huntersthat are out there

If i am not mistaken the TKM was arguably more rare then the jedi.....but that is another debate

As far as the Flail Goes, I think it is a Very Cool Weapon...and who is to say that There weren't people in this time period that used weapons similar to flails? They had Whips, Swords, Daggers, Axes, Lances, Hammers(?)...and Any Number of variations of Guns.

I Would Just like to See it in the game....It is a very cool weapon...If you want to "Role-Play" a "Real" Starwars swordsman then just don't use theweapons like flails and katana's...Use the Vibro Swords and axes. Vibro sword is So obvious i barley feel it even warents us asking for it....They should already have it on the workbench as it is....It should be a Given.

Whips is another Good idea....Dunno how to Clasify it tho...Would more then likly be a fencer weapon...Perhaps a Heavy whip? Give it a meduim 15-20m range and low damage

Another big thing I think we need, is more damage types (especially stun).

I also believe a vibro sword is a given, considering this IS Star Wars. But they could always expound on it a little too, perhaps.

I would just like to say that we can't really base everything off the EU because if we did that only a very few of us could make suggestions. Again I have to say there are three types of swordsman Samurai wanna be's like myself who primarly use the two handed curved (ever after several boxes of swordsman i'm not about to use a power hammer) then there are the broad sword type who likes the cleaver and the bersekers with axes and hammers. Seeing as there is this clear distinction between the three (and thank goodness all three types are playable btw, I can't think of other weapons granted at the second skill box (two handed-curved) still being viable at master levels).

So in that regard yest we need a vibro-sword a long thing blade would be nice, we need a more enhanced Katana type, perhaps just a longer blade and longer hilt would make this work, and we need some type of ax type weapon that is on par with the power hammer. oh yeah and what in the world does the scythe look like anyway? Does anyone have a pic of what it should be maybe where people have hacked the code and made their weapon look like a scythe? (I know this was done by people so they could use a Lightsaber)

I'd say a vibro sword should be a big broadsword. You need to be able to fit the vibro motors SOMEWHERE.

Flamberge, like this one.

or

a traditional Scottish Claymore styled weapon. (think Braveheart/William Wallace)

Heres a picture of an ok claymore.

That gives me an idea, why not have a electrical weapon that uses batteries?

Off to bed before I make any more silly proposals.

lol like my thundercats sword. HO!

Syg Muhrr, Chilastran
MHS, MB, MCarbs

A big metal club/nitestick - perhaps a larger version of the stun baton?

A twin-bladed vibrosword, perhaps as a reasonable speed/high damage/high HAM cost weapon (kinetic or electric)

A chainsword - slow speed, massive (kinetic) damage, perferably with sound effect when in combat mode.

A really nasty-lookinghugemace.
