Swordsman Archive

I'm actually a TKM, but I'd just like to chime in and say the power hammers are brutally useful against ATSTs in PvP (me being a rebel and all). I got Novice Swordsman strictly for the ability to use the PH. With time and no distractions, I can easily solo one. Myself and a Master Swordsman PA buddy of mine can pretty much rip through one in about 15 seconds.

yeah i up until recentley i was a large fan of using the power hammer, but i finally found a 2 hand sword to my liking, and i use it for everything (kinetic resistant mobs not included) the only time i use my hammer is when i am hacking at a lair. it makes it got a little faster.

i think 2h sword would do better vs lairs. Lairs usualy have some hidden blast armor from what i've seen. Might be removed now thoughbut before that big patch it was the case.

I use my power hammer all the time for the following reasons :

I'm a trandoshan (high strength, not enough quickness to use swords with my armor)

I can do 3k bleeding damage with it.

I can do 8 or 10 k mind damage with the 3rd version of the mind damage special.

I can kill a player in 1 shot (from 600 to 2k mind damage) with the hammer.

In an area attack, the hammer will do a lot more damage to a lot more creuatre.

When I use a sword, its because :

I'm soloing 1 vs 1 against a creature and I don't intend to use specials

I try to destroy a base and I don't want to ruin my hammer (swords cost less to buy).

That's about it, I hope it helps.
