Thread: State of the Swordsman Profession 10/31
/agree mostly
BUT
"we are still able to kill ourselves with a couple of hits"
you should learn how to use Chef food and Doctor buff 
a tatooine sunburn allow one to use power hammer with really low ham cost
with good strength and quickness doctor buff a power hammer only cost MIND
with 2 ryscakes and a breath of heaven (currently bugged 
) special move cost you nothing
I vote for 3) to be fixed ASAP !
I only think it's a shame that most of this things were known 2 months ago and almost nothing happened.
Thanks Gorecki! You seem to have your pulse on the Swordsman!
Im working on Brawler...still no master professions yet, but Im playing more these days 
PvP is my biggest concern.
I spent some weeks on Dantooine killing very nasty 75-100 level beasts and i just got.. well .. very pent up and decided to fly to AH and declare and walk to Bestine for some R&R. (ok fine faction aside just hear me out)
So I did that.
As I'm running over the hill into Bestine.. I see a redcon player sureveying of all things!. A novice BH. Dangerous but not unbeatable. I don't like using my pets in PvP as the vitality risk is not worth the kill. So I dip into a cove at 78 meters... waayy before he sees me... as in MoH, BF42,or CoD... next thing I know I'm bleeding like a siv and applying first aid.
"don't bring a knife to a gun fight" was all I could think.
We have no stealth... no special plan of attack..
I have read almost every response in regards to the Swordsman class. Has anyone besides myself, fail to see any developers respond? The support from SOE is poor.
As a swordsman, we are the step-children in this game. Poor weapons. I'm a master swordsman and intro level TKA take me out. My best sword: atk 1.7, min 86, max 289. This is terrible. While other class's have weapons with atk 2.8 min 1000, max 2304. There is no competition there. We have the worst weapons in the game
Hey all, I love this class and I would love to see it balanced with the other classes that work
The topics 1-10 = I agree
Point #4 is the one that bothers me the most with this profession, PvP. Being kited is the most frustrating thing in this game. (besides the new food/enhance bug) PvE is not as bad unless you are fighting humanoids with pistols (they tend to run instead of stopping to aim) I miss the revenge Tef for the one guaranteed hit in PvP lol
I am a master swordsman, I have maxed out my two handed weapon exp at 900k. I'm getting close to maxing out my combat exp. I love this class and any improvements would make it a fun more enjoyable experience. Of the points in particular ( besides the PvP issues) I would like to see new weapons introduced. Also something that lets us tank better like the TKA's powerboost/meditation would be nice.

Hi,
I do agree with some of you on some points of balancing the class and adding some weapons, butI do think you should explore the possibilities of the Swordsmanclass.
Swordsmen is one of the most powerful classes, i do VERY well in pvp and I have never lost ANY 1 to 1 fight. In factionmissionsI can solo anything, I have tried missions up to diff 139, on thoose missions i kill every rebel myself.
In hunting i can take down almost all mobs with ham upp to 10k, the other day we were 2 ppl to take down kimogilas for instance.
Just be a little creative, its no good to just stand upp and tank untill you die. Try out the different attacks carefully so that you know exactly how they work.
Exept for the toughness resist and some specific ones my melee and range defences are way higher than TKA:s. Be creative..
If soe balances every class to be equally powerful they will ruin the game, to kill high diff mobs you have to cooperate with other professions. The samegoes for PVP..
If your a swordsman on Eclipse, send me (Prognatus) a tell and ill gladly pass on my ideas and experiencein how to play a swordsman. I also have a whole backpack of old weapons that ill gladly give to any newbe swordsman.
Of course we will have improvments of our clas, i look forward to that as well !
Have fun chopping ! =)
