Swordsman Archive

This is a good thread with lots of great suggestions however, I don't see any comments from SOE. Maybe our lack of weapons is the reason why we are one of the least desired professions.

2handed swordsman wielding 2 swords? ooohh ahhhhh

Honestly, I just want more swords. Hammers and axes are fun, but swords are much more fun.


I want a poison-tipped blade, too. (Maybe with powerups?)

Claymores. You want a big, mean ugly weapon to get the job done, leave it up too us scots I fancy wielding my 7 ft claymore, hahahaha.

I agree with a lot of the posts on here....a double bladed broadsword would be great. It is the swordsman class...not the Powerhammer class.. I would love to see something new sword wise

Weapons i'd like to see, in no particular order

1: Dual Wielding Axes or Swords

2: Larger Swords & Axes

3: Mace (not the windu one either)

4: More Hammers

Uh.. I thought we were two handed as in, we use weapons that require two hands to use.. lol, you have to be **edit** strong to dualweild heavy axes..

You know the words "Heavy Swordsman" actually means that we use "heavy" swords.

Dualwielding is for the fencers. And Jedi of course.

we need a powerful axe that works well with master.

it makes way more sense than a powerhammer since it would be a bladed weapon.

a nice vibro axe would be sweet.

Actually Patina...there could be a sword that does blast dmage, an Adumarian Blast Sword. For anyone who's read X-Wing: Starfighters of Adumar, you know what I'm talking about, for the others: it's basically a sword that shoots a blaster bolt from the hilt when it makes contact. Its' a weapon that the Adumarian society that Wedge and Tycho Celchu visited use for duels and whatnot. The society as a whole is very rennaissance like.

I think it would be perfect. The Adumarian govt. left the Old Republic just after palpatine took over, so it is possible to have them in this time era...although a stretch (no worse then all the Zabraks and nonslave Wookies). It could be an elite cert. with a slower speed than the katana style 2-handed, but faster then the hammer. Damage-wise I'm not so sure, but I would think something with a higher minimum then the other 2 would make it stand out a bit.

It would be cool too to see a little blaster bolt flash when you hit or just when you do a special with it. And it would have a more "star warsy" feel to it, then a fantasy style sword would.

Badass.. And it already exists in StarWars, so I see no problems in implementing it

I think varying damage types makes the most sense. There should be multiple top tier weapons for us to use with each damage type represented. that way all swordsmen would not be carrying the same weapon. it would diversify the look and feel of the profession.

ideas:

heavy mace: stun damage (it stuns when whupped up-side the head and shoulder area)

vibro sword: kinetic

Flail: electric (releases electric charge on impact) (could have some really nice animations to it as well)

war club: acid (looks like a spiked baseball bat, spikes contain acid)

There is no reason that there could not be a heat weapon, a cold weapon etc... if all of these have fairlyreasonable attributes, i don't see why they could not be implemented.

if a light-sabre is possible....

Personally, I'd like to see weapons do some different kinds of damage, maybe one that specifically does acid/disease etc? The weapon schematic hopefully being able to be looted this month goes a long way to helping this situation out. As for weapons though, I'd prefer that we are not just given weapons, but what about special quests and CONTENT in the game? Make us go to an out of the way planet, and complete a quest for a schematic, which we can then sell/give to Weaponsmiths???????

We already rock the house with AP2 blast and kinetic, do we really need any other damage types?Nah, I don't think so

I would like to see the echani sword from KOTOR in SWG for heavy swordsman. That would be a distinctive weapon and a sword at the same time. I always feel like I'm about to go build something running around with that hammer.
