I agree swordsman should have a sword as it's best weapon. The problem with that is you can't satisfy anywhere near everyone in the choice. Some players who haven't experienced martial arts will be happy with anything. I personally love the japanese arts soI wouldn't mind the two-handed curved sword being the best sword instead of the powerhammer. Other players might want the best sword to be like a celtic broadsword. Ideally I'd like to see various sword styles be equally represented. A power hammer can have more damage then a curved sword, but the speed for the curved sword would be fast enough to fully compensate so a Master Swordsman will be able to choose between 4 different weapons without suffering a penalty for liking a particular style over another.

Love Swordsman, love kills with one swing. Love being able to wear armor...use no specials...and deal out major damage.


Hate that knockdown is in Master Brawler for 2hd swords, Hate that we can kill banthas at 2500 hams with one blow, but only hit a TKA for average of 60 or 100 or so "with a special" (could be wrong but sure feels that way) while a TKA hits for 300 or 400 damage, 5 times in 5 seconds. Your telling me a FIST hits harder than STEEL? ..give me a break!!! I'm sure that has been beaten to death already.


Only thing Isee is that he lair damage does not reflect the damage done by Power Hammer that combat window shows. Could be because of the type of damage Blast, but.....wouldn't a blast cause more damage then a regular Kinetic? Combat window shows damage like 2400 but lair damage show like 1300. go figure.


Let me get this straight then....melee defense doesn't do anything then? Since we dont' get but a pitance, I'm grabbing from Fencer skills, but.....Dammit, everything I'm saying makes logical sense, what the hell? This is just plain frustrating. Who is programming this? A room full of monkeys typing on keyboards? Where is the logic? Steel crushes bone, but not in this game, or rather only on everything but PVP.
