Thread: I can't wait till Swordsman works.
I got swordsman as a holo, however i like it so much I am going to finish my pistoleer and drop it instead of finishing swordsman and dropping it.
As far as the Scythe goes it is being revamped from what TH has said and it will be slowed down a bit, however the are going to improve the range.
youre a fool if you think swordsman is powerful in pvp.
our weapons are gimped against brawlers in pvp.
a powerhammer won't do **edit** to a TKM. you gotta whack at him over and over and overt to dent him and that IF HE DOESNT HAVE A HELM.
and by that time you're kd/dizzied and dead.
we're too slow and too inaccurate in PVP.
there are ways around it, with diffrent weapons and builds - but were hardly the most powerful in PVP
TKS can do more mind pool damage than we can.
surely you're not that blind.
in pve were pretty good if played correctly

not really. in pvpvs range swordman dominates them all. but vs melee tkm's dominate the pvp world.
only when you start getting buffs and armor on does this change. yes a buffed and armoredswordman vs a buffed and armoredtkm the swordman would probably end up winning.
in pve i would say that it's about even between the two. they both can take out about the same things untill the ncp starts getting armor on then swordman would definently do better as swordman.

my other sig is a Corovette. 
hmm does anybody pvp without buffs and armour?
I mean serious with descent armour on a tka can beat do only 20 damage to u. Even if ure going to be down to 20 mins they cant take u out.
The AR2 on our weapons is what gives us our edge. I only have to agree that ranged fighters are somewhat of a problem but that their game ours is up close and personal.
When i equip my sword at a mission terminal i get some pretty difficult missions, and often end up using tka to complete them, because the damage i do with my sword just doesnt compare to using my bare fist, as well as connecting with an attack. So what exactly is the problem? is it accuracy or something? I really cant see use surviving in anything without some better accuracy.

Ok, first of swordsmen doesn't suck in PvP if you know what you are doing. I will say however, that if you are JUST a swordsmen and not another supporting proffesion you are gonna die.
Our weapons are not gimped vs. Brawlers in PvP, we have inaccurate powerhammers, I'll give you that but MUCH more accurate than Pikes, and we can get our curved swords up to +34 accuracy on all ranges (or I can)
If your using a power hammer in PvP to take down a TKM you don't know what you are doing cause ur gonna miss 2/3 of the times you swing.
If you get KD/dizzied, either become a low level doctor, or wear kinetic armor and use warcry. If I weren't a doctor, I'd become a master brawler, and the tactics I'd use would be run up warcry, bleed his mind, then whack away at his head until he KD/dizzies you, then just spam /stand until you are able to stand then hit him in the head. TKAs burn through mind like a hummer burns through gas.
We are too slow and too inaccurate in PvP if your using a powerhammer, and if your using a power hammer in PvP, you should rethink what ur doing. Yet again, go get urself a curved sword with higher accuracy mods, and then throw a speed power-up on it. I have one which is 2.3 speed +34 to all ranges, and w/powerup does like 2.0 speed.
As for TKAs doing more mind damage than us, this is just stupid. unless he is hitting speed cap each time, and you are using a power hammer, maybe. But I really think you should show us some evidence of this. not a single mind hit that did more, but a fight betweem a TKM and a swordsmen who have the same mind, and both are spaming their mind hit.
I do however agree that in PvE we are good, and we are also good in PvP if your not a moron.
