what do you fellow swordsman recommend if i wanted to be all about a tank - inflicting much damage to my opponent and being able to withstand blows on my health. so put my points to health and strength?
what do you tank swordsman have out there? if you guys dont mind listing what you guys have so i can have an idea what to set. im thinking if im all about being a powerhouse i wouldnt really need the speed so i could give up some quickness points or action points. im thinking a powerhouse would be health and mind and not really action? maybe im wrong please post any helpful advice. thanks guys.

I believe you mean stat "migration"
honestly--to be effective, max out your mind stats and plan on being buffed.
If you have points left after maxing your mind stats--add extra points to health and action -- and keep food that enhances your specials stats on hand in case of an impromptu buff expiration.
take 2 ryshcate and 1 breath of heaven and your strength, quickness and focus will all be buffed btwn 1500-2000
but i reapeat--THIS IS A LAST RESORT--STAY BUFFED IF AT ALL POSSIBLE.

well, I am a Master Medic, and with 70% Kinetic Ubese, I've migrated my stats down to 800 in HAM. I may lower my HA to 750 and increase my mind, not quite sure yet. With Stim Cs and Ds, I can take a helluva beating, then bring myself back up to normal fairly easily. I've been taking on Greater Desert Womp Rats on Tat, anywhere between 4 and 5 at a time (which I'd like to think is fairly good). Armor helps greatly. Definitely worth saving up for some.

Buffing is a must for me if I plan on taking on hard hitting creatures, I also have 80%+ comp to help. My mind is the only thing that is always crashing so I have moved health and action down to 800 and probably will move it lower since its not an issue once buffed. Even if my H/A is 1k each i cant handle much but low level creatures and those i can take out with a few hits and stims if needed so there is no need for 1K H/A. This way with my mind at a min of 800 buffs and drugs hook me up and when the downer hits its not as harsh.
It also seems that in PVP your head is always the first thing people go for after KD.

I'm a mon cal swordsman. I have my mind, focus, and willpower as high as it can go and my Health and action are both at 650. However I am going to lower that and raise strengh and con and quickness and stamina to max that out.
I just got TKA meditation 2 so I can powerboost myHAM + 650... Unbuffed and powerboosted... once I max out the things I want and lower Health and Action as much as needed... with just a powerboost and if I lower Health andAction as far as I can- 950 Health 1050 action and 1950 mind...
In conclusion Powerboost is awesome, and you don't have to put up with those snooty doctors.
But with a buff and add someTat Sunburns, a muon gold before I powerboost +950 HAM, and some food...my ham will be insane.... Wow... I don't think I got it until just after I wrote that... I think I will be able to take out the whole galaxy at once.
