Swordsman Archive

Hi, i'm pretty much a noob about swords, I'm TKA/master doc but i'll try swordman for the hell of it. So as you might know, VK can't use krayt scales or other neat thing, only motors like the one you can loot on nym's guard.

Now my questions reguarding swords, can they use krayt scales ? I've heard about rancor teeth what they add, more damage, more speed ?

If i'm looking for a sword, reguarding each sword what i should be looking for ? ie: curved sword are the fastest or something, power hammer deal the more damage.

Thanks in advance.

ups also what is up ? no swordman FAQ ? at least some could have yelled to me RTFQ, but there is no FAQ to look at

i've herd rancor teeth an high frequancey vibo units but i dont know how good they are yet never had a sword made from them that i know of ....

on the vibro axe (and anything else with 'vibro' in the name) you can use the high power / high frequency motors that drop off of Nym things.

For Swords (that use sword cores) you can use Rancor Teeth. UNFORTUNATLY, the stats on rancor teeth are not a significant upgrade to your average advanced sword core, making them pretty useless.

thanks for the reply guys, can you tell me if this power hammer any good ?

ok so i have no idea if its any good .. the vendor its on says its sliced, but .. **edit** man .. the range modifiers are really low ... its piece of crap right ?

i'm looking for a nice power hammer what stats i should look for on it ?

Speed sliced, that was. My base hammers come out at 5.1 spd, 459 max damage. -29 range mods

Yeah, it's a good hammer, but don't expect to use it well until you get up the speed / accuracy trees in swordsman.

Stick with the 2handed curved sword till then (unless you need the blast damage)

This past weekend I went looking for rancor teeth. They replace Sword cores, hence you cant use the in Hammers. The better stats were something like

Maxdmg 68

spd .72

ham 14/15/12

wound 10

They arent worth the effort. They may increase damage alittle but speed takes a hit. Had a cleaver and curve sword made.

Cleaver

246dmg 4.1spd 51.5%wound

I dont remeber curve sword stats but they were to the same tune. A little more damage with slower speed. Enough to were it was worth it even with a slice. And too boot the minimum damage numbers were alot lower on cleaver. Around 60.

the teeth i have are all like this

sry bout last post any who like this ;
min 5
max 86
speed .564
wound 20
range -8
h 12
a 15
m 11
that seems a lil better then the other an i whouldn mind that extra speed incread if the damage an WOUnd is higher


i like to leave a mark in them to rem me by

keep pluging better is out there. but you have to decide if the HAM and speed are worth the dmg? i am master so i do not mind at all but mine is just a PvE weapon. i would not beable to hit the broad side of a gnort in PvP.
