Swordsman Archive

Ilike being a swordsman alot, yet it just saddens me to see there is really no gear tuned to our specific needs. I use chitin armor and padded along with just regular clothing. For a zabrak I do pretty good. I just wanted some advice on how to use my stats so I could get the best out of my chitin armor. I notice when I put on a full set of chitin my stats drop drastically. My quickness goes out the window and along with my constitution. Other than that I seem to fair pretty well. On rebel base raids, if I encounter a mob first I outdamage everyone. Just working on my skills for now, I am part medic as well. But the sad thing is Im 3 boxes away from master medic when I hoped it to be swordsman any advice would help to migrate my stats would help. Thank you

Well this is what I did and it works very well for me. I plan on PvP so I wanted balanced bars (Health, Action, Mind) so that no one could single one out as being the weak spot. I set my Health and Action at 900 and my mind at 800. The other stats I evened across the board which I believe was 450 each. I am currently 2/3/2/2 in the Swordman tree and have soloed all the way with no problem. I also wear no armor. Just my slick looking Highlander cloak. I am a human.

These figures may be wrong since I'm at work, not in front of my computer at home looking at the values. Also, this is from my point of view as a Master Swordsman/Master Medic, this may not be the best for everyone.

Health: 750
Str: mid range
Con: low

Here's my thinking on the health area... You have to have a decent health pool, but since you are a medic, you really don't need regen. You want decent strength to reduce the cost of specials.

Action: 750
Quickness: max
Stam: low

For action, it's pretty much the same as health, but since a lot of people primarily use the 2h curved sword, you want to max your quickness to reduce the high action cost of the specials. Again, with medic, health/action regen is not an issue.

Mind: 1000
Willpower: MAX
Focus: mid-range

The thinking on mind here is that you can convert your mind pool into health and action many many times over, so you want max possible mind. A full mind bar converts into probably 10 entire health/action bars using good stims. Also, since you are not regenning health/action, you rely on your mind pool to provide your regen. It is much more efficient (with medic of course) to do this with stims than to use points on high health/action regen. Also, mind pools cannot be healed, so having a large mind pool with quick regen is a major bonus for pvp as well.

Anyhow, this is my thinking, I hope it helps.
