Anybody had this happen to him lately?
Sorry that I only have a screeny from combat-log but I was so surprised, I couldnt hit the PrintScreen button in time. But yes: It was animated.
So, after lunge lost its KD how about that:
The Master-Box will grant you a skill called /throwWeapon (or something) that enables you to throw your weapon (who would have thought that lol).
Range: 12-20m
Effect: KD and damage
Now, a Swordman has nothing to do with force so, your weapon shouldnt come back.
2 Possibilities:
1) You have to get into a 5m radius of your target to "pick up your weapon" (you dont reallylose your weapon but would fight as "unarmed" until you "get it back")
2) You would have something like the "Disarming Shot"-effect on you. For x seconds. (you could still heal)
Or maybe a mix of both. Maybe somebody has a better idea?
TKM, Master Fencer would get the same move.
And yes, Master Pikeman too. But as I am writing thisI had an idea for them. Well, not really, more like a joke. (only the Pikeman-idea is a joke, not thecomplete post)
Pikeman:
Master Skill: Ranged Impale
Effect: You throw your Polearm, impaling your opponent. Now you are able to pull them towards you (rope attached), apply a dizzy state and "Finish him!".
(extra xp/PvP-Rating)
hehe, what do you think?
*edit* for forgotten clicky

I'm curious as to where the verbose combat log came from - mine is superbasic at the moment and has been since CU was introduced.. It gives me "Grace hits xxxxx for xxx" or "Grace misses", for my actions, and "xxxxx hits Grace xxxx" and "xxxxx misses" for my enemies actions.. I have Verbose chat switched on, is there something else I'm missing, or is this screenie from TC-CU where the combat chat was actually more detailed?

Nope, Live Server and 2-3 days old.
You have verbose chat enabled? Hmmm, don't know that option.
But try Options - Chat - scroll down. There you have the options for brief/verbose combatlog and "show attackers weapon" or something.

Yeah if you have it enabled you can see that their attacks are just about all jedi moves but they use primarily swordsman weapons. I don't mind this at all b/c they're supposed to be harder (remember when they had force moves?) and these attacks are giving them pretty good dps. Oh, and your idea is kinda meh. If the devs thought lunge was too much of a ranged kd why would they give you one with even more range?

Believe it or not, the PH was thrown. I will try to reproduce and screenshot it...

Sorry that I want melee to get a ranged KD back. I bet this will be implemented as soon as this game is bug-free 
(But I can dream, can't I?)

I've seen the effect you're talking about, she does the 2hand saber throw animation (I know it off by heart from my Jedi toon hehe) But the Hammer doesn't seem to leave her hand, or if it does it just disappears for a moment or two.. So I can verify that they do it

Hey man, I know where you're coming from lol, I was a master fencer not too long ago. The lunge nerf more than pissed me off. A ranged kd for melee is more than welcome for me but with the way they acted with lunge I can't see it happening any time soon

Mm I've now seen Nightsisters throw their Powerhammer and 1hand Curved Swords at me, usually by moving away from her as she throws it, the sword or PH follows me and then spins back to her hand Fun to watch, looks painful too ^_^
