I am working towards Novice Swordsman after having dropped Master Pikeman, which I greatly disliked. Does anyone know if Swordsman does more damage than Pikeman? Is it faster?

Thanks!
Just dropped pikeman for swordsman on sunrunner also. I love the fact that you can target mindpool, and with the powerhammer, you can stack(for a little while anyway) 3k bleeds pretty easily. Swordmans are faster and have better accuracy, but no KD without master brawler.
Also if your looking for a pwrhammer to use at lower levels, check out wyldfyre's weapons, its very convenient since his weapons are sliced. He's on tat, near beastine.
MAKE SURE TO GET THE SPEED SLICE ONE. 5.0 speed+ is too much at lower levels.

Without armour or pet tanks it's gonna be hard to find stuff to killl that's worth the trouble. I used to do Quenkers without armour, but at a lower level, so you could try savage quenkers at least (Dantooine)
You could try and go bigger, but you'll have to bleed +run, and I have no experience whatsoever running from a battle, so I can't help ya there 
You should really use your pets though, at your swordsman level the damage they do will not affect your XP much, and it'll allow you to kill much bigger targets because you won't die in 10 attack rounds.
If you get Master Brawler you'll get a knockdown attack, and I can tell ya, once you've used a 20 second delay knockdown on a tough MOB you'll never drop Master Brawler again
With a knockdown attack, you can go to Dathomir and party, andas long as you do use your pets to tank you can kill Kamurith Snappers and the like. Ive taken out a lair of about 25 snappers in I reckon just under an hour (used armour and master Brawler skills, but if you use a high HAM/armour pet, you can too)
A note to some of the above replies: the man said without armour and buffs, so suggesting them is not very constructive

what lvl into swordsman must you be in order to spawn those turtle thingies on talus? and waht lvl swordsman you need if you take out a Cariion spat lvl 10? I did manage to spawn those things, but i was grouped with someone else at the time, and i never got to spawn 'em solo.
btw, another fun thing to solo is bollo bol's on naboo. lvl 28 mission spawn, pay good and fast and easy. great xp too, over 3k or so as i recall.
If you got buffs and good ubese/compo tho, goto dantooine and solo pikets, they tend to give 800 xp or so more than the bols.

CoB - It is your friend, use it.
However for a change of pace and a chance at some loot I'd recommend the Aakuan caves on Talus (outside of Nashal). A full clearing of the cave is difficult with just swordsman, but possible -- and nets around 100k or so experience. If you can't get all the way in you might stop a bit before the final 2 rooms. Armor and buffs are probably required (or good food and spice).
Anyway, the Aakuans are a nice challenge and they can drop some unique items including some very nice +5 ranged defense rings as well as occasional armor tapes. It's definitely a bit slower pace, but sometimes it's fun not to rush too much.
