Swordsman Archive

I was always afraid this would happen. Thanks to combat medics, swordsman have also been nerfed.

With today's patch, dots can no longer kill people (They bring them as low as 1 HAM). And on top of this, first aid will now heal bleeders much more effectively (Which I do understand, but it still nerfs us, regardless.).

The things we did get from the patch, are more counterattack, stun resistance, and 2H sword visuals were "improved". So basically, we got the shaft. The last two are basically worthless...stun hardly does jack, and we have to use a power hammer to be any good anyways, so sword visuals mean nothing. Now if they gave us new swords (and one better than our god aweful power hammer), then I'd be happy...but this is just worthless to us.

I guess the devs don't even look at their profession percentages, and feel swordsmen don't need any help (What's even more pathetic, is pikemen got jack squat). Either that, or they hardly give a **edit** because there's so few of us.

I get stunned ALL the time fighting big creatures so I'm very happy to see the increased stun resist.

As to whether we got nerfed or not, feel free to hit the road Nash if you feel that swordsman is no longer the class for you. That's the beauty of this character system, if you don't like the turn a profession has taken, move on.

Thats not a nerf

"as i lay there centering my focus, you ponder why the DB doesnt work on me"

More defense vs. stun? Cool.

What does stundo,anyway?

I think stun lessens your chance of hitting and you lose a round. I'm not to sure about it though.

stun reduces the damage you do in half, so glad to see more stun defense (**edit** tka's and their freaking stun attack )

Lol, we didn't get nerfed, they improved the class, with a little trade-off, boo hoo

if you need bleeds to win you don't know how to play

true i mean how does a bleed that brings enemies down to 1 cripple our proffeesion, all i used bleeds was to help bring their mind down a little faster. i guess it would cripple you if you were dependant on bleeding and running

i dont mind the changes, the only problem i have is the stupid red lines.

the bleed thing is annoying, because it used to help when it came down to who/whatevergot the next hit in wins the fight and the bleed kicks in and they die. now they bleed to 1 and i get incaped. and if they deathblow, i get killed, and if they dont walk away from the area i get triple incaped, unless i can actuaually get the first swing in when i stand up from being incaped.

i have noticed that i get death blowed about 15%to 20% more and triple incaped about 20% or so more, than i used to. my clothes went down from 100% to 72% in a matter of two days, (about 12 or so hours of play)

I think the patch is great
