Swordsman Archive

My fellow Master Swordsmen,

I understand that we have put in a request to get new weaponry. I have only just undertaken my quest to become a Master Swordsman / Master Ranger. Hopefully gaining the respect and honor to become the one of the Elite Wondering Swordsmen (paying homage to the old school Saturday afternoon kung fu flicks great). To all my brethrens enlightened to follow this path and all its hardships I salute you all!

(Please excuse part of this post if this subject has been touched on b4, as I have not been able to go through the entire forum yet)

Due to the nature of my role-playing, I will never use the Power Hammer. It is truly a ridiculous weapon to have as a Swordsman and I agree with all previous post, which might have touched on this subject 101%.

I would like to suggest or add to the suggestion of new weaponry. I have 4 weapons and 3 skill sets I would like to see added to our reservoir if possible. They are as follow:

1. The 2-handed Chinese Saber - link of image - www.kultofathena.com/cs88b.html (Maybe make change the Power Hammer to A Power Sword and use this as a foundation for the design of this sword. Hmm, food for thought folks)

2. The 2-handed Dark Sentinel Sword – link of image - http://www.kultofathena.com/pc_dark_sentinel.html (This sword due to the medium size blade and large hilt should give you more power to your ability to produce Wounds.)

(This is a fundamental skill below that I would like to see implemented, just about all type of RPG/Action games that have any skill that lets you wield a sword has this skill set, but who can blame them. IT MAKES SENSE!)

Skill Set

_Dual Wielding – Be able to use 2 - 1 handed swords simultaneously – Which leads to the skills:

_Dual Strike – Allowing the Swordsman 2 attacks at once. The negative being it takes longer to recover your stance from this attack leave one more vulnerable then normal to retaliations.

_Double Hit – This allows you to take 2 consecutive Hits, but is a very tiresome feat to perform; hence your HAM bar will be reduce some bit.

Also limit the skill set listed above to only be useful with the sword types below:

1. The (x2) 1 handed Sword of Anubis - link of image -www.kultofathena.com/anubissword.html (This is truly a Wicked looking Sword and seeing some come at you with 2 of these would be for better words – AWESOME) (this type of sword should get an increase the ability to hit or our Accuracy in Range. Due to its design making the curves slide of defensive blocks and producing better strikes)

2. The (x2) 1 handed Chinese Butterfly Sword - link of image - http://www.karatedepot.com/wp-sw-26.html (True to its form these babies should have very low Speed ratio)

Please if you feel these are sound proposals /agree I will also try to keep this post bumped so that our correspondent can look into these for our next plight with the devs.
