Hi all
I am currently a master droid engineer and almost master carbineer. trouble is carbines kinda suck, but they look great, an elite or laser with a stock and scope are pretty nice looking weapons.
i picked up a nice grooved sword from the themepark and bought another for 3k and i wanna use em. they look nice, and i don't think hammers suit me. can i effectivly use swordsman with this weapons? the sycthe looks good too. will it be really tough to use these against tough mobs. i just wanna go adventuring and maybe try to solo something tougher than pickets.
any help is good

The grooved sword will really not work for you as a swordsman if you want to do decent damage. The 2-Handed Curved Sword (same graphic as grooved) is OK for damage but at some point the Hammerwill far out damage it. The scythe is pretty nice for damage also but its HAM costs are kinda rough, especially for the mind pool even if you are buffed.

Curved can be really nice if you use the right materials, alas all the materials you will need are in the geonosian cave. I would suggest going there getting the materials for the sword cores (solidifying agents and yellow cubes) then having a MWS make you two scythes and a few curved swords. The curved can be very good with accuracy but the minimum dmg is not close to as good as a scythe so any pve or pvp with mitigation will stomp you. Scythes can be very good and if you use brandytimes2 and have buffs the ham hsouldnt be to bad. As for killing high level mobs.... well lets just say i can clear out the entire NS forced llabor camp with ease (scythe) and even the elder is weak to swordsman weapons.

one more thing youll need to get the sword core schematic from the geonosian cave also.

the cleaver and the two handed axe are both underestimated, and really decent weapons. you dont see too many swordsman running arround with a cleaver, or a two handed axe, even though they are really usefull. they have similar speeds and damages, the axe has +11 to range mods, and the cleavers i have seen are -8 (if memory serves). and the ham costs arent too bad, the axe is harder on health than action and the cleaver has a moderate health and action cost. and they both are medium armor piercing.
