Is it true that Swordsman is getting nerfed? I heard that the devs are going to remove all the mind hits, now what would 2handed be without mind hits?
is this some kind of sick joke? or can anyone prove that it's true? post something a devoloper / give url to something a devoloper has wrote?
Im sick of all the nerfs, when they're going to nerf swordsman, then tka will be overpowered, then they'll nerf it aswell, soon all brawler proffesions will deal 12 damage in a duel without armor, come on, give me a break

Please everyone, stop giving into unfounded panic. This is all the result of a highly unlikely interpretation of single phrase which, when taken in context, cannot mean what people thought it meant.
This all came from a statement talking about the HAM cost balances coming up with the combat revamp. They said that, by balancing the HAM usage, they will be able to remove mind from being a "special damage type." People read that to mean "a type of damage caused by specials." That is not at all likely what it meant. Mind damage is "special" in that it is unhealable. Therefore, what they are talking about is making it so that mind is healable just like the other two pools, making it no longer be a "special damage type" that cannot be healed.
If you read the whole quote, which you can find in a number of threads, it says that they want to equalize HAM use with regard to both abilties and damage. Thus, if they remove mind targeting, they would have to remove health and action targeting as well. But the quote mentioned nothing about removing health or action as a special damage type. That being the case, the pools are still not being treated equally if mind is untargetable but health and action are. Therefore, it cannot mean that mind is going to be no lnoger targetable.
So please, stop panicing about them taking away mind. Be concered that this means that mind will no longer be healable, but we are not likely losing our ability to hit mind, and we will still have an advantage as we will still be targeting the pool they are usingto heal from.

haha, hi Noxferatu, now im not hiding, just made a new character, a human.
The idea was to get better mind stats, and to get an at-st, but now im going rebel, once again.
And by the way, i asked if there are going to be any nerf, because some people on infinity is whining about it. :-)
