Swordsman Archive

Okay, used the builder on Allakhazam to map the skills out: here goes nothing.

This architype would have Master 2handed sword, master brawler (for small bonuses and Kd's), Defensive tree of pikeman (for defense bonuses), all but finneses in fencer and Tka at med 1, Balance 4 and striking 4

Fencer Dizzy, then KD, Powerhammer them to death with 2hand hit 3... *Splat!*

If I crunched the numbers right, the defense would be astronomiclaly better than BH, or Commando, or TKA alone, maybe even combioned in some aspects.

However this brings up the idea of a similar template but ranged instead of Melee... That would be scary *ramble ramble*

Any idea on this?

can u tell me the website of the builder skill pls..

http://swgcb.yogn.net/swg-cb.php is the the character generator

4th box in tka balance might be considered a waste, as it doesn't grant any "general" defensive bonus.

Aside from that, WOW.

The only downside is that only leaves 3 or so points left, which means you are totally dependent on others for heals.

I'm not really sure if the uberness is worth sacrificing healing for, but those are numbers are freaking great.

I dont see myself switching weapons in pvp. It might be a better idea to take all the defensive skills from pike, fencer and tka, but leave all the offensive skills. Might have some left over for some medic.I mean we really do alot of damage as it is. The only real problem i see with our profession other than the obvious brokennesss of brawler in general is that of defence. I was originally considering being a master swordsman TKA for the same reason you probably came up with this, but this idea seems plauseble enough for me to change my goals a bit. Thanks!

Asmo, the only time I would wanna switch weapons would be to first dizzy then KD a randged attacker, then proced to 2handhit3 him to Hades.

This is very similiar to what I'm doing.

I'm Master Brawler (77 Skill points), and Master Two-Hand Sword (63 Skill points)

I'm working on Master Fencer (63 Skill points)., and the Precision line in TKA for the melee/ranged defense bonuses, as well TKA Balance, first3 blocks(32 Skill points). Then the Defensive line of Pikeman (20)

And thats 77+63+63+32+20=255...

God ...nit

Now I have to rethink my character...

*grumbles*

Okay, well to anyone who is curious.

I jsut decided to drop the pikeman defence line to advanced.

Here we are, I had trouble getting it to copy from the website itself to here first.

here is the one i am going for. get all but master brawler, master swordsman, then the meditative/balance conditioning/ percision striking tree in tka, then stances and grips/footwork/technique in fencer, and the defensive tree in pikeman. and just use swordsman strictly, yes, you may not be able to heal yourself, but i personally dont want to take medic just to stay in battle longer, i find it fun taking the risk that you may get incaped/killed in battle, thats the fun of melee, the danger, and the risk of having to get up close and personal to kill the thing.
