Shoulda swordsamn carry the Hammer or Scythe or both?

I mean which is better or do they both have their own importance to our profession?

As a Master Heavy Swordman, I usually go out hunting w/ a cleaver for the look (that thing look way too cool.) However, if I encounter 1 single crazy bad@$$ like NS elder, or those damn force sensative on dant, 1 on 1 then I would use power hammer. As for Scythe, I treated it as a weapon of honor, only use in duel, or life and death situation where I got 5 mins left on buff, pretty drunk and over power by 6 vorritor hunter or 5 pickets long horn.

Use them as you like, however, Scythe can be very expensive to buy compare to a PH, and also very quick, but PH have blast damage and heavy armor piercing. Whatever rock your world dawg

PH is medium armor piercing, as the scythe. ANd yes, you should carry both, since there are different resists for each mob.

During my trials as a Master Swordsman, i have found the Geonosian scythe to be the most practical weapon for my purposes. I mostly fight creatures and the natives on dantooine, and occasionally go to Dathomir for Nightsisters and rancors. I always carry a Power hammer with me though, as those mobs that are 100% kinetic (ie NS elders) usually have a lower resist to blast.

Max your speed with AA's and CA's and then use your power hammer. I'm also TK though, so if I feel the need to deal out kinetic damage I use my VK's.... because they rock.
