Hey everyone, im a noob swordsman (just got 2h 2) and I was wondering...what order of weapons should i use as i progress? (example : I lvl'ed up to 2h 2 on small stuff with an axe, and now im using a speed sliced curved sword, and i dont know the weapons to use as i progress)
So if someone would be kind enough to fill in the blanks for me...
2h 3 : (insert weapon name here)
2h 4 : (insert weapon name here)
Lvl'ing to novice swordsman : (insert weapon here)
Novice Swordsman : (insert weapon here)
I usually only do PvE, but i casually do PvP...so if anyone could help, that would be great
Thank you

Accuracy stinks on the power hammer so i wouldn't use it when going after mobs until finesse 2 or 3.
However, there's one major exception. When attacking lairs, accuracy mods don't matter, so you always hit. Now when you do area attacks, it doesn't reroll for each target affected by the AOE, so you're guaranteed to hit everyone around you. Works very well on melee mobs, like hurtouns, which I leveled on. At novice with 72% ubese and brandy, you can solo mokks and jantas for cash, too, if that's more important to you (it was to me).
I still switch to my curved sword to go after individual targets, especially to catch the ones that run away.

Right, how could we forget the scythe? Do mokks or jantas on dantooine in solo groups for the cash, two sessions should net you 600k, which i did fairly easily even at novice (though good kinetic ubese and brandy is a must). That should be enough to get you a scythe. I'm whipping through mobs with mine.

A speed slice is especially important for leveling. Not to mention a few crates of speed powerups.
