hello all, I have been going for swordsman for a while, but have playing it off and on. I have read many posts about the dant picket missions and thought I would try them out last night. I am a Novice Swordsman at 0/1/0/1 and about to be 0/2/0/1. I am having a hard time killing these things. THey have resistance to kinectic energy so my sword does around 500-1000 damagae, and I am really inaccurate with my hammer. I took 2 missions last night and they took me close to 10 minutes each. After reading the posts this does not sound right by your alls time. I get fully buffed, pop 2 brandies (and canapes if I have them). These are 10k missions so im not sure if there way to tough for my current skills. I spam 2hand head hit 2, I have 2 hand mind hit 1 but it seems like it doesnt do as much damage.
Cliff notes :
Take 10k picket mnissons and they seems like they take to long (from what ive read)

10 minutes at that level per lair sounds pretty close to right, I think at your level you could be better off w Quenkers as the time to xp ratio seems better. At that level your just not fast enough you can do the 2h spin in the lair but you cant swing fast enought to outdamamge the lair healing until you kill everything that comes out. Dont get to hung up on people who tell you how at novice they were going through picket plainswalker lairs in no time they are "exagerating". The best you can do is get a hammer spd sliced to speed things up a little.

I just mastered Swordsman for my fourth time (this time on Test Center), and I only did piket mission after mastering. Once you hit master, you can use domination on a nest and clear them out in under 3 minutes (great for cash).
However, I suggest you do quenkers until you are at least x/4/x/4
Then I suggest doing Savage Quenkers.
If you want to do Savage Quenkers at a lower level, then I suggest you hook up with a weaponsmith and have him make you some hammers with -9 range mods. Then get them all sliced (if you can afford to buy 25 hammers and get them all sliced, do it) hopefully you will get some nice speed slices out of the bunch. Then you should search you galaxy for some 16% speed reduction powerups, and use them with your speed sliced hammer. You should have pretty good accuracy with your hammer and swing at a decent speed

Thanks for the help guys. I spent all day on tat fully buffed doing the 3-9k missions. I usally went for the squills, they were fast to kill (usally 3-4 hits with the sword) and gave about 2-3k xp. Although the money was kinda crappy I did make it to 0/2/0/1 today and im about to hit 0/3/0/1 so i cant wait to get mindhit 3. I fought everything I could in between the mission terminal and the missioni tself. Needless to sya I have allot of wooley hide now. Which is awesome because we have a guy thats buying for 65credits per unit. and at 1178 units thats allot of cash (for me anyways). Thanks for the help guys and cant wait to join the rank of Master
