Swordsman Archive

Hi there swordsmen - I want to ask your advice here.

I am currently a master fencer, master doctor. I enjoy this template, and find I can do most things with it fairly well. I don't pvp much (or at all) and was thinking about picking up heavy swords as I hear it is very good against higher end mobs such as a nightsisters and kimos.

Is it worth me dropping doctor for this? I only use it for buffing my self and never buff for cash. I also got it fairly quickly so I could easily get it again if I wanted to.

Can you outline the pros and cons of swordsman for me? And if you think it is a good one to pair with Fencer - I don't want to drop this, I love it so much.

Thanks

If you mostly PvE then you might like Swordsman better. Last night a Master Fencer and I were doing some high level mission on Dantooine and by the time he'd have 1 Slinking Voritor Hunter dead I'd have already killed 3. Fencer has Stun damage though and that's a nice alternative to kinetic but we have blast damage so, either way you're not going to be able to kill every single thing in the game with just 1 or the other.

The best thing to go for first is head hit 3. Once you have that you'll be clearing out lairs in no time.

Right well I did pick it up - dropped all of fencer, put all of the combat I had saved up into swordsman, I have been playing it for a day now and I am now 0313 - it is great fun. I have to wear armour at the moment, does the center of being come into its own later on - as it does with fencer?

Spin attack 2 is definatly the key to fast xp - although one on one headhit 3 it very powerful.

What sort of stats should I look for in a powerhammer?
