Unless of course we dabble and add pikeman 0100 to our template. Maybe it will work with swordsman as well. Anyone tried it yet?
Today's experience in Testcenter: Imagine this, a level 15 swordsman novice gettingincapped by 4 level 11 scyks because he can only fight one at a time. A group of NPCs? Forget it, having no area/spin attacks I could only go for one of them (level 13) at a time while the other NPCs just kited me. Happened to me today.
It just dawned on me today while travelling in Dathomir in live and I was aggroed by 7 Nightsister slaves and laid waste to them with spin attacks. Cool moves, great animation, fast, fluid, lots of variety and combinations,it was fantastic and enjoyable.
Testcenter: melee hit *bonk*, melee strike *boink* same boring move ad infinitum. Oh yeah, we get advance moves of the same thing and possibly more animations but basically its the same move with a little more power. No skill to it. Just kill mobs one by one at equal to or 1 level above. Forget mobs that agro en masse.
I will miss area and spin attacks after the nerf.

btw at pike 4 you get an area attack.
Actually someone pointed this out to me in another thread. The moves aren't weapon specific. My next FOTM:
Master Swordsman, Master TKM and pikeman 0300 leaving me 33 points for medic 4000. Maybe Ill go for the pikeman 0400 to fisnish the points.
Looks good as a tank: Swordsman offense, TKM defense- no armor needed, Pikeman crowd control.
A naked swordsman doing crowd control, whoa!

master pike with master swordsman is gonna be a sick combo. I was doing great in duels with my hammer.
