I got the general feeling that you all want to be kept in the loop as much as possible. So for now I will play along.

Today:

I am asking why we have an area taunt when we are not properly able to take advantage of it. I think we are offence 5, defence 3, and crowd control 1. These numbers dont add up to us wanting to pick a fight with numerous mobs. Having no area attack and only being a medium tank.

If I can get an answer that I can share I will ASAP.

What about the new weapon cert thing. Why is a Master Fencer or Pikeman or TKA able to weild our Power Hammer? Or us any of there weapons. It just totally breaks down any uniqueness that any of the professions have.

yeah i agree with the no profession uniqueness thing. im not a fan of anyone being able to use our high level weapons.

but for now im assuming it will be fixed/changed before we have to complain too much. if its still this way in a week or so then we will have to get after the devs.

Great feedback - this is exactly the type of thing I hoped our Corr would do for us.

I also agree on the area taunt without area attack - very odd for a profession that isn't much of a tank to want to attract the attention of multiple targets that it can't defend very well against or even hit at the same time.

Maybe this can be the first Q&A subject to put on our sticky list of swordsman developments and things we have acheived for the sword community through active participation in the development process.

The more we participate (constructively) the better chance we have of getting a well rounded and balanced profession.

I hit Master Swordsman last nite. Pretty tired so I didnt get a chance to try everything all that well. But one thing about areaTaunt. It has almost no area. Since I could not see the range to targets I dont have exact numbers. But for it to work I had to be within striking distance from said target..

area taunt is stupid and useless for us. didnt the devs look at their own chart? swords are damage dealers, TKA's are tanks. our area taunt should be change to an area intimidate or area armor break. something what would help us deal damage, not get killed by a mob because we dont have an area attack. whoever has defense of 5 should have taunt not a defense of 3.
