Swordsman Archive

From what im hearing form tc, the CU is basicly going to make everything harder(creature/npc wise), now i know i can realocate my skill points when it comes around.I LOVE SWORDSMAN, can any1 that is swordsman on TC/CU tell me the down to earth truth, Is swordsman going in the crapper?,(in which case rifleman is my pick) or is it still going to be a major damage dealer with some decent defences? lol if cratures are gona to be as hard as ive herd, ill go prone 1000000000000000000000000000000 m away and sniper sniper and if both are in the crapper(rifleman+swordsman), What is a good proff. lol iv havent played on TC5 yet, (I wann wait till weaponsmiths can make some weapons) so just gimme some insight.

Thanks :0 :6

Its still too early to know what all will happen. Most people will say that we have been nerfed. This isnt really correct though. We will still be one of the most well rounded profs in the game, a nice blend of offence and defence. However, dont count on being able to solo krayts any longer. Team play will be up though, and in the end fighting with 5 of your friends to bring a krayt down is more fun that settign up a macro to do it.

lol thnx for info and congrats on ur new position , ya ill stay with swrodsman, /cry no more nightsisters for me

I respectfully disagree....yourself and five of your friends eachkilling their ownkrayts is much more fun...we're gettin nerfed, dont try and coat it with a cherry flavored rainbow

ya waht the hell , ive already mastered swrods, so i wont need xp, and if i loot, it will be worth more lol im starting to c good things

The trouble is that the swordsman profession has attracted a lot of 'wanna be L337' uber kiddies who found out they could solo Krayts and Elders and keep all the yummy loot for themselves (I know I am one).

Swordsman was never that amazing in PVP (and it doesn't look to be getting any better) and now it sounds like it will be more realistic in PVE, although I do fear it may become gimped.

Ultra high-end content was never meant to be solo'd, so dont cry 'NERF' just because you wont be able to do that in the game any more, that's a fix, not a nerf, even I can admit that and I'm just a loot whore.

If you want to be concerned about something, worry about being turned into a gimp in PVE without an area attack or decent defense and an uber gimp on the open battlefield with low ranged defense and an effective strike range of only 6m getting shot by a rifleman 60m away.

ya atm i feel that there was no thought put into the attacks we get. because using mind hit does more damage then Critical strick does And Power attack(which btw has a wind up and a cool down on it making it useless) yet it has a lower modiflier on it then head Hit and even the master brawler melee hit skill(name escapes me at the time.)

Our skills need ALOT of tweeking before this goes live. and an area attack would be nice but necessary if they raise our damage output above the rest of melee(cuz atm i do about the same damage as a fencer does that is the same lvl as me.:/)

QFE..

I don't think Ranged will still be able to kite exactly the same as they can now.. just having a ranged weapon equipped encumbers movement speed apparently. Also, speed is gonna be reduced by wearing armor as well. Sounds ripe for the pickings by a well-placed burstrun.

Also keep in mind that we still have Lunge.. it still has increased ranged and it still KDs pretty effectively.

WE'RE getting nerfed? As opposed to all the other professions which are all getting 4000+ max damage weapons to beat us with?

If everyone is getting "nerfed," is it still a NERF?

I guess it depends on how you look at it.

lets say that right now some people have baseball bats, while others have a nerf cannon. the guy with the baseball bat would beat the other guy down.

now lets say the first guy gets a neft brand bat (ive seen them). yes he 'got nerfed' but now that everyone is playing with nerf everything is more balanced. (i expect the guy with the bat to still win though, ive been hit by both nerf rockets and bats, and the bats hurt more.)
