Hello fellow swordsman. I have recently starting playing this game since I quit right before animal mounts came out. And when I signed up again, my lowly 0100 (or 0010: I forget) swordsman was still there. So I need some advice from you vets.



Q1. What armor stats/type do you recommend for PvE?


Q2. Is it better to buy a powerful weapon with high penalties, or use a 2h Curved Sword and spam the specials?


Q3. Should you spam the specials, or spread them out (say every "x" amount of attacks)?


Q4. What weapons do you recommend for different situations? (PvP, PvMob, PvNPC)


Q5. What is a good stat distribution for general purpose PvE (I am a 3334 medic as well)



Thank you in advance!

what i think might differ from others but ....



For pve, high kinetic ubese 70 to 75% depending on server.


I found to level up, a curved sword or even a scythe (once you have the cert) speed sliced and spamming spin attck, makes for very easy leveling. Once i had mastered I tend to use only the powerhammer, due to two reasons, i can pretty much hit the speed cap with a dmg sliced one (with the huge dmg difference i might aswell) and higher level content you can take on once masteris weaker to blast than kinetic generally...


If your buffed you might aswell spam your specials, i'm always foughtbuffed so i have always used alot of specials....


It really comes down to 2 weapons once you are master, Powerhammer(Blast), or Scythe Blade(kinetic). If the resists of the target in blast and kinectic are very simular, use the hammer. If the kinetic results are alot lower than blast, use ur scythe and vice versa. Though in pvp i findthat the accuracy mods can be alot better on a scythe blade, so if i know i'm going up against someone who stacks, i will preference the scythe usually.


Cant really comment for the majority on this last one as i have only fight buffed (for like 6 months) so my stats are all migrated into my mind (human) 1.1k mind, 950 mind focus and will power
