Swordsman Archive

Well,

I have to say... for any Master Swordsman considering adding a second master title... consider adding Master CH. If you think you can solo things now.. imagine soloing along with two uber pets as tanks.

In fact, I can easily solo bull rancors or just about anything else for that matter. I just sick my pets on the enemy... let the enemy and pets start fighting... sneak in with a couple mind bleeds.. then sit back and watch the sucker bleed to death while my pets hold it at bay.... in less than a minute or two, I just sneak back in and finish the enemy off with a mindhit3.

Force NPC's ... not a problem and same solution. Make quick haste of them.

With master sword alone I would take a fair beating by most high end enemies... and with Master CH alone, my pets would probably get smoked quite quickly or take forever to kill anything... but adding the combo is incredibly fun and effective.

Also, I've seen a lot of comments about adding master brawler for heavy sword for PVP. That's all well and good, but it's quite fun in my opinion to send a arachne warrior, death's head (720 pvp dmg) or screecher (Plague strike disease) ... rushing in against any TK or any other pvp'er and seeing them deal with 2 uber pets AND a master heavy sword... now that's generally a problem for any pvp'er taking on a swordsman who is also a master CH.

Swordsman for me seems to be the perfect fit for Master CH. Just my opinion of course... but I've found I can take on almost anything with the combo.

Toss in Pharm IV so I can use stim d's on myself... and there's a magic combo. IMHO.

Cheers,

This was my template, first 2 month of the game.....IMO Creature Handler is n00bish.

Well,

I'm not into the whole "What's in vogue" thingy... I do master CH because frankly, I downright enjoy it. Nothing more rewarding to me than tracking down an uber rare pet and taming it.. then using it to own some pvp'ers...

Imagine that... doing something because it's enjoyable... There's a novel concept for this game.

I definitely have to disagree with you on the noobish thing.. it's a great profession and I enjoy it as much as heavy sword.

I can solo two bull rancors with Master Sword and Master brawler, Lunge 2 + Warcry works wonders, so does food, spice and the right armor.

CH is just tired now, I'm so glad the dabblers were nerfed. Now I don't walk around and see 50 gruals in town or graul feet in the cantinas.

I was nearly a master CH at one time, gave it up to get master brawler plus other stuff and am very glad I did. Having much more fun now thanI was asjustmaster swordsman with a graul. Yesterday myself and another master swordsman + master brawler took down a nightsister Elder, it was awesome and crazyfun. Someonethrew a rancor into the mix but I tanked it most of the time - whenever it wasn't warcried it was hitting me, and they weren't love taps, either

BE'd kimogila.. i choose you!

um hate to burst your bubble but CH is the magic combo for any combat profession. It's just to tank while you level. Once you master you dont really needCH unless ur heavy PvE player. I mean its an endless supply of shields that dont hinder your xp gain and never die. If you know how to use them right the enemies never attack you.

I had that combo for a while with novice medic. I later tried it with no medic but with master brawler. It wasokay but pets were nerfed and they don't hold off attacks for nearly as much as they used to.I later dropped master creature handler for smuggler. Feign death is much more useful than master ch ever was. Just move up the Dirty Fighting line and pick up master brawler and you can solo anything in the game.

yeah i had fun with this template but after awile stoped using my creatures to solo things. and i got tired of all the ch nerfs. just couldn't take it any more. so i droped MCH and picked up master brawler meditation 4 and rifle 4004 qnd i can solo just as good as i did with mch and i'm having alot more fun. i loved mch but it just got to old.

though i got to say i will miss my friezled graul. he's still in my data pad to : D

Ancient Bull Rancors are on the menu even without Master Brawler.

Too bad a cant loot any teeth worth anything.

If I'm armored and buffed I don't even have to use warcry or bleeds on ancient bull rancors, just five headhits, seeya.

At this point in the game pets are kind of newbish. They do so little damage compared to what a meleer can do. In fact, I hate groups that have pets and won't even join them. They just get in the way.
