Swordsman Archive

Not sure of all the numbers, just a remembering from so many posts read :

-Melee and ranged defenses are capped at 125.
-Speed at 100.
-Defenses like KD etc..at 90.

I would appreciate to be corrected and completed.

AFAIK these caps are correct...

My big question is:

Because I've thought about taking TKA and Fencer skills to accent my Swordsman skills (namely TKA 4404, Fencer 2220) - but I'm not sure if I should, because I'm unsure of the existence of a skill bonus cap. Any help would be quite appreciated.

• Master Brawler - Gives u+5 2h-Spd. ; +5 2h-Accuracy ;+5 2h-Toughness ; Intimidate2(Sticks easier and last longer) ; Lunge2(20m rnaged KD for Swordsman)


• Master Sword - After the last Patch NPC uses there specials again...so soloing an ns elder will be much harder but still its possibile...any "animales" like dune kimo etc. are afaik not effected...


• Fencer 0-4-4-0 - For stacking defense. U gain good def vs. stun/dizzy/blind/kd and some more melee migration


• TKA 3-3-0-4 - For some more defense and the ability to mediate. U can cure disease/poison/bleeds while mediate and have powerboost....


• Scout 1-0-0-0 - U will love terrain negotiation while hunting and have the ability to gather ressources...If u wanne harvest large amount of ressources pick up a droid with some nice boni for harvest. mine has +105...


• Novice Medic - IMO a must have for any fighter template. The ability to use stims "b" safed some times my own or the life of a friend in game...

For stictly PvP may use m-brawler/sword/fencer 0-4-4-0/tka 2-3-0-4/pike 0-0-4-0 and novice med...u have some insane defense-stats and the abilty to use some badass dot-weapons(knifes, pikes etc.).

A good allround template u have in mind, but without the xx4x line TKA is frankly pointless as an offensive profession - if ur gonna go TK and not do Power Techs, just do 4xx4 - Meditation (Inc Powerboost and Force of Will) and decent Melee/ranged defence.. then save ur skillpoints for either some fencer (4xxx for more melee/ranged defence or whichever Fencer line gives the state-defences - your choice). Like the wookie said tho, it really depends on whether ur gonna go PvE mostly or PvP - Melee & Ranged defence are good for PvP, Counterattack and state defenses are better for PvE..

Oh and afaik once u get to master swordsman u will have melee mitigation 3 so getting it again on another profession will do nothing for u

Looks like the Speed/defence caps are correct to my knowledge - Counterattack caps at 125 too, as with block/dodge.

meep! forgot to say - whether you're going PvE or PvP Master Brawler is great get it if u can spare the skillpoints... or even if u cant

hehe each to his or her own - FoW has saved me from various nasty deaths in it's time - usually u stand back up free from aggro and with full HAMs again - Free from aggro for just long enough to collect your thoughts and either begin fighting again or /burst to a safe location to re-assess your tactics

I've looked at a couple of stacker templates and have been able to have a Swordsgirl template with Max Melee/Ranged Defence which includes 4xx4 TK and SP to spare for medic 2200.. so i guess it's not what you've got but how u use it that counts

Woot...Than there was a swift...i last read the sticky thread at the TKA-Forum and may got it wrong...When u go back from incap with fully HAM thats a great winner! Will test it myself asap...thx for the information...

You don't need the full TKA x4xx tree you only need a max of TKA x3xx the last one being pretty much uesless unless you want knockdown2.

I prefer TKA 4314 to compliment my MasterSwords... having all the state attacks (especially dizzy and knkcdown) is extrmely useful in PVP and the TKA 43x4 part of the tree compliment Master swords beutifully in PVE.

I miss not being abale to have medic... but then some things you just have to bite the bullet and accept in that line the meditative tree is a MUST have wihout medic. Certaily made my life a lot easier.
