Thread: WOW.... Damage on the powerhammer in PVP
Artus: No, Swordsman do not "suck" in PvP now. Granted, our bleeds arent what they used to be, but that still leaves us far from sucking.
First of all, I highly reccomend getting the Jabba's theme park axe. 50 Mind disease may not seem like much, but the HAM costs on this thing are phenomenal, and in conjunction with a bleed, your enemies will slowly waste away.
Primarily, you must always be buffed in PvP if you want to use anything but the Jabba's axe. I suggest getting a powerhammer experimented for speed, as Melee Mitigation takes away much of the damage either way. Use Moun, or some of the new chef food (I cant spell it from memory so im not going to try 
) If you are fighting a group of enemies, use Two Handed Area 3 to posturechange, and perhaps dizzy. If you see thatthey are dizzy, (assuming you have Master Brawler, which is almost a must have) try to KD them with Two Hand Lunge 2. Use CoB early and often, and you should have no problem surviving in PvP, even if you are outnumbered.
The people here that say that "omg swordsman uber sux" now are just the ones that are too lazy to change their strategy, so dont listen to them so much 
Good luck with your PvPing =D

Yea, I find it funny when people who arent wookies complain about no more Defense Stacking. This is absolutely going to demolish Wookies if they do not insitute Wookie armor at the same time.
But yea, some of my hardest to kill opponents have been Wookies

PvP is for TKA's, Riflemen, Combat Medics, and Jedi Knights only. My alt is a l33t Combat Medic/Doctor who enjoys soloing entire towns of rebels. A master of the 3 medic professions will waste a Swordsmen anyday........and his 5 friends.
Not when your lousy poisons and diseases are healed and cured by my high-end heal packs.

well, the only time i was fortunate to hit him, my Powerhammer did 79 DAMAGE!! i didnt even know that was possible!!! my PH is 200-450 in damage, and I find it hard to belive.
But again... we suck in PvP... which is why I'm getting TKM to go along with Master Swordsman and Master Brawler.From what I hear its just as easy to kill a Jedi Guardian then to kill a Jedi Initiate..

state of the jedi is this, you suck until knight. then you own. hard. the road may take 2 months but when you get there your damn powerful.
also DONT USE THE POWERHAMMER IN PVP. try the cleaver with a damage slice in pvp its higher min is nice and it seems to go past dam mit 3 better then the curved. the scythe should be good for these reasons.
