Swordsman Archive

Is it me or has swordsman become very popular? 3 months ago and you could never find someone to train you. Today, I'm out in remote place in a room with 4 swordsman that aren't connected (guild / friends). I see about 5 swordsman while leaving corellia as well.

So is it me or has swordsman become real popular?

holocron or choice?

I started seeing alot of them once people started realising whats the worst thing you can do to damage someone in pvp. mind bleeds and wounds will quickly end anyones fun so people are all over it. which sucks in a way cause you know the nerfs are coming like they did to CH when it got too popular.....guess i'll have to start another proffesion sooner then i thought.

well i love melee=) I already masted tkm(almost cried when i dropped it) then since i couldnt find any holo's, i decided what the heck ill just master all the melee professions... Anyways i got 1 more box till master, and **edit** can i say i love fencer lol. The animation is awesome, the group dizzy/spin attacks rock, and i still sort of have a knockdown move against npc's dizzy/lunge 1.

Anyhow im gonna master brawler next then master swordsmen, so youll see1 more swordsmen running around!.

on wanderhome i can stand arround a starport or something, and i used to be the only swordsman, and on alot of occasions the only melee person. but now i see at least one or two other swordsman, or three or four other melee people. i think its because the ranged are beginning to see the damage that we can put out, and the ammount of punisment we can take.

as i had a duel with a bounty hunter/pistoleer, the person was amazed at the damage i took, and how long i stood from the barage of shots being fired, and also was shocked that i hit for a bleed of 455... so as i said the ranged are realizing the possibilities of melee.

I recently changed to Swordsman, very near to mastering it and it's been slow because I tend to be casual, and enjoy the game. My choice was dictated by upcoming changes in the CH profession.

My original spec was MCH-MRanger. When the first nerf to CH came, and it was no longer a viable full combat profession (back then, pets didn't add to difficulty levels of your missions so you couldn't even get good money anymore) I dropped all points while 1 box short of Master Ranger, and decided to invest in Novice Pistoleer some, and Master BE becauseI loved CH so much. Crafting is horrible to me.. that hurt.

The new changes to CH state that the pets will not hold agro, that the mob will zero in on the controller or anyone healing a pet. It became fairly obvious to me that I needed more combat if I was going to keep my beloved MCH, which is my reason for enjoying the game. Because almost every mob closes to melee range, I decided to switch to a brawler class. Seeing each strength as it stood at the time, I decided swordsman would be most fun to me.

I will not be surprised to see more MCH going melee, if the changes are the way they sound to me.

A Human Master Doctor/Maser Swordsmand buffed with mind buffs and food, is **edit** near unkillable

I dueled 2 Commandos at once and they could not belive that, #1 I could out heal thier damage, and #2 when I did hit them, it was for a ton of damage, usualy Domination( for posture change and dizzy), then MIndstike 3,Head Hit 3twice..game over.

I have a 70% resist to all but stun Comp helm, and BH's cant belive that they are not able to mow me down with eyshot (buffed 2000 mind pool), not to mention I counterattack a lot

In PvP a Master Heavy Swordsman/Master Doc is NASTY

the reason I say Human is becasaue you can drop all your stats and subsats to 400 and raise your Mind/Focus/Will very high witht he +100 to every pool humans get.

My tempate is 400/400/400/400/400/400/1000/1000/900

opps I forgot to add my point to why people are making swordsman (besides the order from a spinning cube)

some are realizing the power that I mentioned above
