Thread: Anyone else 'feel' they have too few commands?

It's weird to feel like I have far less moves, because I counted them and Swordsman gets 11 specials, the other elite melees get 12 (TKA gets 11 hits but also meditate, FoW and powerboost, so it's safe to say they're not scrambling for moves ). Only one hit less then the rest, yet it feels like I have much less.


I think that also has a reason, TKA had various state effect moves whereas Swordsman replaces them all with mind specifics. The other 'problem' so to speak is that there's no reason to use area attack 1 and 2 when you have 3, same for spin attack 1 or head hit 1-2, sweep 1. As a TK Master I used almost every move at my disposal bar combo1/2. In Swordsman,because of the lack of different effect moves, there's only a handful you end up with that you can use, the others are simply the same effect but less powerful. Am I just not yet used to or is this considered not so good by others as well? Does any master swordsman still use melee2hhit1 or area attack 2? I know i'll be using area attack 1 a lot still because I love the animation, but it's the thought that counts

I agree that a lot of our attacks are all very samey, I would like to see more state varying attacks - like a stun, how do we not have a stun ? Considering our main weapon is a 25lb explosive sledgehammer and we specialise in head hits, how do we never stun anything ?

yeah we have far to many special that do the same thing. i mean we get like 5 area/postre change attacks and we only have use for one or two of them. then comes the two bleeds and soon we will only need one of them. teh 3 head hits again onl use one or two of them and then the normal hits and mostly we use 2-hand hit 2 or 3. so out of all theser attacks we have i have only found4 that are usfull and use. the rest of them i never used except when i didn't have the others.


i only use head hit 3, mind hit 2, Area attack 3, and 2-hand hit 3. now with thoughs 4 atacks i can only use hh3 and mh2 together and area attack 3 alone and 2-hand hit 3 alone which means we are forcued to sit there and spam one or two attacks over and over again. unless we have master brawler then you can trough in an intimidate a war cry and a lunge 2.


but if your a master swordman by it self you are just about forced to spam attcks since we have next to no variates in them. i mean i am only rifle 4104 and i use more attacks with rifle then i ever did with sword. but the problem comes to what attacks can we get. for only thing i see us getting is a dizzy attack that works almost all the time opossed to what we get with area attack 3 and 2-hand 3 which it seems is not even sopoosed to dizzy in teh first place since it is not listed in the explination of the attack.
