The big thing with rifleman and swordsman is that you can do ranged mind, then if the thing comes close you have a heavy hitting weapon for close range. if i wasnt going a full melee template i would go swordsman rifleman.
a rifleman friend and i can team up and kill alot of pretty big things.

Ugh... those numbers are HORRIBLE. I was planning on going swordsman to compliment rifleman (mind damage), but it looks like i'll be going TKA or fencer instead. Look at the defencive values for them.

Well, nobody ever claimed Swordsman was a defensive powerhouse. 
Fencer has a lot more defense than Swordsman.
TKA has a lot more utility than Swordsman.
Swordsman is a lot more fun than both.
As soon as the Scythe goes live, thats exactly the excuse I need for myself to scrap all the work i've done on my template thus far to go back to swordsman.
Well, I think we knew that Swordsmen weren't supposed to be huge defensive tanks, but geeze! After looking at those numbers I had no idea we were that, well.. with lack of a better work.. crap!
Well, roll on the combat balance
