Swordsman Archive

Hey guys

I'm a soon to be swordsman. While i was looking over the skills and everything i noticed something that caught my eye and made me have to say something. The profession is considered swordsman right? Then why is the final weapon a Hammer? it makes no sense what so ever. So if you guys feel like that to please don't hesitate to post here. Not trying to complain just trying to point out something that is really obvious to everyone.

Thanks guys

i agree with you, i want a great sword, or a long sword or something deadly like that.. i like the powerhammer though, and i have the battlemaster title, so it doesnt really contradict anything.

cleaver and hammer should switch mesh and name btu the cleaver having better damage

i dont know what they have planned for the weapons rebalance, but i think it would be good to move the PH down into the 2h weapons for brawler, and move the cleaver or sythe to the swordsman box.

another thought would be to have a different weapon cert. at the beginning of each row (i.e. the cleaver for the row that gives you the title cleaver). but i know this won't happen until they put more weapons in game, we'll have to suffer swinging a huge tool for awhile instead of a actual weapon that cuts.

(cleaving means cutting something off,a hammer just puts a big dent in them )

hmm, if you have something like a wookiee or a trandoshan swing a hammer at the side of something's head, i would think the shere strenght and force behind the swing would RIP the head clean off.

but i do agree for the people that took up the class to use a sword, should get a sword. and for the people that took the class for the use of two handed weapons should get the hammer, and maby an axe, or something better than the hammer, like a flail, or morningstar... mind you the flail idea may not go so well as they deal with alot of animation because of the way phisics work with a heavy spiked ball dangling on a chain...

Should be a Vibro-sword. (No not vibro BLADE, sword. Vibroblades are more like long daggers)

I'm in agreement. I'm also starting up the swordsman lines right now, and I just think it's silly that the only cert in the "swordsman" profession is not a sword. it also seems kinda silly that you can put bleeds on somebody with a hammer. that's not exactly an open wound kind of weapon.

" it also seems kinda silly that you can put bleeds on somebody with a hammer. that's not exactly an open wound kind of weapon. "

Think of it as internal bleeding... crushing hits have been known to cause this. "My spleen!"

I agree, we need to make some new sword. I have a good powerhammer right now, and with speed mods its the best weapon for me.

Has anyone gotten a scythe? are they any good? where can I find one? Im kinda new to this

Lol are you saying that with the animation of mindshot 2 the sping and the jump to get more force on teh hammer that you wouldnt be bleeding if i hit your head?

the only reason i can think of for why they would put a hammer in swordsman tree is because the team that made swg is the same that made UO..... Someone thinks sword=hammer and was allour do get away with it all of their life and now look what happens. Just goes to show how bad education can really mess things up

oh btw in UO the warhammer weapon(looked like a sledge hammer) used the swordsman skill so the the halberd and bardich (polearms with an axe on the end) oh and axes also used swordsman skill lol.... beginning to see a pattern ?

:sigh: he must be a funny guy or throw great parties.... oh well

Swordsmen is a loose title its the only name they could think of giving 2handed usersweapon just like fencer only has two swords and the best weapon is a baton and a power hammer is probably from most middle times they used hammers like that like it was a sword. Just be glad it has awsome damage but i think they should make a bigger longer heavier sword for a master swordsmen so it would be special for you guys only.

They could just do a skinjob on the power hammer. Just have a new sword that has the exact same stats as the power hammer. Some cool possible swords could be a new broadsword, an odashi, a fancier katana or a 2h rantok sword.
