Swordsman Archive

So I’m currently a master sword/ master brawler, and I’m changing my template for the last time. I want something that’s going to be solid all-around in pvp, but I also don’t want to drop master sword.

I’ve been playing with the combos for days and days, and have succeeded in confusing myself more than I was when I started lol. What do you all think of the following choices:

First option: add master fencer to MB and MHS, grab some scout and medic and call it a day. All melee goodness. No ranged, no defense against cms.

Second option: Drop brawler and … put the points into rifleman so as to have an option when people are kiting me. Pick up as much fencer as possible for the mods and some medic. Once again no defense from cms, and weaker melee defense than option 1.

Third option: Drop brawler and pick up doc 4-x-4-x to cure poisons, diseases and states… put the rest into fencer. No scout, ouch.

Just how important is scout's terrain negot/ burst run to all you swordman pvpers? Do any of you not have it at all?

Thanks in advance for any input.

well, mine is MSwords/MFencer/MBrawler/TKA 4-0-0-3 and novice medic... not a bad template for PvP at all.

Hmm.... I like having some scout skills.... And i dont see the point having bouth Fencer and Swordman, k u get a stun baton for Pvp, but i would say a good PH with ap 2 stun damage is just as good when you can fokus on mind hits.
This is my Template og today (works great)..

Master Brawler, Master Sword, 4;3;0;4 Tk 3;4;4;0 Fencer and 1;0;0;0 scout

Shuld give you good defences;

Defense Vs. Dizzy +65
Defense Vs. KD +95
Defence Vs. Intimidate +40
Defence Vs. Stun +65
Defence Vs. Posture Change (down) +90
Defence Vs. Blind +60
Meele Defence +141 (cap at 125)
Ranged Defence +119

+ the counter attack etc But all in all, try find a style that you can like, and fit....

Good Luck

o and i used to be in love with terrain nego and camps too, but trust me, its worth dropping.

95% of pvp occurs in cities anyways. medic instead of scout ppl, atleast for pvp.

Hmm. I forgot about tk meditation. Not like you can do it mid combat, but if you kill the cm quick I guess you could sneak away and meditate after.

Here's what I'm thinking now: master sword/ fencer/ brawler, 4-x-x-x TK, 3-3-x-x medic. Zero skill points left. Great defense mods, mind hit and meditate... and just enough medic to get by. Slow as hell though, and no ranged attack... oh well, someone's gotta kill me

IVe been doing really well in both PVE & PVP
with
M.H.S./M.riffles/tka 4004 and a wee bit of medic 0100

shoot the melees... melee the shooters and shoot em when they run....

+you get both mitigation 3's and maxed out melee/ ranged defense.

well, i have an acklay stun baton for PvP, and unfortunately even with a 700 max PH and capped speed swords doesn't compare, unless i'm trying to incap a kiting rifleman as quick as possible... For most melee fights an acklay stunner will far outshine a PH.
