Its good? hmm havent tried it in PvP yet, only in a duel with a fencer, in with i hit him only once for pitiful damage.


i just got a new scythe, it was 2.2 speed and 177-314 damage unsliced. My other Scyther was 2.0 speed, and ive jsut about hit the speed cap with it, it does most specials at just over 1 sec each. Unfortunately, i got a speed slice, taking the speed down to 1.7 on my new one, so should definately smash the speed cap.

I tend to use Power hammer in PVP as the Kentic res is so high on most comp armour now , but last night i found it very effective in PVP compared to fencer, fencer is by faster but i find swordman better damage

Well, even tho my Scythe cost 650k, i cant afford the speed attachments, good ones sell for way above a million, and PvP just isnt worth that much to me.

Swordsman in pvp is wonderful from my perspective. I don't lose much to anything other then Rifleman.

I am a master Rifle, Master Sword, TK 4004.


Against melee oponnents I use rifles.


Against ranged oponnents I use powerhammer.


That way I can usually avoid the ranged/melee mitigation and get as much damage on them as possible. As for your fencer, I highly recommend camping the Geonosian cave for some Acklay bones and get an acklay stun baton made. If you are not using a stun baton in PVP, you are making a big mistake.


That is all I have to say for now.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Camping a spot is bad...


Anyway, Areahit3 is the most lethal move we have in our arsenal for large scale pvp, especially base defense. Get yourself stationed in the door way of the base for the defense, or after your team has a hold of the base. Wait for people to rush the base, get a downward look on your character with the camera view (this helps when tabbing to nearest, it only checks the ones you can see on screen, so it will get a target right next to you), start spamming areahit3 (chance for dizzy/chance for posture down). My current record is dropping 6 people to flopping in a base defense with this tactic, and then the server crashed.


I personally am mixing carbineer/swordsman for the AOE status attacks with carbineer. And the ranged AOE dizzy and AOE kd definatly have their place in a combat repetoire.

Yep thats what Ive got too... Ive also got a macro for PvP that switches to my spraystick and does the status attacks. then to my gamorean then grooved for lunges... It works well but people start whinning that you poisoned em... So heres how you do it to make em REALLY whine.

Stack all 4 mindbleeds on em and the 2 sword ones with a gamorean and a grooved... YES IT STILL WORK CUZ DEVS CANT EVEN NERF RIGHT. Spraysticks are great at melee range (not much damage but GREAT for STATUS ATTACKS) So slapping that stun on a melee guy is a MUST along with the DIZZY.

The big problem using swords in PvP is accuracy. If you fight a stacked fencer with a lil pistols and dodge food your hammer becomes usless because you can not hit him. He/she will be like Neo and dodge your every attempt. Your only chance is to lower his defenses by keeping him intimidated and use a high accuracy weapon/+ Acc Tapes & AA. I believe there is accuracy enhancing food out now also. That is why the Scythe is used alot by swordsman who PvP because of its higher accuracy. Another way to slow a fencers attack is to invest in some stun resist armor.

Your template is sound and going to fencer during PvP was a good choice. Keeping a looped CoB macro going, good stun resist armor, and an ackly stun baton (much higher damage) as stated in a previous post may have netted better results. Also while in fencer mode do what your enemy is doing..eat a helping of Pikatta Pie. I've seen some that stuff (bio enhanced) adding +39 to dodge with a 29 filling.

Good luck and kick some butt.
