While our 2h leveling may be tough, the rewards are amazing. I just fell in love with my area attacks =)

Dude what attack? I am on Starsider too - where was this?

Thank you =). I am on starsider yes and that was me.. I still was pretty shocked. The attack posture lowers and has a chance for knockdown. I'm sure you can guess which one I'm talking about. In my opinion it is the best attack out of all melee styles =).

You're on starsider right? If so, I witnessed the whole thing. You were amazing heheh

most of our attacks lower stance, but stances only apply to humanoid npcs and players. Our knockdown ability is derived from master brawler, the 2h lunge 2 attack.

she's talking about area attack 3. it lowers posture and dizzies so when they get back up it has a chance to knockdown

So you would have to successfully hit them twice with an area 3 for a chance at a knockdown?

No, if they try to stand up from kneeling while dizzy they have a chance of being knocked down. If they stay kneeling they dont, but then they cant kite

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM???? i'm halfway though swordsman and can't figure it out. I know i've used area attack 2 alot and have yet to lower anythings posture, or knock anyone down.

I am assuming this happened before the last patch?

I said so many times. It was the best ability swordsman get.

But now that damage has decreased, in any situation that you can use it, you are dead meat. You may have used to be able to take on a ton of people at once, because you could 1 shot half of them the first swing, and kill the rest of them on the next.

But now, it'll take like 10 of those to kill anyone....which means you'd have 11 people shooting at you for 10 rounds....which means you would die pretty quickly.

But....it is still killer in PvE, so it's far from useless. And even in PvP, it's still a good choice to use almost always.

no this was postpatch.. but I was spiced =)

Kinda had more own advanture with the area attacks..

started attacking an overt rebel at the kaadara shuttle and several medics began to heal him so in response to that I spammed some AOEs...ended up killing 3 of them. Got outta hand though when I found myself being attacked by 2 CH pets and a group of 10 imps...got 2 more kills before they took me down. I...love..being...a...swordsman!

Me too
