Swordsman Archive

They totally nerfed all brawlers. I am only doing a small faction of the damage that I used to do. They better fix this soon because this is ruining the game for us brawlers.

The stats on my vibro axe, cleaver, and 2h axe have not changed by the looks of it. I'm going to pick up a curved sword now.

Can anyone confirm that stats have changed on 2hc swords? And if so, does this include swords we already have?

well, checked it out myself, mine seems fine, no change that I can see...whew.

Any 2-h cleavers crafted after the patch should see a good boost in stats becasue they use identical components, which were previously bugged. Also affected will be the vibro-axe, and for pikemen long-vibro-axes and vibro-lances. (LVA's especially, sicne they use 3 identical components, not just 2).

Also any weapons created with components should be able to get further increases by using the new dropped enhancements which are crafted into the vibro-unit (and possibly sword core).. Of course, this means non-component weapons like the power hammer get the shaft..

im not to sword specialist yet are you guys saying ill be able to use the 2h sword that i have now?

Yes you are. Consider it your lucky day!

I find it limitlessly ridiculous that they nerfed the sword profession. It's not like it was bad enough that ranged weaponed professions had a HUGE advantage with the running and bleeding, NOW my sword does a tiny fraction of the damage it used to do.Needless to saythat with the new "improvements" i find myself on my back much more (especially from gloating ranged players), and my satisfaction of playing diminishing rapidly. I even saw this update mentioning increasing bounty hunter damage; can this be true?! Are the developers favoring one type of fighting over the other?! I can't even manage to get one hit off of someone who is running AND shooting at the same time, and as much "fun" as the developers think that is, i personally don't enjoy it all that much.

As a weaponsmith, I can say that Lanroke's criticism of two-handed curved sword stats post-patch is totally unfounded.

I just made a schematic for a 62-247 damage / 2.6 speed 2h curved sword. That sounds pretty good to me...

The schematics for the normal and advanced blade vibro units allow for looted enhancements.

There is no such allowance in either sword core schematic, so I wouldn't expect to see enhancements for those.

My 2-handed curved sword is unchanged too. I still cannot believe it is a armor piercing 2 weapon I think some of you guys are getting hit by a certification bug. Are you guys actually swordsmen or just brawlers with a couple boxes in two-handed swords? It may be when they tinkered with the certs that they messed something up.

Go ahead. Look. The 2h Cleaver is now a fourth teir weapon cert from brawler, the beloved 2h Curved Sword has been dropped to second teir. Not HORRIBLE right? Well take a close look at your 2h Curveds, they actually changed the stats on them. They suck now. And the 2h Cleavers? They are no better than they used to be, as in the still blow. If they are going to move certification about and change one weapon's stats, why not all of them?

Thanks guys! Lets see, my Teras Kasi KD costs 700+ to use with my VibroKnucklers on, and what else...oh, my entire Swordsman's strategy has been forcibly changed overnight. What will you devs think of next!

I thought it was common practice to fix a class before you broke it. This is jus sick. BH skills got increased in power. Ours got nothing. What did I miss?

If they seriously changed the sword certifications, and lowered the stats on 2H curved...and I hear the cleaver certification is now bugged...I don't know what to say. This, combined with the total non-response on any squad leader issues whatsoever, is seriously making me consider canceling my account. I probably won't...I might just start an artisan or a pistoleer on another server...but this is ridiculous.

I'm sorry, but swordsmen DO NOT need to have their weapons nerfed.
