Well, I guess I'll list some other issues other than the bleed that I have with swordsman...
Meleehit3 does NOT seem to be doing much more dmg than meleehit2. I will test this more thoroughly tonight by doing like 50 in a row and calc out an average on each tonight but from general useage that's the way it seems to me.
Secondly, area attack 3 DOES dizzy. I did it today (took about 6 in a row to stick) in a duel against a TKA. I like this is it's a posture change + dizzy = they will fall down when they get up from kneeling. Sounds good to me, keep it in I say 
Spin attack 2, area attack 3, and sweep 2... that is THREE AOE moves. I am confused 
And does sweep and area not do the SAME EXACT THING!?! Posture change! Uhhh!? Area has dizzy, but is this even meant to be included.. it's so random I don't know.
And does sweep and area not do the SAME EXACT THING!?! Posture change! Uhhh!? Area has dizzy, but is this even meant to be included.. it's so random I don't know.And finally,swordsmen and food... a big issue. Now, I don't know how many of you are lizards, but I am. In order to get my focus beyond 1500 for zero ham cost,I used to take 2 x Ryschate, 1 x BOH. This would give me a plenty big focus (and strength/stam). These foods were absolutely necessary in order to solo anything big--such as a krayt. What happens now is once you ingest foods, they seem to wear off quicker and keep you fuller for longer. This right means you either have to stop spamming attacks and just wait it out with warcrys and intims while your bleeds *cough*that are now non-existant*cough* tick away or the other option is you keep attacking and die because of your -18 to -22 mind cost every second.
Now, obviously you're not going to do that... SO, you stop attacking... and you wait... and wait.... and wait.... and wait... it takes.. FOREVER to eat more food to continue attacking. I'm just baffled by this myself--previously I could continue to eat ryschate now and then, or I could pop a fishak if needed as a "mind stim" of sorts if I didn't want to use a BOH.
All I can say is that there better be some sort of amazingly godlike focus food now that lasts forever or else I dunno how we're supposed to kill anything, and let us not forget that while we're waiting, we don't have our nice bleeds to tick away.
I tried to refrain from ranting or flaming... I'm just trying to show our situation... I mean, we're worthless! We can't tank effectively, we can't dish out ANYWHERE near the damage we used to, and then of course there's that other issue of us not having really ANY melee or ranged defense.
Please... do some fixing devs.. ASAP. And if anyone else has something to add to this, other than the issues already stated, please add it.If you think my ideas and thoughts are good, please say so and 5 star this thread. I'd like it to be seen.

I agree with you about the food situation. I'm just going to wait and see what the chefs can come up with, I mean this stuff is pretty new and there are something like a dozen different bioengineered additives they can usetojuice up the buff, or reduce filling, extend duration, etc. There is so much flexibility there I think it's going to be a while before we see what's really possible.
Vasarian brandy seems to be a winner already, something like +400 to all 3 mind stats with a duration of about 30 mins. You can take two of those.
Until the chefs get things rolling again, I'll be using my prepatch sunburns and ryshcate. Not sure how things will go after those are used up, maybe by then there will be some new stuff I can switch over to.

See what i dont get is im a mhs and a 4004 CM yet my mind poison 2s do more dmg now than they ever did. i can deal with no bleeds but we need another skill to compensate for it.
