Swordsman Archive

Im currently a master CM/Rifleman and Im thinking of swapping the CM for Swordie. I have a Jedi so here is pretty much what I need from my alt and I need you all to help me decide if I should swap or stay where I'm at.

- Kill mass amounts of NPCs for crystals (pref highend mobs for possible loot in addition to crystals)

- Kill Krayyts (at least the small ones)

- Hold my own in PVP and base raids (I hear Swordies can take out turrets, this true?...what about AT-ST?)

- Make easy creds quickly

- Have FUN!

--I should mention I have another char too whos a master Doc/Musician so buffs aren't a problem.

I used to love CM but lately I find I don't really use it anymore except for PVP and even then the rifle

is usually more than enough to finish the job. My partner is also a rifle/CM so when we go out the CM

is pointless anyway. With the addition of the new resist foods and brandy regen ...my poisons are

not the 'Finger of God' they used to be. If no other question gets answered I'd really like to know about

the Krayyts. Can a master Swordie take a Juvi solo? or was that nerfed out with the bleed?

i don't think anybody will be able to solo krayts without warcry.

also i have heard buffs are being nerfed to a max of 1900 making this even harder.

course im sure some people will say they can still do it with good armor.

most npcs are easy if you use the right weapons and moves.

yes we can take out turrets better than anybody except maybe a commando, simpley because they are weak to blast.

if you have a few swordsman and a CM to heal them all no turret will last long.

credits - you can kill mobs really fast with the right swordsman moves if that is what you mean.

everything really comes down to armor and how good it is. we do have a high damage output but so do LLCs, Flamethrowers and even TKs (with a constant stream of unmitigated attacks)

TKs can still kill faster than most swordsman simply because of our spd cap (75 at master/80 with master brawler)
