Swordsman Archive

I started grinding swords a couple of days, dedided I wanted a change from TKM, and have a couple of questions I'm hoping people here can answer.

Firstly, is there a good swordsman FAQ? I've searched for one with no luck.

What are good and great stats for min and max damage and speed on power hammers and scythes before slicing?

When I hit master, what's the best weapon to use? Am I best going for the extra damage on a power hammer, or the extra speed on a scythe? Or, should I just change it depending on the resists?

Thanks for any help, sorry to post questions you've no doubt seen a million times before!

As a master swordsman you will want to use 2 weapons, the scythe and the power hammer. No matter what combat class you are, a creature's resists should always be a huge influence on what weapon you should use. Your two damage choices are of course, kinetic and blast. If the creature has lower kinetic resists than blast use the scythe, vice versa use the hammer. All things equal, your choice. Try to pick up some 2h speed skill tapes/aa's. Without them your struggling to swing the hammer with any kind of speed. Until then, I would suggest using the scythe whenever you can get by with it. Faster and more accurate. As far as stats go.....I make some of the best hammers on our server...138-470, spd 5.3 unsliced. A good scythe should be 180+ min damage, 300+ max damage, spd 2.7 or lower. Hope this helps a little. Good luck.
