Swordsman Archive

I have searched around a bit, and havn't found a FAQ, wondering if there is one?

If not, I have a few basic questions I haven't found an answer for.

What skill boxes should I gain first as I advance in swordsman?
Which specials actualy work? and which should I use?
At what point will I hit a speed cap? (ie Master with a 3.0 speed or whatever)
What powerups do you prefer to use? (Currently have some +speed +Mind)

Appreciate any other hints you might have,

Thanks,

lvl technique (and finesse) 1st, speed and acc are always the 1st thigns u should lvl, after that its up to you if you go defense or offense.

i personally used a 2.0 curved sword 'till technique 2, then a power hammer sliced down to 3.6 with speed/point blank p/u's. added +9acc and brought it down to a 3.0, everythign went real fast from there
