just mastered 2 handed sword, thank you, no need to applaud.
I want to say that this has been the most fun I've had yet in the game. I'm not a holo hunter and will be keeping my master swordsman title for a very long time since PvE is my favorite thing in this game. I am also taking up master doc and maybe some CM too but wanted to pass on a short piece of advice.
First, I've written many posts on these boards (in Fencer, TKA and some other boards) about what to kill to level fast. I want to put this list as what could be considered the end-all. Some of you may have lists you think are better, that's fine, but I think this list deserves merrit.
This includes having Novice Medic and some good stim-b's and I grouped with a driod on Dantooine. I wore, and still wear, the same armor. 80% kin comp boots, chest and left/right bracer, that's it. I'm zabrak, migrated stats to 1200 health, 900 action and 750 mind (you can figure the secondaries but I maxed the red ones and divided the others up accordingly for using lots of brandy)
novice, go to Dantooine:
0/0/0/0 pull Quenker missions.(3200 xp each)
0/0/2/1start on Savage Quenkers (4200 xp each)
0/0/2/1start on Savage Quenkers (4200 xp each)
1/2/2/2get a doc buff and start killing voritors (the buff is to offset the poison only) (4400 xp each)
1/4/3/3 Go to Dathomir
From here on out my advice is to buy some brandy. I used one with strength of 410 and duration of 40mins. I also backed up with the canape food thing that gives you a huge focus and willpower boost for 10mins.
I started in the science outpost and hit the areas near there never venturing more than 1500m from the outpost. I would drink 1 brandy and that's all.

Kurimuth Snappers (4800xp each) I found these mostly in the jungle parts. 2 can be a bit expensive on stims but not too bad.
Kwi Guardians and Rhoa Kwi (5028/4300 xp each) they spawn in pairs to the east of the outpost about 800m out on the tops of the red canyons. get 2 on your and spin
Mutant Baz Nitch andGiant Baz Nitch (4600xp) get 4 on you and spin attack.
Enraged Rancors (5048xp) - really not worth it except I got some good loot. I only took them one at a time and the best approach was head shots.

Ancient Bulls, one at a time, mind bleed, keep COB running and have about 30 stim-b's ready to go, have room to drink 1 extra brandy and you should have room to eat 2 canapes.
My point to the above list of what to kill is this. I wasted a lot of time figuring out the best xp/per hour creatures to kill in other professions. So playing 1-2 hours a day for 2 weeks and 3-4 hours a day on the weekend, allowed me to go from brawler 0/0/0/0 to master sword in that time. The key was not having to waste lots of time shuttling to other planets to find things to kill and figure out a whole new appraoch. I chose Dath and Dant for 2 reasons. Kor Vella was one shuttle away for training if there as nobody immediately around, Kor Vella was a quick hop to Coronet Cantina for mind healing.
If you take out all the time you waste in looking for the things to kill and level fast and use the above list, you will cruise through this. My problem is that I've mastered 12 professions now. I really do not know how to go the slow approach anymore to any profession in this game.
But I am done grinding weapon XP and wanted to pass my thoughts onto whoever may want them.
In the end, I'm proud to wear the Master Swordsman Title, if you're on Intrepid and need training, I'll be hanging out in the Coronet Med centers nightly around 7pm(ish)-8pm(ish) and will be able to heal your wounds and train you.

If you refine your methodology you can get 250-300k sword xp per hour just by taking gurk missions on Lok.

I found quite the goldmine for exp up on Dath. There is an instant spawn of Singing Mt Clan people in a semi-house/cave place. It might be part of their theme park, not too sure. At the front entrance there are two on a stage, both fire vulnerable, one with 10k HAM other with 20k. He was working on CH and had Flame 4, so I was tanking with his pet. I used mostly auto-attack and was racking in full capped exp every 10-30secs depending on his rolls from the flamethrower. In the end I made 100k Combat exp and capped on Weapon exp in an hour. My weapon exp capped in like 30mins.
So if you got a Commando friend I highly suggest hitting that up. The exp is just insane. Most jedi that I know can't get 100k combat exp in an hour, especially by JUST using auto-attack.

Anything above kam... snappers and rancor youths is a waste of effort. The game caps exp at 5050ish when grouped, therefore you need to kill the easiest creature that gives that much exp.

I agree with that, I got bored and started to pluck off rancors and singing mountain initiates but they were not worth the effort for grinding, but were worth the effort for gameplay.
Kwi's are definitely the best thing going on Dath. Baz Nitch would be cool too but my experience and it obviously will be different from other players, was that the Kwi spawn was much more populated than the baz nitch spawn and I was able to get 3 lairs on fire within a 400m radious that gave me a continual stream of Kwi for several hours. My problem became more of one to stop to get training cause I kept capping my exp rather than trying to find more to kill.
I was averaging 200k of exp an hour easily, last day of grinding these critters took me 4, non-solid hours to get the 800k exp to go from 2/4/4/3 to 4/4/4/4. I could be wrong, but I don't think any other planet than Dath can offer you that without a doc buff and have a continual spawn of creatures. Not to mention that 36k stack of Dath leather worth about 15cpu...

I love Lok alot. Easy and good money. Gurks aren't that hard and the missions are usualy 600-800m from the terminal. Kill everything on the way (everything mass agros so if using buffs you can go attack things andget like 12 animals(not an exageration if you are buffed and armored.) and area away. Grouped you will get major XP for almost no threat of death. especialy if you put in a well timed stim. Sure some of the animals aren't worth alot (only like 1k each or so) but when there are 12 of them going down fast...
