Ok so i'm trying to pvp with the sword, its not pathetic over all, but i've played every combat class except fencer and sword is tied with pike for worst pvp class.

Now, it shouldn't be except for three facts:

1. Ap doesn't work in pvp, just adds dmg doen't drop armor resists so vs 80% resisits your still getting your dmg blown down to nothing

2. Melee dmg mitigation, this is a huge factor in melee vs melee fights, melee classes get melee toughness stat already to mitigate dmg (some more then other tka/masterbrawler has nearly 60%), but adding dmg mitigation on top of that kills dmg further now since all melee is mitigated you would think it would cancel out, but heres the thing, as we all know tka's dont' get mitigatied sine the min is liek 250 dmg, and 70% of the melee oponents are tka, and in addition the huge dmg reductions from the combination of mitigation and melee defence often makes it more dmging to the swords man to use specials then the opponent, un buffed of cource or even with just food buffs there still killer

3. They took our bleeds, bleeds where very nice in pvp for a swords man it allowed us to stand in and not kill our own ham with specials we could focus on defence now trying to use specials and stay healed is very difficult

Just my observations

I'll admit I've had troubles PvPing with my Sword, melee really requires a high end computer to keep up with the server so you're not always out of range. But MANY people love having me with them while PvPing. I usually pair up with a MBH friend of mine and we can do some serious damage. He can KD/Dizzy a target for me then we stack on the mind dmg like no ones business. I generally stick to PvP within cities and never pursue ranged people on a line. I'll force them to come within range to fight me or not fight at all, no use in putting yourself in a situation where you can't(shouldn't) win.

Against other melee we're pretty good I think. Counterattack is pretty big when you have COB on. Plus no other melee class has a mind dmg attack as good as ours.
