Swordsman Archive

well, i dropped 2/4/4/4 in BH for swordsman. not because i got a holocron (i think they are proly just as bugged as the rest of this game so i won't be chasing any) but because i got really really bored.

now i'm master swordsman, and i gotta say i love this prof. played right, noone can beat us in duels. (except maybe a BH who gets in a good LLC shot right off) i had alot more fun xping this prof than i did bh, and pvp is much more fun also. now i must use good solid tactics if i wanna survive an evening of rebel hunting.

too anyone that wants to know if it's worth the time and pts to hit master swordsman, well i sure think so. that 2hmeleehit3 is a pretty uber attack with the PH in both pvp and pve. i was hitting mobs for 4k+ on average last night, and in pvp hit 3 and area attack 3 are both pretty much one hit incaps

i was planning on going tka master and dropping swordsman, but after totally spanking a tka master last night who was buffed with powerboost, and i was totally unbuffed, i decided maybe not lol. besides, it's kinda fun being one of the least popular professions.

What a funny coincidence, Allibobba. I also dropped BH 2444 for Swordsman and completely out of boredom from BH and the hope of fun found in SM. Although I have so far just attained 0002. Still I like it quite a bit.

drop'd commando fer swordsman, an loving every minute of it )

i started with swordsman, i guess three months ago now... i havent mastered yet because i lost my bloodlust for a while and created a dancer character on intrepid, and play that one quite often, but not as much as my swordman for when i do want to kill things, the best way is to use the good ol powerhammer to bash some skulls... i just wish fambaa werent pack animals, they should change them back to being solitary hunters i enjoyed hunting them. i can take one solo, its close but i can do it, but now if i attack one, or move 60 m away and use taunt i still somehow have two raging fambaa charging at me which would hard press anybody.

enlighten me about wich line to start with.

i have to maste swordsman per holocron and i want to get it over with fast

i got atsts to tank lairs i just need to know what area attack inflicts most damage and is fastest i guess but any other hints would be much appreciated

Thanks alot in advance

i was capped in combat xp when i started so i got the first 2 finese boxes straight off. went for the headhit first. mind bled and spammed head hit was about all i did the whole time.

the area attacks aren't good against higher lvl mobs unless you want to posture change them so you can get away. they are good however on things like the reptilian fliers on dath but i certainly don't recommend them against the kamuriths.

i got master medic along with swords, so i can take on solo mobs easily, for more than that i picked up ch and used a gsp to tank multiple mobs. i would say, you want the finesse boxes and the spd tree first. i think that's 0/4/0/4, then the rest will come alot easier.

Too bad you aint on the kauri server....no one can beat you in duels huh? I would like to take you up on that!

heh, i never said nobody can beat me in duels, but so far i have beaten down a tka master, commando, BH and a few assorted gimp profs that don't amt to much.

depends where i am fighting really, if i'm out in the open, i can't win except against the noobs in kaadara that come stand next to me lol. but in a med center or some other close quarters type spot, swordsman are extremely deadly not just one on one, but vs. many because of our area attacks.

other night, i incapped 5 ppl with one area attack from my powerhammer. that only works on the unbuffed, but even on those that are buffed if you hit mind they go down fast :0

given thati have no ranged capabilities anymore, i'm surprised to be having this much fun pvping now and even more surprised that i can be effective at the same time.

if they ever fix that annoying "out of range" msg. it will be alot better.

curenytly i'm master pikeman and master ch... so i think i'm gonna ditch the ch and learn swordsman. i'm almost to novice and i still have some combat xp saved up to give me the fast finesse 1. then a quick finesse2. so that should hlep. one of my firends is workign on mastering it now... i think he will be done tomorrow... he siad just kill lots of stuff... and use mind bleed and shots...
