Thread: Hows this for a melee helper
I had an idea today. Seeing as the finess boxes on the swordsman tree are virtually empty, and as we are the "knights" of the SWG universe, I propose that in each finess box Swordsman get a 10% reduction in armour encumbrance. I mean we should be the same as a medieval knight and knights all wore heavy armour. So as we go up the finess tree we get 10% per box to 40% and an additional 10% at master. That would make us true tankers I think. There is really no reason that most non-melee classes should be armour wearing, but swordsman it should be a givin that we wear the biggest and the best.
What do you think?
Maybe just a move cost reduction instead as you get better.
That way all races benefit from it and those that choose not to wear armor (like me) also benefit from it.
The biggest problem I have with armor is the upkeep to be able to do what I do. Meaning I will kill myself wearing armor trying to do specials unless I have doc buffs, food, and spice running. A lot of extra stuff that for the most part is just not worth me getting my hands on for that extra protection.
