Swordsman Archive

I am new to swordsman. In fact I am not even there yet. I started my brawler as a pikeman, then I realized that as a Wookie, I would want a bowcaster some day, and it would be better to attack the same pool with both weapons, so I took up 2H Sword. A move that I am VERY happy with. My 2H Curved sword is twice as fast and does better damage witheach hit than my lance ever did.

Now to the question. I was looking through our skill boxes. Expert Sword Finesse, is going to cost 120,000 combat experience, and at least on my computer, it is absolutely empty. All the other melee professions get something in that box. Either a new attack or at least some defensive bonuses. We get nothing, except moving one box up the ladder? Has this been explained to us? Are they planning on putting anything in this box, eventually?

Thanks.

As of now Graeme it is just a big ol' exp sink hole.

Bad thing is you need this empty box to get the stackable bleed....

Just think of Mind Hit 2 as the best bleed in the game.

Cause it is.

Granted that's not really a great justification for having an empty box before it but I feel it was worth two boxes of xp to get.

Even though I want the bleed, it ticks me off to no end and when I see that blank box................

So basically what they are saying, is the skill we get in the fourth box is so good that they left the third box empty. Now I can hardly wait to get that fourth box :>

It is.

I hit a player with a 950 damage mind bleed yesterday (just Mind Hit 2, no stacking).

That's a one hit kill he cannot avoid. I let him run around a bit and shoot me a couple times cause I knew it was coming.

You can't tell me there's another class in the game that can do that reliably (and no this is not the first time I've done that, though this was with a power hammer which can be tough to land hits with).
