Swordsman Archive

Let me preface with a little info about myself:

Zabrak Master Swordsman/Master Brawler

Stats: 800/450/400 800/450/400 800/500/800 (I spend most of my time tanking while heavily buffed, thus the very low pools)

The Problem: In an effort to optimize my stats for group tanking and PvP, I have really hurt my solo ability. With the recent change to KD, I must go thru tons of stim B's trying to keep myself alive against anything over difficulty 25. I have found that there are 2 possible ways to solo: either by spamming headhit (drains away action very fast, often resulting in death) or by just using regular attacks (much slower, burns thru many stims). Neither of these is very effective, as you can see.

The Solution: Spam headhit, but switch back and forth between Power Hammer and Curved Sword DURING the fight. This effectively splits the HAM drain between health and action, so I get more attacks off before killing myself and I make more efficient use of my stims. Where as before, I could use about 5 attacks with either my sword or hammer before one of my pools was dangerously low, I can now use 3 or 4 attacks with each weapon.

Anyhow, I just thought I'd share this little trick with the other swordsman out there. Good luck and happy hunting,
