Q1: largest concern for me is the Weapons. When the CU was Introduced it was saying that Every Weapon will have a use and that there will no longer be 1 uber weapon. As i look at the weapons we get this is Far from true.
We will still only have one Ubah weapon and that will be the Power Hammer. Then sometimes we will switch to the Sith Sword and the Scythe when we need a change in secondary damage type. I believe this should not be the case i want to be able to use a diffrent version of the weapons at master like Advanced versions of them that give a diffrent variety in weapons to use but not have the all the same.
Q2. I really love the Specials that Swordsmen gets in the trees and i like how they kept our role as most wanted it. Highest damage class(on par with Rifle and commando) and have the ability to tank for a short amount of time when need be.
Q3. i would definently add advanced weapons of the N00b weapons so we could be able to use them at master. here is where i posted a more indept post of what i would like to change. i will change the first post shortly to make it more of a what i would change with a few of the weapons and such.

Q1: The field-of-viewaddition doesn't work very well for the melee professions, and when swarmed by creatures/npc's that will always run up to you, and circle around you, target out of rangehappens alot. We need a combat que, where we can load up our nexxt 4-5 attacks.

Q2: The new weapons look cool
Q3: a master swordsman or fencer should be alotcloser to being able to use a lightsaber(but doesn't necessarily have to be a jedi, ala Han Solo) than a guy throwing grenades.

Just wanted to summarize my post above for question 1
Swordsman on a hi tech battlefield is just cannon fodder. I swordsman in close range combat should be a formiddable god with crazy defenses and high damage. I'm concerned if they kill our PVE abilities it will become a useless and playerless prof.
There, why didn't I say that in the first place.

Good questions... too bad I got too fed up with the horrible slow rate of XP to even get novice swordsman.

A buff session is a standard unit of time isnt it? ala "I cant believe it took me 3 buff sessions to finish that paper!" hhmmm, maybe this is why my friends look at me weird all the time.

haha. ya a buff session on live means about 3 hours of time. but on TC there are diffrent types of buffs so now when someone says oe buff session which buff session are they talking about.
the short term buff that is 20% of your hams or the long term buffs that is 10% lol. or are you talking about Insperation buffs.
but any way atm i do not think it is possible with the state in which the XP is set up that someone can get to novice Swordsmen on Test Center in under 3 hours that is from novice brawler that is. maybe though from 1-hand 4 and 2-hand 4 and if you do it in a group it is possible under 3 hours.
and ya i hate papers that take over 3 buff sessions to complete. i have had ones that took me 4 buff sessions+ before /shutter.

Lol yes I was talking about live - and as you will get to migrate all your combat and med skill points once when CU goes live it is still valid to make that claim (GRIND EM WHILE YOU CAN PEEPS).
Anyway dont want to hijack the thread - back to the Q&A

Q1: I heard there there will be no area attack. That makes me cry.
Q2: The new swords. I think more weapons will give the profession (and all other professions) some flavor.
Q3: Get rid of the Power Hammer, as it is not a "sword", like the word "swordsman" implies we are using. With that, get rid of the axes as well and replace them with something else, or even nothing at all.

My largest concern is not beeing the damage dealer i should be a carbineer with same lvl as me did 2 times the damage when i was 1000 swordsman (same as him but carbine)(oh and more weapons to use would be nice aswell)
Yes i like it too as swordsman should be highest damage dealing profession (with rifle and commando)im looking forward to it happening
Giving swordsman some more abilitys that make it differant from other melee classes making it an independant profession even without stacking with other profs
