Swordsman Archive

I really have no idea as too what weapons will be added in publish 8. I know most people are begging for a stun weapon, but i don't want it because it will make us overpowered. Personally, I'd like to see more 'different' weapons like the scythe.

Rather than giving everyone stun weapons we just need different types of armour so that stun isn't the be all and end all to PvP.

I don't care what new weapons go in, but I would like to see a hefty heavy armour piercing sword (something a LOT scarier than the scythe) and a battleaxe or other weapon that does another type of damage, electrical or heat/cold, or perhaps even a bullwhip/cat-o-nine tails type deal that does restraint damage.

I'd pay a female Master Heavy Swordsman to /duel me using a whip or cat-o-nine tails. I think there'd be a WHOLE new economy set up for stuff like that.

Are stun weapons worse than 90% composite being th "WEAR ALL" end all armor that evreyone has?? NO... ITs just that evreyone is so used to taking almost no damage they whine and cry about somthing actually being effective...

SHUT UP ALLREADY AND ADAPT....

Youve got evrey other damage covered ..why piisss and moaan about the one thing that gets through.... 9 outta 10 isnt bad....specually at 90%!!!! cmon that armor is waaaaay over powered to evreyone who DOESNT have acess to stun... witch is FAR MORE than the people who do.

I would like to see a mace, the baddest of them all. Slow but very high dmg.

Well the reason I want to see extra damage types added, though not necessarily stun, is not the composite armour issue but the fact that there are pretty low level 100% kinetic and blast resistant creatures out there - despite being a pretty easy kill HAM-speaking, a Mokk Rockshaper is 100% resistant to all my weapons, so electric or heat would at least give me some options.

I would like to see a three headed flail

I have to agree. The problem is not that Swordsman does not have a Stun weapon. The problem is that armor is too powerful. People can get buffed and armored and run around as if they have nothing to fear. Then they encounter a Rifleman with a Jawa, a Pistoleer with a Genosian Blaster, or a Fencer with a Stun baton and, suddenly, they are not blocking damage anymore and their bubble breaks. So they call nerf on the profession that has the damage type they do not protect against.

In my opinion, all armor should have multiple weaknesses. If you can get 90% blast or energy protection, then you have Stun and Heat, or Cold and Kinetic vulnerabilities. Something that makes you have to be concerned about something. And there should be a cap on the overall protection that armor can give you. Maybe you can get 50% protection on all protected stats, but if you take 90% on a stat, one of the other protected stats has to be 10%.

The problem is the armor, not the weapons.
