Swordsman Archive

ok so i'm working on my alt template right now...

here's what i have currently

swordsman 0-4-1-2

master merchant

shipwright 4-0-0-0

medic 2-1-0-0

novice scout

what i'm going to do

master swords

merchant 3-0-0-4

no shipwright

medic 4-4-2-0

novice scout

this leaves me with 34 skill points....

i'd like to start doing some PVP for fun, nothing too serious, and enhance my PVE skills at the same time

i was thinking picking up TKA 0-0-0-4... the combat tree offers some good defenses and it would be relatively easy to get once i master swords

so basically i can take 1 tree of any secondary brawler profession at hit exactly 0 skill points. just wondering what would be the best to take considering PVP defenses

ok i may have answered my own question, but i'm torn between these 2:

Fencer 4-x-x-x

or

Pikeman x-x-4-x

breakdown.....

Fencer:

20 Defense vs dizzy
25 Defense vs knockdown
10 Defense vs posture change
10 Defense vs blind
50 Defense vs stun
3 Melee mitigation
84 Ranged defense
89 Melee defense
15 Block

Pikeman:

40 Defense vs dizzy
45 Defense vs knockdown
30 Defense vs posture change
30 Defense vs blind
70 Defense vs stun
5 Melee mitigation
25Ranged defense
35 Melee defense
85 Block

problem is the ranged/melee defense values in fencer vs dizzy and knockdown in pikeman. plus pikeman has a huge block and 5 melee mitigation.... which gives me another question... is the melee mitigation 5 that big a deal? is there any advantage? i don't know much about it, i'm going to research it...

anyways if you had to pick between those 2 to compliment swordsman which would you do and why.

Epaaj Sahagin - 1 of 2 Fish Lords
Fizziks Furlus - Gun for Hire

My saber...she dead...

I agree

don't have the SP for master brawler, the best i can do is 1 column of a second tier profession off of brawler

i need scout to harvest meats, but lemme mess around

i still need other suggestions

edit:

ok i went back through....

i HAVE to have merch 3-x-x-4 for my vendors, and enough med use to use stim C's and treat bleeding so that's medic 2-0-3-0

i dumped in master swords and master brawler and come up with 20 skillpoints left over

then i can get scout andsome speed treatment with medic.... but still would RATHER go the other way, but that'll be easier to get so i'll probably go that route first... keep em coming though
