Finally hit Master Swordsman about 20 mins ago. I was a MBH, but a little blue box said Master Swords, so I went for it. It's been great fun. Just opened my second holo and it says TKM. I'll give up all my Marksman skills before I give up any of my swords skills - I just gotta play a little with the upcoming sythe! Looks great.

I don't want to get my hopes up for the scythe just to be let down again by this game. If your expectations are low, you'll rarely be disappointed.

Alright, i heard this from a buddy.. he was saying that likeother professions when you reach master, the speed of a weapon generally doesn't matter.. so if this is true, what is it for swordsman? (like is there a set time in between specials?)

It's not true,a master swordsman doesnt cap its fighting speed like would (for exemple) a TKM do.
You'll need 2H speed points to cap it. You can have a bonus of +25 2H speed from various skill tapes.
Once you have that +25 bonus, you'll be able to consider yourself capped!
So speed is an important matter when it comes for choosing a weapon as a swordsman.
For exemple, i chose not to buy all these expensive speed tapes, so i go for fast weapons (scythes for exemple).
Fast swordsmen, that are capped, can use the most damaging Power Hammers, and still use their special at the speed cap (1hit per second).
Hope it helps,
Killy

with master your speed prettty much becomes 1.0-2.5 depending on the speed of the weapon your using most likely 2.5 or so with a hammer with a 5.4 speed, with a good scythe you'll be attacking at around 1.0.

Hmm that sucks... I've never seen a +25 for 2h melee speed
Yea, scythes ARE fast, BUT,they'remostly good for pve but they suck in pvp since its kinetic damage and their damage usually doesn't get that high (maybe like 300, or just over). i have like a 170-500 4.0 hammer (sliced) and its pretty good in pvp..
edit= smuuth, i dont think thats right... or something.. my speed on my hammer is 4.0 and im master, it doesnt attk every second
edit2= ok nvm i read it wrong

Hmm, im on the same server and there aresome scythes with +400 max. damage...second most ppl wearing comp or wooks by now the hunting suits...good effective slice on it and blast resistance is as high as kinetic...using a spd.-sliced scythe will be the better way to go....u can deal lots more damage per second....use a ph only when your pve opponent has high kinetic resistance and is vun to blast(like ns elders)...
