Thread: How to get what we want.
So we have to look at the other melee professions and also be realistic in the frame work of the game.
Asking for dual wielding because fencers are getting it is silly and counter productice to what the devs are trying to do with making each profession unique.
Also if any of you bright people know of any two handed weapons in the star wars universe that are mentioned in the films or books that aren't in the game yet that seems the best way to get weapons added. Also it could be a way of getting us extra damage types if you really feel thats what we need.
i dont think we should duel weild.
thats just stupid - we use 2 hands.
if we want things done then gabe has to take our ideas to the devs - thats basically been laid down as the only way we will get changes.
thats how the carbineers got em and thats how the pistoleers are getting theirs.
some say swordsman are powerful enough - and in pve we are.
i tend to think we are an unfinished profession.
we have way to much redundancy in our specials and not enough status defense for elite brawlers.
our dmg is good- but to be honest i can only truely compete with faster/accurate profession with a +22 spd.
the ability to kill mobs doesn't = a good profession.
Haun I agree but to help us get finished I feel we have to keep in mind that devs want to keep the professions different from each other. A lot of the ideas i've heard on this forum are basically trying to take idea's from other professoins.
I hope gabe will be able to grab some of the good ideas though and present them to the devs. But if we can help him by presenting our ideas better to him it will help things.
LIKE:
A weapon that apeared in the starwars comic book GOLDEN AGE OF THE SITH
That was this huge cool crystal bladed sword... sone kinda sith battle sword.
Also a Crystal axe (maybe outta the same stuff) appeared in that comic
Also Also there was a powered axe that was all glowing and sparking with stuff used by a thug type guy (it had a belt power pack too)
Anotherone is in the TALES OF THE JEDI comic...
Exar Khun was fighting a mandalorian (for control over their armies) who was weilding a cool looking Jagged multi bladed battleaxe... And if its made outta madalorian metals its gonna be BAD-ASS.
See there IS two handed weaponry in the SW universe... the devs need to do their homework. Like us REAL geeks... or just take our advice.
....Sides the style of fighting with 2hands on one sword is entirely different than that of weilding 2 swords in real life...
a visual example we all know is in the LOTR movies: Think Legolas's sowrd style vs GIMLI or ARAGORNs style...
IVe done quite a bit of midevil re-enactment fighting along with years of martial arts... its VERY DIFFERENT STYLES and you just cant mix moves from one to another, it just doesnt work like that.
someone back me up on this one who knows how to swing a sword in real life.
lol
