i started out as a 0 0 0 2 swords, because of saved up combat xp. i did offense first (far right) this will make you lv faster with the aoe attacks and medium mob lairs. gurks are awseom for this on lok, i did almost all of my sword there in about 3 days and massses a ton of herb meat. then go defenses after you get offenses. the other 2 are at the same time kinda thing, but i was a 4 1 4 3 in the second day of being a sword man, and i did all the 1- 4 brawler sword on rori with a nice speed sliced 2h curved (1.8 speed 240 damage) hope this helps

oh yea might wanan get somr good armor, i did all sword in hybrid stun/kin (head chest feet stun 23%, rest kin 80%) armor. some buffs brandy and some muon just incase

the leveling resembles the one of my fencer a lot..

but now, what attacks do you use the most? is there some list of attacks + state effects? (dont really need dmg/time multi..)

thx

are you saying aoe 3 does: posture down, dizzy, blind and kd?

damn, thats more states then most profs have in only 1 attack

but with that theres no use for sweep moves I suppose?

it pdowns and dizzys ive also had the blind bleed and kd happen from it but thoes dont always happen.

i never use sweep it dosent seem to do as much damage

thx for the advice I'll start the grind tommorow

one last question though.. I suppose cob only works with the weapon your are holding? so I cant cob with my baton, then switch to my hammer/etc to make use of the fencer bonusses?

in clear language: are the cob bonusses weapon specific?

go up tech first for speed(allows u to use a ph effiecently)

then get spin2(0010 which u also get some defenses) or area1. screw the posture change and what not that area1,2,3 has to offer, same dmg, and pve, its no big deal.

then go to dath, go up to a lair(non mission, not on a hill and craggy bolmas and anyyupe of baz), make a macro to use your area hit ever second, use that on the lair, many come out, many dead, and if you have armor+buffs it should be cake

you will find this boreing, but effiecent

me personally, i went up tech then area attacks(didnt know about dmg changes) and just wacked kwi lairs(im a doc so their intidate went away easily). 4-5k xp, if i could redo it, i would do what i said above, at least with the order

armor and buffs are absolutly the way to go.

well, I think it is better to get spin 2 before tech.. the stronger area attack will make it a lot easier to level techniques..

anyway, thats from my experience with other profs..
