Swordsman Archive

Ihave a utility belt that will never decay that has +8 2h damage, +8 accuracy, and +8 warcry....then there is my comp suit with other assordted 2h tapes. In the end I have reached the cap for 2h damage, accuracy, and close to the cap for warcry....still working on speed though as i lost a nice piece of armor to a failed repair :-(. I gotta say that when speed is capped out (+25) the DPS is insane as a master swordsman.

...If my maths is correct, 75 + 25 = 100 right? well, 100 is the cap for speed. you can use ANYTHING, ANY Weapon as well as ANY special, and you can use it or anything else just one second after that, thus giving you indeed an insane DPS (possibly higher than TKA's depens on what wep ya use tho)

That is more or less correct...I am sure there are some 2h weapons that may be slower then 1 second if their speed was really really slow (like 8.0 or 11.0), but a decent quality hammer\curved sword is any special per second once speed is capped out with tapes and your a master swordsman (sooner if you are master brawler). As long as I have the HAM to support it...spamming headhit3 or area attack3 with my 31% damage sliced hammer produces some pretty effective hits (with powerup the max dmg is 710). This setup, while extremely expesive to get, has worked out very well for me in the end and I amhaving a "blast" as aswordsman.

I have alot of Two handed weapon dmg skill tapes, how many should i put in my armor and clothing? Also how well do these skill tapes and attachments work? will i notice a difference? Such as speed, damg, accuracy wise. I also have defense vs knockdown and dizzy tapes, attachments that say 1 warcy,intimidate and such. what difference will i see with those? I dont want to shove them all into an armor and then they dont work, when i could sell them for a fairly high price and get rich.

I have not done a comparrison...so I really don't know...i suppose I could do some tests with regards to 2h damage, but i do know for a fact that speed and accuracy do make a difference. The +1's and +2's really don't make a huge difference, but once you start combining some of the high lvl ones, such as +8's..there is a difference. Same for warcry tapes...I have +16 to warcry (without bio-enhanced clothes) and my warcry2 sticks 4 our of 5 times it seems.

The huge drawback to tapes though is that they wont last forever. Because you have to put them in armor and clothes...those things decay...which means eventually you will lose that piece of armoror clothes and thus lose the tape. It is possible to make some items...such as mabari (sp?) belts that will never decay, which is what i use and it has 4 slots...so i put my most powerful tapes in that.

Crap i have never seem any +8 tapes or anything, i guess if i added all the same attachments up the highest would probly be + 3 or something. I just dont wanna get my hopes up like defense vs dizzy then when i fight i get * you are so dizzy you fall down*

The higher end tapes drop off nightsisters, NPC jedi, and of course the caves on Rori)....which is heavily camped by AFK macro 3rd party looters (some other places as well...those are just some of the most common. Most people (like myself) buy the tapes that the afk macro looters get (those are the ones that actually have vendors who specialize in skill tape sales). There are some vendors on Intrepid with 300-400 skill tapes on them.

you wouldnt happen to know where some sell those type of skill tapes on Bria would you

Once clothing decays, do tapes stop working?? Ive got a +4 2hand damage belt that ive been using forever, and its LONG since been decayed... yet the stat bonuses still show up on my character sheet.

Is the character sheet lying to me? Same happens with decayed armour. (ive got a pair of ubese gloves that i wont get rid of cuz they have +8 speed on em.)

I hope ive not been sporting usless clothing and armour for the last few months... but hey thats just my luck so i wont be suprised.

The clothing still working whlie its condition is 0\1000 is a bug I believe (if it truely does). The same is true for armor that has a condition of 1/1. Although I'd wonder what use it would be wearing a piece of armor that has a condition of 1/1.....I have not tested...but I would doubt it would give you any protection at that point (i could be wrong...but it would not make any sense in that case). Clothing and armor that has a 1 or 0 condition should not be usable...even though it currently is "wearable". That is why I say that some day it will decay and not be usable....assuming that the DEVs fix this bug and these clothing\armor items no longer become usable.

Question, which rori caves were you speaking of?

Thanks

I believe it is called the Borgle Caves or something like that...itsa POI. There are some piles of dirt and\or containers at the bottom of the cave that have been giving exceptional skill tapes for quite some time. Problem is that there are people who camp the loot spots heavily while AFK and use 3rd party programs to loot the piles the second they respawn.
