Thread: Fighting the good fight. Stand tall, Swordsmen.
It is the way of things. The vast majority of people, as human nature is wont to, will go the quick and easy route, the path of least resistance. It is the way of things, that the greater portion of the population will find a way to do the most minimal amount of work for the maximum rewards. Then there are those who work, long and hard, and endure great pains for the most minimalistic rewards, save the reward of accomplishment, and surviving a virtual babtism through fire.
EarlierI fought with myself, unsure of which route to take, unsure if laying down my beloved sword and joining the masses with their blasters and their rifles, was the only option I had left. Thinking that the path I followed was already hard enough without being made harder, as it just has been. I thought, long and hard on this, and I have come to this one conclusion:
We are the lucky few.
We few, we Swordsmen, we Teras Kasi, we Fencers and Pikemen. We, the Monks and Warriors, the Blademasters and Duelists. We who put in the most work for the least rewards, we who endure the insults of those who take that easy road and smirk to ourselves, knowing the stuff we are made of is a stener stuff. We are the proud few who have dared to be different, to keep our chins up, to endure the blows, and stand up where others would lie down.
To those of you who have not left this honorable class, to those of you who endure still, take heart. I know not if the horizon holds a silver lining, but I do know that whatever it holds, we can meet and overcome.
....We are the proud few who... ....stand up where others would lie down.
except for when hit by ranged knockdowns and ranged posture changes and the defense vs. knockdown and defense vs. posture change bonuses do nothing.
blah sorry for being a downer. im swordsman all the way!
Thank you 
...**edit**...i still want that meditation animation for our class as well.... 
Me too! lol, I seriously considered being a TKA just because of that meditate pose.
Nahhhhhhh, let the TKA's keep that pose, let it be unique to them. Maybe give us a pose that's just as good, somthing that involves a certian way of kneeling holding the sword, stickin it in the ground maybe??
And That was an excellent speech by the way!!!!! it seriously made me feel even prouder to be a swordsman!!!!it's nice to see soem others feel the same way.
Uphill and against the wind, that is our path!!
Forever swordsman,

I'm staying swordsman. We can only get better at this point
I've already got my uber min-max template set out. Master Swordsman/Master Brawler/Master Rifle/RIfle Support 2/Novice Fencer/Novice Pikeman
I can only hope that we get a weapon that compares to a Vibro Long-Axe. Saw one with a beastly 97-330dmg and 4.1 speed. I think our power hammers should look more like this.
