So i just got a really nice 2h curved sword, 40-230dmg 2.5speed unsliced, but i noticed the ham on it and it uses a crapload of action, what is up with this? it is suppost to be this way?, or is it that the spin attack just uses alot of action? because i ran into the middle of a buncha scavenger rats (on correlia) 5 of them to be exact, i pressed the spin attack button a couple of times, i spinned about 3 times, killed all of them, they only hit me 2 times for health, but my 800 action bar was more than half way down, and BTW im a rodian with 800 stamina, and alot of quickness too.

Yes the 'Katana' eats up a load of action, but it dosen't take alot from Health and Mind pool. In PvP I consider this great since 85% of the marksman class are either Pistol or Rifle user.

Yes it's action based so it uses that bar more, if you're coming from a 2 handed axe you might want to migrate your stats a bit to compensate. Even the first spin attack is definiately an expensve move using about as much or more than 2 hand hit 2.
