Swordsman Archive

Hey guys,

I'm a Master Swordsman now, and almost a master brawler as well, with 2 lines from the Doc tree to compliment.

What I'm wondering is would I'd be better off with some TKA skills instead of Master Brawler.

My situation is that in order to Master brawler with Master Swordsman, I have to drop my rezzing ability in Doc (I ain't giving up my Enhance D buffs - I'm like a junky needin' a fix). However, if I go TKA instead, I can almost master 2 lines - the Defense line (combat exp) and either 3 boxes in meditate or Their combat equilibrium line (one box below KD/Dizzy - which I could pick up instead of the added defense).

What do you guys think? Or is Warcry/Intimidate 2 better than the TKA skills?

Thoughts? Suggestions? Ideas?

Thanks!

These forums are awesome, cause this is the exact same question I've got. Although I'm coming at it from the other side. I'm working on master TK, but am starting to think I want to pick up some swordsman or maybe master swordsman and keep just what I need of TK. The bummer with TK is not being able to do any damage to anything with medium or heavy armor. So how good are swordsman against armor?

Any thoughts on best blend of the two? Best overall melee blend, for me, my biggest interest is PvE, but some good PvP stomping is always an added bonus :-)

Dog - confused TK

pick up fencer over teras kasi of you want defense.<3

Is getting hit better than not getting hit at all for 20/10 = 30 seconds ?i think not .

Wait - do Warcry 2 and Warcry 1 stack?!?!

And the reason I'm thinking TKA over Fencer is because I'll be left with 13 skill pts, and I can get more out of those 13 skill pts in TKA than in Fencer line (also TKA defense line is all combat exp which I have a boat load of).

Thanks again for the thoughts - keep 'em coming =)

as a TKM/new swordsman (and master brawler), I'd heavily suggest:
master brawler first (between lunge2 and warcry2, you can keep stuff down for a LONG time...and the brawler correspondent says TKM is overpowered...pffft!)

if you still want more:
meditation IV for powerboost, wound/poison/disease/bleed healing, and force of will
power&balance 1 for quick dizzy/KD combo (when you can get it to stick)

Lastly, I'd like to say OMG! I actuall had over 4k worth of mind bleeds going on a picket last night with 0/0/0/3 swordsman...that's just fricking evil! Had a seperate, single hit, for over 3500 with a hammer.
