Okay got a question for all you swordsman.
The things i know.
I know that things decay.
I know that using specials makes things decay more.
My question is....
When you all use your sword/hammer/scythe do you use a macro of specials? Or do you swing the thing with no specials?
I use a macro that does lunge then 2hhit3 over and over again. Am I doing something wrong?
I went through a scythe in no time flat
help a noob pls

what i do is just manually type head hit 3,i dont use a macro i dont know if it really matters its just my personal prefrence. my weapons decay very very slowly. so i'm not sure if its the macro or not.but try going without it and seeing if you notice a difference.

To me, whenever i use a scythe, it seemed to decay faster then a Power Hammer when using specials. My Power Hammers have outlasted my Scythes, but thats at least from what i noticed.

thehealer, it does make a difference. Try having a macro with /lunge2 and then /2hhit3 about 20 times. it makes a huge difference. I can do mokks/janta groups in like 2 min.

The only time i dont use specials is when i am in the kitchin making a coffee 
The decay is terrible on scythes, you should only use them for very special occasions,such as PvP or GDK hunting.
Buy a bucket full of hammers. Spam your specials.If you dont you are not hitting anything like the potential that swordsman offers.

Yea, not only do specials effect your Weapon decay rate - but the weapons themsleves have different decay rates. I never use macros - I dont need to - Nothing can damage me with my armour on - So, I stack some states and then stop using specials all-togher. Every once and a while hit a few buttons.
They key is to be able to take hits and heal
- In pvp its more then just defense though. Armour, and a doctor with State/pois/dis cures, is a 100% must since we dont have potions to heal this stuff. Even mind food is 100% needed and mind buffs. a high end Lightsaber or stun PSG isnt a bad idea. Not to mention Krayt or other high end Weaps. We can forget the attachments either. I'm sure you get the message.
- In PvE its all out defense - nothing can kill you if you have good armour. Little heals are needed here. Only a master class with medium gear and medium to high end armour. Weapons help a little if they are nice here.

I just spam headhit3 for 1 creature or spam spin on groups. As for weapon decay I don't notice any difference.

I've used the same 2handed curved sword since i was certified for it.. im 1221 swordsman now... thats been a long time, since i havent grinded anything.
nothing has ever decayed to 0 condition, even when i die so much
i just hit special hotkeys when i feel its necessary
