The developers need a imagination over-haul.


Whatis Heavy SwordsMan? 2 Handed Curved? i mean c'mon.


It should be Samurai or Bushido Artist(i like this one myself)and 2 hand Katana.


You swordsmans shouldn't have a power hammer it should be a Katana with a special name for example


1.Kiyomori Katana/Blade


2.Kikuchimoji Katana/Blade


3.Chirijiradan Katana/Blade


and so on...i don't care what people say,i am 110% sure they DO have samurai's and katana's in the world of starwars <3.

If you look at Real Life weapons the 2H Curved IS a Katana. A Katana is a light fast 2h curved sword.



They can leave in the Powerhammer but I'd like to see a Broadsword as a median. I cant ever decide between the 2 weaps bc 5.4 spd is TOO slow and my Curved sword doesnt seem to do great damage.



Broadsword


100-340 dmg


3.5 speed


30% Wound


20/60/20 HAM




*Something along those lines*

Just raise the damage of the cleaver a little and lower the delay a tiny bit, and I'd gladly use that over a power hammer, a Swordsman isn't a Hammer man.


Or hell, raise the damage on the cleaver by about 75 and giveit "Energy" damage or something and I'd be content.

Kinda insensitive of you to assume that every other Swordsman wants this. I'm happy with Hammers, Axes AND Swords.

I love my hammer. I'd be devastated if they took it away.

Heavy Swords like a 6ft Katana(2h Curved)? Or a 6ft BroadSword(Cleaver)? Maybe you want a 6ft Double-Axe(2h Axe)? Perhaps a 6ft Maul would be better for you(PH).


We have heavy swords. Fencers have SWORDS.

NO


This isn't Everquest, Camelot or Asheron's Call. I don't want to be swinging around 16th century Earth style weapons. Leave them to the AD&D sword and sorcery type MMORPGs.


I want to wield powerhammers, vibro weapons, fusion cutters and laser welders. This gameworld is about blasters and starships. Please leave the +2 longswords to all those other games.

I agree with Drakronis. This isn't medieval at all, but I do agree that we need huge katanas with mean looks to them. This may sound lame and Final Fantasy Fanboyish, but a huge sword that looks like the Ragnarok from FFVII would make me a very happy customer. I know that we are based in a "blaster and spaceship world," but I'm sure that somewhere out there, they have a group of people that could resemble samuri's somehow weilding these huge swords. The power hammer, yes we need to keep it, not change it. It's independant and does blast damage which very few other professions have. What we need, as well as all other melee professions, is an extended arsenal of weapons to help us in battle. Also, the cleaver has the same damage as a 2 handed curved sword, but its slower. What is up with that? Why not improve the damage at least. I would have no problem with a huge sword if the speed was even at 4 as long as it packed a serious punch. Thats my 2 cents anyways.

Sorry, but "Bushidou Artist" makes no sense as bushidou is a certain moral code; it's like saying "stoicism artist". "Chirijiradan" is a nonsense word, so I assumed that you meant "chirijiraden". Amazingly, a Google search for the termassailedme witha bevy of web pages about "Final Fantasy". The term "chirijiraden" does actually existin Japanese, mostly famously in the case of a certain portable shrine that is a national treasure (you can see it in the first picture on this page: http://www.asahi.co.jp/rekishi/04-08-26/01.htm). However, it is nonsensical to apply it to swords, as "chirijiraden" refers to a technique of lacquering applying gold or silver.


I hear there's a MMORPG version of Final Fantasy, so you might want to check it out.


Japanese animation is bad for you.

I like my Power Hammer, thank you very much.


And I would be a happy man if they trippled the amount ofmelee weapons that Swordsman got. And Pikeman, and fencers. Not sure what they couldadd to the UNarmed tree.


And before you get off on a spiel on how melee weapons don't fit into the SW's universe, rewatch the movies, how many people do youseethat have 3 personal ATST'sas bodyguards, and for that matter, how can I carry a house in my pocket, or 10 houses. I can't, it's not real, none of it. It's based on some movies that was based on a book. None of it ever happened. So we can make up anything we want. And I want more melee weapons. And where's my scythe?

I am still waiting for the Scythe, Can you please release it/tell us where to find it?

yes... there is Final Fantasy XI, but even I, a Final Fantasy Freak does not like it lol. It makes no resemblance whatsoever to the original games. SquareEnix made a big mistake.
