Swordsman Archive

I've been using mindhit1 and mindhit2 and just stacking it. Even when I'm ganged up against 4 or 5 creatures, I still use these two specials along with intimidate. I don't use area attack much because it tends to hit random pools.

Anyone else?

I like warcry2, lunge2, intimi2. if you are novice just switch the 2's to one. if you can stun and intmidate do that too. I usually go straight to head hits and forget bleeding, unless I think the fight will take a while. But I am going to be a swordsman without master brawler soon, so I may rely on bleeds more, just because I only have one chance every 30 seconds to stop my opponent in his tracks. I will also have to use warcry more, cuz it will no longer be 20 sec, I will take more hits inbetween warcries. But with the poison and disease I will be picking up, I hope that will take some of the time to incap off.

My usual opener is lunge 2, warcry 2, intimidate 2 - if it all works, mob is on its back for 20 seconds and wont hurt me much even if it gets up again. Time to place a bleed and move to the next mob in the crowd, or just finish it off with a few quick hits when its solo.

I like that one of PVE. But for PVP lunge 2 is too unreliable for me. I find warcry infront of it easier on the armor, and I burn and bleed less with it, lol.
