Hiyas,

One conclusion Ican drawfrom being master swords is that it is an excellent skill for running PvM missions. No one does as much damage in my group as I do with a power hammer. 10,000 point hits, although rare, do occur and most hits are in the 3k-5k range. The defensive aspect of it is also nice.

Regarding PvP, Swords doesn't do a heckuva lot. The bleed shot is nice, but other than that there isn't a whole lotta good things that come from the skill. Even with my def against KD, I still get KD regularly and we have no real KD attack of our own...or anything that is worthwhile. I found that wearing hi-end armor helps a lot in the damage deparetment, but I am still a lil' dismayed at the general weakness of the skill in PvP. If anyone has any tips for PvP and swords, send me a message. Maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks,

Junga

I'm a doctor/heavy swordsman, and I've been finding lately, with some decent buffs and HH3 you can be deadly in PvP as long as you can get in range. I'm 5 and 0 in CGW PvP situations (one on one, I was killed during an attack on our base, but the lag was sick, I couldn't even tell who got me) since I attained HH3.
Is sweep 2 supposed to do any damage? It's so stupid, why would I use Sweep 2 if I can use Area Attack 2 and at least do some damage?

Another thing I've noticed is that CounterAttacks do very little damage and often waste a special move you have lined up, has anyone else noticed this?

we need more posture and effect defense

and more melee defense

especially at master.

a little more varity in moves would be nice too.

i'm dissapointed in it .. but i will never drop swordsman just becasue i spent so much time mastering it

Counter attack is great! When you look at the battle log and it says " Geminus is hit with the flame from H-E double hocky sticks, but shrugs it off and counter attacks!!" you will never talk bad about it again. Keep that COB on, the intmi runnin, your warcry voice fresh, and your wits about you and you can rock a freakin' party!!

I've been a swordsman since about the 3rd week of the game and I have to say i've always been able to do very well in pvp. With the adv power hammers weapons smiths are constructing these days i've been able to get one or 2 hit kills using 2hand head hit 3 pretty consistantly. The only profession that really gives me any trouble now in duel is TKM because there faster and dizzy knockdown is a powerful move.

more melee and ranged defenses would be nice
