swordsman advantages:

- mind bleeds

-powerful targeted pool damage

-blast and kinetic damage types

-medium armor pierce on virtually all weapons

-big damage

TKA advantages:

-very fast

-self buff (power boost)

-force of will

-solid damage

-meditate bleeds, poison, disease and wounds away

-can target any pool for moderate damage

-has knockdown and dizzy in a single move

So overall 2 handed would be better if you expect to fight a lot of heavily armored opponents where as TKA is more of a utility class since it is relegated to kinetic damage and ap1. So it comes down to who you plan on fighting most of the time, although, I hear that TKA at higher levels can take out heavily armored opponents moderately well.

Take both get the best of both worlds KD/Dizzy the mind hits with ur hammer/Scythe YAY

/cheer takes 6 rebs to drop me in coronet LMAO took them 15 mins to make my ham move it was awsome then i busted out my scythe and a couple ran away LOL its great , ( Sorry just had to say that)

swordsman

If you want to hunt in caves, swordsman is the way to go. I've played all the melee professions except Pikeman and Swordsman is hands down the best PvE melee profession. Area3 is just an insane move.

PvP is a TOTALLY different animal and with the bleed nerf swordsman absolutely suck. TKA is the best IMO of all melee profession for PvP.

So.... its up to what you want to be better at more.

I must say that playing both swordsman and TKA, I definately have to aggree that TKA is where it is at in PvP and PvE. Yes, I don't have the insane ability of Area Attack 3 that the swordsman has, but knocking down a creature and killing it before it gets back up as an appeal to it. If I'm buffed, I shrug the other hits from his buddies while I finish them off one at a time.

Swordsman is fun, but they suffer with melee defense ability and take a lot more hits. Because of their slow attacks in combination with the lower melee defense, I found myself buying the 80% melee armor to stay alive, but then started suffering from incumbrance. Trade off was that I could last a long time also, as my armor now shrugged off the hits. With buffs, I could spam specials until creatures were sliced and diced, dying at my feet.

All in all... there is a trade-off to each profession. I suggest you go Master Brawler, then Novice in each. The one you find yourself playing more often is probably the one you should go with.

for pvp and pve id go tka force of will, powerboost, the insane damage it can put out in 10 seconds(warcry kd) makes it worth it.

TKA is great if you are only taking on a single opponent or a small group of MOB's

If you happen to be on Yavin IV by yourself with no maskscent ability you'll find yourself wishing very very quickly that you were either a swordsman or pikeman instead of a TKA

TKM is great for PVP its ok in pve sword rules in pve ok in PVP hopefuly that will cahnge with the new sword waiting to get mine made woohoo the tkm medatate line is the best line of all professions im both with a small bit of fencer so go for both you are pretty much covered then
