Part 4. - The Grind from Novice Swordsman to Master Swordsman
Now its time to level up the trees of the swordsman profession to reach your goal - MASTER SWORDSMAN...U will need the same things while leveling the 2h brawler tree.
Good things while grinding:
- Armor with +70% Kinetic Protection - Doc-Buffs - Brandy - Citrus Snowcake(Food increases Accuracy by +40) - Synthisteaks - Stims "b"(any melee should have at least novice medic) - Speed-Sliced-Weapons - Melee-PowerUps for better Weapons-Speed - Gether some AP-Points. U need 620 AP-Points to get the Master! If u can´t find anybody to teach ask a friend if he´s willing to exchange ap-points with u. U both will need 10k combat xp and novice-marksman(one of u 0001 to start the teaching-session)...just teach/drop it 31 times and u both obtain the needed 620 ap-points...last time i did it toke us 20mins...we where lazy there...:-)
I did most of the grind on dantooine and done piket, bol and huurton stalker missions. If u have 300k combat xp left from an other combat-prof its a good time to bump it into xxx3. This gives u some more accuracy and 2 bleed-attacks(mind). Since the bleeds where nerfed hardly they are only useful while fighting high-end-mobs like krayts or nightsister elders. forget about them while u level up the trees. its waste of time. IMO the best way to grind thru the profession is xx1x. Than doing x41x and after this x44x...Last tree should be 444x...Get boxes of the last tree as soon as u have enough combat-xp....
* Intermediate Sword Defense: U need 175k to obtain this skill-box. Along with some skillmod-boni u get a new special attack - 2h spin attack2. IMO its the best area attack for swordsman! It has an damage-multi of 3 and a delay-mod of 2,3. U should stick with this special for the most part of leveling...Just target the lair and spam spin attack2 until all is finshed...
Facts: 5 Skillpoints ; 2h SpinAttack2 Skillmods: +10 CoB efficacy, +2 CoB, +1 Melee Migration, +15 CounterAttack Total by now: +35 Toughness, +65 Accuracy, +35 Speed, +20 CoB, +75 CoB efficacy, +5 Melee Defense, +1 Melee Migration, +30 CounterAttack
* Intermediate Sword Techniques: This skill will cost u 175k xp and u only get a new special attack. But this special is very nice! Its 2h HeadHit2...It has and damage-multi of 2,5 but only a delay-mod of 2,3...as the name says its a mindpool-attack...
Facts: 5 Skillpoints ; 2h HeadHit2 Skillmods: ./. Total by now: +35 Toughness, +65 Accuracy, +35 Speed, +20 CoB, +75 CoB efficacy, +5 Melee Defense, +1 Melee Migration, +30 CounterAttack
* Advanced Sword Techniques: U have to level 250k XP to get this skill-box. All u get from this is a speed-boost but being a swordsman its all about speed...
