Re: Opinion on Swordmasters
In terms of being tanky or defensive SMs are quite overwhelming, but as mentioned above their lack of any good CC makes them undesirable in some teamcomps. its fun to play though and is quite decent in smaller scales

Swordmasters + big sword = fun

They sure put up a fight.

Anything regarding 1.4.9 is pointless since it was never implemented. It doesn't matter if 1.4.9 gave them an AoE attack that dealt 50k damage and leveled mountains.Kaitanaroyr wrote:Sm was far from the worst tank a good dps sm can kill just about anything tank wise they are a 2 handed tank shields really only remove the best defense they have wall of darting steel.they brought great support not as much as a knight but knights a knight cd reduction made wl spirit spam nuts the main down fall was that the knock back was never fixed and only does a short punt which was useless. from what i saw on the test server the changes there made the sm one of the best tanks thanks to group wounds buff 120 wounds steal which gave 1200 hp with full points in tree and rr 100 as well as friendly pounce with 60% dmg reduction on land to friendly target.Spoiler:
So... 1.4.8 SMs? Yup, they were the worst tanks.
Re: Opinion on Swordmasters
I dont know. I leveled SM up to 10 with full Gale equipment, Bandit queen helmet, cloack and decimator set. I use mainly SnB, but even with absorb enchantement, still get melted by single WE and do a crap dmg. I dont know if its lags because of distance from server( I am EU player), but need to press button 3-4x to make them actualy work. Also had taunt issue, which I must actualy cast twice to make it work.Against lvl 10-14 npcs SnB swordmaster is awesome and supertanky, but in PvP it seems, that even my SnB IB can perform much better.

Re: Opinion on Swordmasters
Even in tor anroc any ib with the "Powered Etchings" tactic is better (only front ae knockback = no enemies behind him get unnecessarily cc immunity + snare component on the knockback). Also he has a medium range single kb as base skill.
The SM needs really an overhaul in the future.

Re: Opinion on Swordmasters
BOs (not so sure about SMs) were indeed amazing for PvE. But this is primarily a RvR game and, as i (and many others) have already pointed out, SMs were indeed the worst tanks. I'm not saying they are not fun, i'm just saying the truth.Kaitanaroyr wrote:Well seeing as my sm outlasts most tanks in pve or pvp they aren't the worst the fact that the sm was rushed and never finished makes them weaker in controlling the fight. lol just remembered the noob sms in t4 spamming their aoe knock back..... only time sm takes best tank is in tor anrocSpoiler:
I don't doubt you could have been an excellent SM and maybe better than many KotBS or IBs. But in this case, you would have been MUCH more useful/efficient if you had played one of those other two classes.
