So I currently have a level 31 SM and a level 12 Black Orc. From looking at both of them, they are pretty similar mirrors so I'm sceptical about dedicating time to both of them.
I prefer the Blorc aesthetic, but I went with SM in the end because the idea of dealing only spirit damage seemed cool and Wall of Darting Steel looked like it would be an awesome ability, running round like a jedi n ****. At the moment I'm more drawn to Blorc because of the aesthetic, but I'm wondering if there is any point when I already have a SM nearing T3? I would also probably be playing both of them with the more damage oriented tree's as a love 2 handed weps.
Is there any point rolling a Black Orc if I have a Swordmaster already?

you're always going to want to play the character you think is coolest so you may as well do it now. BORC is a fine tank if played well.

You get to kick people in the nuts. What more reason is there.
Really its the choice between a cd increaser or spirit damage. Though SM get Winds in Hoeth instead of a corp debuff which is more useful if you dont want to spec full dps sometimes.

Go with whichever class you like better. Borc is great at melee train assist.
He can debuff armor which is useful for almost all non-magic classes whereas SM only debuff spirit which is only useful for himself and maybe the odd DPS AM
Talent wise, Blorc have better synergy because you aren't limited to must use 2H for ether dance so you can deal respectable dmg while using shield... let's not forget Borc is the only tank with +crit dmg modifier
Borc's silence is core while SM is a 13 pt talent point and you can spec stun + T'ree hit combo... which means you have more options than SM... you can silence a magic user and dps or you can stun burst dmg class like WH and shut down/interrupt their burst while SM can technically spec WW and CW but then they won't have ED

Also aoe snare... Borc is just better for group utility (AP buff which SM doesn't have)

No one here talking about You Sez Me Blok Dat? is really odd considering its almost as strong as destined for victory
Also no one here mentioning that SM along with every other HE class is cursed with having the fugliest armor sets and apperances in the game

Go with the Black Orc. They are easier to kill.

Did you ever get a look on a White lion or a shadow Warrior? They look awsome.TenTonHammer wrote:No one here talking about You Sez Me Blok Dat? is really odd considering its almost as strong as destined for victory

Lol no WL has it the worst out of all
50 shades of generic lion pelt on the shoulder and a dress
Even sov wl is nothing special looking in comparison to the sov of all other classes
