Energy Swordsman Build

[BlazingBarrager]

One of the things I love about the Swordsman class is that they also have the option to go full Energy, and while they were harder to use than the standard physical base variants it was still fun to play. Here's to hoping that they get a buff when DBOR comes out, because if they have the option to go full energy then they should have the support to go with it.

Anyway, here's a build.

I agree with your build, but why is energy recovery 4/6? You can save 3SP right there and just stay outside the battle zone and charge your RP (considering this is a PvE build). Also, KoK? SM aren't really gifted in natural EP, so 1/3 is going to hurt you a bit. If you KoK either do 0/3 or 3/3. Here is a build to suit our ideas

Hmm...good point. I figured Energy Recovery was mandatory for SM. Shows how much I know. lol

Edit: changed.

Energy Swordsman attack is just too low. If only they buffed Con. Kamehameha, Fortitude, Foc. Gravity Break, and put back the Increased 1.5x from behind on stronger energy barrage, they could be considered  like a new class.

If you complained about the CON then why add a move that costs LP and will draw aggro?

No not CON sillyyyyyyy. Concentrated kamehamehaaaaaaaaaaaaa is what I meant. (;

Ohh. I understand. Yeah, that skill is only good for KD. Other than that, our opinions differ on Final Effort.

[BlazingBarrager]

Yeah I'm not exactly fond of Final Effort myself. Takes too long to execute, eats up a shit ton of HP, and makes you a sitting duck for even more damage.

When I used it, I only did it with KD and wore con armor and it worked fine. (But we can all aggree that energy skills need to be buffed on MA and SM right? O:)

swordman full energy? i never saw that stupid build. Sword are PHYSICAL class.Why do you have to ruin a great class as the sword putting all skill energetic?

So true

I played this game for fun, not to be the "best". And how are we ruining a great class with a build? The player makes the class, not the build.

[BlazingBarrager]

Exactly. If I want to make an Energy SM and they have the options to make it happen, then I'm going to make it. I don't need someone telling me what I should make.

Well, it's not stupid, someone wants to be different. If Energy attacks are offered for SM that means they could have some use. Just because nobody uses it doesn't mean it's bad. Nobody uses it because usually when people see MA gear that has to do with energy, they throw it away. Energy SM CAN be good, if geared properly.

I see a LOT wrong with it. I won't waste my time explaining just in case of troll

if you want to make a character who do serious damage, etc., let's say you have to follow some rules, make an energy sword would be like to do a physical turtle obviously I can not even figure out why all the classes that have both physical attacks and energy.It is necessary to distinguish which classes have physical attacks and which classes have energy attacks.

I bet that 99% of the players who had a sword has never dared to make use of energy attacks if you do not see in himself the skill.

here is not about what effects to use for the armor, here he's talking about a sword A PHYSICAL CLASS,if you want a character full energy such as a turtle or choose various namek.I challenge you to create, once released dbor, to make a small sword full energy.

and i can add that : energy skill attack for example of the sword in the pvp and also for pve dont do much damage

[Iceman]

That build is even worse than the energy SM build, and that's beside the point. This is MY character that I'm setting up so I'll make it MY way.

Sure Blazing, and if you wana soo much energy, make turtle.
Why to pick physical type class and use most of energy attacks.

[BlazingBarrager]

Two reasons.
1. I'm already making a Turtle.
2. I want to do something different with SM. I've tried both physical and energy SM and in my experience I found Energy SM to be more fun.

Because. They aren't naturally gifted in EP that doesn't mean they can't be USEFUL. They can. Blazing doesn't wanna make an energy SM because he wants a strong energy character. He just wants a SM that's different than all of the SM in the game. And maybe make a name for himself doing something different. You ever remove buffs and gear and just use yourself for combat? Notice how WEAK those attacks are?? Well, put good ENG gear on SM, and the "prepare to roar" buff on him, then you've got someone who can deal energy damage. Simple as that

..cough cough.. gear. Just like I said in the other post. Take off all your gear and buffs. Do a physical attack and then an energy attack. They are both weak. Physical AND Energy. Just wait and see. Put your shades on, because Blazing is about to shine.
And what was the point of your build? PvE physical swordie?
