Surgical strike almost never success

Submitted by moyajushi on Tue, 2021-11-16 10:42.

Surgical strike adds an interfered debuff with skill failure as well as stunning. However, in most conditions the enemy just simply attacks and never triggers the second stage stunning, even though the failure rate exceeds 100%. So in most cases the skill can only produce extremely short stun, making itself a waste of investment

Problem with harrying blow

Submitted by moyajushi on Mon, 2021-11-15 13:47.

Harring blow is powerful, but the requirement is too complicated. It is necessary only for 1 to 1 battle with a tough enemy. However, 1 to 1 battle often has no enough room to perform spring attack. And tough enemies are offen hard to hit(either having high evasion or some class power to deflect weapon attacks),making the preparing stage extremely fragile.

Cool class

Submitted by Ciderdown on Thu, 2021-09-02 01:59.

Was going to suggest adding Duelist but saw it got removed in changelog, why not have duelist as an option for dual-wield build tho? I feel the class needs a little more in way of defense. Also, would be nice to make Lightspeed Draw a core mechanic of the class, by lowering the stamina increse per use to match Tumble (and have similar or lower scaling), or maybe have it use a charge system, and making it give a shield and/or defense on use (maybe stacking up to a point? or not...). I just feel like the class needs more defensive options, maybe a whole tree of them (or bring back duelist).
Either way the experience so far was fun, reminded me a lot of playing Sil which had skills that let you attack by moving too. Nice concept!

Also, some other things I noticed upon playing further:
- Lightspeed Draw can be used while asleep
- Swordsmanship doesnt seem to give the mastery bonuses for daggers at all

Great but just wondering

Submitted by Rukaneo on Wed, 2021-05-12 21:57.

Enjoying the class so far but just wondering for certain class trees. Since you will be focusing more on dexterity and strength wouldn't be better for requirements for them to scale of dexterity than strength so they are more readily available as in most cases you may have to ICTW prodigy (if you also extra physical power) I so you can acquire them. At least tie into the swordsmanship passive. Also to help make feel a bit more unique to class since you're focusing more on skill and technique than sheer brute force.

And Spring Attack cancelling movement infusions which can be can be annoying as only set amount of spring attack that can happen per turn.

For Lightspeed draw. It's a pretty underwhelming skill. Cause basically after around 3 or 4 uses (which take massive toll on your stamina ) for what amounts to range 9 and 120% weapon attack (granted it's instnat) but 40 turns of increased stamina usage which 40 of mere movement skill on cool down.. robably lower down amount cool down for your (your better off using mutiple evasions or rush is more reliable as lightspeed draw is under the same issue of can't use if there are no enemies) on raw talent cool down. If not probably atleast the increased stamina cost for turn is significantly lower per turn while resting so it you can probably do a hit run or simply that not trying rest with auto explore with it waiting for amount turns to use the rod of recall

Love

Love the class.

Lua Error

Submitted by Asada on Mon, 2021-01-11 09:50.

I sometimes get a Lua error. I suppose it occurs when I reflect a beam or ray with "Web of Steel"talent.

Thanks for the report! I'll

Thanks for the report! I'll take a look into it.

interesting

Submitted by wrana5 on Thu, 2020-08-06 20:16.

An interesting class, seems to work well. Strangely, 2h build seems to work better - partially due to needing less talents to up. Maybe there should be a build based on sswitching between 2h and double-blades as well? Didn't try mindstar variant, but think it is only useful if you go Antimagic?

Hi

Can Japanese or Chinese translation be added?

Swordmaster

Submitted by Recaiden on Sun, 2020-07-19 18:40.

This is a very fun and well-put-together class!
I especially like Spring Attack.

A couple notes:

Vapor Blade knocks enemies back even if the attack misses
Will To Live should have a cap, or better yet, be a flat (or based on player level) amount that's increased the lower your health is.
Lightspeed Draw needs a Fixed Cooldown. Otherwise, if you take Hidden Resources and have some way of lowering the cd, you can cast it forever, doing infinite damage instantly.
Spring Attack's stamina restore is kind of overkill given Tempo and Determination. Maybe it should only work if you're using a 2-hand weapon?

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback! I haven't been able to duplicate Vapor Blade knocking back even when it misses on my end yet, but I'll continue to look into it.
