Give a bonus damage to a player if:+1
He has at the very least 75 wpf in 1h, no wpf in 2h or polearm or both, no shield skill, possibly no riding too.
This would also buff the archer melee capacities a bit, with a bit of dedication, so they could still pew pew and fight okay-ish in melee.
This would also buff me a bit, so do it.
And the speed argument is useless considering I can't make use of it for shit.
Fixed.
I like how the only reason to go swashbuckler is because you are awesome.I did this and I agree.
I did this and I agree.Thats where the awesomeness factor comes in.
And, yeah, 1H-only IS underpowered. Just compare the pure stats of a knightly arming and a longsword. Everything else would be pretty strange, though. So, leave it as is.
When I think "swashbuckler" I just see LeoKing run around like a fucker and you want to buff him even more?Leoking isn't a swashbuckler, he's a buckler-using my old friend, remove shield ghost-reach and Leo has gotten appropriately nerfed.

Leoking isn't a swashbuckler, he's a buckler-using my old friend, remove shield ghost-reach and Leo has gotten appropriately nerfed.
"Swashbuckler (a.k.a. swasher) is a term that emerged in the 16th century[1] and has been used for rough, noisy and boastful swordsmen ever since. A possible explanation for this term is that it derives from a fighting style using a side-sword with a buckler in the off-hand, which was applied with much "swashing and making a noise on the buckler".[2] Later the name "swashbuckler" (like Gunslinger) became common for an archetype and the accordant special film genre.[3]In Italy the genre was known as Cappa e spada."Noob, Leoking never boasts, and he isn't noisy in his gay ass armor.
Courtesy of Wikipedia. So he is a swashbuckler, while you no shield my old friends are just archerbait. Buff ranged.
I put that there because I was thinking about giving a Power Strike bonus, and that it could affect 2 handers who could just put x 1h WPF and use their 2h weapon with all the benefits.
Meh, lack of proper sleep, now I realise the bonus could just appear when there's a 1h out.
How about different animations? The current ones make sense when they are used with a shield. However, a swashbuckler would surely use different positioning:
My suggestion is
-More reach for left swing (a different animation)
and
- Better speed for right swing (a different animation)
Other then that, keep their stats same.
I am thinking of going swashbuckler, sorry about my previous post, that was very ignorant of me.I'm glad I have shown you the light.
Easily the most classy class. 8-)
Specific no-shield 1h animations would be kickass!I would like to see fencing style animations. And a hat with a feather. I love the current animations though, they are all awesome and all have their specific use and are about equally useful, unlike the other classes.
I'm glad I have shown you the light.
To be fair, the prophet is not you but Bob. Messiah of Swashbuckler, I bestow upon you my esteem and respect!But...but... I am his EU apprentice. Apart from that I am not going to play is 1st person. The dude is mad!
But the beauty of being a swashbuckler is that you're at a disadvantage!
