master swordman's deadly swing
   

There is a big difference between a fighter swordman and a master swordman, even the margin is only 1%(fighter 59% vs master 60%). I am talking about one-handed combat and the reason is a master swordman put his body on his swing so that his blow is deadly.

Well, at least that's how I see it.

How much difference? Can you use cheat to look at a monster's hit points and tell us the difference?

If you train up to 100% you can take on anything armed with a wooden spoon.

The game concept is there in both G1 and G2. And my experience playing tell me that the first swing of a master swordman is a lot more solid and accurate than that of a fighter. And the first swing is the most important swing in any fight.

But I can't give you any proof from cheat.

@kingsorel,

[/quote]And the first swing is the most important swing in any fight.
quote:


I agree with your point of first strike, better still why not let every stoke of the sword be like the first strike, just quickly take your finger off the left control and then quickly press again with forward or left, and repeat this continuously,
there is no faster way of killing a swarm of opponents.

And of course the master-combo is way better than the fighter-combo, it's faster and it's easier to hit, also the left-right combo is faster when you're a master.

Of course, this is also the case with two-handers.

Right now I'm playing as a mage in Chapter 4. He's got Fighter skill with one-handers and I'm using the self-forged sword I've had since Chapter 1. Works for me, I'll just use magic most of the time.

The one-hander fighting status is fine, I'm playing a mage at the moment too and also have just fighter skill. But the two-hander fighting style really sucks, I also become master when I'm using two-handers, otherwise it's just too slow.

It's only a game so do whatever you like most. It's different between what will finish the game efficiently and what you enjoying playing . Each major role has a multitude of variations and the choice is yours.
