Well Baldric, frenzy is less powerful now, and the enchant changes were not friendly to them for dagger enchants either.

Some brainstorm ideas for swashies would be:

*Skill to enhance pve survivability
*disguise
* rallying cry
* plant
* persuade
* skill that allows them to "locate" if a person is in a city (call it urban tracking or something)

The other warrior classes get stuff like this (see retreat, track). Why not swashies?

Rogues got nerfed again with these enchant changes as far as I can tell.

None of those are things that I'm looking at right now when I'm thinking "how can I make swashbucklers more interesting" considering that they've almost entirely been primarily about their ability to fight. It's just sad that swashbucklers are supposed to probably be the outright best at fighting and just so happen to suck so much at it.

Ah I forgot about these. Maybe because people were complaining about rogues long before these recent changes.

Since the enchant changes has anyone that plays a swashie tried adding more accuracy to their weapons. If so, is parry/eparry any better?

I am not sure the accuracy of your weapon matters in regards to massive weapons, which is currently the thing making swashbucklers unplayable. (It's bad enough they tend to lose fights against mercs/barbs with weapons like epees/rapiers.) I have no idea to the mechanics, but something tells me that massive weapons have a check regarding whether you even get a chance to parry/block it, which is independent of anything you can do to raise your success to do so.

I don't know, that is why I am asking. I know that accuracy helps parry/eparry, didn't know if has truly helped anyone though.

I have noticed a difference with accuracy buffs in regards to parry.
