Suggestion [Profession] Smiths & Diamond Swords

[Nalestom]

I agree that all of them should have a combat bonus if any of them do, but that isn't true at all about smiths, what does sword art have anything to do with metal craft? There are exceptions as many smiths were retired fighters though.

During times of war, any fighter who was able to competently repair, sharpen, or smith a blade was named a blacksmith. Unlike today, where private industries are able to mass-produce weapons, ammunition, and gear, they had to individually smith, sharpen, and maintain every single sword, dagger, arrowhead, and piece of armor. Naturally, considering most armies consisted of thousands upon thousands of soldiers, there was a shortage of blacksmiths. Therefore, in order to meet the demands of the army, fighters with the slightest amount of blacksmithing knowledge were placed at the forge.

I understand that, but that doesn't mean they were skilled fighters.

Sorry I'm off topic

I still find it absurd why diamond swords are still being used by classes that normally CAN'T use them. c12 can defend this all he wants, but he knows that the majority of the TC go smith SOLELY for the use of diamond swords when they normally couldn't. I wish @Kainzo would realize this.

Smiths have the ability to use diamonds to repair diamond stuff.

There's no real way around this. Thoughts, @Sleaker ?

There is no way to make the sword pop out of the hotbar if they swing the sword? Like how armor pops off when you take dmg? o;

But he is OP. You know how many orcs he killed? I don't see why Gandalf should effect how classes are balanced.
