Here's the raw swordsman build I use to farm Nahpui Star Blades, Star Lights and Star Sentinels for Celestial weapons. If you have time after clearing them out you can take out the Celestials too, but I usually just start over at that point.

Tactics 13
Swordsmanship whatever
Strength whatever

My weapons are a Sundering 15% -5 energy sword with 5 Armor and I use an Exalted Shield.
I use Sentinals armor, this build is more adrenaline based than energy based.

Skills:
Auspiscious Parry (e)
Riposte
Sever Artery
Final Thrust or Galraths
Wild Blow
"Shields Up!"
Dolyaks
Healing Sig

I try to pull everything with a bow if I can so Auspiscious Parry is ready when the fight starts. Always focus on Star Lights first, then Sentinals and use Auspiscious Parry every time it's available. If there is more than one Star Blade you will likely need to Pop Dolyaks. If there is more than one Sentinal use "Shields Up!"

Star lights just sever and beat to death, and try to keep a sever on anyone else close by. Remember that Auspiscious Parry blocks anything that is thrown at you so try to time it for hits from the guys scarier than Star Lights.

If there is a Star Blade or Two in the group just Parry/Riposte them to death. If your health starts to get low hit Dolyaks and Auspiscious Parry, then Healing Sig. Parry/Riposte while healing sig is casting if it comes up.

The Star Sentinals are the damage dealers you have to pay attention to, once they hit Escape, throw up Auspiscious Parry and then Wild Blow them out of it, you will get any lost adrenaline back fast. Get a wall between them and Star Blades to take out the swordsman first if you need to.

4 on one fights take good timing, but are perfectly managable, just avoid pulling 4 of the same type at once.

I usually get 4-5 Purples and 1-3 golds per run if I'm not carrying any keys, and a boatload of money from Feathers, Bones and blues.
