Duh......Fencer. Stun batons go through most armor. Their defenses area really nice. If you want to drop pistoleer and medic you could do my new l33t template.

Swordsman is great for blowing up stuff like large turrets. Just spam two hand hit 3 and run behind a wall when you get low on health. I solo'd two of Oasis cities'large block turrets this way.

Well I'm using swordsman to complement my carbine skills and its just great. But for pistols getting fencer might be better.

The only real problem with Fencer and Pistoleer is that no matter which one you fight with, you still only have light armor piercing. If you went with Swordsman you would have Medium AP on all of the useful weapons. Also, while Fencer is good for adding to Pistoleer right now because of the Dodge mod, next patch they'll be limiting the cap at 125, which you can get by having Master Pistoleer and a few boxes into Fencer.

I'm currentluy going Carbine/Heavy Swords but I was Master Fencer/<aster Pistols until recently.


If you are buffed and keep spamming CoB as a Fencer/Pistols, you simply cannot be beaten - because you can't be hit, certainly not in PvP anyway.


So I recommend you go Pistols/Fencer for precisely the next10 hours and 24 mins - ie. until they intro Publish 7 which nerfs the stacked defences.


I can't say how Master HS/Carbines works because I am still goin up those skills trees.

Swordsman for PVE, fencer for PVP. Fencers are harder to hit but do less damage. Swordsman are the opposite but most things in PVE hit kinetic and, unless you are a Wookiee, high kinetic ubese is pretty easy to come by.


Always get buffs and wear you armor and you need fear no creature in the galaxy.

I've been both and I'd have to say I love swordsman infinitely more. I did much better in PVE and when buffed definitely better in PVP too. The only problem with PVP I had was when I was unbuffed because HAM costs were so much higher. Fencer has good defense, but the damage is meh.

Now, now.... We wookiees have armor now! (sure, the adv. version only gets to around 46-50%.... but hey, its better than nothing right?) (and the regular set I have has 26% to kinetic, 20% everything else)

Sorry, Kid, I meant no disrespect to the long-suufering Wookiees. As you can see from my sig I was one and could stand the suffering no more.

If you enjoy PvE and like to solo alot then go Swordsmen,,, I am master swords now and
can solo relatively anything in the game.... If you are looking to strengthen your PvP skills
or want some good defense then go with fencer,,,,
