Ok...I'm a relative newbie...I've been playing 3 weeks...and I'm going to get master Fencer and make it my primary combat profession.
I'm a human...what should I go to my local Image Designer and have them set my stats to, in order to maximize my potential?
Thanks in advance...

Fencer special attacks hit health alot (i think, kinda new as well) so go heavy on the health sub-stats

Well, I've tried migrating some to my mind pool at the expense of health.... I'm trying to get it to be the best and as balanced as possible in an unbuffed state (cause I solo a lot, and am pretty much a 1-profession act right now...)

I'm a tkm/ fencer, my suggestion is put your action, health, mind at 900 and leave everything else as is. your gonna need to get buffed to do anygood anyways.

What I did was move everything into the mind sub stats. Leaving the rest of my health/action low. Why? B/c you can always get buffed. You can't always find a dancer when you need one lol.

Yeah, go full mind.
Might as well asume you will always be playing buffed. Rather sensless to play without.. lol.
If you truly are going to 'solo' then I would go 600 h/a 450 secondaries, rest into mind.
Neuron pixie your way to master.. and spend a fortune on foods.
In the long run, buffs are the best way

you MAXED all of your mind (Mind/focus/willpower)
and you MAXED Strength, Constitution, Stamina, and Quickness?
Um, not to be rude, but what race are you? lol.
Im unfamuliar with the race caps, but humans are ~1000 a stat.

As others have mentioned, more mind stats is helpful. Armor, your weapons, and specials use up a lot of mind plus if you have medic skills that uses mind as well.
It is generally easier to find a doctor to buff your health/action stats than to find a dancer and muscian to buff your mind stats (although if you can get everything buffed, go for it!).
I don't go anywhere without brandy as well as other food/drink. Synthsteak, vagnerian canap, ahrisa, and blue milk are all helpful to have on hand as well!

i have my Health 400/400/400 Action 400/400/400 Mind 1100/600/1100 (human)
and even after mind buff (mind pools doubled) when i swing my stun baton it takes off
like 57 mind PER attack. end up still having to drink 2 brandys just so it doest cost any pools for specials. (maybe i just have a bad ham baton dont know)

Mine is something like that but something doesn't look right there. Can't check it at the moment but since you are going to get buffed and that will throw 2200-2500 on top of whatever you have in HA, and extra 100-200 won't save your butt.
Accept that you are always going to be buffed when you fight. Now think of the last 20 times you died. I'll bet 18 of them at least were Mind incap related. Now think about that for 12 seconds. mmmmm what causes death that I can't easily heal... mmmm YOUR MIND!
Take all the points you have in your Healthand Action and all their substats.
Maxout yourMind and Willpower and put whatever is left into Focus. If you get a fullentertainer buff, you don't need Canape or Brandy and you can spam specials like crazy. BTW, only drink 2 brandies at once in emergencies. If you drink 1 then let it get half to three quarters gone before you drink another, you can have three brandies in you at once. Save belly room for canape as well.
There is no reason in this game, as it is today, to leave anything in HA at all since no one goes anywhere unbuffed.
That being said, I will be in line for a stat migration along with everyone else on day 2 of the combat rebalance when I expect your HAM (or whatever we have then) setup requires thought again. As it is today put everything in MInd and substats, tomorrow who know....

BTW you do have a mind heavy batton.

well i put it at high mind and get some good buffs to secure my health and my action.. i find it very well. just dont forget to get mind buffs.. get brandy at 470+ and get an entertainer to mind buff you. it works great! i owned three masters by myself once and it was all because of the mind.. plus fencer kicks anus.
