Hi Everyone,
I decided to look at all the fencer weapons and express my opinions about each one. Please feel free to post your own opinions on these weapons 
TYRRAN'S FENCER WEAPON LIST
1) Gaffi Stick **** (4) +
The gaffi is probably considered the fencer's standard issue weapon. It has the most damage and can be used pretty quickly after starting to evel th brawler 1 handed tree. It is definately the most reliable weapon. However, the gaffi has no AP and is a little slow (although that doesn't really matter once your master) Also, the gaffi is basically a lead pipe, and isn't really fun to fight with.
2) Stun Baton ***' (3.5) +
The stun baton is only useable by fencers, it is a very useful weapon because it is the fencer's only damage type other than kinetic. Plus stun gets through most composite amor (unless it specifically has stun protection) Despite this, the baton has pretty weak damage and no AP. Plus, it's a bat. Who wants to run around with a bat?
3) Vibroblade *** (3)
Well, it is our only weapon with AP. But it's damage output is low and it's kinetic damage. Plus it's a knife. The one weapon that can cut through armor is a knife. If it was a sword, I would have definately given it a better rating.
4) Nyax Sword ** (2)
The only reason this weapon is getting 2 stars is because it actually is a sword. But it does no damag and has a horrible DoT. Only reason to have one is to place in ur house.
5) Survival Knife * (1)
HAHAHA
6) Dagger * (1)
See above ^
7) Ryyk Blade *** (3)
The ryyk blade is pretty cool. Nice looking sword. Although it doesn't do much damage, and it has no AP, I like its style. But when it comes down to it, it's not very useful.
8) Sword ** (2)
Almost forgot about the plain sword. Well, not much else to it. No damage, no ap. It's just not that good. But it is a sword. 2 stars.
9) Curved Sword ***' (3.5) +
This sword is great for leveling fencer. It's pretty powerful and fast. But once you get your speed mod high enough, the curved sword becomes almost obsolete. It does serve it's purpose though.
10) Stone Knife * (1)
Completely useless, unless it has a DoT.
11) Jagged Vibroblade ***' (3.5)
The reward for completing the rebel theme park, this knife is just like a normal vibroblade except it has a bleed built in. Still not that great. I'll make it a step up from a normal vibroblade.
12) Janta Knife ***' (3.5)
Horrible damage, but that's not the point of this weapon. I personally rely on Janta knives, with a nice mind poison, they can really help in a duel.They can't deal direct damage themselves, so I'll give it a 3.5.
13) Donkuwah Knife ?
Don't know enough about this one since I don't have one myself. Any info woud be great.
14) Rantok *** (3)
Bad damage, no AP, only can be found in the Jabba themepark. Why a 3? Because it is really cool. When I just want to have fun, I use this guy. It has great visual effects and people ask me about it all the time. Has no realuses, but it is a very fun weapon to play with. I hope it will someday become craftable.
+ Any weapon with this next to it means they areuseful inleveling fencer.Remember to try to get a speed slice until you have gotten enough 1 handed speed. After that a damage slice is best.
Hope you had fun reading this thread

Oh yeah forgot to add.
1 star is useless don't even bother using it, compared to
5 stars which is thegreatest weapon... almost never use anything else.

does it not bother anyone else that as fencer we have no decent sword of any kind
it funny to me that we fencer use stick but no rapier or katana or something that a real "baldemaster" would use.
just a thought

i agree with the swrod thing...but i also heard that after the combat revamp publish fencers and pistoleers will be able to duel weild! I have a friend who is a master weaponsmith and is making me the best gandeffi batpn and a stun baton...then have them sliced....so if we can duel weild by then i think the best combo will be a stun baton and a gandeffi baton....i misspelled gandeffi

actually only a complete idiot would use a kinetic and stun weapon together in IMO,why would you use a kinetic and stun weapon at the same time?

I can imagine if you are unsure of ur opponents armor stats, you could have 2 different types of weapons to be safe.
However I'm pretty sure that dual wielding will have new weapons specifically designed for that type of combat. So getting a gaffi and a stunner won't do u much good if your planning on fighting with 2 swords.

Thank you... your right about it being a problem from the start.
I have a ryyk blade with 300 max. (This is after a slice)
However, the min is 46 which is pretty bad. But since the max is so high it allows me to use it when I'm fighting something that isn't really important. It really is fun to fight with a sword.
Thank you for working on a solution to the fencer's lack ofgood swords

I love my vibroblade. As a low-level fencer, its damage output is only slightly below my stun baton and curved sword, but it has less than half the HAM cost. It's great for fighting unbuffed.
