Whats it gonna be?
I would like to know, that if in the combat balance armor is reduced, what of high end NPC's MOB's and thier accuracy modifiers as this will will put a big damper on a fencers role in end game group and solo activities.

Here's my question...
With Dual-wielded weapons on the horizon, there has yet to be an explanation on its effect on combat in-game. My question is, will dual-wielding be for 'looks' only, or will it add an extra effect in combat (like faster attack speed, higher damage, etc). There is speculation that it is just for the added visual flare, but a more concrete explanation would really help.

I would like to know how we will be a viable combat class. We have a lot of defences, but our stun batons are our ONLY means of being a viable force in PVP. We do not have a weapon for pve. We have one AP1 weapon. You never see those worth a crap. I see people **edit** and moan about how usber we are. The only love we got was the Akalay bones. Other than that we are just classified as FOTM. I was fencer and swordsman way before everyone caught on. What role will we have that is what I would like to know.

What do the designers foresee as far as a new weapon that makes it so the second weapon cert we get is our best all around weapon?
With the concept that we can "no longer target pools" as effectively after the revamp, what effect will that have on Scatter Hit.

Combat balance questions about specific professions probably won't get much of an answer so I think we should try to find out about the accuracy of the mobs they have been adding. Will they be changed after the CB? \do they realise that these mobs destroy the balance of the fencer profession?
Something like:
Fencers are a profession that rely heavily on their defences to compensate for their low damage and AP, however these defences are effected by the accuracy of the attacker. But many of the new mobs that have been added in the recently added content have extremely high accuracy, rendering any defences useless. As a result against these mobs Fencers have defences no better than Swordsmen (who at least havehigh damage AP2 weapons), making them of little use as a part of a group fighting one of these mobs.
At the end of last year there was alot of changes to mobs which we were told was in preparation for the coming Combat Balance. Were these new mobs designed for the combat balance or will they be changed? as their accuracy effectively destroys the balance of the fencer profession.
Just an idea and it will probably need some tidying up.

Me Likes. Though we do need to note that to get the best possible answer you need to make the question as close ended as possible leaving no room for him to wander and beat around the bush.

if you are not a doc, you get stunned intimidated ( and this is after publish 9 ) facing a tkm with a PSG and full set of stun layer armor. you could wail on him until the cows come home and you wont be able to do didily squat. Scatter2 is going to make it off your list of attacks after this publish especailly acing a TKM
