Thinking about the recent firestorm over fencer becoming the next in line for nerfs, I
have decided that a new, hefty proposal was in order. We should not be the weakest class
in the game, damage-wise. Therefore, I bring to you a new proposal, one that will allow
superiority over everyone else, the way it should be. Fencer pride, man.
In this revision, I have gone back to the drawing board, and come up with an answer
so astoundingly simple.
AP 3 Weapons
Lightfoils would be my first choice as an AP 3 weapon, and the damage type can be kin & en,
in the case that one of our enemies already has a high resistance to one of those damage
types. Alsothink about an AP 3 Master weapon, that does 1200 Damage and dmg types
electricity, stun, and blast. Think of it as a shark prod or cattle prod. Quite devistating,
ripping apartanything in our path, as it should be! I definitely love this idea,
and I bet a lot of you do too. We'd be unstoppable. You see, from hereI
can envision us as the class to play. Balance? Pfft. Lets make itso
you and I as fencers can roxxor people's boxxors!
Thinking further, what about nerfs? Surely people would not want to mess with fencers, and
even would cry,though they all really just want to be fencers.So, we petition the devs to
stop nerfs altogether, and just power up the other classes.In the end, when they can
total a krayt in 5 minutes compared to our 2, they won't whine as much.
Looking ahead to other weapons, we need more AP 2 weapons. Stuff like an
electro-whip that does 300-600 damage,Or how about a kibachi? You know, those sharp,
tiny japanese swords? That is 1200 damage dual weilding right there,
smelling of whole-hearted fencing goodness.
So, what else do I envision for a fencing community that longs towholeheartedly
embrace ideas they think I put out? I am more a corrospondant than any they have
ever had before, and they love me for it.
Well, next up is the thought that we just do not have enough defenses. Seriously. I
hate being hit once every 30 times. So we should have the speed cap removed,
and have our dodge cap increased, so that we can be more maneuverable. We are broken;
time to start petitioning hard to have the devs fix our broken and nerfed class.
I think from here, we should look at some AP 1 weapons for brawlers to
dominate their noob friends with. Make all of our wepaons now AP 1. Put them
in the 1 handed tree of brawler in the first box. After all, it's
only fair that brawlers don't become overpowered. Also, the stun baton needs to be AP 1.In
the new system, having it AP 0 is too weak. And we can put in in the Dance of blades:
skill box number 4 for one handed for brawler.
Taking everything I have said, I realize that other professions will need a boost. 2H sword
are fine as they are, but polearm needs a boost to all AP 2. It would only be fair. TKA's
kill everything in sight. They will have to be given lower defenses so they are balanced as
evenly as the rest of us. The ranged classes will become AP 1 and 2.
Mitigation for these classes will be redone as well. Fencer will have mitigation 4 and 5, and
everyone else will be dropped back down to mitigation 2.
So, in conclusion, these are the ideas for fencer, and I know you all will love every single one
equally. The words just flow off the page, and into the hearts of
ready and willing fencers everywhere. You can almost sense a deeper meaning here. It is
in this very fencing community, that greatness is born before you all. Reread it
over and over, and let every morsel sink in. This is the future of SWG, and offencer; its
us against them, and its time we win. After all, what do they think this is, a parody?
satire? Or silliness that will just go away? No, we are the fencers, and we shall
lay waste to any in our path, bring our desires here to the devs very doorstep,so that
you and I can be what we always wanted to be. Uber.

Well Zion you set yourself up for a good one this time...
Also, if anyone takes this serious and believe Zion actually means this you need to get a sense of humor.
Great post Zion

Will we be able to use acklay bones in them?
Nope, they would only make them less wanted. I say that those stats are the base made from the crappiest of the crappy resources, and just to make sure that there are plenty of them, make it so novice artisans can make them, and the novice artisan starts with 20 experimentation points, only for our master weapon of course.

Why do you have to be an **edit** about this thread? he posted this as a joke, something to liven up the boards. If you think he actually meant this you seriously need a sense of humor, I mean come on. You need to get over yourself and what ever you have against Zion. Granted Zion's first weapon proposal was clearly not thought out, his second one was, and he posted this as a joke. I really think you need to grow up and learn how to take a joke.

OMG. I now know you do not have a sense of humor....did you not see that this is a joke, some humor for our boards, that he doesn't really mean it? are you so out of you mind that you can't see that I was joking? well I also now know that you are just a forum troll that has no life, and feels that you are all mighty in this forum. Go back to school where you belong.

Vince is always a jerk to me. It makes me laugh, that I set him up so well.
Let me make my initial post perfectly clear now:

That should spell it out.
So Vince, what's it like to be an illiterate idiot?
I love anagrams...

This is exactly what I mean about trolls Zion. People dont even comprehend what you write, they just jump to their own conclusions based on their quick glance of what you wrote and what others write.
You cant write any threads without someone trolling it assuming things. Its inevitable.
This thread is great though Zion, its funny as hell, good post.
