I have played a lot of classes in this game (BH, Combat Terrorist, Doctor, CH, Pistoleer...ect). My holocron directed me here.


I would like to know how the hell you guys do PvP? I know with any of those above classes I could attack anything from 64M. How am I, the Fencer, supposed to run 64M at a pistoleer spamming Stopping Shot at me or a BH/Commando using some 4000 damage PvP shot on me 3 times before I get to them?


Do we just have to pray we get the drop on them or is there any tactic you all employ?


Also, why do TKA Masters have 57 Unarmed Tougness and we only have 32 One-Handed Toughness? Is my Grimbal's Calc wrong or is this some sort of bug?

The pvp thing you should run inside and wait for them to follow you and the tka thing is probably because they train there body to get stonger while we rely on a club. Tka's have always been better at taking damage than us.

More likely than not this (unarmed toughness)is compensation for the inheret Dodge Fencers receive.

Warcry(2 works best for this..) then lunge2 and dizzy.. I'm never to sure on the order. I haven't PvP'd to much with my fencer, but with just novice I've killed several commandos and pistoleers. Maybe they just sucked.

Only a fool does not fully follow the true path of the Fencer! Long live nudity, sticks and butterknives!!!

get buffed, do dizzy 2 + lunge 1



body hit 3 is gangster too




The attic was less to us from the cellar the bones like the attic let them have it let them stay in the attic. When they sometimes come down the stairs at night and stand perplexed behind the door and headboard of the bed brushing that chalky skull with chalky fingers with sounds like the dry rattling of a shutter. Thats what I sit up in the dark to say.

How much damage does body hit 3 do? I have yet to get it.

in PVP i don't know. but one hand hit 2 (Cho Sun) and body hit three (Sai Tok) do about the same damage, for me. sometimes body hit 3 does a bit more, actually.

What're the average HAM costs with say, a vibroblade.

i'm sorry, i have no idea... i don't really watch those numbers as much, and i never use a vibro. plus, it depends on your secondaries. if you want, i can try it out tonight, and post it here. someone else might already have those numbers, though.

The vibroblade's average HAM cost is aorund 16/26/16, the lowest HAM cost on a weapon we get (it's still enough to see our HAM go down every time we use a special...and commando's get almost no HAM whatsoever taken away?? doesn't make sense to me, we attack every second, we kill ourselves all the time)


Anyway, vs. a Commando/BH/Pistoleer, here's my tactic (I'm a master fencer, with 3312 in CH, and 4414 in medic). I CHARGE!!! vs. pistoleer I die in 2 hits with stopping shot. Vs. a BH, I die in one hit. Vs. a commando, I die in one hit. Then, after I'm incapped, I have to watch them kill my pet easily (a delirious merek avenger, 50% resistance to all, poisons, AR of 1, and 10k HAM).

I did say on average, there isn't a huge difference between the focus points. Enough to give an average. Not an exact figure.

oh, i thought he was asking for the actual health/action/mind reduction which is only based on the vibro stats. after that it depends on your armor, if any, your secondaries, and the special itself.
