I am one of the Alpha testers for Fencer so look me up in the CU server so far just one charcter so far: Gunit. I will add some Screen Shots of the new UI icons that some of you have asked for later this afternoon It's 4am now I'm tired =).

Thanks for posting that
I like that we can heal our own states, can other proffesions do that?
I also like that we can slow action regen and reduce movement. I'm a little disapointed that the only state we can apply is Blind. Going to have to look into pikeman and swordsman to try and decide what to dabble with.

I'm going to sticky this as part of a CU FAQ Thread package once we get a couple more of these type of documents going.
Please before you comment please do not complain about this... it is not finished, I know there are several things which haven't been put in but are planned.
Casper will keep this updated, or I'll run him down on my motorcycle like straight outta Road Warrior, with a bat converted to a Gaffi.

been stuck in florida and can't play the game at all, dunno when i get back because im litterally stuck here (car broke down)
I have a question, does scatter hit still function the same as it does currently. With that i mean being a 3 hit attack vs an attack that damages all pools. With its ability to wear down peoples gear and what not that was always pretty cool to me and i'd hope that they would keep that attack the same because it had a unique function to it.

Finally! I was starting to get sick of every Tom, John (Language Filter), and Harry wielding a Stun Baton as a Dabbler. I Think that I will be outfitting myself with RIS since it's a Fencer Certifiable Armor...

Question about Melee Defense- If we were to take Smuggle or Swordsman, would that benefit us fencers in terms of upping our Melee defense? I know they want to get away from stackers but dont know if that means we cant benefit from having some smuggler or another profession to get more defense.
Anyone know if they have confirmed on this that it will not "stack"
Thanks

I dont know about anyone else, but I am kinda upset I put about 20 million into my fencer to end up having to pick another profession and spend more cash on that profession. I no longer have dodge, a dizzy attack or a posture change.... for me this is worthless.

You get a Posture change in brawler and upgrades to it in Fencer (currently that is how it is, who knows if that will stay) ... it's as effective as any posture change move in the game. And number one thing is that this tree is NOT FINISHED!!!!
I'm going to say this again for clarification... just so I am not mistaken.
This Skill Tree is not complete!!!
Maybe one more time.
This is not the final skill tree.
Are we clear on that point yet?

Sorry to upset you there minerunner. I agree that its not finished, it wont be finished until May 5th. But from history I can say that SOE will not change much to it if any.
On the other hand I have looked over extensively the abilities and what each one does. I see lunge in the brawler tree and an in the fencer tree but the ability does not read as to that it is a posture change. It says it extends the range of your attack and you hit harder. I do see leg sweep in the Unarmed line in brawler but it seems you would have to change your weapon to be able to use it ( unless some change is made that i dont know about and you can use it with a 1 hander as well from the unarmed line )
I am sure I have misread something there and you would know better than anyone since you are the fencer coro. I am probably just mis-educated and did not read something. Thanks for setting things clear.

Almost all melee attacks can be used with all melee weapons. Though I suspect a bleed will have to be done with piercing or slashing weapons (bladed weapons/knucks). The lunge is in practice on TC5 performing a knockdown with a fair chance of success. Weather that will change or not is unknown.
