Gungeun brings up a good point that I don't know if it was mentioned before because I didn't read all 6 pages of this thread but damage types are very limited for fencer. Any future changes to fencer weapons should include something other than kenetic or stun.
I'm a little surprised that the vibroblade doesn't do electrical damage as it is. But a wider range of dame types is a definate need. Cosmetic changes to me are secondary to this functional change.

/agree
last time i checked we were fencers... not baseball players (sticks)... or cops (batons)...
but since those r our end game weapons (even tho i'd use a sword just cuz it looks better...) we r in a sense screwed

somebody was askin for heat damage??? why??? just about everything has heat protections, i know on scylla Heat is a base for compo and the bases are in the high 70%'s now-a-days so heat is useless, on top of that most things out on Tat and Dant have only heat and some other protections, I dont think ne weapons will happen soon but i think we should see what armor is like after the revamp and then ask for a weapon cause i bet u there will be either A. some new damage types. or B damage types are changed around

Yah, I really wish that fencer had a knockdown like TK. But as a weapon i have 2 different ones. For PvP i usualy use my Stun Baton, (mostly 4 the composite damage thing :smileytongue
For most other things i use my sliced 4 speed gaffi stick. :-) i love it

Wenn the devs chose the name fencer it was because one-hander sounded crap, we arent musketeers. Why anyone would like to have a coil or a rapier I cant understand. I would like to see some futuristic weapons not medievil or rencance weapons. If I wanted to run around and use long swords, gladiatus or rapiers I would play a fantasy set game, like world of warcraft or everqueest.

I agree with just about everyone. I took fencer initially because I thought, watching others, that the specials looked gorgeous in action. Once I mastered it, I loved the profession....and then I went shopping.
After about 4 hours of useless hunting the only worthwhile weapons I found were gaffis and batons. And none in the price ranges of other classes weaponry. Certainly nothing in the Million range worth paying for.
So, i thought....Hey, ive seen a few DECENT curved swords...and thats about the coolest looking of our weapons...ill ask a master weaponsmith to craft me a awesome one using this here aklay....or this here geo core..... but no. Still a lump of crap weapon.
Why? Its a bloody katana. Historically these suckers could cut through a TREE with minimal effort...hell, the samurai would test them on LIVING subjects and if they werent cut in half, more or less, from a single swipe, the blade was useless and they then killed the smith that MADE it as payment.
I want to see swords. Many of them. Ditch these ridiculous gaffi and baton fixations. Our two best weapons are blunt ones. I dont recall fencing being at all related to mace fighting.
So...a list:
Rapier/Epee: Higher AP (1 or 2, if 2 balance damage accordingly or increase HAM), with a lovely speed in the 2.5-3.0 range. Damage in the 75-220 range for basic.
Longsword: AP1, 3.0 spd, average HAM costs. Damage 82-260 for basic.
Sword(current one):Boost its maximum possible damage when made by weaponsmiths to at least make it viable. Additionally perhaps make different damage types possible depending on components used (Kin, Stun)
Ryyk: again, boost its highest possible crafted damage. And maybe alter its damage type.
Rantok: Make them out of something OTHER than rubber or foam please. They are utterly useless. Better off with a stone knife.
Vibro Blade: keep as is
Vibro Sword: Follow the concept of the vibro blade...only higher end damage.
Force Sword: Energy damage. Spd 2.6-3.4, damage range 80-300.
Nerf Bat: Inkeeping with current blunt weapons, lets add this comedy goldmine. Make it huge and pink and emit a squeaking sound like a rubber ducky whenever it hits someone. Uber.
Other ideas: The ability to poison our blades with some sort of crafted item?
Dual Wielding=teh good, as well.
lets see some bluddy changes already.

Well, personally, I do enjoy the weapons we have thus far. The rantok does need some work, but personally, I'd like to see the straight sword raised up again in the form ofa vibrosword. Or considerDarth Tyranus, aka Count Dukuu, who was skilled in an older lightsaber artreferred to as Fencingthat was more apt for melee combat being composed of quick movements within a short distance, whereas the lightsaberswordsman skills were more prone to wider, elongated movements for blocking blaster shots.Consider a weapon with a curved handle similar to Dukuu's lightsaber made of wood or metal, with a thin straight blade. Give it a nasty sting, with low HAM costs and superb speed, and you have the blademaster's weapon, or make it a cert at the same level as the swordman's scythe.TenerbisFencer
The dark blade nightsisters were supposed to use..
Would be sweet
