Fencer Archive

you all don't seem to see my point F PvP, pvp is boring and lame. i want to kill things in the game not some jack ass thats talking smack. A fencer should be able to handle a Mauler overlord or whatever they are but we can't since they have 50+% resists and armor rating. So we can bleed.... but i don't like seeing em die as i lay dead since he kicked my ass.

why would we want armor peircing on our two worst weapons? thats just stuuupid

Lol.. my Gaffi is 140-279 dmg.. WITHOUT powerup. I only have "onehanded sword 2" and i hit upwards of 1400 dmg with it.

I am going to try it out with a powerup right now. Fencer is the funnest class i have played in SWG.... i plan on going master doctor/master fencer/novice-pistoleer/2handmeleedabbler

ack.. i forgot to include that the Baton has 1.0 spd.. and 110% wounds

Hmm.... after a nice lil' repair.. my baton came out with these stats

145-290 dmg (no-powerup)

0.8 spd

110% wounds

12 Counterattack mod

12 Defense vs. Intimidate mod

*sigh.. cant find a powerup to use it with, so i still dont know its full dmg.. etc. etc.

A master fencer i stumbled upon said she thought it was the best 1hweapon she had ever seen by far.

I have one of these, its sliced and not bad, i can do as much as 1400 damage with specials and no powerup, but I'm looking for another one. The attack speed is in the 2's (2.4 i think) and I'm on Intrepid, anyone selling any? Or know of anyone selling any? I'd like an upgrade...

I used to use the baton but it takes to much HAM!!! Maybe on my server we just have sucky weaponsmiths but the best Baton I found did 222 damage and too 65 health 45 action and 25 mind! I am Zabrak and let me tell you, even with strengh all the way up to 500 and NO ARMOR it takes 89 damage from me every swing! I don't know how many of you fight NPC Storm troopers but you need armor and then the number jumps up to 109!!! I do more damage to myself than from the storm troopers!

I just use a curved sword, has higher wound than a vibroblade and takes less ham than a Ryakk blade. I think it's a good compormise with 2.2 attack 175 damage +7 ranges and 2535 20

Rro-

a suggestion that's helped me... buy a crate of tatooine sunburns. the Gaffi will take no health or action, and the mind is already so low... then i throw on a mind reducing powerup on a Gaffi, and voila. a virtually NO HAM weapon!

this is how i do my personal tricks. last night was my most amazing fight ever. one tusken chief, one tusken guard, and five raiders. me and my pet. there was a lot of running, an equilibrium and vitalize use, a couple stims, and 4 close calls. i would give ANYTHING to have had that recorded just to show people that you're absolutely right. i was wearing composite chest, biceps and bracers only.

the fight after that was two tusken death guards and an avenger. i won it too. all with the Gaffi, and tatooine sunburns. amazing stuff.



p.s. after those two fights, i was walking out of the fort, and i bumped into an elite guard. i took my merry time responding to his attack, and he slew me. so i still looked like a chump to everyone who missed the other two fights inside the rooms. [sigh]

p.p.s. this is my official testimonial that the gaffi outshines any weapon (for me)

Leftik. Rancor teeth dont work and dont go into gaddy batons. Other professions that ive seen drop 2k+ dots, Commando, BH, Heavy Swordsman(ive seen one drop a 7k mind bleed in PvE). As for getting hit for 750dmg by a pistol, try getting hit by stopping shot with a 422dmg scatter, that does the trick everytime.

I also forgot to mention my baton mentioned in previous posts has 6/8/1 HAM..... i'm guessing thats decent.

could be better

Having been a master commando and a master pistoleer at some point or another, i can confirm that they dish out some serious damage when equipped with the right weapons.


Ever seen what FlameSingle2, FlameCone2, FlameSingle1, FlameCone1 does to a target?


In that order anything goes down, i mean anything regardless of heat resists, rancors with their 100% resist to heat still die about 15 seconds after the last shot, they all stack so the DOT gets huge upto 4k ticking away every 5-8 seconds, all on health.

Now figure in the fact that without 100% resist these specials deal out 3-8k of direct damage you can forget comparing fencer to commando in the damage game.




Pistoleer armed with a Krayt DX2 100-240 2ish speed. Stopping shot will easily hit for 1500+, while he could fire off fan shots at not much less damage 2 every 1.7 seconds.



So far Fencer is the weakest of the professions ive played raw damage wise, but that doesnt mean that you cant solo high end mobs, get yourself novice pistoleer, some doc buffs some sunburn and some spice and you can pretty much go toe-to-toe with most critters, i suspect.


my current macros are ..

Start: do this no matter what
switch to krayt FWG5, healthshot1, Healthshot2, switch to gaffi stick, healthhit1.


NPCwhip: do this on NPCs, humanoids
dizzy, lunge ...

Critterwhip: do this on critters.
Intimidate, warcry ..




these basically start me off on any enemy from there i either beserk on a KD'd npc or spam 1hbodyhit2 on a critter.


There could be better tactics out there but so far this works the best for me in my limited fencer experience, been fencer now for about 2 days and have already got nearly 5 boxes

Despite what i said about the gaffi it is the best weapon, i just said look wise id prefer if fencer had their best weapon actually be a sword or something with a blade,

With a 60-160 vibroblade and a 138-270 gaffi, the gaffi is by far the more superior even without the ap and the +1 sec speed.

currently im

0/1/1/2

and have currently switched to getting polearm and 2h xp for Master Brawler, already had unarmed from commando.

I made it to master using a curved sword. That's it. I did it my way.

Now I swap between my trusty curved sword, vibroblade, stun baton and gaderiffi baton depending on the situation.

Curved is for general purpose hacking while looking pretty at the same time. It's still my primary weapon.

Vibroblade for stacking bleeds on5 or 6swarmingBolmas or whenever else I need to really save the HAM.

Stun Baton for Dewbacks, Banthas, Squill and whatever else needs a good stun upside the head.

and of course, the gaffi comes out when I need big damage fast or just want to see the red ribbons of death but it drains so much health to use that it is still not my primary weapon

I owned 1 Rykk blade and got rid of it within an hour of buying it.
