yeah...i find myself not believing the 5000+ damage from even a master fencer...the weapons just do not support that kind of damage. I am a novice Heavyswords man, with a 120-460 damage powerhammer, and with my best special the most i have ever hit for is 3500. And i have ventured into the fencer tree, and with my best weapons i never could hit for much above 1000. Although I was far from master.



"So I swoop upon the foe, and I will slay,
I will hew them into pieces, I will dash them into dust;
Like Baal in his strength, on their rearward, lo! I fell,
And I killed them, none escaped me, and I slew, and slew, and slew."

From my experience:


At novice fencer, I can only damage a half health ofLesser Dewback and die. But at only 1001 now I cankill 2.... of course witha little bit health...

Tomir, Use gaffis or curved swords for PvE, better damage, or speed. Virbos are us spamming specials in PvP. I swear, you'll be getting higher damage than that.

I'm not trolling your boardor anything, I have a young Fencercharacter just about to start into the tree. Mainly wanted to do it because Fencers are so rare and everyone says how broken they are, they're weak etc. etc blah blah blah. This is the kind of class I normally play, just to prove people wrong. (For those that played DAOCmy first characterwas a Blademaster back before they fixed em to give you an idea) I play a Bounty Hunter as my main because I play with a group of RL friends and Volth the Bounty Hunter was the character I played in our Tabletop Star Wars RPG campaign, plusI like Bounty Hunters and have alot of fun playing him. But I digress.


Just posted to clear up the thing about the guy that hit for 5k+ If the target was using a rifle then there's your answer. Someone already mentioned the 2.5 times melee damage multiplier when attacking someone with a rifle. I have a friend that's a master rifleman and he unequips his rifle when mobs try to melee him, otherwise most big critters will kill him in 1 hit. Also consider AR if you were using a Vibro (I think that's the only AR 1 weapon Fencers get (?)) which would add 25% more damage if he wasn't wearing armor. The effect of these two things is huge. I was killing Stormtroopers at the Imperial base on Lok last night and I 1 shot killed a Stormtrooper with a rifle for 19k damage with my LLC using Lightning Single 2. Right now heavy weapons are considered melee (a bug they're looking at from whatI understand) so if someone is using a rifle I'll always pull out my LLC and usually kill them in one or two shots max. As a melee class, if you can get the jump on a rifle user you should be able to take them down incredibly fast unless they're smart like my friend and unequip their rifle (most won't). By the way, my big hit so far with just the brawler one-handed tree is about 1100ish to a knocked down target (dizzy+lunge) usinga powered up/damage sliced Curved Sword. Can't wait to see how Fencers are higher up the tree
