has anyone tried a VB in a duel? i picked about 5 up off and vendor and got a max dmg slice of 21% on 1 ..not the best but i won a duel using it..then again i was fighting a wookie ,who for some reason took his armor off during the fight? i think he switched weapons? but i was hitting him for pretty good dmg..close to 200dmg and fairly fast.

There used to be something enjoyable doing 2k damage a shot a month out of release with a crappy vibro to a prone rifleman.

The only time I'd use a Vibroblade is when I know the ranged PVPer is going to be using a rifle or carbine, then I'd whip out my 2.4 40-196 VB and it seems to do fairly decent damage on them compared to a damage sliced stun baton vs good stun armor.

I can see fencer being overpowered if there were better AP1 weapons, it should be left as is. Wait for the combat revamp, we'll most likely get the lowered armor resists.

Tried using my VB today in a duel with my friend who just made pikeman. We were both wearing 71% kinetic ubese. I had a set of 189 damage VB's and he had his LVA. Needless to say the fight when on and on and on.


I had a hard time doing real damage to him with 1handed3. I was able to work his MIND down a bit with scatter but after he popped two brandies the damage I did was starting to have a really tough time beating out the regeneration. He kept me stunned ALOT though and many of his shots were landing. He did have a hard time knocking me down and he got the KD on me twice although I got a posture down on him 3x with two of those leaving him fish flopping. I kept up the blind attacks to keep his accuracy down which is probably why I was able to survive his attacks. Both of us had our CoB's running although the pike CoB is nothing to go crazy about. We finally peaced and ended the duel when we realized it was going to take a long time for one of us to win.


The odd thing that did happen were his substats. He took ALOT of wounds and his battlefatigue jumped from 209 to 603. I landed a bleed on him once by accident when I touched the wrong button.
