Fencer Archive

Powiv,

Commando's got destroyed with their nerf. They should be the most devestating damage dealers in the game, but it doesn't matter how much damage the FT does if you can't hit your target (how exactly does a giant flame miss someone standing right in front of it anyway). I just picked up fencer because it was the easiest way to counter rifleman in this game and so far I love it. I do have compassion for your cause though. I think that fencer has a higher than necessary damage output in PvP due to the stun damage type. I would hold out hope for the combat rebalance. I have faith that PvP will be less about the FoTM and more about a persons skill.

Just a crazy idea, HE WAS RUNNING TOWARDS U, um arent moving targets harder to hit?

Let this thread die, too many variables to consider. We can do nothing but wait for the combat rebalance.

In regards to stun damage...only a small percentage of people actually have what you would call an Uber Stun Baton, the rest of us carry around the standard.

You really should explore the ways in which to counter our defenses rather than to request a Nerf. We are balanced, one of our moves is bugged at the moment, and yeas it does allow us to bypass Synthsteak and damage mitigation, the Dev team will take care of it.

My main character (as shown in my sig) is a Master Commando/TKM but I also have a Fencer on Bloodfin that I'm working up. The problem that I see is not so much that Fencer is overpowered (perhaps with an Uber Acklay enhanced stun baton vs. non Stun Armor) but it is more that the Commando profession is still broken. I for one believe that ANY profession is beatable, given the proper preparations. I admit, I am not big into PvP, I have no name in PvP, nor do I want a name in PvP. Where I shine is in PvE. The only other template I've seen that can produce as much damage in PvE as the MC/TKM would be a Swordsman. (Watched 2 of these own a Krayt the other day. Anyhow, lets all whine and cry to FIX the other professions, not NERF what works. I've read for months now all of the people crying and complaining in our TK forums for a nerf. STOP IT! Just fix what is broken first.

Your first mistake was trying to flame him while both of you were (most likely) moving around. That makes it a lot harder to hit plus he's got great dodge and CoB. You should have done a dizzy/kd with your tkm and then flamed the crap out of him. It's not that fencers are uber, you just gotta know how to take 'em down. It may not be as easy to figure out as most other combat profs but if you play against them enough you'll start learning the tricks.

Bleh I hit enter too fast. I forgot to add that TKM would of done WAY more than commando against a fencer but you said it yourself you thought TKMs would do 100% nothing to fencers.

If you took Commando against almost any other combat profession as the ones I listed above including BH and pikeman you would of ran into the same problem. What you're describing isn't a problem exclusive to dealing with fencers.

Commandos need some serious work and FT is probably the most PVP viable tree but even that needs work. FT speed is slow and horridly inaccurate compared to other combat professions accuracy with weapons.

Pertaining to your specific situation Fencers are not out of control but rather the Commandos are severely gimped.

I can't emphasize this enough that if you faced any other combat profession with a person who knows what he or she is doing the situation would of ended up poorly for you if you went commando and kept trying to stick flame with your FT.

stunn is our ONLY good weapon. and people please shut UP about these super powerful stun batons, cause not everyone has them. * maybe 5 out of 20 fencers at time has them* and even with with, yea we are good but HARDLY close to godly.

and COMMANDO need to be nerfed, wth are you talking about, i remeber back before the CH nerf, when a commando could flame you for 2k wounds in 1 shot, ARE you telling me thats fair, but yet you cry when a fencer dodge's most your flame attacks?

But overall most people who PVP dont need to pvp, ill give a EX. Im fighting a TKM. he dosent try to Stunn me at all/Imtimadte me at all. what dose he do KD....kd...kd....kd....kd, While meanwhile me. I stacked dizzy/stun/imtiadate/mind burn/mind posions/blind and Pounding them into the groud, and when he gets up he crys im to powerful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People dontuse any of the status effects they have YET they cry nerf fencer? i just dont get it, I JUST dont get it. * please lord strike these people down and stop them from every pvp'ing again. Or put them in a battle with me for 10mill credits to the Victor*
