Good idea why don't you take your hard earned skills and support someone who had enough sence to get real skills. You can sit back and watch them mind hit Mob while you add little to no benefit to the battle. PVP + fencer = cloning center.
As a fencer I've had novice pistoleers kite me while they finish off their mission without worry. By the time your animations are finished they are 65 m away. Better yet get hit with one blast of mind poison or have your mind drained so you can't heal. If you are going to play fencer make sure you have combat medic or ranger so you can run real fast. Your going to need it. But with the TKA I win button (dizzy - knockdown) you will get the message you can't burst run while on your back, then you get you are too tired to burst run, or better yet you can't burst run while dizzy.
Its best to play fencer without armor because armor gets damaged in the cloning process.

ummm with a CoB macro and comp armor you could get dizzy kded by a tkm and laugh at him when he goes to town lol
but in general fencer for me anyways has always been a support prof for defense stacker :/

I realize that most of my PVP battles have been against defense stackers but my coment about ranged characters kiting is very true. A fencer doesn't stand a chance against ranged unless you are in a city and know how to work around corners and in buildings to draw a ranged character near you. I admit I can stand up to a krayt dragon or a gorax and live but I can't live long enough to kill it because I don't have the damage output. I faught a Death Watch Wrath alone and it took me 1hr and 45 min to kill it. A swordsman came to where I was and killed one in 10 min. At the nightsister village I can't get any loot because anything I attack a swordsman will run up and kill it faster and loot.
I have been beside AFK swordsman at loot spots and they can kill a mob and loot AFK faster than I can kill a single NPC. TKA hits harder, they have all kinds of meditate bonuses, and they have the I win button. When you are on the ground you don't have dodge or COB, nor can you heal. I have skill tapes and bio clothes and months of experience. I havepricey low enc composite. I have Janta knives and Nyax Swords with impressive dots. Maybe I can't play a fencer very well but I do know you are the weakest character in the game as a fencer. Thats why you don't see many around. This is also why every where you go you seemost peoplekneeling as if everyone is praying to mecca.
I watched a Swordsman kill 5 sith Thugs before I had 1 down and died. This is the first game of this type I played and I made the mistake of not reading the message boards before picking a profession. Thank God the CB will set me free.
This won't be fixed with the CB revamp. There aren't enough fencers left to worry about them.

Why continue to troll this board with your whiney non constructive rubbish ?
You dont like fencer ? Then get over it and leave this board to the people that do.
Why keep bringing up swordsman ? Of course they will outdamage a fencer.. damage what they are designed to do, their defense however is another matter..

ive been a M-Fencer on and off for a while now and i have taken out tons of ranged ppl in duels and wide open battles smack in the middle of theed where there is no wall to hide behind for a while i was pure melee with no ranged mitigation(granted now that i am M-Rifleman it makes it easier) you gotta know what ur doin get them intimidated, get them dizzy a bit, get them runnin and knock em down, stun em just lay on the states then lay em out, if u cant take em down... do what they do RUN! they cant shoot for ever get outta their range, heal ur self do what u gotta then get back in the thick of it

All you did inyour post was whine about my post. My advice was constructive. Go swords. If you want access to content and you want to tank tough NPCs go swords. I've seen bad advice from players who must be noobs not to understand that fencer simply sucks at just about everything. One good post spells out that fencer can be worthwhile with an investment of at least 10Mil. This I can agree with.
But to the person starting this thread on a more positive note: everything will be ok, your just fine, be happy, your doing great, good for you. Have a nice day

I'd say scroll back to the last 5 pages to see what's been going on. But yet again, we have folks coming in here and asking for template help, instead of using the damn threads like they're supposed to, just like a year ago. 
Oh, and the devs changed Lunge on us without telling us, one of our few useful moves.

In about a week I'm gonna call in the moderators to lock all template threads that aren't in the template threads =). Just gave everyone a little bit of time to get adjusted to the CU and such.

Casper we really need new template threads though, Post-CU I have to sort through something like 6-9 pages of now useless or un attainable professions to find stuff posted about CU templates, Can you start new threads for these? and just have links to the old ones for ref if we want it?
Ok sounds good.
