Lord Nyak Sword and Lord Nyak Curved sword are both decent weapons (easy to get too). They are good for the dots, not the damage.I think it is about 150, but don't recall at the moment if it is disease, poison or bleed (2 of the 3, but can't recall which two). After I get home I can check and update.

The purpose of this thread is to bring to light things that people might not know about Fencers and content for Fencers in the game.
I'll kick this one off with something you probably don't know.
Fencer Weapon - a 4 headed mace - Is in the game, has been since the launch of the Bestine Election Quests, it is the rarest reward for voteing for one of the candidates. I've never seen one in game, but it's there, it just happens to never get rewarded because of a variable set of circumstances that never happen durring the 6 week voteing cycle. There IS a picture of a Wookie holding it as one of the loading screens... the one about Wook armor. Big props if you have one of these weapons.
Hmmm... I wonder if it's because everyone seems to vote for Sean. Oh boy, if it's tied to having the other candidate win, how the heck can I get my server to change voting lol.
This is fascinating stuff - gotta look into it more.

wasnt the whole purpose of the vibro sword brought about, according to KOTOR, becuase it was the only melee weapon to fight against a lightsaber to begin with? Would love to see a vibro sword, if it is done right. Also some better animation with the stun baton would be nice as well. I am still new to the melee classes in SWG (been ranged all this time) and went with fencer and am a little disapointed when I see a scyth dealing tons of damge with a speed as low as most of my one handed weapons (2.5). seems a little wrong but then I have not looked at all the speed modifiers in the 2 classes either.
here is to hoping for some nicer weapons coming!!

No the weapons in KOTOR were treated with a cortosis weave which at the time the game takes place, is readily available and easy to duplicate to all the other weapons. During this time though that kind of technology has been lost as jedi themselves aren't supposed to be that numberous anymore, making such technology kinda worthless if there isn't any lightsaber toting maniacs running around anymore. In KoTOR Jedi were as widespread as almost any other profession that exists in Star Wars. The vibro sword is like a longsword, vibroblade is supposed to be a shortsword, and the vibro knife/dagger is supposed to be well, a knife or a dagger. Currently we have the blade version but they made it look more like a knife than a short sword.

If I remember correctly, the Vibroswords and the like were used because the energy shields didnt defend against non-energy weapons. The cortosis weave made them able to fight against lightsabers without getting their weapons lasered in half (think Jabbas' goons in ROTJ). Cortosis is hardly common though and they were seldom used thereafter because
1. they were running out.
2.there was no need for them.
I still want a Vibrosword though
