I am also going to try Fencer out, i have a couple questions and would appreciate any feedback i could get. My template is going to be Master fencer, Tka 4-0-0-4, and doc 0-4-4-0. I would love to get ride of doc but i like being buffed 24/7.


Are Fencers good at pvp? I mainly pvp, and pve isnt that important to me.


What weapons are best to use in pvp for fencers? are these looted weapons or can a WS make me a great one?


What are the devs doing to defense stacking?

the only reason fencer pwns all the other melee profs 1 word STUN

most comp armor doesnt protect vs stun...max 35%

therefore you will slice through armor like butta

Yeah i agree keeping doc hurts me dramatically in combat, i would like to put all those pts into master pikeman, master fencer and the rest into TKA. I am not holo grinding either just trying to build a really good pvp char. I like all the defense that fencer offers, just dont know how good offensive i would be. I defiantly dont want to go rifleman, seems half the server is a rifleman.

Anyway thks for the advice

Well, I', 3012 pikeman right now, and although I had originally thought fencers can't deal damage (and to somposite wearing people with stun layers, they can't), I'm notiing that the speed thing really is key. Sure, I have a 450 damage, AP2, 3.5 long vibro axe, but I swing very slowly, and miss 25% of the time if not more. Fencer looks like what I'll always come back to.

Fencers RARELY get a good looted weapon. Your best bet is actually dropping doctor if you're going to PVP. I was mixing & matching yesterday and saw Master rifleman, master fencer, TKA 0004, and pistoleer 0003. That'll use up all 250 points and let's be honest.... You can buy doc buffs whenever you want. But who knows with defense being capped shortly?



I'm actually thinking of dropping doctor once I have a few million saved up, because frankly, the lack of skill points left is really hurting me in combat. Especially comparing pikeman to fencer. I'm starting to really like pikeman though, and I don't do this for holos either. Holo said TKA and I ignored it out of principle.
