Fencer Archive

the 5 sec on the armor seems quite quick, but 5 seconds to draw my sword? Not much of a master fencer. and master pistoller should be like wyatt earp with the draw. So everyone will walk around with weapons in hand now (well most seem to anyway), I like to take my armor off and put away my weapons in town for role playing, now I can't do that as gameplay will overrule roleplay. Disappointing.

Hehe Maybe us creature handlers will now get our 15 second timer reduced to 5.

- Existing caps won't change.
- Skill mods and damage reduction will be tied to professions. In other words, you either get your pistoleer dodge bonus or your fencer dodge bonus, but not both at once. Likewise, you either get you ranged damage reduction or your melee damage reduction, but not both.

These two are incorrect. The devs at Fan Fest said that the cap will be removed and fencer+pistoleer dodge will stack. While it may seem like they would just be moving backwards (fencer+pistoleer was the reason for the mod cap) under the new combat system the numbers will work out so that they are not godly in pvp, they just have a better dodge than only having one of the professions. The reason for this is that they want people to have an advantage when they pick up fencer+pistoleer or carbineer+swordsman.
