alright i don't know about the rest of you, but i don't want a piece of glass(or it's SWG equivelent) as my supposedly class specific weapon that makes us who we are. We are one handed melee combat, our 2 best weapons right now are basically mace's, i'd love to see a dual wield sword/dagger combo, but i'm not holding my breath on it. my 2nd would have to be the rapier. it is teh empitome of fencer and one handed combat. Yes it's medievil combat, and yet it is still sued today doesn't that tell you something?? do you see people dueling with 2 handed swords in teh olympics no
(i'd go back and fix all the spelling but i'm too tired to think about it)

oh i agree, but i think that a weapon sitting in master shouldn't be a hunk of glass that's gonna break or be useless after one fight, and i'm really sick of out major weapons not being a blade. if you can give us a bladed master weapon with a decent damage, decent durability and AP1 i will be happy as can be but i should probably wake up now lol

All I want is a basic one handed sword similar to the curved sword with AP1 or 2 and damage comparable to the Gaffy stick. Something that would be cool too is if we could use shields similar to the ones the gungans used in Episode 1. Maybe it couldblock like 50% of lasers coming at you? Of course if you used a shield you would have to lower dodge or take it away for that matter.

I think the nameless weapon should incorporate the duel wield. Real swordsman used a main gauche which was a dagger designed for blocking and parrying while the rapier was the offensive weapon. This would fit in nicely with the idea behind fencer and allow us to make practical use of the duel wield system. Each of these weapons could be a vibroblade with some lvl of ap.

we'd have:
- dual wielding \o/
- better AP \o/ (saï are very very pointy)
- a most wished-for move \o/
- new stylish weapon (with only minor TM issue with a turtle and a lady in red)

Ok but wheres the hack and slash part? Cutting does more damage than piercing anyday. Too much focus on gimpy sport fencing poking attacks.
Forget knives, forget foils, forget maces (like we got enough clubs already), forget asian long knives, forget bucklers. Gimmie something that big, one handed (or one and a half), has AP1 minimum, and is equal or at least close to equal to a pistoleers DE-10 which is a VERY hard hitting pistol. Acklay bones aren't an equivalent 
We're fighting people in hard carpace ARMOR, not dudes with socks pulled to their knees or that wear purple hose and frilly collars.

None of you seem to get the fact that modern fencers(you seem obsessed with us being that, notice how this is set a few thousand years ahead of us) have no armor piercing. If you want to get through hit um in a joint. You know, back of knees, inside elbow, between neck and chest. If you want modern fencers, then give up your stupid armor piercing whining. Since we aren't modern day fencers stop trying to make us them. It's a few thousand years ahead, so I can almost understand Ap2. Except for the fact that one handed weapons don't have that kind of power behind them. Vibro sword. I can get behind that. As long as it Ap1. Maybe we should have some joing attacks that give us extra Ap. You know, how bout we have a proffesion that makes at least a little bit of sense.To make up for damage, we should have dodge(at least they got that right)and be reallyfast. Maybe parry some attacks. Parries aren't blocks you know. A one handes weapon can parry a huge crushing blow. It just diverts the direction of the attack. That's a parry. Not a block. No we can't blcok a huge crushing blow, but we can parry it. So if you all want to be the Fencer's you all seem idealize, then at least figure out what it is. Thanks.

K, how many laser pistols and lightsabers do you have at your house. It's not the point that its a long time ago. They are still at least a thousand years ahead of our race. Think about it.
