Fencer Archive

okay the question im really trying to find out doesnt have to do with foods, drinks, or KD Combos. I dont even try KD most of the time against melee opponents because they are prob 1. TKM and 2. have capped KD defense. This is not my problem. My problem is how do i do damage toa person who has capped Def mods, wearing adv comp, has full buffs, has best weapon they can which usually does triple damage of any fencer weapon I have. I am a master fencer, master brawler. I am the mayor of my city so alot of sp's are used up, this is my main probem as I spend what few points I have left in medic. Now I have an okay stun baton, it works great on ranged people and I can come up with alot of ways to take them down. BUT template stackers who stick to melee weapons OWN. I mean the other day o kauri it took 12 people to take 1 template stacker using every trick in the book. THIS IS WRONG, takes all fun out of the game. And the dude still took out at leat 6 of the people before they killed him. What can we do about something like this? if he's wearing adv comp prob has at least 35% to stun, so our acklay stun baton will do crap damage, and if hes buffed then stats so high it will regen before we can do any damage. This leaves mind pool for attack, as a fencer best chance I have is scatter2, but even if I did get his mind low enough he prob has Muon, Brandy, Canape, and Force of Will cause every person just HAS to go TKM.

Ok heres a few things you need if you want to do well in pvp for items

1) BE Brandy

2) BE Canape

3)80% kinetic armor, and as high of a stun resist helmet you can find

4) Acklay Stun Baton or a 30%+ dmg sliced normal stun baton

5)Synthesteak (sp?) makes you take xx% of less damage

Fighting tactics

1) 1 handed dizzy 2 is a very nice area attack to use when trying to fight more than one melee profession

2) Scatter Hit 2 works well because it hits all pools of damage

3) 1 handed lunge is great for chasing down a ranged class or combat medic

What to do with your remaining points...hmmmm I suggest you do Meditation 1-4 because then as long as your buffed with armor you won't really need to heal. If you do manage to take wounds you can just meditate them off.

Good luck I hope that helps and makes sense

I always try to scout them out before the battle, but with group tef'ing these days... it's hard sometimes. But, make sure you try to know your opponent before the fight. Know what professions he is, what armor he's wearing, his ham, etc. Adjust your weaponry and usage of tactics as needed. I usually start off with a warcry and intimidate on everyone, then move on to dizzy/lunge. If dizzy/lunge doesn't work(which alot of times it doesn't), I proceed to blind/bleed/fire dot(stone knife) and usually scatterhit2.. and reapply status effects as needed from there.

i have no problem with almost any profession. THE ONLY exception is template stackers with stacked mods and capped def. how do we get past this? we cant deal mind damage so if they are buffed, and wearing adv comp they are near unbeatable. how do we kill a person if they're regening all damage i do

That's why you get you a good fire dot or mind poison dot stone knife. I looted mine off of the mokk on dantooine. They are really not that hard to get. Got mine in just a few missions. These help to weaken opponents and kinda get their minds on something else besides you for a few valuable seconds. Or have a handy dandy combat medic with you

Sethlin, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

You've said you have a lot of skill points tied up in Politician. That is why you're losing. The template stackers have used ALL of their skill points in combat professions while you have not. There's no reason why you should be able to beat them.

My other point is Fencer is a DEFENSIVE profession. It would be unbalancing if Fencer was capable of uber damage while having the defense mods that it does. Just be glad you even get the Stun Baton to be able to do some damage. The Fencer profession is not about damage. It is about survivability.

You're really asking for the moon and stars here. Either drop Politician and invest in some more combat ability or accept the fact that people who spend more skillpoints on combat are going to beat you because they SHOULD and move on. Your choice...
