Patience is the key here. maybe the combat balance will bring fencer back on top.
Someone else said that they had a 200 max black gaffi, that is the best i have heard of sadly. most of them i have seen or heard of have vibroblade damage(i.e 50/150ish) and are slower. I personally think that the main problem with fencer is lack of control shots. we have scatter shot that hits a little bit of mind but fencer is about precision, we should get a action shot, a mind shot and a health shot. the ability to bleed each. tk has controlled shot like that except for the action shot. that is my suggestion though

Hey This is my first time in this fourm and i have a problem.. i believe that we as fencers ought to have a mind shot or a head hit.. stun just isnt enough have the people i duel ever use stun.. big problem.. but if we just threw in a mind hit i think we would be all good.

Ive been thinking of ways to fix this game since launch and I think I found the best one, if a little extreme;
WIPE THE GAME CLEAN!
Everything. Insane armor, Insane templates, insane weapons, insane lack of difficulty
in PvE.
However, give bonuses to those who have advanced/high level characters. Think something the lines of this.
"Youve mastered three professions, and are an accomplished PvPer. You get 50% kenetic armor instead of 20%."(just an example of what I think the new limits should be).

Can I ask one question. Why is this Black Metal Gaffi kept so secret. Does anyone feel like we do not need an AP weapon. My entire giuld goes into the DWB and the Corvette. I am useless in helping. I can only tank and even then I am terrible.
I watch this Fencer forumn, anyone know why it is so slow?

you have the logic of a 5 year old. . . .
I don't see how he lacks logic.. .but you obviously want to start a flame war, so.. here it goes
"A5 year old has better logic than you . . . "

Anyone who says fencer is totally ineffective in PvP is f-ing retarded.

Did I say totaly ineffective? hmm Ill have to reword that. We can status effect/last forever...however, in a game that presently is a solo friendly enviorment, rather then a Multi player friendly enviorment there is a major lack of effectivness.
My point is a straight up Fencer/Doc needs to be helped by others, where as other proffessions can rely on there own power. But what is the point of lasting longer then everything else..when your commrads are dead within two hits. Unless of course you have an Uber baton or a 500 mind fire...
I dont even bother fighting now, I just try and status effect the enemy and heal my group of poisons/diseases/dizzy ect ect.
But hopefully the combat revamp fixes O so much.

the talk about getting an AP1 weapon brings back some memories.
a while back i remember everybody going nuts over riflemen's AP3 abilities and it seemed like half the classes were chomping at the bit for an upgrade to AP3. here you guys are wanting AP1. i think that just goes to show that maybe you do need another weapon. or maybe, just give the gaffi stick ap1.
im about to start grinding out master fencer. i want the stun damage and the defenses to go with my soon to be TKM status. i really hope the combat ballance does the trick.
