Fencer Archive

here's my opinion on dual-swords:

if we should have it, the sword in our off hand should be used primarily for defense, not for attacking. with this, the secondary swords could have some kind ofadded stats (such as skillx+x or def vs. x+x) instead of a damage amount. another advantage of this is that the devs would probably not have to change nearly as much since our offhand wouldn't be as active. if the offhand weapon is used for attacks, every single fencer attack would have to be redone. my main point is that the pride of the fencer profession comes from its defense, and although people have spoken out against our inability to output large amounts of damage, i personally became a fencer for its finesse and flexibilityat the cost of less damageandif i becamea2-hander it would befor its heavy hitsat the cost of defense.

It would be kind of nice if the 1h curver sword, Vibro Blade,and Rykk(sp)blade just had better stats. I am somewhat partial to the look of them.It always kind of bugged me that the bent pipe (Gaffi - Certed low in the brawler tree) is so much better then the actual blades.

give the one handed curved sword dmg around or a little bit better then a Gaffi and i would be happy i agree with most posters that a bent pipe looks rely stupid. Or maybe the devs wanted us to be 1980's street punks with knives and pipes with our tka freinds brass knuckes to back us up

wow this post was started a long time ago

haha im stupid, was looking at registered date

Ok a black gaffi staick with silver tips

what do ya think?

I was thinking something in the order of different versions of each weapon. While statistically they don't have to be different but for example:

short sword= Could be customized into a gladius, standard shortsword, Jian, longsword...

Curved sword= Katana, Ninja-to, wakazashi etc etc etc...

Vibroblade= Vibrodagger(current skin.), VIbro blade(about the size of a short sword.), Vibro sword(long sword length.)

Stun baton= Standard stun tipped stun baton(current), KotOR stun baton(See threw stun baton with the electrical effects shining through casing.) Taser(technically same princepal as a stun baton but smaller with a visible electrical arc between the prong tips.)

Gaffi sticks= Standard gaffis. Ghetto , homemade weaponry(baseball bats, crowbars Whatever you want to throw on the freakin thing.)

Dual Wielding=A combo of weapons a person would like to use to their personal preference. Although some weapons should be concidered unable to be dual wielded with. The way the system could work is that when dual wielding, your accuracy and speed goes down a bit to compensate for having 2 weapons at once. Although the 1 weapon=2 visual weapons would be easier to implement as seen in PSO.

Dual Wielding in practice:In dual wielding your off hand(unless a specific parrying weapon is used.) is usually used for offence. It's closer to your opponent, faster, lighter and more precise but usually your off-hand isn't as strong so it's used to do quick strikes to weaken your opponent so you may get a decisive strike with your main weapon.

These are only suggestions and ideas though and I'm personally curious what you all think about them.

if we impliment duel weild, i think the animations need to be kinda like in that movie the mask of zoro, when he's fighting off the guards and picks up 2 rapiers and is lunging and using both. he leavs himself open occasionally, but has cool looking moves and can effectivly handle 2 or more people. so make it more damage and keep the dodge the same and make accuracy lower.

Give in to the powers of the dark side, true strength lies within ones ability to channel hatred into a deady weapon

This idea is not going to bevery popular I think, but anyway -

Abandon swords, give them all to the Swordsmen. I'd like to see more KNIVES, DAGGERS and CLUBS.

The broken bottle.

The switchblade.

The survival knife.

The dagger.

The Kukri.

etc etc.
