Thread: master fencer + master pistoleer > everything
dont cry nerf on tka's! melees gotta stick together, i say nerf flamethrowers back to the stoneage ![]()
then after FT, lets nerf LLC! or better yet get them nerfed at the same time! then once they are good and nerfed,WE will rule the streets!
Hmm, very interesting. I'm still just a novice fencer. I've tried using CoB a few times. At lower levels, it lasts for only a few seconds and gobbles a lot of mind pool. I'd given up on using it as it hurt me more than it helped. I guess at higher levels, it is quite a different story. Since I'm a master pistoleer, I guess I'll dodge a hell of a lot more than other novice swordsmen out there typically do. Funny thing is, that I never recalldodging once through all of my one-handed brawler experience. It is pretty hard to miss the animation too. So, does dodge only get turned on forfencers at novice fencer, even if they already have dodge modifiers from pistol? It sure seems like it.

you may be right as just a master pistoleer.
however, all master fencer/master pistoleers will change to their 1-handed weapon AND put on CoB if attacked by a melee opponent. and yes, you can attack while you dodge. so these are the possible scenarios: you fight a ranged guy, you pull out your pistol,dodge most of hisshotsWHILE you are attacking. you win. another scenario: you're fighting a melee opponent. you start withyour pistol and get a few hits off to begin with, switch to your 1-handed weapon when the opponent gets close, slap on CoB, and the opponent willalmost neverhit you. you win.
therefore, the only way to counter this would be taking up both master fencer and master pistoleer, and like i've said, this makes one (unless you count the swordsman/carbineer and pikeman/rifleman)template that will always win.
