Fencer Archive

I think any new weapons with low mind and average health/action will be welcome. I personally would like to see a rapier as an elite weapon. In western civilization real rapiers were the elite, most technologically advanced one hadned weapon, if you were stabbed by a rapier, you would die.Katanas or other asian influenced weapons would be cool as well.

With the Rapier, make it an elite weapon, armor piercing 2, kinetic dmg, high dmg (500), lowHAM and fast. Yes I am asking for a lot, but a master fencer should know where to stick an armored opponent (weak points of the armor). I am asking for it to be the highest dmg fencer weapon, not the highest dmg weapon in game. For balance (not sure how it will work) but rapiers are thrusting weapons, prevent AOE attacks with it, that is where Katanas and batons are useful. Situational weapons will greatly enhance the strategy aspect of the game.

I really like some of the ideas i'm seeing the situational weapons in the last post would be very interesting. I'd like to throw something different this is a one hand weapon style their are numerous other styles other then a fencer. So really any weapon could be used a heavier more damaging sword/axe with some ap would still be nearly as quick as a sleak slender weapon in the hands of a master. Maybe some sort of Hammer/Mace for some Blast Damage or have it enhanced some way so it does electricity, cold, or heat damage. It would be interesting if all of these weapon types where comperable to each other so no one would know what type of damage a individual fencer was doing.

Technically, I don't see why you can not equip 2 weapons (other professions use both hands in there animations). Other games were able to do this. Just code the sword and parrying dagger (or any other wepoan combo you like) as a single item. Thus you can not pick and choose, only a certain combo will work together, that must be crafted as a single item, equiping it equips both from an art perspective, but still only used one set of coding for the stats/attributes of the weapon. Give the item a stat boost like block +10 or what ever the benefit would be. The purpose of weilding two weapons in melee is not dmg, but defense or confusion (never knowing which side the attack will come from). This would require some balance with polearm and 2-h though and unarmed. If we can use two hands, why can't unarmed equip two sets of vibroknucklers? or a 2-h equiping two smaller lighter true swords? Or a polearm using the bow (two short staffs). May require us, 2-h and polearm to be renamed/defined. 1-h being the light weapons, 2-h being heavier weapons, and polearms being non bladed weaponsor staff weapons.

Retract all 2-H statements above, lol. 2-H weapons are 2-H because they are too massive to be weilded effeciently as a 1-h weapon. Also, with the bow (short staffs) they are used in more of a 1-h sword style, so I guess the pikeman would be fine also how tehy are. So the only classes that could benefit would be pistoleers, fencers and TKM.

Here is my opinion:

1) Lower HAM cost! Like one previous post said, we are supposed to be fast and precise killers, not get incapped swinging our swords/batons. TK's are precise killing machines with little/no HAM cost.. not saying we should be that low but lower than what it is now.

2) New Swords: Such as a vibro-rapier, vibro-long sword, as well as vibro-sabers. Why all the vibro?? Well, since there appears to be a pattern of one-hand weps not doing the heavy dam that others have, and how we have only 2 state effect changing skills (blind and dizzy) why not have more of an option for armor peircing?

im thinking we should 2 duel swords both help backwords. And allow tailors to make sheaths for them to go on ur back. When these r equiped u go from a lame fencer (even thougth fencer in this game rox) to mor eof a ninja.

certification should either be master or finesse 4
