I'm currently 0-1-1-1, and have enough points to go up either the footwork line or the line with BH3 (cant recall the name, technique?) but cant decide.

The footwork line would serve to increase my speed by +20 (speed mod would go from 40 to 60). This would raise my damage pretty significantly since Im not near the cap with speed mods or weapons. However, going up this line provides no other real bonus for another 800k XP till you get to master footwork and HealthHit2, and another +20 speed.

The line with BH 3 would significantly increase the power of specials I have (I currently use Healthhit1 and Bodyhit2 primarily for specials) as the 3.5X damage modifier would be nice. I also get BH3 a full 450k XP sooner than Master Footwork, so it would assit in getting me to master footwork later.

Both havebonuses. Both would assist me in getting the other faster. Footwork would increase my overall damage output in normal combat, BH3 would increase my damage potential to the health pool.

Ugh, if these levels didn't take a week for me to get this would be easy!!! I'm leaning towards footwork, then maybe jumping to the BH3 line, since there is not much to benefit from getting level 3 footwork. So maybe I'll grab the footwork +20, then go up the other tree.

I REALLY would advise footworked.

It feels really good to speed cap on a gaffi stick.

Go up footwork before anything else. I mastered the footwork line before even beginning on the other stuff. Of course I took combat as it came since it's on a different track.

I would recommend Footwork, as it would increase your speed by +45 not just +20, and the Defense V KD and dodge at Master Footwork are great as well.

to be honest i been going up the teqnique(sp?) and footwork line at the same time....

the dodge + CoB modifiers help a lot and so does the speed and bleed in footwork...

im currently a 1/3/3/2 fencer... my next skill will be master footwork for sure... both lines also have defnces at the master skill.... those help a lot(specially aginst TKAs dizzy + kd if your into pvp....)

I got Master Footwork first. That increase in speed allowed me to spam Onehanded Hit2 faster, which of course helped me get very good xp.

Should'vementioned that I did very little soloing. In groups I could get a bigger chunk of the xp. If I soloed I did of course not get more xp but I could kill my prey a little faster

i would advise footwork as well. with master footwork you will be best served with a damage sliced gaffi, be doing about 1800 dmg with 1hand hit 2 every second (or so) and be doing about 1500 point bleeds with 1hand health hit 2.

the best defense is a good offense
