Fencer Archive

I have a question I would like to bring up with the Fencing community. This is not a Nerf Cry or a Whine on any part to the Fencer Profession or the Fencer community. As a former Fencer as well as a Pikeman Swordsman, Brawler, TeraKasi Artist I feel there is a serious issue at hand. This thread is based on a series of events pending the Melee/Ranged Defenses Revamp.

After several instances both in Pvp and Duels against Fencers post patch I noticed a serious lack of Accuracy with my weapons both Melee and Ranged. Due to my Holocron I have been unable to keep Fencer and thus did not realize the major changes that took place after the Patch until recently Say mid December. Currently I have 150 Unarmed Accuracy with out Clothing Skill Attachments. With my Pistol I am currently at 85 Pistol Accuracy. Yesterday I dueled a Master Fencer. He Cob'ed and I Challenged. Being a Master Brawler I started the Duel off with a Warcry2. Quickly landing this i the added a Intimidate 2 and a Unarmed Blind to the Combat Spam. After 4 misses with Unarmed Blind I switched to my Fwg5 and proceeded to spamming my Health Shot Macro (consiting of Health Shot 1 and 2). I missed my first 3 shots and while he evaded the next 2 with Dodge they landed ignoring his secondary defenses.

With him now bleeding I felt fairly sure of my Victory being imminent so I quickly switched back to my VibroKnucklers landed another warycry2 and quickly punched in a Unarmed KnockDown 2. The attack missed twice. Upon my third try he went down but the dizzy did not stick. The warcry timer being over and his life ticking down due to bleeds he quickly popped a heal and was back at full life. Next he proceeded to attack me with both of his Fencer Bleeds a warcry of his own and a Dizzy. All 3 of these went through my 90+ Melee Defenses. Being warcried i could do nothing but run away trying to avoid his attacks. After a quick posture change on me i foolishy stayed knelt and tried in vain to Body Shot 2 him in hopes I could get him down far enough to land in a lucky LastDitch shot. Need less to say he dodged 2 out of my 3 shots and then his ranged defenses protected against the LD. He closed in and used OneHanded Hit 3 on me 3 times quickly incapping me.

The point of this thread is not to whine or cry nerf. I am just wondering how much accuracy you feel should be neccesary to land consecutive hits on a Fencer Master or even hope to scratch a Fencer Terakasi Defensive template? With 150 Accuracy I feel I should be more than capable of landing 50% of my hits in Regardless of his Dodge/Primary Defensive Skill. Your thanks is much appreciated as I am extremely bothered by the fact that Fencer atm imo seems untouchable when Coupled with Terakasi/Swordsman/Pikeman Defenses.

Umm ...

What's your skill levels anyways? You sound like you are aTKM. ... I think you have donesomething wrong ...One example being bleeding health with ... a pistol? Especially when you can use stims. ... I could understand doing mind bleed with a two handed curved sword orBH bleedthough.

Probably this opponent had cross-classed to get massive def against state-attacks and KDs. I think you just messed with a wrong guy.

You could probably kill me fairly easily ... but then I have +7 ranged defense from ... master dancer!
