I don't think there's a single answer for this question. I use a variety of weapons based on the situation. I use a curved sword as my primary weapon. It does good damage and great speed. I use it probably 80% of the time. I have a small standard dagger thatI use for effect specials (i.e. Dizzy, Blind, etc.) where damage doesn't matter, but I would like to save on HAM costs of the moves. I also carry a vibroblade for it's armor piercing abilities. I've been looking for one of the new stun batons to try out and see if I can fit that into my selection of weapons.

The viroblade is very nice. I like it.

I use a dagger, sword, or viroblade. Since you can only get a few swords, from what I saw in the skill lists, you might as well have all five or six of them...

If there is more, I am sorry for the wrong information.

What does the Rantok Sword look like?

Remember the weapon raphael's weapon Sai's from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles... thats what a Rantok blade looks like. Its a good weapon if your totally starting out fencer class, but I've never seen a good one since people can't craft them.

My favorite weapon set up is:

Curved Sword - 75% time used Speed, Fair damage, Lower Ham cost than most, Amazing accuracy I can have +6 or 0 when I use it.

Ryyk Blade - 25% If I want high damage this is what I use, especially with a power up.

Vibroblade - Never used it, since I can't find anyone who can make a good one.

Stun Baton - 100% (IN PVP ONLY) Why? Mine does only 49-90 damage with 3.1 speed. Add a powerup to that for speed & damage and you have an amazingly fast killing weapon. First off it does STUN damage. To my knowledge there are only 2 things that can have a resistance to stun. Mandelorian armor (spelling?), and Shields. Does Padded have some too? Never used it. I can do up to 150 a hit in PVP using it, more if I use special moves. Only downside. If someone isn't wearing armor its pointless to use.

Rantoksword according to the strategy guide can be the highest damage weapon, but still has no piercing or special damage type. If people could craft these I think they would be used more than ryyk or even curved swords. Anyone know if the rantok sword is meant to be crafted using a special schematic. I remember reading somewhere that the DEV's planned on making special schematics that could be found to make normally not craftable items. Then again thats what the DEV's say.... we all know how that'll end up.

ok so i sarted fencer, and i was looking at the skills and i saw that every level that you gain in the brwler proffsion before you go into the novice fencer u get every box 2 or 3 cirtificates to use new weapons. now i am using a curved sowrd which is pretty good it has min damage 74 and max damage of 174 and its speed is 1.8 soi was wondering is there a better weapon for a fencer then this, by the way i am not talkign about fighting PVP but only PVE so which sword is better, or can i even get a better sword then this one.

tnks.

P.S.

i stared fencer yesterday and i have today allready onehanded4 so i can pretty much useall the swords that a fencer can use.

The best weapon is the Stun Baton...which is utterly RETARDED. Can these people (a.k.a. Devs) not make more weapons? There are online shooters with more weapons than SWG!

I think that's only part of an answer NovaSpice. It depends on what the mob's resists are. Most fencer's when they work up the footwork tree will default to the Gaffi stick (also refered to as the pimp stick). With the speed bonuses it's initial low speed is negated. But, when you you need AP, they will switch over to the vibroknife. Typically the stun baton isn't used unless the mob has a vulnerability to it, or are fighting someone in composite in PvP. But people are learning and we're seeing more and more composite with stun layers added.

However, there are fencers who really like the Ryyk blade and have gone to great lengths to have weaponsmiths craft them really good ones then add anice damage slice. Typically though, I find the HAM costs on the Ryyk blade a little higher than my tastes... the mind part that is.

So, I don't feel there really is a one 'best weapon' for a fencer. It's situational.

^^ agreed, except that i have found stun baton particularly useless since most of the creatures i would require a switch to SB to kill have an armor of medium or something crazy, which if youve read the previous posts, youd know that SB cannot go through natural armor, maybe it was fixed...anyone?

Learn how armor works. Once you know that, you will know which weapon is best against a creature. (There is no BEST, only USEFUL.)

I concur with the previous posters that there is no best weapon. Depends on the situation. Any fencer that only uses one weapon all the time hasn't finished studying the ways of combat in this game.

If the armor is vulnerable to stun damage, it goes right through. The only stipulation is that AP values are not factored into the damage.

E.G. - Jawa Rifle - stun damage, AP1, 100-200 damage

Mob armor - medium armor, high resists, vulnerability - stun

The Jawa will punch right through the resists and armor rating, doing the full amount of damage, but the extra 25% damage from the AP1 will not be given in this case.
