Ok, thrilled as hell to get Master Fencer.
Never really got a Master combat profession before, Smuggler was my closest. So, I figure now when I go hunting with my group I can finally keep up...
Well.
I don't know if I haven't learned the ins and outs yet, but compaired to the Teras Kasi masters and Swordsman... I don't feel like I'm very effective. I'm always into PvE, and don't wear much armor and such being part of a RP croud and it seems that the other melee folks are just plain out fighting me. I do like the doge bonus, and I don't get hit very often, but by the time I work the mob down I'm just as damaged as the others.
I'm just looking for some thougts, experiences that others have had. I think this is a great profession, espessially for RP, but can it compete with the PvE of the other melee profs?
Thanks in advance for you opinions.

i guess you can expect some replies telling you fencer = pvp
that said unless you go up against a mob thats weak vs stun and strong vs kinetic/blast
they will always outdamage you

U are right...Fencer can´t deal high amount of damage...TKA, Pike or Sword will outdamage Fencers most of the time...and if i compare both blade-profs(fencer vs. Sword) i can find only 3 good things for fencer: Being spd-capped without SEAs, havin high accuracy and havin some nice def. vs. stats...Looking at Swords i found: High damage, AP2-Weapons, good tanking cause second best toughness with +43(8), best stats for CoB, Counterattack as sec. def. skill....Seems a bit unbalanced for me...

Unfortunately fencer is and has always been weaker in the PVE department due to lack of AP on all but 1 (weak) weaon as far as damage goes. Against the mid-level mobs Fencer is great due to defenses, but he high-level mobs get around your defenses anyway.
At the same time though, with experience on your part you could easily hold you own against any other melee profession in pvp... and with practice beat them.
