I'm thinking of Mastering Fencer and Teras Kasi Artist. I was thinking of mastering TKM for the defense. And I was thinking of mastering Fencer for both the defense and for offense. The TKM was just going to be for beefing up my defense. But now I'm wondering what does more damage? Would it be better to use unarmed to fight instead of one-handed?

TKM's do more damage by far but are limited to only 1 damage type, kinetic.

Hi,
I tried dueling with a TKM/MFencer unarmored ... few days back when I was still a TKM/MFencer/MSwordsman.
My opponent was using TK skills and I did normal fencer stuffs. He completely outdamaged me and took out all my mind in no time flat. I think a TK is an excellent dueler if fighting unarmored. Which is the case while fighting jedi.

TKM is an all around great profession. It's not neccessarily the best at either pve or pvp, but it does them both well. Its the most versatile combat profession in the game.

By reading various posts, I've gathered that if your opponent has no armor, TK is best. But if your opponent has armor, Fencer is best for its Stun Baton. Is this true?

Dou know anyone who´s not wearing armor in battle/pvp? ok, a friendly one....there is no one-in-all solution for winning a duel...each time its a new situation....best thing is to know the pros and cons of your prof and act like that!

A TK with their unarmed toughness + Stun armor + Shield Gen is very frustrating to a fencer, even a fencer with a decent acklay baton. Especially if the TK is also a Master Brawler and has the extra skill mods plus intimidate2, which is incredibly useful.
Generally, a fencer will win in PVP but smart TKs with good equipment can destroy a fencer.

not if the fencer knows his profession very well (and maybe has doctor) 
And yes they can be frustrating

Agreed. Going on with that, it depends on how experienced the people you are PvPing with are. Just because one is master doesn't mean one can rely on skills alone. Armor, and all the buffs play a huge role in PvP, but it depends on how you use them most.

I use to be a TKM with Master Fencer - until recently.... TKM was great - the main problem is this.. You only get kinetic damage ... With armour that has become high resist to Kinetic damage... High end mobs that are 100% resist to kinetic damage you end up not being able to do to much.. I found I ended up using Fencer a lot more then TKM in the long run mainly because of the Stun damage.
