I made novice fencer the other day. I had enough combat xp saved up to go up to 0/0/0/2 right off the bat. I then ground out about 200k xp, and now cant decide what box to get first.
I first thought I would go up footwork first, to get the weapon speed. but you dont get the good boost till footwork 2. in techniques 1 though, I get 1h body hit 2. up to this point, I have been using 1h melee 2. it works great, and i get about 1300 damage out of it. but it is random ham. so it can take forever to bring a mob down. body hit 1 only does about 400-500 damage for me.
Will it make my grind go a lot faster if I get the first box of techniques for body hit 2, then work up the other trees, or is speed that much more important?
Also, I am a master pistoleer, so I have dodge darn near capped. so I dont have to worry about that.
is body hit 2 worth it, or should I just stick with going up footwork first, for the CoB mods and speed mods?

The only special you need to grind up the speed tree is the area attack you get in 1h swords 4 from brawler. Using area attacks is the best way to get fencer xp, at aroundnovice I was killing crazy geos. I don't know if I could have done it at novice so you might just want to try jantas, they get you around 35k a mission and they're vulnerable to kinetic which makes things much faster. So yeah, go up the speed tree first. When you get 1h spin attack 2 it'll go a lot faster.

OK, If people want to grind...they are allowed to grind. OK?? See,when people buythis game, they pay a monthly fee to play it. So therefore, Ifthey want to spendthere whole time grinding, they have a right to do so. Its there game. Get over it and get a life. If whatsomeone elsedoes in this gamebothers you that bad, you need to seek help. OK...uuum...yeah...riiiight.

Footwork, all the way.
If your master pistolierre, you probaly dont have much (if any) money issues, so armor is np.
Go footwork 4 first, and since you already have dodge, immediatly go the Stances/Grips line next. (Dizzy2 is a BETTER AREA ATTACK then spin2)
Once you get footwork 4, migrate completly to damage sliced gaffi sticks (3.4-3.5 speed)
