I'm new to the Fencer tree and was wondering if icould get some help on how i am gonna build him. Heres what i had planned , and it should come out with 0 points left used one of those char builder things).
fencer-master
pistoleer-master
brawler-master
marksman-0/4/0/0
Teras Kasi-0/0/0/3
This gives me over 250 dodge(is there a cap that can't be gone over?) with 56 acuity. 171 mele defense and 111 ranged defense. I got master brawler for the lunge2 , i hear good things about it when combined with the fencer dizzy.
Any info on how i could make this guy better would be great, i want him to be PvE, and PvP, but mostly PvP,
Thanks

I'd just drop Pistoleer 'cept for pistol tech IV and pick up as much medic as possible if I were you. Having two damage professions is redundant in pvp, and in PvE pistoleer and fencer dont really have any major differences so getting rid of pistoleer wouldn't hurt you.
Just my two cents if you're into pvp

All defenses cap at 125 before SEAs and food. So, I personally believe you may have better options for skill point distribution than getting 250 dodge and 171 melee defense, but it's all up to you.
TKA - 0003 increases you already capped melee defense while providing only some benefit with increased ranged defense and defensive acuity. I'd recommend getting 0300 if you really want to supplement with TKA for the inrease in stun, KD, blind, and posture down.
Pistoleer/Fencer- I'd recommend getting 1 of the 2 of these professions, but not both due to the overlap and increases beyond capped defenses.
If you really want to be a fencer, I'd recommend just getting 0030 pistoleer for the state defenses, or maybe up to 1040 in order to cap dodge and get max state defenses. With the extra skill points, you could master TKA, which would provide more status defenses as well as a more rounded melee defense (141, only 16 over cap) and ranged defense (121, closer to the cap).
If you really want to be a pistoleer, I'd suggest getting only 0040 fencer for the state defenses, or 4040 if you want to max melee defenses also and picking up smuggler 0040 for last ditch and feign death, which are invaluable skills to get as a pistoleer and more TKA, such as 4302 in order that you get meditate, force of will, and powerboost as well as more status defenses.
With the combat revamp looming in the fairly near future, all this may be out the window. If I had to choose one of these templates, I'd choose the master brawler/master fencer/master TKA/0030 pistoleer option. Awesome defense, decent offenses, and some pretty cool, unique healing/self-buffing skills from TKA.
