Fencer Archive

I did a quick search but didn't find what I was looking for exactly.

Now I know that a lot of people hate dabblers for some reason, but I think that it is a great part of SWG. On one of my chars I am thinking about making a high defensive swordsman. It won't be as high as I would like though, since I plan on taking novice medic and exploration 4 (will lose about 60 meleed from that). In the end I should have 155 dodge, 129 MeleeD, and 110 Counterattack with Master Swordsman.

To get this, I will have to dabbler in Fencer and Pistoleer, so I need to know if the +Dodge will work with a Swordsman. Since it doesn't say +fencer dodge I think it is just a generic overall defense. I read a post here that stated it only worked with pistols and fencing weapons though, so I just want to be certain.
