Fencer Archive

WHat type of sword would you like to see put in? I know there is talk about addind a sword, but which sword would you like SoE to add?

Me I think if we got to weild 2 Rapiers. I think a Rapier is a perfect fencing weapon.


You thought's?

How about adding a sword already existing in the SW universe? A vibrosword (not blade), or perhaps an energy sword simialar to a lightsaber (superheated filament that does heat dmg). Either way give it light or medium armor piercing and some other dmg than kinetic (heat, electricity, cold, energy).

Add a power-up that applies poison, make the poison craftable by combat medics. Great idea.

Step 2: Watch as everyone cries exploit because the posion ticks for 800+

Actually powerups would be a brilliant way to ensure that you could last in most fights, they'd be limited use like all powerups but with different effects and based in a sci-fi context you could pretty much bypass any real explanation of how they work. Let's face it nobody asks how exactly a power hammer does blast damage.

Great idea mate, if these was introduced i would definately i use them, may be more for pvp though, as most of the mobs i fight have quite high ham so a poison would not be of great effect (unless it ticked for like 300 - 500 a go).

How about the "flaming sword" that Matt Damon referenced in Dogma in his role as the Angel of Death! Any sword that would allow me to rain down sulpher and slaughter the first-born of Dantooine without inflicting serious damage to my HAM bar is something I'd like to have in my hand(s).

I suggest a sword with a monofilament edge..while this should be AR mediumor heavy I would be happy with it being like AR light and doing blast damage and if not blast damage then heat damage.

Also what about adding any of the weapons found in KOTOR like the sith ceremonial vibrosword.

Also I know the idea of whips was brought up a while back. A vibro whip that does like acid or energy damage would be cool too.

I mean right now all I have ever used is a gadeffi and a stun baton cause they are the only two fencer weaposn worth a damn. The curved sword and rantok sword are too low in damage compared to the gadeffi and the vibrobaldw hile AR1 the damage range for it is horrible.

Also I love the idea of powerups that can do poison or disease damage.

I would also like to see the Bile Drenched Rancor teeth you can get as an award from Jabba's paalce cahnged so they had a disease dot to weapons crafted with them.

Not to belittle my fiery sword idea, but I'd like to see ourselves be able to more or less customize our own weapons. To be able to buy different interchangale parts that you can mix and match dependent on the situation would allow greater flexibility within the field. If you havehilts with certain modifiers and then some interchangable sword cores and blades, all capable ofcreating different types of chaos, then you could become pretty independent as a player. That's the kind of thing that slots in armor are for, but in a different context. Therefore, the type of weapon you could ultimately create is not so much dependent on one weaponsmith, but the capabilites of several. If one guy makes truly wicked hilts but so/so blades, the you would compromise the overall effectivity of the weapon, whereas if one guy makes wicked hilts and another guy makes wicked blades, then you could assemble them and make a wicked sword. Adds a bit of a puzzle aspect to the profession. He who has the baddest weapon overall looked the hardest to find the right parts for it.
