Thread: Fencer Class Total Makeover 101 (You should bring this to the DEVS attention Raphyal)
First off, a major problem. Can't get trained in Fencer. Why? Because there are practically NO fencers across all the galaxies! *snickers*
Second..... I find this to be MOST insulting to me. We are FENCERS, we are NOT Swordsmen. I cannot stress enough, how often people would come up to me, looking for Heavy Swordsman training. This is pointless. They need to remove the 'Novice Swordsman' title altogether, and replace it with 'Novice Fencer', which is EXACTLY what we are.
Second, rework our discipline tree titles.... you can only see the word 'Blade' so many times in your tree, before you get disgusted. Here would be a decent rework of it....
Blademaster
Duelist Swordplayer Swashbuckler Bladeweaver
Novice Fencer
Third, please, make us USEFUL in combat. Fencer is the only melee profession, that does not get a knockdown at all. I had to use a lot of skill points, to Master Brawling, just so I could do /unarmedlunge2 and knock people down. And with the 30 second timer in effect, that's even worse. Plus, what is the purpose of /melee1hblind2, and /melee1hspinattack2? They both hit everyone in a circle. And blind them. That was just a waste of a skill block, as far as moves go. They do the EXACT same thing.
