Thread: Need help deciding skills
Between those two choices, personally, I would recommend Techniques over Stances. The reason is BodyHit2. BodyHit2 will carry you pretty well through most of the Fencer tree as your dominant attack. It's a guaranteed hit against the Health Pool which means you aren't wasting attacks. Get a low ham VB to be able to spam it (after you have bled and blinded if it's a big ham target).
It worked very well for me, and I noticed a marked difference in how fast I could take down a target. As far as specials go, BodyHits are the most efficient use of HAM after HealthHits.

"Thrust if you love Fencers!"
good idea but it depends also on your race... if you hare a trandosh or wookie then you can prolly get away with an adv gaffi or if your a doctor 
but otherswise bodyhit2 is nice for the precision attacking.
