I personally love fencer. Its not so great for PvE but for PvP it rocks. I have been master tk and master heavy swords i have dropped both because fencer works so much better for me. We are also getting dual (not duel) weilding soon which is gonna be uber cool.


Pros:

Brillaint speed

Amazing defences

Stun damage

Stackable blinds and bleeds


Cons

No armor pericring weapon


Thats all i can think of



Fighting for the empire 24/7

I been playing SWG for just over a month and dunno what profession i want to do, i been experimenting with things but i jsut end up getting bored with it and not bothering with it any more. Im now trying to go for fencer coz i've heard all this awesome stuff about it, like how their basically TK's with swords, can easily take a TKM in a PvPand have like mega defensive stats and speedetc. andcan do all this awesome stuff, but i just wanna know how much of it is true so i can find out whether its really the thing im looking for, so if you could just post what all fencers can do, what they can take on in battle, their good points, their bad points, just anything you think a noob would need to know really.


Any info greatly appreciated

Thx for speedy reply, so basically fencer isnt too great at PvE but is great at PvP, well that could be a problem coz im not a big fan of PvP and do lots of missions, is this going to be a problem? I was alsothinking of getting armorsmith and weaponsmith aswell as fencer but am having second thoughts, would this be a wise move? i mean i wud b able to make my own armor n weapons but im not sure whether i wud really need them.

fencersare not the major damage dealers, but we can basically kill anything. Some stuff jsut take longer than others.


Fencers are good in pve if thats what your asking but rock more in pvp.

Fencers do fine in PvE against everthing that isn't a high end mob. Unless the high end mob is vulnerable to stun, then we still do find.



In normal PvE you will never need armor as a master, and lets not forget all the cool looking animations for our specials. I have yet to see a group of specials that look as good as ours.

fencer is imo good for PvE aswell as PvP

and we do have an AP weapon most folks simply dont use: the vibroblade

made of HQ resources, enhanced with loot-motors PLUS a decent slice and a powerup makes the vibroblade VERY nice!
and they have ultra low HAM cost too. give the VB a chance hehe

Thx for help guys, so as a master fencer i wont need armor so there isnt going to be much point in being an armorsmith. Also one last problem, my range modifiers on all weapons suck, the best i can get is -6, thats with an adv curved sword. the only way i can get in the plus' is by using my stone kife lol. is this to do with my species or skill or something? or is it just something that all fencers go through? im a human working towards one-handed IV.

You mean the stats on the weapon are like:


-1@ 0m


-1@ 2m


-1@ 3m


Or that when you attack a creature at melee a little "-7" appears next to its title?


If it's the second case, don't worry about it, happens most of the time levelling brawler trees.
