Fencer Archive

Just kidding .......... I am a pikemen already and I enjoy the punishment.... I was just wondering, how does fencer damage compare to the other melee classes?

auto-attacks, we're probably the lowest. but we hit more often. and we're faster (until master level). so we probably outdamage you.

with various other tactics we can be quite effective. but generally, a fencer is doomed to lose most battles until near mastery. granted, you pikes have it even worse. it'll be nice when you get fixed so that we can have some duels and know where you and we stand against each other. until then, as a previously less-than-functional class, we applaud your dedication.

hell, i've thought about taking up a pike just because i respect you guys so much. i literally have heard 0 complaints about your situation that wasn't humorous and self-deprecating. someday, guys.... someday.

Hum. Not in the subjectline but I would have to say Swordsman.

I'm trying various random classes to try and unlock my FS slot, and I'm working on the Brawler skills now. Not grinding but actually having some fun too. All of the Melee skills do good damage. Witth Fencer being fast, Pikeman being slower but with tons of damage, but I like the middle of the road. Always have. That's why I loved Carbines.

But the best aspect that I can see with Swordsman is that for PvP our target damage (mind) can't be healed. So we can put on a mind bleed (dida duelyesterday and got a 432 point mind bleedin PvP mind you) and 2 of my next4 MInd hits landed and he was almost down.

Havn't tried Fencer yet or Pikeman but they are on my list of things to do. Right now it's master brawler with Swordsman. Next is Fencer then Pikemen if they have it fixed by then if not TKA is nice I hear.

Actually, Combat Medics can heal mind. It just costs them mind wounds. However, you are right, a swordsman with a good hammer or cleaver can deal HUGE damage quickly. Since the targeted pool attack is the mind pool, this does make their PVP playability pretty good.

i duel my 2h sword freind alot... i ban him from using the mind bleed because he lays it for 800 points and i end up with several hundred wilpower wounds.
