Fencer Archive

I'm just curious. The name stun baton sounds like it will offer the ability to stun, dizzy and possibly knock down enemies better than a blade and gaffi stick. Is this a weapon that I should definitely consider? I figure it must be something great since you can't have one until you are at least a novice fencer, the rest you can have just be being a one handed brawler...

I would only recommend carrying one if you pvp. It has crappy damage, bad HAM costs, but completely ignores composite armor. So if you find yourself fighting someone in composite, and hitting for jack, whip out the stun baton and give em a jolt.

Just to add a little something, it completely igonores any comosite armor that does not havea stun layer built in. I recently had a complete set of composite made that included stun protection and while the encumberance is horrible, stun damage dealers do pitiful damage to me now.

NOOOooooooo, stun is for pve!

I carry a stun baton, aka "the stupid stick". There’s a slue critters out there with the same weakness to stun that composite armor has. If your tanking in a group your not really using your specials that much anyways. Might as well bypass the monsters armor with regular hits.

I use diffrent weapons depending on the situation, i usaly use my gaffi baton on lairs and strucutres, iuse my vibroblade as default but when im fighting weaker stuff i use my curved sword, i use stun baton for the enemys that have 40% or higher kentic resist and no stun resist and also use it for PVP

OK, now that I see the benefits of a stun baton, what would you consider "good" or "great" stats on one?

check out the new FAQ that raph is going to post, a lot of great informations there. but a good stun baton will be having a max damage of around 131.
