Fencer Archive

I reached novice fencer and tried all the weapons. I was soo excited to see some cool slicing animations. But instead i'm clubbing things. Sigh.

Same reason the "Best" swordsman weapon (and it actually is the best here, in the vast majority of circumstances) is a hammer: the Devs don't care.

The best fencing weapon is our Gaderiffi baton aka Pimp Stick...

There is no best weapon, each weapon has an advantage and a disadvantage. If u havea hammer I can knock u down easy because u attack so slow. The stun works good on people with composite like a knife goin through butter, stun works real good then, u can do alot of this in pvp raids. Also my Ryyk has takena master fencer even though he has a vibroblade, which is supposed to be our best because of how fast it can go with our natural modifiers, not using specials in combat basically. Also a curved is good for its speed and damage, it can almost get the damage of a ryyk but doesnt have its low range modifiers.

Man I thought I patented the name Pimp Stick... lol

u can knock me down easy cause i use a hammer? i attack 1/second with a hammer at master swordsmen with a damage slice :/ and the cap is 1/per second so im not slow

In reality the reason *I* can Duel and win against a Master Heavy Swordsman when they use their hammer is cause the hammer never hits me.

If they switch to a 2handed Curved Sword or Cleaver (cleaver is less effective) then they come close to or can beat me.

The devs just desided to call this profession fencer to be sylish, it really covers anyone-handed melee weapon. So don't be surpise when whips, foils, maces, and non-chucks are added. the same is true for swordsmen and pikemen.

yah in reality "Fencer" is a misnomer, Especially considering our animations and attack names.

Hi,

I swap between a vibroblade and a "pimp stick" (I like to call it a ghetto-baton ... nowhere close to remind me of pimping.)

The ghetto-baton is excellent when bleeding or killing weak mobs. I use it to demolish structures as well. Very low cost and very high damage. No other weapon can get as high damage at the ghetto-baton right now (Yeah Dev better fix it. But for now,I can live with it.) Speed isn't much of concern for those who finished the speed tier. So I wouldn't even look at curved sword or Ryyk blade anymore.

A good vibroblade is excellent for fighting for longetivity. For most of us, our mobs will not die in one hit. We have to bleed them or to pound them as many times as possible. To survive, we must have our mobs blind/dizzy-ed at all time. Conveniently the butterknife is really fast and have very low HAM. It's the best thing when you have to dish out specials. Damage is a problem with this knife since I can only deal 1000-3000 per hit with Hit3. However, AP makes it good enough to use.

Additionally, I use a stun baton as well, but very rarely since it's damage is too low and HAM cost is too high. I don't like it also because I use it because I HAVE TO. It is a must for any armored target with high kinetic resists. (Oh yeah, and this isn't a blade; it's stun gun. So much for style.)

Generally, you will see me use a vibroblade 80% if the time. Depending on needs, I swap to gaffi baton or stun baton.

I personaly like my 1.5speed 73-163 dmg curved sword... so **edit** fast... literly no pause between attacks, i'll probably use stun baton agenst certain creatures and in PVP but myweaponof choice is always that curved sword.

I've been calling it "Pimp Cane" since they first released those advanced power cores...

Please make a weapon available at a level 4 fencer skill that is a BLADE and does better damage than the stick.
