Thread: Should I become a fencer?
Well its almost decision time for my brawler.
I have been trying to decide where to go once I reach master brawler.
Right now I am sitting at 3/4/4/4. I know I will go TK, thats for sure. Whats in question is what else. Trying to decide between the other 3. For a while I was dead set on pikeman, then I was floating towards heavy swordsman. But now after completing 1h 4, and taking a look at the fencer skills and mods, my choice is unclear.
So my question for all you fencers out there...is it worth it? Right now I am leaning heavily towards fencer rather than the other 2.
Any response will be appreciated...
It would be easy to make a suggestion right now if I knew more about your playslye and goals, and there are several things broken in each othe melee professions... some moreso than others. However, it will not always be this way, and they will all eventually be fixed.
My advice to you is to pick which "style" most appeals to you. If you make a choice right now solely based upon which is currently "the best", you may soon be disappointed if/when that changes.
Personally... I'm partial to Fencers. (Big surprize there, right?)
Well what is drawing me to fencer is from looking at the skill mods, they seem to have a bigger advantage in the defense areas. My main char is a master ranger/rifleman and well the famous 2.5x melee damage multiplier for rifleman has been the bane of many a rifleman.
So to sort of reword what you said...I am not looking for which one is the best, but which one would suit me better.
First I was going for pikeman because back in my beta tester days I was TK novice and was almost to pikeman when they did the final char wipe 2 weeks before retail. So I've always wanted to check that out. 2h sword just seems to have the more powerful attacks where fencer seems to have a speed and defense bonus the others dont have (besides TK I guess which I will have). So basically fencer seems to be what will most help me.
Guess I just talked myself into it huh...

That damage multiplier no longer exists.
WHOA
Are you serious?
Thats pretty **edit** sweet.
I recently moved and have only been able to play while at my friends house until I get my life together at home, so I haven't played my main much since she requires much more time due to being higher level.
That is awesome to know...
BTW I made up my mind...fencer/TK it is :-D
LOL I just have to get through unarmed IV and all my APP for master brawler so I can get to work on novice fencer.
If anyone on starsider needs any teaching please send a tell to schnozz hehehe
I couldn't decide between Swordsman or Pikeman as my secondary profession, so I chose to be a Blademster, Master Swordsman and Master Pikeman. Screw practicality, meet Armsmaster Rosar!
