Fencer Archive

i can only learn one full line of fencer e.g all of the footwork or all ofstances and grips etc, but which one is the best, im a TKM and a looking to be able to fight bigger and better things in PvE

well they are all pretty good I would have to say footwork... you get much faster and a lotta good defense mods. go for it

I would also say Footwork, followed by Technique if you can or are willing.

well used to be foot work hands down. However with the dodge bonuses in techiniques it pretty close and comes down to personal preference. Techiniques offers the better defense (dodge) and better standard spammable attacks( body hits), Footwork gives you speed plus knockdown/posture defense plus cob bonuses. It also gives you your bleeds and a mutli hit blind attack.Either lineprovides great benefits but it comes down to the user to which he thinks is best.

I concur that Footwork is the best path if you can only do one. I think it's much more rewarding to master the profession though.

Depends. You say you are a TK and just looking ot support your TK skills? Then look for the line that has skill-mods that stack with what you already have. Footwork is only going to help you if you use One-Handed Weapons. If you in fact are going to use 1handers... then buffing up your tootsies would be the way to go. But if you plan to stick to your Vibroknuckles, I would personally go up the Stances and Grips branch for the Melee Defense and Ranged Defense.
