Fencer Archive

I dont get it, i became a fencer because i guess i felt like bein faster than the other swordsman, but the 2 handed swordsman totally has the upper hand: more weapons, stronger weapons, and some as fast or faster than ours/at the same time strong.

For example: a 2 handed curved sword- 88-263 damage!!!! 2.5 speed!!!!

OMG, is there anything special about fencers that no other profession have???

I have a Ryyk blade that is 76-186 1.9 speed and thats not even sliced.... My one handed hit 2 destoryed a novice 2hander so I think its fair. 2handers cant use their specials ala too much ham costs

You should take some time and look at what skills YOU as a FENCER get, compared to the Heavy swordsman. Im not gonna tell you, cause I think you should learn to research before you post lame things like this.

OH, im sorry darthganjookie, u dont need to answer my question, ur "Too Wise" for me, maybe u shouldnt post a reply, if ur not gonna answer my question, instead criticize, some people dont know that, thats why some people, like people who actually r nice enough to answer a question, although they might think that the question wasnt very good, but answered it anyways, yeah, i did purposely make this sentence incredibly long, just to see what smart remarks darthganjokie makes, @$$wipe!

Sigh, of peoples replies, I believe his was the most informative...

Learn your profession on your own. It'll help you a lot in the long run. Someone could give you a quick answer, but if you aren't interested in learning what you have because someone else has something cool, you're going to find yourself switching professions daily.

As if we need people who get offended for being told that... @$$WIPE!

And yet another Smart@$$

lol. was that necessary?

This is a forum to discuss questions and comments on the fencer profession. His question is completely valid, and doesn't deserve any grief from it. He seeks information, and this is actually the best place to answer this question.

I can't answer your question, because I don't know a lot about the 2hand prof. But I do know that us Fencers have a lot of skills that ad to our speed =) !

I just feel it was approached the wrong way. (Fencers suck compared to 2hand) isn't a good way to open a topic regarding what fencers *do* have.

What we do have is far more defensive ability, so it seems. Doing research now

Well, besides us getting blind and dizzy (2h gets dizzy as well but not until final tiers)...

Breaking down numbers, we get +15 more speed overall than 2 handers, a much higher resist vs posture change and knockdown, and dodge improvements, where swordsmen get counterattack instead, as well as a little more toughness. Fencers also have the advantage of +4 more melee defense. Didnt compare ranged.

I think our resists to blind dizzy stun are higher as well.

Listen bub, its pretty easy to look at what skills you get ingame with the push of a key or too. You can ALSO see what skills EVERY profession gets. I suggst you look under FENCER and notice that we get ALOT of weapon speed under the FOOTWORK category.

I answered your question as best I could at the time, apprently you didnt like the answer and where too lazy to log into the game too see what you get. UNDERSTANDING your class is essential, if you dont do any work yourself, you wont know anything besides what other people tell you. I beleive I was nice enough to give you the information where to find it. Your just a lazy ass who wants easy answers.

Have you heard of the old saying "Give a man a fish, feed him today, TEACH a man to fish, feed him his whole life" I was teaching you to fish, but if you cant fish thats your problem..go hungry.

as it stands right now fencers and tkas are by far the best melee classes. Fencer get more speed, to hit chance, defense, more toughness (its 4 higher,I think), and better specials, that use less ham, weapons that have low ham costs. A 30/65/20 2h curved is LOW special cost. not to mention the 15% dmg increase you guys are gonna get on specials in the next 2 or 3 weeks. Melee classes are gimped, and 2h swords and pikemen are the weakest of the gimps.

Us Fencers don't need to spend money on armor. We look cooler. WE are the ones with more weapons. Our weapons are cheaper. We are quicker. Our HAM cost is ALOT less. Our cost for special moves is ALOT less. I have a sword that's 350 that has only .6less speed than your 30k curved sword. We dodge better. We have Lunge+Dizzy, which is a NEARLY UNBEATABLE combo, I have beaten Swordsman that are much more skilled than me with it. Theres more, but I won't bother since I am hoping you get the point and not call someone who yelled at you for saying Fencers suck a Smart@$$. If your still mad, shutup and go away.
