Fencer Archive

what are some good tatics/strategies when fighting as a fencer, either against other players, pets, or monsters, such as what special moves would you use, how you would get up close to a ranged attacker, etc.

This could be a long topic, but i'll keep it short and general and let you figure out the finer points.

As a fencer in pvp, stealth and Line of Sight(LoS) are your best friend. A ranged opponent will kill you easily if you cant get into melee range without him seeing you. Use walls, terrain or anything else you can to keep him from seeing you before you attack.

In PvE(environment) use intimidate when fighting harder creatures. It slows down their attacks which will let you live longer. Warcry is usefull at times also. It momentarily stuns the target so it misses one or more rounds of attack.

Agains humanoid NPC's, such as imperials or thugs/thieves and other such scum, use combos like one hand lunge and one hand dizzy to knock them down, or a lung with one hand hit for a chance of increased damage because of the position change.

Experiment as you fight, you'll find that fencers can be extremely formidable when fighting on their own terms.

The TKA can knock down things in PvE, which lets them take on about 3 reds at once no prob. do we ever get to do that?

Thanks for your input Eureni. Would anyone else like post their thoughts/comments?
