strategy. and money to get a really nice baton. for me, if there stun armor is to great and it doesnt look like im doing much damage, ill land as many stats as i can with fencer, including kd/dizzy if i can. then warcry, and swing to my scythe or powerhammer. even though most people have high resists to blast. its a hard call with my template. i usually switch back and forth between trying to work down diff. pools in order to keep them healing and what not. its hard, but it can be done. hard to explain what i do, but it works. iv beaten tkm's, fencers, swordsman/fencer, tkm/doc, (i died do a fencer/pistoller becuase i couldnt hit him) and i almost beat a fencer/rifleman (i only lost becuase i forgot to put on my composit helm, i had my ubese on)

I dont have uber gear so usually if they have decent stun armor and if my Gaffi isnt doing enough damage, ill Dizzy/KD, warcry, and hop on my bike lol. Generally, my only advantage in PvP is that most people dont have Stun armor, but Fencer weapons just dont have enough power to them if a person is wearing 80% Kin, 40% Stun armor. Best bet is to switch targets or high tail it out of there

I personally feel that right now, without DOTs, no one has an advanatage, but I'm maybe too jaded. In a no DOT duel, fencer doesn't deal damage, I just try to keep the person intimidated, blinded and dizzied, posture them down a lot, either healthit and 1h hit3 or scatterhit2and wear their mind down by making them heal. I almost always use the acklay baton, regardless of PSG and stun armor - it will still do as much or more damage than the acklay gaffi, although I usually throw in a couple of hits with the gaffi to check their armor, psg etc. Any battle with a fencer is going to take a long time without dots - with them, even a regular janta knife will end the battle in about half the normal time unless both in the duel have doc in their template.

if they have good stun defense, then i normally switch to tkm(ua3 and a few other tricks can take down most people i fight). and one thinig ive noticed, some duelists use melee1hbodyhit3...dont, as if you use melee1hhit3 you can blind and also more damage aswell as attacking areas which most people dont cover with armour in duels (arms etc) because hit3 attacks everywhere in theory

Whip out my 190 vibroblade and curse SOE dev's for not having any sort decent dps vs. armor.
