Hi

I'm grinding out fencer and need some advice.

Current stats Fencer 0-3-0-1, Master Marksman, Brawler 4-4-0-0, Novice Pistoleer, Novice Rifle, smattering of other skills.

I have a full set of Ubese Armor 80% kin resist ( I believe)

Have Gad Baton and Stun Baton ( both above average in marketplace for damage and speed)

I get 2100-2300 buffs for 3.5 hours

I use synth steak and air cakes

Drink 2 brandies

and use Muon whenever needed.

I'm using Spin1 mostly, with meleehit1 or 2 for stragglers.

Currently, hunting on Dantooine and killing all Wild nests.

HOWEVER, it seems that my Mind bar just can't keep up. I never die do to health or action bar, but the darn mind bar. Is there anything I should do better? I know that if I rest between each nest it returns slowly, but is there a way to increase the maximum xp return between rests? Should I be using some other special attacks or different food/spices?

I'm contemplating adjusting my HAM bars but I already have this heavily slanted toward mind. If this should be adjusted, can you please provide you toon HAM profiles?

Thanks

All advice appreciated!

Hello,

My bars are as following for a human character.

Health:
400 - 400 - 400
Action:
400 - 400 - 400
Mind:
1000 - 996 - 1000

With this setup its like haveing a brandy or two already. The only problem is that you always need a buff but I have never really logged on before without one. this setup works awesome for me andI rarely die frommind anymore.

My HAMs are as followed:

Health 650/500/400

Action 650/600/400

Mind 1100/600/500

I'm a bothan and use powerboost to give me a mind of 1650. I find that my mind gets hit, but it is hardly a problem with 2 brandies and these HAMs. If you are still having problems, you might want to try Ahrissa (sp?). It's food that gives you around 400 focus for 40 minutes. Since this is food, it stacks with the brandies. After 2 brandies and 1 Ahrissa, your mind costs should be almost zero. Hope that helps.

For just PvE, you can use Canape to offset the HAM costof your special moves. You won't take that much damage wearing that type of armor anyway to worry about the extra dodge and Synthsteak. Fencer's draw heavily from the mind pool for specials so you're basically killing yourself, it's not the creatures killing you. Don't worry about Muon. You can get Canape up to 600+ at 33 filling. That means you can eat 3 at a time. I usually only eat 2 though and eat one a little later on to try to balance the stomach filling. After about +1500 mind secondaries, you will no longer have to worry about HAM costs.

If you've got good buffs you really don't need a full suit of armor equipped for PvE grinding. I only used Ubese gloves and pants to grind to Master Fencer and it only took a couple of days. If you don't wear a full suit and especiall a helm then your mind won't even move. The only things you need a full suit for are PvP and high level mobs like Nightsisters and stuff like that.

Assuming your smart and are always buffed in your Red and Green..all you need is your Focus to be 1500 (Thats 1500 Over the encumbrance your armor) and specials are free

If your just PvE throw on a Ubese jacket and your fine

I don't wear ANY clothes when Im grinding money as a fencer...It funny standing inbetween 5 Mokks Naked..Yes i Do take Some damage but my regteneration is Insane buffed and Naked..try it..dont be scared..and keep CoB going of course...Im twilek so max unbuffed focus can only be 500 my Uber Helm is 321 Encumbrance (Which you dont need in PvE anyway) and if theres not a Master MUSICAIN around and I plan on being around Hunting, then I just live off of brandy/canepe

Even if my focus is down to 1300 a special only costs like 3-20 Mind....and by the time im off my swoop at the next lair, Im at 100 percent......

Cycle your brandy like me Assuming your brandy is 40 min duration set an alarm under CNTL+O for 19 min and click the recurring box

your stomach will be at a constant 80 percent filling and be under the influence of 3 brandies at all times....try it you'll see 19 minutes trust me

just start the cycle 19 min before you plan on actually fighting (PvE that is)

Thanks Everyone! Excellent advise!

I was experimenting last night and located a couple problems I was doing. First was the food I was using (now corrected), was getting musician and dancer buffs (BUT now from a master) and then the biggest mistake of all....I was forgetting to use COB =(

I managed to make these few adjustments and rocket up the XP chart last night. Going to try to remove some of the armor next and migrate stats a bit. To be honest, it just feels wrong not to have armour on when you have 6-9 MOB's trying to kill you. I'll give ita try.

Again, THANK YOU all for assistance and tips.

Canapes good......but that Ahrisa's some darn nice stuff too. Either way you go theres many combos to get that focus up. Mind ticks should be a thing of the past.

Ifyou're using a stun baton pve it'll hit your mind a lot harder than any gaffi.

Gaffi's arepretty easy on your mind and specials shouldnt take up more than 10-12 mind cost
