Fencer Archive

you could invent your own template instead of bugging people for theirs.....

Theres some really creative templates out there, all for a variety of purposes, depending on your main goal. I've seen some really creative ones in the past, dabbling all over the place. I'll share mine(work in progress right now).

1)-Actual Template-Master Brawler/Master Fencer/Master Swordsman/Teras Kasi Mystic/Pharmacology III in Medic.

2)-PvE uses. Great PvE template, with Master Fencer you are the ultimate tank, rarely taking damage, but unfortunately not dishing out alot depending on the mob-great in group situations where someone is needed to pull the aggro so you can get the job done. When the heat kicks up and you need to put a dent in your target-switch over to Master Swordsman-the choice for damage dealing in PvE. From Krayts to Nightsister Elders or when you have to kill every last mother **edit**er in the room-except no substitutes . Rounded off with the Teras Kasi Meditation line for ridding yourself of all DOT's(save fire) and healing wounds. Pharm III for stim c's-with a decent +25 injury treatment undershirt you can heal yourself up in combat pretty decently-lifesaver with krayts and other high end creatures.

3)-PvP uses. Fair. With Master Brawler you have alot going for you. You can use Nightsister Lances, a common drop with a variety of poison/disease/fire for landing the initial DOT. Lunge2-20m knockdown with your choice of four weapons, very handy for kiters-even better with Dizzy2 . Of course Swordsman can target the mind pool for straight up damage or bleeds.

4)-Strengths/Weakness. Well if they have Stun armor you are screwed Also this doesnt really dwelve into too much capping of defenses-more of a variety of damage types dealt, with some great healing on the side. Very PvE based template. Can perform well in PvP if you know what you are doing. Its main drawbacks are of course kiters and people with Stun Armor. If they get within 20m of you, you can knock em down, dizzy em, blind em lay down a mind bleed, use a poison/disease/fire lance on em and all sorts of stuff. But Fencers lack of armor piercing is going to hurt you if they are using a PSG/Stun armor combo.

5)-Items to succeed.
PvE-good ol' Gaffi stick, sliced for damage. My personal ones range from 280-300 max damage and seem to work out just fine.
-A good power hammer or Scythe for the high level mobs.
-Stim C's for healing damage and a BE Injury treatment undershirt.

PvP-Stun Baton-Acklay Enchanced is a must, especially if they are prepared to fight you.
-Poison/Disease/Fire Lances/Janta Knives. Great for landing in that initial DOT in PvP. These are both common drops, but the good ones are few and far between. But your template should allow you to kill Jantas and Nightsisters all day long with no problem
-Aforementioned Stim C's and BE shirt.

1)The actual Template

Master Fencer

4/0/0/4 CM

2/0/0/0 Doc

2)PVE uses

Cure all the little status effects and poisons. Anyone with Master Fencer can tank with the immense amount of dodge and armor. If you want to take a rest a nice area heal is always appreciated by team mates.

3)PVP uses

Fencers can deal immense amounts of damage with stun batons. Dizzy and blind are always great to have, especially when your blind attack (Onehanded 3 hits blind 30-40%) is a 5 times multiplier. Scatter hit is so very beautiful/ Lunge has crazy range. Poisons always come on handy especially when you can force a tick of poison by poison...followed by warcry.

4)Strength/Weakness

Not enough doc to heal all status effects or the speed of doc...Can't buff yourself. Crazy dodge stats and nice damage potential. Poisons can take on groups at a time.

5)What items you will need to succeed.

Skill tapes...lots of skill tapes....Venom poisons.....janta poison antidotes...as always armor...stun baton...gaffi...dot weapons always help....state heal packs.....dodge food...brandy...synth steak...accuracy food....and possibley vercuppti.

combat medic and fencer is a bad idea in my oppinion. yes you can poison them but big deal by the time you hit a rifleman with a poison your almost dead and hes 64m away. then he finishes you off. if you wanna pvp go master rifleman master fencer tk meditation. fencer for defense and close combat offense meditate wounds and such and use rifleman when needed.

but then again i support people playing THEIR OWN WAY AND NOT FOLLOWING THE BANDWAGON! so play how you like or modify the suggestion i gave.
