Hey all...I'm a TKM/Doc/CM looking to drop CM and pick up another melee prof...debating on Swordsman/Pikeman/Fencer. TKM's really lack in AP...took me the better part of 20mins to take out 1 Crystal Hunter. :-\ So I'm looking for a melee prof with decent AP. Please drop me a line.

Thanks!

For PVE I would suggest swordsman, it's relatively easy to level, as with the rest of them minus pikeman, and has armor peircing but I dont think fencer has much if any of that.

Fencers have only one AP1 weapon the Vibroblade, its damage is similar to a VK but with lower HAM, however we don't get the massive mod to damage that TKAs get. If you are wanting to switch from TK to something with higher damage and AP than you would be better off with Swordsman, most of their weapons are AP2.

There is also a "black steel" Gaffi Baton you can get as a Tuskan Loot drop that has AP1. It's stats are quite lower than a normal Gaffi however. Close to a Vibroblade but higher HAM costs. I've been hoping to hear that someone looted one with better stats but it seems pretty consistant to be crappy.

Finally realized CM isn't easy street eh? Seriously though, TKM has damage mods the profession dont have. AP is only good vs. the upper scale npc's who have armor. Against one who has no armor the AP is worthless as you get no damage bonus. Swordsman is great for pvp AND pve since the specials do some decent damage and you can still lay headhits in pvp to reduce the unhealable blue bar like you did as a CM. Pikemen are excellent and can lay out some serious damage. I'd say choose between the pike and fencer but keep TKM. Powerboost, kd/dizzy, attacks to any stats, along with alot of good defenses, and meditation skill. Besides, whats the point of masters many melee professions? Choose one as your main and keep the rest for their specials and defenses.
