Well I've noticed that many posters on this and the other SWG forums are mainly PVP-centric, that is, concerned with PvP issues.
Alot of the posts are about a certain template being better than that, and certain move combinations and armor setups, as well as buffing, both mind and body.
I myself am more of a PvE Fencer in-game. I could care less for pwning others or ruling pvp battlefields, i'm more interested in wandering across planets, killing tough critters or humanoid NPCs. I gain a nice amount of enjoyment by just doing some of the middle-level caves and fighting Rancors on Dathomir.
Now, I know I can't take on the high level NPCs alone, like NS Elders, Battle Droids, and Krayt Dragons, but I tank like the best of them, and I can help others take them out. Sure, that leaves much to desire, but its all in the name of fun.
I really wish that people would lay off of complaining about PvP issues, because it pains me to read through the cluttered mass of PvP-centric posts just to find a tiny shred of interesting info or relevant topics to my play style.
Well I did notice the massive influx of PvP Fencers lately, mostly due to the bugged ScatterHit2 fiasco. Its sad that this profession's forum, as well as others, can be so rudely invaded by childish individuals looking to lord their immense egos over other individuals in regards to PvP issues.
Well, hopefully with this fix from P9, we can return to normalcy. The BH's will be altered soon with the extra sp sothey will most definitely become the new FOTM (Flavor of the Moment), so they will pretty much suck the FOTM-mongers from Fencer hehe.
Well, i just wanted to post my comments.
Good day

I agree, I'm the same I far prefer PvE to PvP. During the Jedi testing on TC2 I did a bit of it for the rank system and I found it to be boring and usually ended up with both people trying to get Dizzy/KDs on each other.
I do hope that the changes will result in the FOTMers moving away and allowing the true fencers to enjoy their profesion. As to the high end PvE problem our next question for '19 Questions' is about that, hopefully we will get some more info about it then.

Well in the combat revamp, hopefully Fencer will remain a defensive class with medium offense. That is why I like it.
While not uber for PVE, it does appeal to some of us.
Scatter Hit is not the only reason that many "uber wannabees" go fencer for PVP. PVP is the only real place in game that Defense matters so much.
