Well, I've been giving some thought to fencer, new to master of it...I've noticed several areas where the profession is lacking and several places where its a bit too powerful. However, the biggest problem I've seen with fencer so far...is the utter lack of any knockdown attack. We do get lunge1 from brawler...but thats barely helpful....I still use it all the time...but only because its the only KD I have...
Well my idea for a new fencer attack is what the title says "Hamstring." Hamstringing an opponent means to use your speed and agility to quickly slice the back of the person legs, effectively cutting their hamstring....this cripples the oponent making them unable to move. In SWG terms....a Knockdown...
I personally think this would be a nice skill to place at the master box, in order to give true fencers, not those that dabble for the defenses, a good knockdown attack.
So I guess post responses...keep it read....I wanna see what others think =)

That or cause hamstring to make the creature/player limp along at half its original movement speed.

That would be a great idea - and putting it at the master box would cut dabblers.

As cool as it seems to master fencers, its a pointless idea. All it is is fencers asking for a KD skill.

Posts like this are one thing ruining what is supposed to be a SKILL-BASED game. If you want a kd pick one up with the profession that offers it. As far as adding the skill to the master box to discourage dabblers, ok, why is it just to discourage dabblers? Dabbling is what this game is all about, and what it was intended to be about.

Claims that we are the "lowest damage class out there" don't hold water when you look at how that stuff is calculated.
Basically, DPS is calculated based on a 100% to-hit ratio. They take X number of hits and divide the total damage by the time it took to do it.
However, with fencers you have to look at it slightly differently. Things MISS us. It's the biggest point of being a fencer, to make things MISS us. Master Fencer, your melee/ranged defense is +74/+69. With COB (+115) your total defense is +189/+184. Things MISS us.
We look at other professions getting in huge hits (3-4k) but against us they are likely to miss those hits, while we've got the accuracy and defenses to do 100% back to them. If someone missed 3/4 hits against you, but that one hit does 1000 pts of damage,everyone screams about that hit. But if we hit them 4/4 and each hit does 500 (total of 2000), who actually does more damage in the long run?

Chaser its easy... because no one wants to be unique in this game they all want what someone else has... suppose we get this hamstring attack or what not... don't you think a pistoleer or tka will cry because they don't have delay attack other than Warcry?
