Ok, let me lay day my characters exact situation.
I am a human fencer. The fencer skills I have are footwork 3 and finesse 2. No other combat skills besides that.My stats are 700/700/400 health 700/700/400 action and 700/600/500 mind. My other skills are novice medic for stimm b's and master scout with ranger tracking 3(my eventuall goal is to master fencer and ranger with novice medic)
I have a suit of 74% resist kinetic ubese armor that I wear. I am grinding out of the Imp outpost on dant.
Here is my question. I have 2 weapons, which should I be using(please not, this is only until footwork 4, when I get that I will be definitely using the gaffi stick)
A 2.4 speed, 94-219 damage ryyk blade is my first weapon.
The other is a 3.5 speed 163-279 gaffi stick.
Both of these are sliced.
My question is, which one of these should I be using while grinding from footwork 3 to 4? Also what type of missions should I be doing to grind? I have been doingreguler 5k pay quenker missions to grind my exp. Should I move up to savage quenker lairs to grind to footwork 4?

Use the Gaffi. Do the Savage Quenkers.
I've never liked the Ryyk Blade. The HAM costs and large damage range are very unattractive to me. The higher speed just means I'd kill myself faster than I would using the Gaffi. With Footwork 2 (which I believe is where the other speed bonus in Footwork is) you should be hitting at least once every 2 seconds with hit2 with a 3.5 speed weapon. That's plenty against a target with only 4k HAM; you'll be killing them in 6 seconds or so.

I also noticed the small HAM mind cost on the gaffi. Would I be able to spam specials if I buffed my health and action secondaries?

Yeah spamming specials is not a problem if your buffed, heck i spammed specials with a 116 health special cost hammer when i was a swordsman.
You might need some kind of mind food from time to time though.

I use the stun baton on quenkers, they are vunerable to stun after all and have 35% kinetic resist otherwise.

Mine is max dmg 167 (with slice) and I think 2,5 speed. Dont know if it is good or not, but I like it also I am RPing a stormtrooper so Stun Batoon is the only one for me..
