Thread: Question about fencers and swordsmen

I am a master fencer and master swordsman.
Why is it when I'm equiped with 2-handed melee weapon I have more speed accuracy and more melee defence?
I just added master swordsman to my tempplate. It suprises me the the bigger blade is faster then fencing blades.
I wondered this my self but whatI realized is if that Swordsman really isn't that fast Fencer simply adds alot of general melee speed. While swordsman addsmore weapon speed (to be fast without fencer0 while fencer focuses on general melee speed, making it more useful inyour overall template.If you drop fencer you will find that your swordsman's speed has dropped alot.
Granted I still think that fencer should be faster then SM even when you have both.

Correct this is also why people were seeing an "armor hole" when switching from One-Handed to unarmed or other brawler professions.
