Fencer Archive

Hi. I'm currently working my way upbrawler to become a fencer. I've got a pretty good gaderiffi baton and curved sword. The gaffi-stick's average damage is 85 points higher, but the sword's wound percent is over twice that of the baton. Speeds are roughly equal. Which one do you guys think is better for PVP and which one for PVE? What are your reasons? Here are the stats:

Gaderiffi Baton: Spd: 3.5, Dam: 172-292, Wnd: 32.9%, H:60, A:37, M:18

Curved Sword: Spd: 3.8, Dam: 46-247, Wnd: 67.9%, H:30, A: 51, M:47

I appreciate any input. Thanks.

are you sure the Curved Sword isn't 2.8 speed? I've never seen one that high.

Anyway, I chose not to use a curved sword much because of the high HAM costs.

My Gaffi is 303 max dmg 3.4 spd and I use a power up for applying most bleeds, unless they are high Kinetic Resist.

I use a Vibroblade 57-194 max 2.6 spd for most of my spam dmg unless I have all stats buffs and some foods around.

To me, I found in both PvP and PvE that the higher cost HAM of some of the swords causes me to hrt myself more than my opponent does.

I've only been a Master for a few days, so I hope some of the more experienced post also.

Did you read the FAQ? I learned alot there also.

Get a stun Baton for PvP

Yep stun Baton for pvp. All player armor is valuable to stun damage. Armorsmith can add stun protection as an option but a lot don’t.

Oops vulnerable not valuable

Thanks for the information. I would never have thought of a stun baton, because they appear to have pretty weak stats.

Okay, time to fess up fella's: Just what good is stun? I mean, what benifit does it give you when attacking?

I'm a Brawler/Scout/Medic/Markswoman/Businesswoman *freaking Holo's* that is thinking of CH and CM to compliment my Fencer or Pikewoman specialty skill..... eventually that is. I know. I know.... I'll have to drop something to get CM, etc...

Just made 1H edge IV and was thinking of either going Fencer or Polearm. After reading this thread I may just go fencer.

Lance 3.2 speed and 102-245 damage

Curved Sword at 2.1 speed and I thik 75-173 damage (have to double check that when I get home)

DL-44 at 1.8 speed 105-178 damage w/poison enhancement (don't ask, it was a gift to me) are my main weapons. Though I did find a really nice rifle off a delinquent before I had to go to work.

Stuns just a type of damage like kinetic or heat.

The reason its useful is because just about everything is vunerable to stun damage. So it actually does more damage in the end than your super gaffi stick does to alot of things.

I read somewhere that the "Stunned" effect removes a round of combat from you. Then again, I might be way off and hallucinating.

er.. as i understood the weapons FAQ.... the stun baton HAS NO STUN EFFECT... it was simply a type of damage that ignored armor and that most beings are vulnerable too....

Before I finished footwork, I really liked stun baton, because i was lucky to get a speed slice and a 33% speed powerup, dropping that bad boy down to 1.5 speed, which was ridiculous. It was nice, because it was fast, but with more footwork trained up, it became less useful compared to gaffi stick's damage producing madness.

I still use it to stun animals, storm troopers ,and droids though.
