I am a human master fencer who has fiddled with his HAM im 400 in the first 6 then 1100 for mind 1100 for focus and 800 willpower.
Now to play effectively I always have to get a buff and have some muon and canape. But seeing as I am now a master does anyone have suggestions on what I could set my HAM now so that I can fight pve without a buff? Should I just go back to the default human HAM or are there some other theories out there?

Cheers.

Mind damage is still king - I personally think your current HAM setup is the only way to go if you're at all into PVP. Changing your HAM would be damaging yourself. Novice medic can heal all other damage except for mind damage, so no one even tries to hurt HA except with fire dot weapons or after they have you kd'd.

Focus determines how much each special costs per attack, whereas willpower determines how fast you regenerate after you've lost mind. If your mind is already going, you're on your way to dying imo. As a riflemen/fencer, I'm used to high HAM costs, but I believe common logic is it's better to not lose any mind in the first place than it is totry to regenerate it quickly. Pretty standard HAM is 400's then 1100/1100/800 mind. Fencer specials do cost less, but you will takeless damage per tick from a mind dot andless damage per hit from a headhit/mindhit if you have higher focus.
