Thread: What is your preferred weapon?

Hi all,


I'm just getting started in the Fencer prof and bought a very nice, well-sliced, curved sword. It's damage is higher and speed is about equivalent, to weapons requiring higher certs. Once I get novice, should I invest in a stun baton? or keep my sword? (wish I'd gotten the stats before I logged this afternoon).


And if you play on Chilastra, who do you buy your weapons from?


TIA

U want to use Stun baton for stun damage, ie if people are wearing composite or using a PSG


use a ganderifi baton for max kinetic damage


a good damage sliced curved or ryyk blade can be good in pve and in ubuffed/no comp pvp

personally i use a nice sliced rancor curved sword for most situations. i have an ackley stun baton that i use for PvP. but finding opponants that are not protected against stun is getting harder and harder...


i would use a gaderiffi baton. (i have a good damage sliced one that does a lot more damage than my sword.) but i am not a club wielder. i am a fencer. i would rather use a sword and do less damage. it is a style issue really...

Check the mobs resist u are fighting ,alot of stuff is vuln to stun,if u got a nice stun baton,use that no doubt,ull be using ur stun baton in most of ur pvp cuz almost everyone wears comp.So if u plan to keep fencer..definately save up and invest in a nice akley stun baton.

I have a question that I can just as well ask in this thread:


I PvP (new verb?) with TKM and unarmored, I've had severalfriends using stunbattons against me but they only hit for about 11 points of damage (mitigated to -1 by PSG and synthsteak afterwards), if this is normal I really don't see a reason to use one even if your opponent is wearing non-stun composite.

Maybe I should add that he was stunned and intimidated within 3s that the duel began, but still it seemed rediculous when I checked my combat chat.

Most people fighting another brawer will be intimidated within 3 seconds of starting a fight. And once we are intimidated, yes we do almost no damage with our stun baton. I noticed this the other day when I tried out a little pvp. ( I don't do a lot, but a little every once in a while) It's very discouraging. Anyone have another idea of a weapon or way that we can do more damage? The only people I can do ANY damage to is ranged professions.

We pikeman would love to get DOT pikes replaced in the nightsister loottables by nightsister vibromotors this would allow you guys to get much better vibroblades (but would also make roomfor hugely powerful vibroknucklers).


Maybe try to get some Nym's motors into a vibroblade and see what happens.

I reserve my Stun Baton for heavily armored opponents or mob's with stun vulnerability. Most the rest of the time I use my Gaffi Sticj to whap them upside the head.
