Fencer Archive

I'm looking for a combat class to complement my Doctor skills. I've currently got pistoleer skills but I wanted to try something different. There's plenty of Teras Kasi / Docs out there, but I don't see many fencers. Just wanted to get some advice and insight on this class.

How are the special attacks? How does the class compare with the 2H sword line and the other melee classes?

Which tree should be completed first?

Thanks for the help!

The best thing to becoming a good fencer is a Master Doc cert. Believe you me, you'll be glad you have all those med skills. Self-buffs are incredible. Poison and Disease heals are now critical. (Sentry Hermit Spiders on Naboo give you XP very fast, if you can kill them faster than they spawn.)

Most folks seem to think that speed is everything. That's a near perfect argument. That's the Footwork tree, I think.

My opinion: get the bleed first. I think that's on the footwork tree (convenient, eh?). Bleeds make ALL the difference. That also puts you on the path towards more speed.

I used to be a pistoleer. A solo pistoleer is a melee class with a gun. That being the case, I just switched to fencer and have been having a good time ever since. But I do keep around a gun, for those critters that like running away before they die. (It's those fleeing critters that make you happy that you're bleeding them.)

Fencer/Doc here....its the bomb. PvE the world is your oyster.....PvP you are tougher than most meleer's, I highly recommend it.

Doctor/Fencer can be absolutly cruel in Duels ( especially same faction Overt duels )

here is an example

• onehandlunge1


• dizzy


• onehandlunge2 ( if he didnt fall )


• /pause 5


• warcry 2


• /pause 8

here is the cruel part

• /healstate ( to opponent )


• dizzy


• onehandlunge2


• /pause 8


• warcry 2


• /pause 5

and repeat over and over. lol not fullproof but I was able to do this to a smuggler friend and duel lasted 5 minutes of him not being able to do anything at all.
