Fencer Archive

I'm a Master Doc Master CM Novice Rifle. With the new patch I'm thinking of dropping CM and trying fencer.

Are there many Doc Fencers? Does it work well?

Does Fencer go very well with Novice rifle? Perhaps I should drop and get pistol for 4 stackable health bleeds?

Im a doc/fencer, it works really well. SinceI dont wear armor and have nasty HAM, heals and muon gold are what keep me alive most of the time.

Also, any master surgeons are instantly invited to almost any group on any planet. Whee.

if i where you id keep novice rifle just incanse.... fencer is a fun class and right now im working on master medic... i can tell you one thing... fencer + medic/doc = good combo

i tried CH + fencer and well..... i dunno gues im not a fan of CH

id say ecpeirment with fencer and look at what you can do... who knows... maybe a CM + fencer would be a good combo?

yes, master fencer/master doctor is a VERY good combination considering fencers have some good defense boosts that give you enough time to heal yourself.

i don't know about the rifle/fencer combination, i've never heard anyone talk of being one. however, pistol/fencer is supposed to be good.

Yes. Good stuff. I'm a master doctor/fencer 0201. I find this a good combo. I am having fun. I am finally getting fast!

depends...I have a friend who was a Master Fencer and pretty far in the Doctor tree; who was still unsatisifed w/ the results.

Note: he PvP's alot..so his comments were more or less based on PVP.

Im Master Doc and Fencer 0-4-1-2. Enjoying every moment of it...havent decided whether armor is beneficial to me or not though...spamming specials eats my mind real quick with armor on (everything else is buffed).

Works like a charm, at least in pve vs animals, not as well agins things with rnaged attacks. However here is an intersting storry. I was out on dath hunting kam defeilers solo no pets though i have ch. I was buffed which is why i am droping ch for doc. I currently use stim c's and am fencer 4 4 1 3 with 900k exp in onehanded will hit master tonight. Here is the story,

My mission spawned aoout 30 m from anohther goups, there group was one ch/pislotl, one rifle, and one commando. and eitehr the rifle or the commando had pets because there was one mauler and two gsp's They messed up and drew aggrobefore their pets did to make a long story short they got ripped to shreds in seconds, mean while iwas fighting two defilers, when the pistol guy got agrroed he ran like a little school girl right at me so ofcource i got his aggro and now i am fighting 3 at once lukilly one gsp was still on him so i kind of had help as 3 is a bit much. Anyways i am rambling but my point is that depending on what you hunt melee is unbeatable as long as you are buffed oh and last but definatly not least you HAVE to be master brawler for warcry 2 other wise none of the abovematters

Sorry if i am ramblling but i am so tired of getting kited that when being melee pays off i want to jump up and down.

I'm a rifleman/fencer! I'm still novice at both, but I still find it to be a good combination, though a challenging one. The range of a rifle (typically 60m or so) and the ability to go prone and thus be "unnoticed" for a bit gives mea chance to knock an enemy's pool down a bit, then when they start to charge I stand up, grab my sword, and hack away.

The problem is that it's practically impossible to hit anything close with a rifle, so you're either sniping or in melee, there's no in between and generally no escape (unless you can burst run before you're HAMs are too low )

I still find it fun. Helps to travel with a medic though.
