Fencer Archive

Out of the two, TKA is better. I decided to try fencer for PvE, and I have to admit it's not the best profession out there for PvE. The reason why is the amount of damage done by the weapon.

When fighting a nightsister yesterday, the NS barely touched me, which is nice for the fencer abilities, defense - but the amount of damage done is simply not there. Even though I can solo quite a bit, the time it takes to do it is painfully slow.

yeah but but he only lookin to pve and he already has done swordsman.....

i havent really played with fencer enough to know the damage output on on a range of mobs but tk is pretty good for pve. Fencers make hella good tanks for anything if you have dodge maxed with dodge food and cob going though.

If i compare m-fencer and m-sword - being both right now - swordman will hit much harder...with 0-2-1-0 u will do more dmgthan amaster fencer + u have a weapon with blast along with AP2...Fencer has max. AP1...Sure it is a very nice profession and a fencer could tank better than tka´s can do but if u are not grouped and wanne do f.e. NS u have a long time to go to take it down...an other thing to mention is that some critters are only vun to energy and blast...

To be on topic...

If u realy want to drop swordsman and the only choice is tka or fencer...go for tka if u mainly PvE...

btw. Why the hell doing not m-fencer/swords?

definitley tka.

Two of my reasons, the big ones, for picking Fencer as a profession was two fold. The first reason is due to the fact that i already played swordsman. The second, and even most important, is the fact that I needed dodge. Even as a master swordsman, you can tank nice but not *that* nice. In other words, you can deal a lot of damage, but anything that takes quite a few hits to take down you'll be dead quickly if a wookie without armor/buffs. Since I'm also a ranger, it's important to consider picking a profession in which I can do OK in as far as surviving on my own. No, maybe I'm not the most powerful, but when I can solo soloed-group quenker missions and get hit maybe 1/2 times throughout the entire mission, I begin to smile. I hope dodge works just as well agaisnt something like a rancor later in the game.

But...if you have the money, armor, buffs all the time, tons of food, shield gens, and some magic, swordsman for a wookie is totally possible. I hated having to have my alternate character, a master armorsmith, repairing a set of armor after 3 hours of use every time I was finished hunting gurrecks. This was when I was a BH, and was dealing 5.5k damage per shot using llc2.

Fencer is nice, I enjoy it quite a bit now. I'm tempted to take off my armor now that everything misses so much.

oh please dont drop swordsman for PvE !!! fencer just cant damage in PvE it is a fun proffesion but too tough to get a good vibroblade << think thats the one with AP << and going against any of the higher lvl mobs in this game it seems to take forever soooo uhh i vote for TKA it is great in pvp ecspecially after tons of fighting you can heal you wounds in a minute also if something gets the best of you force of will comes in handy and also one of the nicer things is you can buff yourself quickly and fight with out VKs for those times you dont feel like searching for a doc or when your stuck in the middle of dath hmm another thing if you like to use unarmed3 as your special of choice and you get one pool down you can focus on it with a special that specificly targets that pool oh and i love knockdown2!! well im sure i missed lots but thats how i feel hope it helps

its not the dmg output of fencing weapons that makes it not very useful in pve, its the armor piercing. in fact for easier mobs and creatures i think fencer is better as you do almost 1-1.5k dmg every second. for example if by pve you mean doing easy stuff on dantooine or endor you will enjoy fencer much more as those mobs dont have very high armor rating. swordsman only shows its potential when fighting high end mobs.
