Thread: commando or fencer?
The question im asking is, why would you choose fencer over commando? Why would you think of switching to it?
If we know the reasoning, we can probably help you decide.
Oddly enough, that was a question dangled before me. I started as a rifleman, and took up the sword because not many did, and groups tended to be light on brawlers.
Aweek or soafter valcyn opened, I was a novice fencer and loving it (when combat with binayre pirates was a pitched battle, and this little bothan who stood toe to toe with them was rather funny to the pistoleers and pre-bounty hunters). As time went on, there came the news that commandos were needed to destroy faction bases (looking back, I really wish i hadn't switched over).
As it stands, I'm just shy of master commando, and already working to regain my lost fencer. I can say that I personally have more fun as a 4/4/3/2 brawler (using an unsliced curved sword and a run of the mill vibroblade)than as a 3/4/4/4 commando.
It's personal preference more than anything. Commando isn't a bad class, but it's certainly not for me.
(note: although i might look a master bandwagoneer, I'd already levelled most of the way to commando before I heard they were getting fixed. And I'm returning to fencer, not taking it up because it was fixed
)
way to follow the band wagon
did you bring the nerf bat with you?
I started as a fencer (got to 2/2/1) and ch on the side. A fellow fencer needed the appr. so i dropped the skills so he could teach me again.. but with every skill re-learned, i lost the same amount of exp aswell, costing me therefore double the exp for the skill! Argh.. Went mch then, dropping it right after the new patch comes (so i can keep a badge for it lol) and put my expert commando to master. Right after that i'll do mtka and then finally (here comes the clue to my post here) i will share mtka with fencer skills once again
It was my first love, and will always remain my only true love..

I like the variety in fencer-- to the point that I made a hotkey for bodyhit 1, 2, and 3 just because the animations are different.
I think the most I got in commando was like 2/3/4/2. The only thing I regret about dropping it was that I didn't master it-- if vehicles or mounts were in the game back then, maybe I would have dropped scout to finish it.
Hey,
Why did you choose fencer out of many other profession? Commando isn't a bad prof. You might want to keep that flamethrower and master something else like smuggler or pistoleer. These will complement the fire power with DEF or KD. TKA/Fencer would go really nice with Flamethrower as well. You DoT and you tank till the mob burns to death. BH is a cool prof to do as well.
Don't forget the crafting prof as well. They are fun. ... If you want to complement your combat skills, go for Doctor. Buffs and Heals will make you really hard to kill.
*Shrug* So many choices!
