Thread: Just a question for you fencers from a budding weaponsmith
Could you also post some stats about your main weapon? Speed and damage? I'm just looking for something to compare to. If you're on Bloodfin then that's even better =).
Nah, Gadderfi batons are weapon of choice bay far. (For higher level fencers.)
Mine has stats of:
110 - 210 3.5
51/26/15(Around that ham)
Thats the best ive seen on my server, except i have seen adv gaderffies with more damage, but the hams were just to much. The lower the mind ham the better!
A fencers best friend is a weapon with low HAM costs,
that in mind, my favorite weapon is still the normal sword crafted with adv. sword core. While alot prefer the gaffi stick for the close min-max damage.
If you are targeting fencers, make some rykk blades with crates of 30-35% max damage powerups in a bundle, and some gaffi sticks with Min damage 30-35% damage powerups.
they will sell like hotcakes
also while only really used in PvP the stun baton is very good, also make some min damage powerups for this
Curved sword:
min 80
max 206 ( 26% slice)
spd 2.6
wound 23%

off the top of my head,
i really dont know. however they are comparable to curved swords in damage, lower HAM costs, but are slower.
the good thing about this is, the sword schematic as you know is very little resources. and you could sell these by crates for slices, or what i like to see if weaponsmiths hire out smugglers and have a seperate vendor for sliced weapons.
I'm by far into the good part of Fencer, but so far I've been using a Ryyk blade stats are something like 75-177, low 20s HAM, it is actually one of the better ones I found on my server.
Again, I am just a noob Fencer so this thing might suck bad and I wouldn't know.... it don't matter to me when the Stormies I fight are layin on thier backs anyway...
Gaff stick is best. I found a good weaponsmith on Tat that sells them stock with:
136-226 damage
33.6% wound
3.2 speed
-2/-2/-2
and HAM like 36/46/36
I got a speed slice and knocked it to 2.6
I did have a faster one before I tried to repair it, but it was like 2.4 and the wound was 33.3%, damage was about the same. I paid 15k for it and got a free slice from a friend. I have seen these as low as 3k on the market sliced (usually HAM, i prefer the speed slice).
As for blades, I keep a rykk blade as a backup but have not found one that comes as close to my pipe. My backup does have a 2.2 speed, but damage max at 198, makes my non-special attacks range from 145-380 but the pipe always hits in the 300's with occasional 400's. (fencer 1/2/2/2)
I like using a Gadderfi baton and a dagger (the dagger is for low-damage/highHAM moves like lunge) most prefer vibroblade over a dagger. Stun batons are an important weapon for fencers to have also.
I only have the gaffi stick and stun baton. I only look for max damage and I buy like 10 of them to get them sliced for damage. Out of the 10 I hope that I get one that will be sliced 30+% damage.
My favorite gaffi stick is 265 max damage but I have two 290+ gaffi sticks waiting once that one poofs. My stun baton is only 164 max damage. I used to have a vibroblade but I'm shallow and size matters.
Please experiment on damage only. The rest can go into HAM decrease but damage is main priority.
I have one of each kind of one-handed weapon. I find i like the Gaffi Stick the most but I use the Stun Baton when I come across something that is Vulnerable. I prefer the Curved Sword for PVP because the Chances to hit are better and one miss in PVP can be fatal. Ocasionally I'll use a Vibro Blade due to its Light Armor Piercing. I have a Ryyk but its to hit mods are -10 so i miss more with it and quit using it.
The most useful thing is to either provide Power-ups that reduce ham costs and or if you have the skill points pick up slicing 4 from the smuggler tree and pre slice all your weapons. If i can get a slice where i buy i am more likely to return.
