Well, I joined Fencer because of the Sith Holocron. At first it was a force feeding of dirt. My recommendation is to do the footwork tree 1st. I did 0/0/1/0 just to get some extra dodge. After footwork 4 things get very good even though you get little more than an improved bleed, a tad of dodge and a ton of speed. I came str8 over to fencer from commando so i can imagine what you will feel as you progress.


#1- Kiting. Even the NPCs will do it, ive had to chase NPCs so far from their base before that it respawns the mission. even with lvl 4 in everything but trapping in scout they outrun me. Thats why i recommend a lunge/dizzy right off the bat.


#2- Working your way around Armor- You will soon realize that fencer is strictly PvE and a distracting class. The only thing i know of with AP is the AP-Light VibroBlade. It pays off on warlords. The stun baton is almost worthless against even the smallest % of resisted armor. ALWAYS BRING BACKUP. You can last a LONG time in a fight with a good set of buffs, armor and brandy, but in the end your best move may be to invite a sniper to PvP with you.


#3- Top Enemies of the Class- TK,Combat Medic,Swordsman, and Pistoleer. Rifleman can be a pain too but much less so because they can do little if you run into a building. TK will probably be your biggest enemy because of extreme accuracy that kills your dodge, huge speed and damage as well as knock down- a feat only master brawler/fencers can do.


Overall its a GREAT class to do PvE. The dodge keeps wounds light and fatigue low. The speed and damage of a near master- master is almost that of a TK with the Gaffi Stick. If you plan on targeting a PvP opponent you may choose, Pikeman, Rifleman, Carbineer, MAYBE combat medic if you have the element of surprise, Bounty Hunter, and maybe Commando.


A word of advice before attacking a commando- at least be buffed and brandied. Commandoes dont often survive unless they get a direct hit on you or flame you and burst run. Even if the primary damage of a flamer gets dodged it WILL DOT you causing great wounds and most certain death if you are unbuffed or lacking good medic skills.



Hope this helps some, I may have gotten some things wrong or missed others. GL.

Not strictly pve. I've held my own in pvp all by myself and won.I'm not a master yet either. It's better than you think.

dont worry about the lack of jedi man, combine fencer with some other melee profs and you can tank jedi for fellow bh's

i just got novice fencer the other day. And all i can say is that itsslow..... atleast right now. I'm 0/1/0/3 (started out with 300k combat xp banked). Seems to take awhile to get xp only fighting npcs, which are a pain anyway cause they run away. Fort tusken is a good place to go, but its camped to ungodly hell, atleast on my server. Then you have the kill stealing asshats that gimp your xp. I'm using a 290 gaffi stick and i'm very unimpressed with the damage. Sure i can do nearly 2k when they're kd'd, granted they don't have kinetic res or ap1. And the stun baton... ugh, 40 mind ham is the best i've found, coupled with the terrible dmg. If i could find a half-decent ackley one i'd drop the cash in a heart beat, but none of the weaponsmiths seem to have them on vendors.
