Okay I was told that if you are a master fencer and you grab the Teras Kasi percision striking tree (X-X-X-4) you recieve a defense acuity bonus of +71 from that tree. And I heard thatin PvP witha stun baton equipped and center of being macro on, the defense acuity from TKreally enhances your dodge and you get hit alot less. I also read the big defense post and I am still clueless (The post by Raphyl). Can anyone confirm if defense acuity is stackable with fencer? Am I just wasting my time getting combat exp for the TK tree?

defense acuity makes you hit more not evade more and it is broken so you are better off taking.....
0400 or 4000

actually defensive acuity increases your chance to react to an attack with a dodge, counterattack or block and as far as i am aware it certainly does stack with the dodge bonuses from fencer.
Saying that the meditative line of TK is easily one of the best PvP lines in the game simply for Force of Will. If you are lucky it can bring you back up to full health. Also the ability to cure poison/disease and to med your own wounds away makes it more than worth the sp.

I've heard that the defense acuity is a TK defense only and applies to teras kasi only and does not stack..(only applies if you are unarmed or have a VK out) and I also hear that it does...
I was wondering..a stun baton is classified as a "melee weapon" and so is a vibro kunckler...does equipping a stun baton, being the same exact classifcation of weapon as a vibronkuckler trigger that TK Defense Acuity?

In case any of you are confused, by classification of "melee weapon" I don't mean like "melee" and "ranged" kind of way...If you go to a vendor and click "One Handed Melee Weapon" you won't find a stun baton there, you have to look at the "Melee Weapon" catagory..the same catagory vibroknucklers are under..so the system classifies vibroknucklers and stun batons as the same type of "melee" weapon.
And if the defenses are activated when any generic rifle / polearm is equipped or 2 handed sword / carbine are equipped, then I suppose any "melee" weapon such as a vibronkuckler or stun baton would activate the Defense Acuity mod if you had it?

I've heard from players in game that theres a huge difference playing with the TK Tree..and they've told me that the abilitity innately affects your natural defenses... Then I've heard it's activated by Unarmed or TK Equip... I wish they would publish some kind of all informative combat guide and talk about this stuff.

The only benefits a Fencer will see from TK 0-0-0-4 would be the high amount of Ranged/Melee defense from that line (only stacks to +125). Defensive acuity does not stack and does nothing unless you are unarmed (or have VK equipped).
