Fencer Archive

I started the Fencer profession about 3 weeks ago, and no, its not a holo thing. Since I startedfencer I've been visiting the forums like I normally do with all the professions I've chosen. Unfortunately, the majority of the topics Ive seen so far is people comparing what is the uber template or what goes with Fencer to make an uber template? This begs the question how many of you fencers are pure fencer? I mean how many arefencers butnot mixed with Master Brawler or Master TKA? I find it very difficult to understand yet alone ask the Dev's to change a profession when most of the people are not using the skills in the profession. For example I hear alot about KD, well I've searched high and low and correct me if I'm wrong but fencers do not have a KD.

Perhaps you feel you are being treated unfairly? ...Darth Vader

Master Brawler has a 20 Meter KD for all the different melee professions. It also has a 20 second delay, intimidate 2, and berserk 2, plus some little things like small skill mods. I myself am going for master fencer, master brawler, and master rifleman. I dunno how good that will be, but it will just look cool. That and the rifle specials are nifty.Oh, if you comine the KD from master brawler and warcry2, you can get a 20 second KD

Very nifty IMO.

I guess I didn't really understand yore question though.

If I just want to power through some missions I typically will power boost before hand,lunge for knockdown,warcry, and then Body Hit till dead, and then can heal back the HAM I lose instead of sitting down waiting for it to regenerate. For the missions I can get solo mobs die fast that way and the faster they die the more missions I can do. I don't think that makes me uber but it makes my play time enjoyable.

Before the Imperial Crackdown I had no thoughts on my templates geared towards PvP but since that is now in place I can't help but think a bit about gearing my skills to best help me survive there as well. Honestly if it were up to me I would never have a TEF but I just don't care much for PvPer action at this point but I certainly don't want to be sitting in a Cantina somewhere and get an unwanted TEF because of the crackdown and not be able to stand the best chance possible against IMP's "camping" the cantina or whatever.

I'm taking up Swordsman now as well just for the pure fact that I can use a Power Hammer for the blast damage. Would I have done this before the Crackdown? Probably not but I want to feel like I can stand a chance against anything or anyone.

So my thoughts for my template decisions are:

1. What will make my life easier and the game more enjoyable

2.What things do I need to have to feel a "comfort" level of survival against any adversary

Even with all the other skills I have I still use alot of my Fencer abilities.

For instance I like to go to Endor and do Mantrigue Screecher missions with a buddy of mine who has no medic abilities. I kill with my Fencer abilities but if I didn't have Meditate I would still probably quickly die from the poison/disease(can't remember which line it is) that they do. With Meditate I can get rid of the poison and heal back any wounds it causes. To me this has nothing to do with being "uber" but just allows me to do more in the game that I wouldn't be able to do if I was a "pure" Fencer.

Well, I'm a fencer who's mixed with... er... chef.

Not actually. SInce I had a bunch of skill points to play with whileI bashed away at chef, I mastered brawler to help with the progress of Fencer.

I believeI will wind up dropping m. brawler in favor of TK 2/0/0/0, thus letting me keep scout 2/0/1/0 and novice medic once I master fencer and chef.
