Hi, I'm a blademaster on eclipse (I've done 19 professions and up until now fencer has been one of my favorites).


Now with bleeds gone, fencer is very underpowered for a melee class. I've been using bleeds to level other combat professions and keeping fencer the whole time. Now there's no point to keep it anymore.


I'm very disappointed with this patch in general. They didn't seem to do anything at all but nerf everything(hoorah for chef).


Well, anyway. Yeah that's it.

So you're mad cause you're no longer getting XP for a weapon you didn't do the damage with?

No. I'm mad because I can't bleed for 2000+ damage anymore.

WHAT WAS SO WRONG WITH THAT!!! GRRR.


Why do devs nerf everything! They make this game worse every month. I can't stand it.

Aside from dodge, bleeds were really all fencer had going for it. I mean, that's why I got it for cryin' out loud. I dropped TKM for it.

its not underpowered take into account the amount of hits that dont make contact with you these lower dmg bleed's just mean combat is longer

armour wont last as long though am i right ?

obviously you don't realize what they are trying to simulate by lowering this bleed damage, though yes i agree its low (at least what i've read need to play before i can make judgement) the dev's are trying to show that when you hit someone for a bleed their defenses are taken into account.


Its the same as saying a man with kevlar on, we'll say, is standing still butyou try to stab himwith your handly little knife.... yeah thats not gonna happen easily.


This FIX is to relate that to your weapons. I will look more into this later this evening to see how my bleeds are affected when i get in game but i think its fair. (just a shock after being able to deal so much dmg before) Also I stand by my statement that the decrese was drastic and sudden, if we had a corrispondant we could have addressed this issue properly while in testing.

Haha. This game is a simulation! Woot.

This game now simulates real life, including kevlar.

Fencer is still a great class, I never depended on bleeds to do anything, since they are gone it wil just make combat last a few minutes longer than before. I do most of my damage to them with bodyhit2 anyway

Well.. see, it's actually good that chamges like this occur. If you feel that dodge and bleed are the only things that Fencer has "going for it" - you obviously aren't cut out to be a Fencer.



Happy Commandoing! (Or Bounty Huntering... or TKMering..... or whatever other profession you find has more going for it than Fencer)

Well, as a fencer, you got just as nerfed as swordsman and pikeman. (in truth swordsman got hit hardest, since we have no status affecting attacks, we depended on bleeds to end a fight quickly) In essense the DEVS made tka more powerful.



So fencers will own swordsman even more than they used too, swordsman will still own pikemen, and TKA will be making us eat grass faster than ever.





"So I swoop upon the foe, and I will slay,
I will hew them into pieces, I will dash them into dust;
Like Baal in his strength, on their rearward, lo! I fell,
And I killed them, none escaped me, and I slew, and slew, and slew."
