Fencer Archive

Okies so a guildy were duel'n last night for kicks.I'm 4424 fencer, he's 1111 tka ( or something like that, no KD yet ). Been doing this off and on since we started grinding these profs. Nothing to note as far as stats go beyond that cause he's alsoworking ID and misc other stuffand i have master ch and misc other stuff. Both pretty full. Each time it's been very close - but he usually takes me. This time we sparred best two outta three. NO BUFFS - NO HEALS

He took me in the first two again. A mind incap on first, health on second. Mind u they were both close but I suspect he could have done it every time...

both wearing no armor but I had some stat clothes that took my melee defence up to 83+ - which I doubt he could afford or know how to get... I've alsolong since migrated stats to help slow spam burn.

Both time I used COB, started with dizzy and health 2, spammed hit2. Weap was decent Gaf. Each match lasted a round 8-9 secs.

Did I do something wrong? He was still hitting me for like 150s. Grated he prob didn't even have a decent knucklers knowing this chap.

So when I come up against amaster TKA - should I just drop to the ground and wait for DB???? I wouldn't do that but seems like I don't matter much in duels....

Ok,

First of all Your Tactics are all Wrong..


Do This:

/Center
Blind
Dizzy
And Posture Change until it sticks!When he stand up from his kneeeling position he may fall down, and once hes down, make sure to keep throwing dizzies on him and keep his ass down, and if he gets up, throw another posture change on him. You get these skills in teh brawler line of the tree

also he will be having ALOT of trouble hitting you as you are centered and he is blind.

Thats what you should be doing...
and you should be using Health Hit 1 and 2 TOGETHER as they stack for double damage.

and then while he is down eating dirt spam your health hit...

but dont be just standing there like an ass...use ur specials, knock his ass down and whoop on him solid...

Now you have the tools my son, go use them!

Rezael. Smarter then the Average Fencer.

by the way,

master brawler, and you want to be lethal? the lunge you get with master brawler is 20 meters range and knocksdown very consistantly, with a dizzy on someone they wont get up.

Oh and one last whine.....sure if I just sit there an don't fight back,he might have incap'd himself...heh, but, fighting back is the fun right?Who in the world would wanna play pure meatshield??? MOBs are same way - as long as u don't fight u can pretty much tank and pick up new aggro now and then with spin. Don't forget to heal yourself once a min ( a little exaggeration but not much ).Buffs or spice helps for solo but not needed in groups - in fact I think I got docs buffs ONCE so far and died immediately on first mission from mind spam and avort kiss. U can't get xp without killing something - which seems pretty silly for this class considering what it is meant to be. As soon as I group up - whooom no xp for me. So this has been a long grind for me - over aweek so far ( and I play half the day ).

( last reply was wrong post - ignore - nother thread )

ok so your saying get master brawler or some different class brawler line to do KD? Why? I'm talking bout class vs class - maybe I wasn't clear. A low-level TKA can take a High level Fencer in 8 secs. NO?Just asking, I though I heard fence was worth something, but if KD is the end all of everything, why not just get some KD and Fanshot?. He'll be getting KD soon enough at any rate - at which point we've already decided that its prob over then.

I acutally like helping the guild out in hunting as meatshield ( is a decent thing to have in a guild ) butcertainly tooshallowactivity to keep- would like to think fencer would be decent in other aspects of the game. If not, and hearing the defence mods, no longer stack without a weapon. Even a CH can do other things besides having meatshields.

Plain and simple - should a 4434 pure fencer be able to take a 1111 pure TKA?

Use scatter hit 2.

k will try scatterhit2 - thanks haven't really paid that nuff attention

soon as u spam a move its when u go wrong. This is how i duel blind 2/healthhit2/intimidate/healthhit1 if im not intimdated yet i use a bodyhit 3 or 1handed hit 3 then i save my ham and just use normal swings till bleed ticks them into 1 or 2 hit range.

Juddy

Um udidnt use one of the prettiest and best dmg attacks you have which is scatter hit 2... u didnt stack bleeds... u didnt try to posture down dizzy 2... and u just spammed one hit 2 one of the worste moves thats hard on your ham that you don't get much for... im not trying to flame or anything but how did you get 4-4-2-4 without using any of these attacks... and without Stacking the Bleeds, which is one of the main ways i got xp... He shouldnt have been able to knock you down... if you would have spamed Scatter hit 2.. you would have owned him... if you would have bleed him and spammed body hit 2 you would have owned him, u don't have body hit 3 yet but if you would have he wouldn't have lasted 4 seconds... If you would have used lunge and dizzy 2 u would have owned him if you just spammed dizzy 2, cause if he would have got back up, more than likely he would have fell back down again..... I walked in the tuscan fort at 5 am and know one was there but me and i walked in a room full of tuscan raider, captains and warlords... i was buffed and mind buffed of course but you know what i did... i just spammed dizzy 2 which is and area attack and i beat everyone of there asses... Just do some research yo... look at all your moves and all you can do... Work out a strag* and master brawler and you will be one of the most dangerous charcters on the game....

It all comes down to who gets that first nasty hit it seems.

whenever I duel a TKA I always ask to start a bit farther away than melee range. Do the samurai rush toward each other. Its the only time I get a chance to win against a TKA. Other than that, if I start very close to the TKA I just hope warcry lands hehe.

Well, I am not quite a Fencer yet (Brawler 2/3/0/0) and when I dueled a Marksman (0/3/0/4), I also gave him the distance he needed 64m starting distance. I found the Dizzy1/Lunge1 kept him down for a few seconds. I used OneHand1, Intimidate1, Warcry1, and Body Hit 1, then he has dead. I found from playing my older PvP character most duels have two phases 1)the cripple phase (bleed, blind, burn, dizzy, delay, etc.) and 2)Kill phase (attack the most damaged bar or the lowest bar). There is no spam phase. Spamming leads to losing normally.

Well actually I got to 4424 mostly on Yavin with /Spin hehe. works wonders when buff'd well. and the xp rolls in as long as I'm solo ( with a few pets mind u ).

So what I'm reading is this....there is a posture down ( is this dizzy ? ) I'm not seeing it otherwise. If so, I may be the most unlucky fence ever cause I have YET toget asingle posture down on anyone or anything. Is this some other tree? For me Dizzy is as good as pistolwhip is - which is basically a waste of xp.
