Fencer Archive

Try to get a wide range of resistances, but stun is dominating PvP right now-- the stun baton, the Jawa Rifle, the Geo pistol. Make sure your armor is not vulnerable to stun, if it's possible in the kind of armor you'll be using. If you don't have stun protection, against people using stun weapons, you might as well not wear armor. Kinetic and Energy are probably a couple more damage types you'll need to look out for.

Endor is probably still good with buffs. People recommend Dantooine, but Endor is great for leveling, you can't go 60 meters without stumbling over wild lairs (as opposed to mission-generated lairs) of all different levels. These are better xp as you go up than mission lairs. These wild lairs are really hard to find on Dantooine.

Stun protection in armor is less common, and it is frequently a vulnerability, so if you have a stun weapon and your opponent's armor is vulnerable to stun, your damage will come through full as if he was not wearing armor at all.

Aside from other Fencers, probably Fencer combos like Fencer/Teras Kasi. Without comp armor you'll take some bad shots to the head from Heavy Swordsmen, but if they're not buffed they will have to be careful around you.When I PvP'edmore often I was mostly killed by BHs using Eyeshot, and in those cases, I never saw it coming-- so cover your head.

Pistol might go nicely with Fencer as a cop theme,and the damage will do better in your community since no one will be in buffs or armor. Likewise, you will not have top-end armor or buffs to soak up a lot of the damage before you get in trouble, and pistoleer and fencer defenses stack well together.

I'm not that great at this part, but if you plan to have medic, I would raise your Strength and Quickness high, your Constiution and Stamina Low, and your Focus and Willpower both high.

Get a good idea from the start what your community's view on knockdowns, posture changes, and dizzy will be. Some people don't like it, but others feel it was designed for that purpose, so it's fair game. If you're roleplaying "no holds barred" like faction fighting, it's one thing, if it's more friendly dueling, some people get mightoffended. Talk it over with your group, no feelings will get hurt if you have a consensus from the start.
