I'm Master Fencer, Master TK, Master Brawler, and 0030 Pike. I only lose to ranged profs who have the "root" ability. That thing sucks.

how come you're losing to roots? IMO, ranged NEEDS roots or they would be completely useless against us - but you shouldn't lose all the time to them.


keep your CoB on, pop some food and drugs, keep some good 1200+ stims on hand and your 'recover from KD' on the toolbar...


live through the root, burst run, KD, and bash away.


personally i survive the root, burst, armor break, KD, critical hit, cripple, headhit - spam specials as necessary. usually they die after one KD. if they get out of range of me, i duck around a structure while the KD timer resets. i'll also 'hide' if i am having difficulty re-applying CoB and they're too far away to beat down. use that extended lunge and cripple to your advantage!


the only thing i would recommend is armor break from the swordsman tree - IMO, it's infinitely more useful than warcry or intimidate. if you can get it, critical strike is nice as well.


having fought against triple mastery BH/Pistol/Rifleman with my TKM/Fencer/Swordsman - i can say that root battles are nail-biters! it's FUN. it's a CHALLENGE. victory is not decided before the beginning of the match!


but i've yet to lose

I didn't say I lost all the time to rooters. But the only times I have lost have been from people spaming root on me. Usually I can just wait for the root to go away and then dizzy/knock down as fast as I can, and then hit away. But sometimes their just tooquick on the spam, and then you just have to sit there and take it.

No such thing as a ranged elite triple mastery. Only melee has this, which was massive oversight in a system where triple elite masteries have been removed.


I agree though, PvP is fun

No I don't wear armor. I didn't wear it before the CU and I don't use it now. I have cob on a loop macro, and I always have tk /powerboost on. And regardless of what anyone else says TK inate armor does work with a fencer weapon. And it freeking owns. I really don't take much damage, quite nice.

master fencer / master pikes / master brawler


lots of fun, just intimidate them if they start running away to root, after the root KD, armorbreak, kill


make sure to drink ruby bliel to use stims every 30 seconds

I am sure you did this. When root breaks instead of chasing him and allowing him a clear shot to do so again, instead I duck around a building, over a hill or structure and let him come to me. Works all the time. Line of sight / Use terrain and structures to your advantage
