Thread: How is fencer stacking up for a pvp pro?
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 ![]()

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 ![]()

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.
Just wondering, do you wear armor with that template?
Im consitering taking up a tk/fencer build next ![]()

well - as close to a triple mastery as possible, then ![]()
