Right, im like 3 days into the game and am doing pretty wlell for myself, had 2 chars and have had novice rifleman, novice ch, novice ranger, novice fencer already - anyway i feel im quite proficient with the game.
Btw im new here, Hi all i know ill be welcome here... or at least i hope i will!
Hehe and now to the ?'s
1) What Tree Should i go for first? ive been using a 229-293 gaderiffi baton @ 3.5 speed so far.. and am doing ok.. but exp is getting verrry slow now..
2) Where should i hunt? i have about 23k so i could pay for some buffs or something and be on my way - but i dont know where, and if i could handle any of the tougher planets.. im getting 700 exp / kill right now - i was hoping for more
3) should i start using a stun baton?
4) are there any fencers on corbantis that i could have a chat with or something some time?
hehe, thanks before you reply for erm.. your replies (if i get any)
I HAVE read the other posts and cant decide what to do because of them, people say dantooine etc but i would think they would own me? who knows...

First I will direct you to the link in my sig for most of your questions. Secondly it seems like you are rushing things I mean you have been playing for 3 days and have done an awful lot. Take your time enjoy the game. Fencer is a great profession, and a lot of the older Fencers(meaning been a Fencer for a while) will tell you it is great. But this being your first post and have having done the professions you have I feel you would enjoy this game a lot more if you didn't just grind through everything. There are a lot of great people in this game, meet some of them and make some friends, and most importantly have fun.

I posted this on another forum but ill do it again for ya, first i gotta say, nice gaffi, i dont use gaffi's but nice. Second id say get a stun baton and review the kind of resistances your enemy has first before you decide whether to use gaffi or stun baton. For exp, if you can get armor or if you have some with high kinetic, get a stun baton, get your high kinetic armor, buffs, and then go to the mokk stronghold on dantooine, for your situation id say gather a group of no more than 5 at once, each mokk is roughly 5k exp, by the time you clear the place you should have gained at least 225k exp (not combat unfortunately lol). If you have any other questions about fencer leave me an e-mail you can either do it ingame on Corbantis.Diablack or you can leave me one in the forums.

Well I'm firmly of the oppinion that the best way to learn the class is to face the toughest challenges you can even if it means dying alot.
Here's my suggestion.
Get yourself 100k+
Buy 2 Brandy's (18 charge 390+)
Buy 10 Cnapes (5-6 Charge 700+)
Buy a set of 40-60% Kinetic resist Ubese (shouldn't be hard to find within the budget or with friendly Armorsmiths)
Buy a set of buffs or get a friendly Doc to give you a set of 2100+ buffs.
Head to Dantooine and get missions solo for 5-7k, get Bol or Picket or Quenker missions... Quenker would be easiest.
Eat a Cnape and drink 2 brandy's.
run up to the lair and start spinning. (Use an area attack spin like Spin 1)
With buffs and armor you shouldn't loose so much health you start dying, and you will whittle away the people hitting you eventually each set of spawns will die off giving you 2500-3600 xp per kill.
Use Lunge 1-2 to finish off the ones that ran away.
Kill the lairs and wash rinse and repeat.
If you die get back on the horse.
Oh and I suggest Footwork linefirst.
Fact is that Fencer isn't a great profession to dabble in with regards to content... sure there are missions you can do while leveling up, but the satisfaction of quickly raising skills is worth it, and the satisfaction of mowing thru theme parks after you've mastered Fencer is equally worth it.
But play around with tactics for handlinga full mission spawn on occasion, especially while working up skills, the tricks you learn will become invaluable later.
Grind or Casual, play around and go for broke on occasion... when missions get boreing take the money you earned and go shopping. =)

minerunner has the strategy down pat. thats what cha do.. dantooine or endor (10k-ish missions on endor for gurraks, hannadaks, bolle bols) and you'll have fencer in no time. I got master fencer, master TKA, and master brawler in 7 days by following that exact same strategy, and it would work for swordsman and pikeman too... if u need to talk about anything, I am on the corbantis server. If im not on, just drop me an email.

And try working your way up footwork first, won't get hit that often with it
