Fencer Archive

Unfourntinately i have run out of skill points so i cannonot get master fencer, i can only get two branches, i am wondering which two do you reccemend? or is it that important to get master fencer, and if so i have seen some people that have done pistoleer/fencer If you are one of those what else did you use your skill points on?

You don't have anything to surrender skill wise? I was getting low and gave up a whloe bunch of stuff to concentrate on Fencer. But if that is what you want, i would go for some of the defense which is footwork and techniqe.

if i could only get two of the trees then i would go for footwork, cause that is the speed bonus's, and the bleed hits. and then the one that give body hit2 and 3.

I think everyone would agree that Footwork is by far the best tree, but I would probably take Fencing Stances and Grips over Fencing Technique as mentioned above, soley because of the the range and melee damage bonuses. The scatter hits are worthless, but the defensive bonuses will carry over into all your other professions. In the end I think it's a toss-up, but I would personally rather have skills that reduce my damage instead of skills that avoid afflictions.

I just finished 175,000 tonight and trained Fencing Stances and Grips as my first box in Fencing (Radiant). Next I'll take Footwork, then bring those two up in Parallel. I haven't had a chance to play with Scatter Hit, but the defensive bonuses right off the bat is what I think I need first. Against mobs on Yavin4 and Dantooine, I'm not doing enough damage yet to make a massive difference but I do tank alot for my PA groups! I'm hoping the defensive Stances and Grips extend my tanking ability a little.
