im master sworsdman/ master fencer/ master brawler 4-0-0-1 tka, speed cap swordsman. and there isnt much i cant tank with good armor and buffs. the fencer defense plus the swordsman blast and counterattack is a great combo. i dont do to bad in pvp either. it hurts at times having 3 gimped and semi gimped damages (kinetic, blast and stun) but with proper usage, preparing and tactics i do preety well with my template.

so far in 1 on 1 pvp, in the last month or so (i havent pvp'ed much lately) i fought several tkm's (won) a fencer (won) a swordsman (won) a fencer/swordsman (won) a rifleman/fencer (lost. but would of won had i been wearing my composite helm.) a tkm/doc (draw. i could barely hurt him enough to bypass his heals and he couldnt do any damage to me that wasnt auto healed by the buffs....me and my freind found him overt later on and killed him though ) and i also fought a cm/? i dnno what his templete was, but he stuck me with a mind poison tusken rifle and i suspect he had some pistoller or fencer or atleast dodge food becuase i couldnt hit him for nothing)

the key to pvp'ing with a fencer/sworsman templete is to keep them down and out and with as many states as possible, to allow you to hit the big damage.

if you go up just a few for swordsman, go up finesse (allows scythe. better for pvp imo, unless your hammer has good accuracy mods) also go up the speed tree (or get sea's, your call. you want to be speed capped.) and also whatever tree allowed headhit and mind hit (forgot name)

in fencer, its a tough call as each tree is equally usefull. the dodge tree is good, or the state defenses tree is also good.

Not sure why you would want fencer with a close to speed capped swordsman, may want to pick up TKA for meditate instead, or smuggler for the feign death and some slicing. Big appeal for fencer is speed, and defenses, but with all that doctor skill, doesn't really matter for you.

Personally, I am still a fencer/doc I just cant let go of the Master Doc. But a friend of mine is mst TK/Fencer and he gets all the benefits of melee def/ranged def which puts him over cap on both. dodge is weapon specific, which he only switches to when he's getting hammered, which isn't to often. He likes it, but is thinking of doing mst TK/Fencer/Sword. This way you get extreme state def (stun, blind,kd,dizzy) and extreme offense/def. This look gives you the awesome speed of TK w/the flexability to switch to AP damage w/sword when the situation calls for it. And the defense bonus from fencer & state def from sword. But this config requires you to grp w/a medic or doc if possible. Meditate is GREAT but does you little good when your in a long fight. Meditate, if you've ever done TK works GREAT before & after the fight, but NOT during.

BTW- Sword & Pike give you the extreme state defense but little melee def/ranged defense, because they rely mostly on the extreme offensive power of thier profession.

Hope this helps alittle

# I support people who don’t pirate the ribbon symbol and plaster all over irrelavent "causes" YARR, matey!

you might consider switching out fencer for tka like they said. get some bonuses still, and meditate on top of that. or atleast the defense lines from fencer and tka, and the meditate line from tka, since dodge only works with a bato equiped, so as a master sm/doc you wont be switching much.
