My main fund business is hunting.
However I'm a little bored w/ BH.
Can a Master Fencer own in PVE for hunting purposes or VS npcs?
I also sell faction, and this is something i Need to know.... not so big into PVP, but I do like it occasionally.

Using fencer I have no problems killing anything I run across on endor.... I also have no problems in the Geo cave killing Kwi, Geonosians, etc (haven't tried the acklay).... I just kick on my center macro and go to town..
I may not kill them as fast as a TKM ir swordsman can, but I can certainly kill them...

I agree.
As a master fencer I attack so fast that it does not matter that my gaffi is not AP. Buffed and with COB going, I can usually run around unarmored and not worry about getting beat down by most NPCs.Liberal use of intimidate and warcry helps as well. Even surrounded by 4 Toxic battlelords,I can still beat them into submission. it just takes me a while.The medium armored NPCs tend to be more of a challenge, though.
I am also a CH, so I'll drop a pet just to act as cannon fodder if I have to.

I don't seem to have any problems being a fencer, once i understood the toons limitations. I consider myself a support character. I do alot of solo PvE mostly on dath, everyone is right you are alittle slower in killing stuff because of the fact you are a support character. But most things are soloable as a master fencer, Center Of Being, intimidate are my bible. In a fight that goes the disatance the fencer will outlast just about any opponent 1 on 1. Still most mob's are no match for a skilled fencer, but the higher lvl mobs I wouldrecommend taking along a friend or two. As far as defense goes nothing comes close to the fencer on the melee side. TK has melee toughness, Sword & Pike have stong defense against the states, dizzy,stun,KD, & posture change. They can allalot ofdamage done to them & return the favor to whatever is on the other end. The fencer mostly relies on his dodge to aviod taking damage and it works very well, but with all that hit/miss ability the devs decided to take the kill power away from the character to make it balanced. So, you lose offense but gain a whole lot of defense thus the reference to support character.
I carry 3 weapons into a fight - 1 gaffie, 1 vibroblade, & 1 stun baton. In PvE this isn't really necessary, but everyonce in a while i like to do something different just to break up the same ol same o.

Dont forget also to check resists on the creature... if they are kinetic resistant and not stun resist, I pull out a stun baton and beat them into the ground
I have actually run around on endor unbuffed... I chose my battles carefully, but I escaped unscathed...
I also haven't been using armor unless its a really nasty MOB... I can take groups of moderate level (Storm trooper level) NPCs with out buffs... just pop a brandy and a vercupti and attack..

If u wanna kill big critters and high level npcs, go rifleman, swordsman, pikeman or maybe TKM
Fencer is a good tank, but its not gonna cut it for damage output on the big stuff
