Keep COB on constantly, its your only hope, keep and gaffi and and stun baton hotkeyed for switching easily for armored and unarmored opponents.
Use scatter hit for buffed people and unarmed hit 2 for unbuffed.
Use lunge 1 alot, it makes kiters get in range and then you can keep up with them on the run, also don't chase a ranged opponent up a hill, unless you have some scout, run the opposite direction and draw him in.
Good tip for tkm's blind them first, its the best bet for surviving. If you get warcried just run away lol, don't think just run.
Put the stand command in a hotkey for when you get kd'd/dizzy, and try and use the building in town to your advantage, to be worried about taking cover, gives you time to heal up and evaluate, also use this time to pick a target, i always go for the comp buffed guys, get them out first the rest will fall.
Thats about it really, i've only been PvPing with fencer for about 3 weeks now but i'm enjoying it, especially stacked with pistoleer.

Heres what I do:
usually if its 1 person I'll warcry then do a dizzy2, then lunge1(nov.brawler skill) then spam scatter hit2...
fencer weapons usually take a lot of ham up, so be careful and have heals rdy =P
get a good stun baton, use it aginst people in armor(sometimes they aren't stun protection, but ya never know).. if they dont have armor i either use my vibro blade or grafi baton,
hope this helps =)

all to often i have people shooting at me while i'm trying to fight a melee, if not two.....what is the best for this? i try warcry, bleeding...intimidate...bodyhit, blind....but that doesn't help me not get shot, heh. any advice other than run and take cover? usually the melee is hanging by a thread but the shooters are killing my mind to fast for me to keep it up to finish the job.

Hm with out master brawler your best bet would be lunge1 from novice brawler, but try and keep CoB on, apart from this there isn't much else you can do.

Live and die by your CoB macro:
/centerofbeing;
/pause 36; (cob lasts about 35 seconds at master fencer with master brawler, you'll have to adjust your times to how long it lasts for you)
/ui action clearCombatQueue; (I think this is the right command)
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarslotxx;
Make the toolbarslot the slot that you put this macro in. Hitting the macro will center of being, and in 36 seconds it will clear your combat queue of any special or action you're spamming, then it will restart the macro from the beginning (thus starting center of being over againless than a second after it ends).It'll keep doing this until you hit /dump to kill the macro.
It basically assures that 99% of the time you'll have CoB running without ever having to worry about wether or not it's up during a fight. Every once and a while you'll be spamming stuff so hard you'll interject a special in the queue1 second before it refreshes, but it's usually easy to see when you do this, and you can peace and get the macro running again in the middle of a fight and come out ok.
Oh and if you get so many wounds that you can't CoB, but the macro is going, you'll get a nasty bug that spams the hell out of you. The only way to fix it is by getting the wounds healed to the point where you can CoB once more to stop the spam. It's amazing how often a fully buffed pvping fencer will get 999 health wounds and not even notice it 'til after the fight.

Instead of this
/ui action toolbarslotxx;
I use:
/macro centerOfBeing (can't remember if you need a colon or not)
This way you don't have to use up a toolbar slot on your fighting toolbar.
/centerofbeing;
/pause 36; (cob lasts about 35 seconds at master fencer with master brawler, you'll have to adjust your times to how long it lasts for you)
/ui action clearCombatQueue; (I think this is the right command) <= Oooo, didn't know about this, thanks 
/pause 1;
/macro centerofbeing;
Put on toolbar panel two, push, and remeber to /dump when done.
Or from the command line run /macro centerofbeing.

oh that's clever! I didn't know you could refer to a macro that you created on your own. I'll have to fiddle around with that. It'd be nice to be able to free up a slot on my bar... I can't seem to fit one handed hit 3 on there.

Was curious to how much more effective it was to make the pauses .1 or even .01???

you'll never hit any defense stackers with lunge, it will just take away from your HAM, you'd be better using warcry instead. But COB is your life and you will always have a tough time against tkms andheavy swordsmenif they stack defenses..

No the way to kill def stackers (like me) is to intimidate, spam it till you land it people, not only does it half the damage it stops COB working. But thankfully very few people on my server use it.

Intimidate can make high defense templates like night and day. Keep it handy.

Pause 1 has always worked fine for me... it assures that the commands won't get jammed up from executing too fast, and the chances of someone hitting you in that 1 second of vulnerability is extremely low. Even if you take a couple hits, you'll still be fine after cob starts up again.
