Fencer Archive

I'm a 4/4/4/3 fencer and getting that last combat xp in is slow. Very slow indeed.I read somewhere on the forums that if you use grenades, all the xp goes to Combat XP... Can someone reassure me or tell me what nades to use, or if there's a better combat xp tactic? Thanks!

Grenade use does go towards Combat xp, but they are worthless. Best bet would be to simply do the hunt. Sure it can take some time, but it's your fastest bet.

I would say to just get buffs, find a lair with a lot of spawns and use dizzy2 on the lair (which is your best AoE hit) and kill lots of critters. I've found that giant baz nitch missions in a solo group are good for this (CL99 missions). You can get 80K xp per lair, and they go easy. This would translate into 8000 combat xp per lair, and 16000 combat xp per pair of missions. I don't think grenades would be the best way to go. Just look at the commando forums to see the problems with grenades.....mainly that you kill yourself with the blast of the grenades.

So just keep hunting for xp and the combat xp with come.

Actually C12's are the best thing for you to earn quick combat experience. They will literally double the amount of combat experience per kill each time. They aren't as damaging as a Proton grenade so their's no worry about hurting yourself or even denting your buffs.

Attack a lair, get surrrounded by multiple mobs, throw 2-4 C12's, spin attack until all mobs are dead.

I say throw more than one because grenades have poor accuracy (even at master commando) and many mobs will dodge or block the area effect. Also because the more damage you do with the grenades the more experience you get. I have recieved up to 1000+ combat experience off of a single kill which is the equivelant to 3 normal kills.

C12's add 5-15 seconds to your mission to use but they double the amount of combat experience but will also cost money (usually really cheap per crate). If your patience or versatility is that low then maybe they aren't right for you.

If you are using grenades what you need to do is buy yourself a few crates, what you then do is use them to attack the lair, don't hit it with your fencer weapon. Any mobs that spawn can be killed with your fencer weapon but only tap the lair with the grenades. Then when you destroy the lairyou only get combat xp, so whatever you would have been given as one-handed xp is instead combat xp.
