Fencer Archive

I am looking to create a template that creates a defensive tank.From a search of the forums I've concluded that:

Mods cap at 125 natural skill points.A 175 Melee defense is no better than a 125, though the 125 can be raised via Food/Attachments/Bio-Engineering.

Center ofBeing(COB) can greatly enhance one’s defense and it is Profession related, i.e. the On-handedCenter of Being has nothing to do with Unarmed Center of Being. It is unknown if there is any advantage to either COB.As an aside, some in the forums noted that they could switch from TKA to Pistoleer quickly and retain the COB.

The defenses of Swordsman cannot dodge, Fencer/Pistoleer defense), Fencer cannot counterattack (Swordsman/Carbineer defense), and TKA cannot use any of the three.

Tera Kasi doesn't have a natural defense per se as in Dodge, Block, or Counter Attack but it does have what's known as Defense Acuity. This Acuity enhances your chances of performing one of your main defenses whether it be Dodge, Block or Counter Attack.

That the secondary defenses of: Blind, Dizzy, Intimidate, Knockdown and Stun are not as important as the primary defenses of Melee Defense, Dodge, Block, or Counter Attack and Defense Acuity.

Unarmed Toughness, a TKA skill that seems to decrease the damage once they are hit.

Therefore:

What supplies the better tank, completely ignoring offense, a Fencer/Pistoleer where the Dodge can easily be stacked to >125 or the TKA which has a Defense Acuity of around +96 and Unarmed Toughness? Ranged defense is not a priority. Either way you would be dabbling in the other profession, that is, the Fencer/Pistoleer would most likely have some TKA and vice-versa.

Also, the goal is to stand up to a Krayt for a period of time, where not getting hit seems preferable to getting hit and using Unarmed Toughness.

Any help would be appreciated..

i'm going to try a master fencer, shocktrooper, tk 4304 combot on tempest. that should do just fine, in theory.

All I know is that one of my firends is a fencer/pistoleer mastered both, and he solos krayt dragons.

If u looking for a pure tanking template than go for: master fencer/tka ; pistoleer 1-0-3-0 and medic 0-0-4-0....u have melee-def and dodge capped and kd/pc/dizzy/blind/stun nearly capped + u can use stimpack "d" witch are far better than "b"...an other choice could be master fencer ; tka 0-3-0-4 ; master medic and 4-0-4-0 doc...can tank quiet good+ u canheal all stats andbuff any time any placeu want....

Mastered Professions so far: * Brawler *TKA * Fencer * Swordsman * Pikeman * Marksman * Rifleman * Scout * Creature Handler * Medic

best way to go is pistoleer/fencer and if ya can fit soem medic if not fencer/doc good for pvp not sure if it serves a good purpose in pve

Well the template in my signature (with novice medic) maxes out on all defences except dodge, and has huge center of being.

Only weakness is poison, disease, fireand other such crap.

Defence vs. X caps at 90, Im not capped with all of them(capped with defence vs KD and posture change), but im at the highest any template can be withall ofthem.

And if you dodge a dot weapon or flamethrower, you still get the DOT on you, better to just make them miss....
