Fencer Archive

Anyone using melee against ranged players is at a serious disadvantage. Out of all the PvP battles I've fought, I have yet to get close enough to hit someone with my vibroblade. All that happens is the ranged person makes me bleed, then continously makes me kneel with suppression shot and then kills me off without me getting in so much as a hit. Any other fencers out there have the same trouble?

yes I do, I jsut burst run at them, and then my stun baton does the rest!

that ain't cool yo. I more just have problems actually inflicting any damage on people... not sure what is up.

I always just put follow on right before the duel starts. Then either they or I accept the duel, and before they know what hit em boom lunge/dizzy they on their backs. Then all it takes is a few smacks with me sword and they dead. Yet to fight someone who made me move away... ranged users I fight are too cocky for their own good. I think we also have an advantage since everyone in the galaxy thinks they can lay the own down on us.

Straight PvP, I can win. When a random Rebel bursts into a cantina and puts a dozen KDs on me with his pistol before I even know he's there and shoots me to death, then I have problems.

Or when random people run up and steal my missions by just shooting at them purposefully and then laugh at me afterwords by saying "That's what you get for using a gay sword." Grr...

only way i can kill in pvp is to be killed first, go back to guy who killed me(he will have TEF). Get close use 1hlunge then dizzy attack and spam body hit. Other than that i can't really kill anyone other than brawlers in PvP.

I get killed a lot because I choose to use my sword, rather than my pistol. So I like to use my TEF on the player that killed me. It actually makes it a little more of a challenge to have to actually sneak up on someone to hand them what they deserve.

So when that person is distracted, it's time to lay the fury down. They don't see it coming. Lunge/Dizzy combo and down they go. Then I hear all the complaints abouts the lunge/dizzy being to powerful and that I used a TEF to take them out. But no one seems to admit that because a melee person takes them out, that they used good tactics to do it. I had one person complain that I didn't play fair because he was attacking another person in my group and I use my TEF to make him kiss the ground.

Well if someone db's someone else, then that person shouldknow theyhave a TEF on them. So be on the lookout for that person.

Melee fighters are dirty fighters, we need to find everyway to get the first hit or hit them when they least expect it.

I enjoy being a fencer in PVP, it gets your blood flowing knowing that your severely out numbered when you see all of your opponents have guns. There will always be more ranged users than melee, so we have to live with it and outsmart our opponents.
