Fencer Archive

Sorry but I have to hang up my sword, right now there is no reason to play Fencer,

After recent patch the devs took away any chance for a Exp. Fencer to win against any other Exp. Player of any other combat class. PvE is different Fencer is very good in PvE, in a group. Flame away if you want call me a wimp whatever, but come prove that a fencer can win a duel (Ill be on Bloodfin).

Its a shame too, Fencer was so promising on the old SWG boards, unique moves such as disarm. But as of right now it is by far the worst PvP class to be in. What Commando? Nope A master Unarmed will spank your butt like there is no tomorrow, let alone a Master Marksman.

The only way a Fencer will win in PvP is against a total newb.

I agree unless, they give the fencers somethin like that, fencer are nothin, what exactly are the devs going to fix

nothing, expect to see our HAM costs go up in a patch soon too. ( Look at Brawler response from Q-3P0)

The only thing that would fix Fencer is if Dodge actually dodged at least 70% of attacks, with current damage, and defense vs. stats increased and work.

But this is what they will do, up damage on specials, up the HAM cost, up the toughness to 30 or so, and guess what Fencers would still suck. I havent surrenderd any skills yet and probably will not for a while unless DEV's decide this is how Fencers are supposed to be.

sorry to see you go Fury had such hope you would stay for the long run. I will be here if no matter what it is passion not skills that brought me here. On bright side i started a unarmed on test in my free time while my hunting party was not and the evasion skill( block evade counter attack) seemed to be occuring alot more often i was only a brawler. Try that before quiting and see hwat you think. In the mean time i will find the proper funeral march to play for yyour exit.

oh im not about to drop the skills that ive worked for since opening day, plainly put as of right now though my curved sword is promptly set on the wall of my house

I have two skills to go before Master Fencer and I am not actively pursuing it till a way to get massive XP rears it's head again. Fencer takes the longest time to get XP for.

I have traded my sword for a sowing needle. Might as well get to Tailoring so I can be fasionable.

This sounds similar to what i've done. I reached master fencer awhile ago and just got plain bored with the game. There was nothing left for me to do so i took up a chef... (Which i dont particularly like too much). In PvP, i dont even bother going out too much because i get owned unless the person i attack isnt looking at me. Granted, i never intended to be a PvP player when i started fencer, but having the option would have been nice. But i found out the hard way when i tried PvP in Theed a few times, i basically stood no change against ranged players, and TKA's would knock me down and just pound on me. Until SOE does something about fencers, my sword is gonna sit in my house until i have a reason to pick it up again.

I donno... sorry to hear that but all I can say is it's kinda stupid to quit because of current PvP issues. The current state of PvP in this game is absolutely atrocious, and while it may be currently the only form of an endgame, it seems like it's going to be awhile before they actually make it fun to play, well balanced, yet not unbalance PvE gaming at the same time.

Master fencer cannot be beaten by master unarmed by any stretch of the imagination.

From what i understand we have no corspondent, our ham cost kill us cause we are lighting fast, our damage sucks, our utlimate weapon hardly exist and if you find one, it is a horrible weapon and we have combos that all do the same move, no varitey. Why i still hold my sword, because of passion. But i agree we need a change, i will never throw my sword down, i will just quit the game if there isnt a postive change or bright outlook for us fencers. (Sigh) I only respond in hopes other fencers will check this out and post so we can raise a little noise and maybe get a dev to notice.
