If you think poisons and diseases have no value (even with the dot change), feel free to drop combat medic. Or, cut back as you don't need to spend all 63 points to get most of the benefits of terrain negotiation or area stims.

I would never suggest that anyone stay master in an elite class that doesn't provide them adequate value for 63 skill points.

Hey,

You have to be reasonable, Ki. It is very difficult to implement new lines into the already working codes. It's like replacing your transmissions. You never know the effects it will have on the program until you get it going.

Besides, a "fencer" in SWG is not necessarily that Western Sport started around the middle age. If you want that sorta fencing you are playing the wrong game.

Nonetheless, according to SWG manuals, a fencer weapon is supposely an elegant weapon. And, a bent water pipe wouldn't belong in that category. (Rantok Sword certainly have this very exotic and very powerful looks, but it is so impractical it's a bad joke.)

Personally, I am content for nowwith a vibroblade. It's not so unwieldy like carbines and long-vibro-axe. A vibroblade is almost a size of a utility knife, but on a hand of a decent fencer, it is a deadly weapon. I kind of like that image. Very close to the vision of my char. (If there is a vibrorapier it would probably look wonderful though)

P.S. Please if you don't like the profession, no one is stopping you. You should do what you like. If you feel being a heavy swordsman is better go right ahead. I became a fencer not because you approve of it. I became a fencer and still am a fencer because I like it. However, note also that I have no right to convince you because what you like is highly likely different from what I like.

Um... nice to meet you, too.

You might consider reading this forum a bit more before making such statements.... it's the least you could do.

Yeah Raphayl, that's the least you could do! LOL! J/K Can you say DODGE? My gosh Raphayl bends over backwards for the fencers.

Thx Raphayl for everything you've done for Fencers.. Also I am just 400k away from BladeMaster! Oh yeah it' on now!

Heck, all I really want is for the vibro-blade to look like the vibro-blades in KOTOR. THAT would do it for me. I like the effectiveness of my VB, just hate how small and ugly it is.

Ki, all Raphayl has done with Fencer so far is to make it work. That is the best thing any correspondant can do for their profession. I am sure that the "...the least you can do is..." comment was meant as a joke and we just took it out of context. At least I hope so... you don't want tofeel the wrath of the Warrior Fashion Goddess!!

Raphyl, you've done an excellent job as our correspondant. Although I don't believe anyone can really disagree that our current weapons selection is aesthetically what fencing would offer; we have made a lot of positive progress and still seem to be doing so. Good things will come, I'm sure.

well actually fencer IS like the european sport. if it's not then it should have the name fencer. I agree it lacks the weapons that make sence. a stick with a nail in it, ain't really a weapon for novice fencer, lol it's a weapon for a farmer for gods sake. Oke everybody knows that this game REALLY lacks weapons in ALL the classes. same with swordsman, but you only got like.. 2 swords.. while other mmorpg's have like 30 or more. well you have to take to good with the bad I guess, but more weapons is a MUST. because swg lacks depth when in come that weapons and armor. personally I think that they hold back all the new weapons for the space expansion...

id like to see a vibrorapier go ingame.... and maybe another stun baton... maybe make the one we get at novice fencer worth using??? or maybe even a weapon that does differnt damage like cold or heat? i dunno just thoughts!! but i think the devs SHOULD!!! i mean SHOULD add a vibrorapier with ap1 for novice fencer...

you know, i've never seen Lyahpar actually do any work. sure she has results, but that smacks of Dev work to me. and why does she always have chocolate on her chin?

p.s. i always do the least i can do. one man's laziness is another man's efficiency. you won't believe what i save on my water bill by showering only on new moons and holidays.

Personally, I like the gaf and curved sword. They are the most elegent weapons we have.

And if you read the online holocron, hit ctrl-h in game, the fencer class is not just about bladed weapons. We are the masters of one-handed weapon combat.

I would be just fine with a steele pipe that does 400dmg asI would be with shovel that has AR3. The beauty in the profession is in the technique and style. Jacki Chan can kick your ars with a swizzle stick and thats cool.

What we really need are more effective weapons.
