I'd skip the rez abilility and use it towards the KD defense of fencer, because once you go master brawler you'll kill yourself with your keyboard for not having it earlier

you would need fencer 0-4-0-0 for the 50 kd defence I think. it is up to you, warcry 2 is sweet as is lunge 2. standing around with 75 kd def is also sweet too, thuogh you are not immune to kd,it happens much less. the Melee and ranged defence from fencer is very nice now, so that is a good idea also. A lot of different ways to play it, all very good. But being able to delay a group of attacking enemies for 20 seconds is awesome. If you have on armor and are buffed you can ride out the KD dizzy, that is what I do now when I am caught with my COB off.

Pvp as a commando is exactly why I took up tka. It really helps against swordsman and other tka's. Not many people expect you to be able to match them up close, which really helps your surviveability.
But, the most fun is being able to "sneak" around behind the fight and target a group of imperials not watching you, and dropping round after round from my rocket launcher or tossing a few proton grenades in the fray. They just drop... 3000 damage plus comes as quite a suprise to most. And I must say, is very gratifying.

Yeah, this scenario is being played out on a daily basis on all the servers.

At least you have 'some' protection from them, wookiees have NADA ,zip, zero....

This is total bs if you ask me and for the first time scince release I have actually considered cancelling my account. Master BH is a worthless profession. Why did I work so hard only to realize what i had worked for could have been surpassed in much less time.With much less skill points, i might add...

I just woke up, and im still pissed.

Master TKA

Killes

2 Commandos

2 Grauls

1 GSP

1 Master BH

Almost all by him self, hiting me for over 1500 damage every second. Um they complain about not being able to solo krayts? ROFL!

Im not one to call nerfs, I personally hate them. But when it takes me and my friends almost 45 minutes to kill a krayt, and a TKA can almost solo one? I see a problem there.

Yesterday in Dearic an imperial TKA came into town. I went overt and shot him with charge1 and spray. He flew into the cantina because of lag. I went in an he killed me. He cleared dizzy that fast. I am almost scared to fight one now becuase of FOW and the insane power within 20m.

I had my first pvp experience as a fencer today I had targetted another player followed him and sprinted so I was in 3m of him blinded him then tried to use 1 hand body hit 3 and everytime I tried to hit him as we run around I got a message saying target out of range yet I was showing 3 m behind him is this normal ? if so how are you supposed to kill someone if they just run away with no kd ?

use kd?

oh and yes it is normal to get the out of range message think its due to server lag

Lag's a bitch!

But there is really nothing you can do besides KD or Lunge1. But even Lunge1 wont help you much. Try to use warcry and Dizzy and intimidate and Lunge1 until you get him fixed.

If you want an effective way to deal with Players in PvP, there is no way around Master Brawler! You will need a Knockdown (KD/Dizzy, to be more exact).

If you simply dont want to go Master Brawler, there is nothing else you can do, than Lunge1 and staying alive long enough to kill him! Lunge1 and dizzy to get him down (will take a while untill he finally falls over, maybe even never). Use Warcry and Intimidate to reduce the amount of damage your opponent deals.

A pure fencer has a hard time in PvP.

A Pure swordsman can at least deliver evil Mind Bleeds, but a fencer is rather gimped.

If you want to PvP, get Master Brawler or take up Smuggler and Pistoleer.

I disagree Dogg.

My current template is master fencer, 1/0/0/0 pistoler (still leveling and only 130 dodge at the moment) and 0/3/4/0 doc.
Last night I dueled one of those dreaded tkm/master rifleman/duelist and split the battles dead even with him.

The fight mostly consisted of him running, me self buffed and on massive mind food and spice, and an 80% comp helmet for when he pulled out the t21. I have cob set in an infinite loop, blinded him (helps out your defense mods), put both bleeds on him, dizzied him, intimidated him, and put a mind poison and mind fire on him (a janta knife and a looted ryyk from the tusken fort).

The way he won is if he dizzy/kd'd and I stay down, then I can't cob. If I can't cob, out comes the master headshot and its over. If you can stay on your feet... you'll do just fine with master fencer in pvp. Being a doc gives me the advantage of curing the dizzy effect .

I should note that he wasn't buffed except for power boost, but had a 2500 mind bar. In the last battle we did... I had no serious damage and he had both his health and mind bars completely drained.

As for the kd, its not necessary. Against normal players, posture change + dizzy is very good. The guy I fought had 80 vs posture change and I think I only dizzy/kd'd him once.

jeez, im surprised he pulled out a t21 when you had a helm like that...i wouldve pulled out a jawa

Oh he did. There was actually a great moment where I put on my helmet, he pulled out the jawa ion and I took my helmet off. This caused him to laugh while shooting me . I think we did that little dance 3 more times in the fight.
