Head to swgcreatures.com and do a search for all mobs with an AR2 or higher.
IMO Swordsman is better prepared because high end mobs seem to havegreater resists to kinetic than blast damage and the LVA and PH are the two AP2 melee weapons in the game

Kaynab
I noticed several fencers have master brawler. What exactly is the upcoming nerf with Warcry2? Do you or anybody else know? Even with the dodge nerf coming up Im doing fencer because it seems cool. Im going to do a ranged profession but not sure at this point, probably pistol or rifle, I haven't decided. Do you pvp a lot? Are you the same Kaynab that was an imp at one time and owned a bunch of us as a smuggler/tkm?

Alvin, Fencer is the best implemented profession in this game
. I absolutely love it.Basically they are making warcry useless. Warcry used to delay one target for 10 seconds. Warcry2 delayed multiple targets in a cone for 20 seconds. With the new system, a target is only delayed until it is attacked. Unfortunately it has been proven that you will almost never delay something because soon as warcry lands, you will most likely autoattack it before you can hit peace. This effectively makes warcry useless.
A possible fix that they are considering is to make it an area attack verse a cone. That way if you are jumped by 5 things who form a circle around you, you'll be able to delay 4 of them while focusing on the 5th. In my opinion, that is a reasonable change.
I pvp a lot and find warcry2 to be quite unfair, but no worse than panic shot (at least warcry2 is resisted and has a smaller range). I love pvp with my char except that at this point I'm ready to quit due to the tremendous unbalancing from CMs.
And yes I'm the same Kaynab, although these days I go by Ro'kay (deleted Kaynab and started over with Ro'kay who is rebel and a member of DS).
