Well, as of right now, no "to hit' bonus for you melee Ranger.

And you really want to take on torturs and sharnaffs with a pointed metal stick?

All kidding aside, you don't get to hit bonuses, you got to be in a creatures face to hurt it, and while you do a lot of damage on some moves, you gotta carry a pharmacy to heal you after every battle. Not to mention camping after every mission. Which could change you get a droid after the next patch.

I respect melee people. Don't understand them, but I do respect them.

Pikeman is horrible. You spend more time fanning your fellow hunters than you do actually hitting anything. I am now working on Fencer. Which, even without the to hit bonus, is an awesome Prof to have for us Rangers. With the bonuses you get in avoiding hits, melee mitigation, and the fact that most of your moves involve your H/A bars, a good set of buffs, and the Center skill, and you hardly get touched while slaying your favorite critters.

The lack of weapon choices is somewhat discouraging though. You start with a dagger, lv 2 one handed gets you the weapon you will most likely use the rest of the time, the all mighty Gaffi stick. You then move onto a vibro blade that is really weak, and then a sword that is only available through a Jabba Quest (they suck anyway). By the time you hit Novice Fencer, you get your final option, the Stun Batton. Not a bad weapon, but I still stick with the Gaffi stick.

This profession has my vote for one of the best PVE skills in the game. Add to that a good set of Ubesse (sp) armor, some decent buffs, and perhaps a mind buff or some Muon, and you can hunt all day without fear of seeing the inside of a cloning center.

I read the post on rifleman/Ranger and I was wondering how Fencer would do as a Ranger.

I'm definitely going Ranger with this toon permanently. I created this account to holo chase and I've recently opened that Force Slot.

WIth that done I can do what i've wanted with that toon all along and that's make it a Ranger.

My first holo was Fencer and I liked it so much I've kept it throughout all the holo grinding professions.

I was hoping it would do well as a combat class to support doing the Ranger thing.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

If for some reason Fencer sucketh for Ranger.. what would be good in your opinion and why?

Honest opinions wanted.

Thank you.
