I'm changing templates and I've seen most of the big ones posted on the board but I'm looking for a variation of master rifleman (working on that) and master fencer (already have that). I see a lot of people saying master brawler plus medic from there but I have been thinking of doing something else.


I was thinking of this:

MR

MF

Pikesman 4134


This would give me all accuracy and speed for pikesman other than master, some extra defense to ***, more dmg types, and with this, I can target all 3 ham pools.

Another thought I just had was to change pikesman to 4044 and use the extra 4 sp to get 4 boxes of force powers

PVP or PVE?


If you're looking to loot the high end dungeons, fencer just doesn't cut it. Your defensive bonuses are overridden by the Mobs huge to hit bounuses and you can't damage enough.


PVP, could be an interesting combo.

Both really. What D bonuses are overridden in PvE from a fencer that aren't by other classes? Most dmg would come from the rifle end, and some from pikesman. With the 0040 line of pikesman plus block from rifleman, I'm maxed on that with all CoB minus MP.


Part of the reason I'm switching templates though is because I got tired of sucking royally in PvE after formally being great w/ the tried and true MC + TKM combo for about 9 months after launch so please keep the critiques coming. Alternate ideas are welcome as well.

Paccy ^_^ block does work and if he has that much pikeman it will be more then 50% more effective. We tested block extensively a few weeks ago and it appears the more accurate we were the more we avoided the block defense. The big problem with block is not that it does not work (it does believe me) but that it only reduces the attack by 50% vs 100% for counterattack and dodge.


The biggest problem with the weapon specific defenses is that they cap at 125 and accuracy (the part that avoids defenses) does not cap (I have no problem with this else everyone in pvp could be immortal again )


Tested uncerted (so no accuracy) vs master rifle, master rifle vs master rifle, certed novice pistol (some accuracy) vs master rifle, Uncerted vs master rifle/pike, master rifle vs master rifle/pike, certed novice vs master rifle/pike.


anyway Hi Paccy - you may not remember me but on Lok we used to shoot at each other off and on . Never did get the better of you though.

It does work as a pikeman but 1 thing to consider - it appears to only work for pikeman if you are using COB (appears tied to COB) and even then it did not activate often (threshold seems to high) but once you add rifleman block to it it works much much much more often.
