I am at that point... Master Fencer/Master Doctor... 3sp left. What to do?

I do have 2 accounts, the other one is my crafter and this one is my combat and lets face it, after crafting so much I just want to kill, but kill with some meaning. All I find myself doing is killing Genosians, Nyms, and Avian Creatures, the meat I keep for buff packs but the rest is for me good WS friend. But can I keep this up? Getting no XP n' all?

Yesterday while my WS friend and I were preping for a SUPER SALE I noticed the Scythe,,,all I can say is SWEET! I had no idea that it was AP2. This one was AP2, 1.9s, 305dmg, +5,0,+5. I was like, 'DAMN' Damage only better then my Baton by 14 pts, but lower speed AND AP2! Got me thinking you know...

But I keep on hearing that a Swordsman's Counter is no wayclose as good as a Fencer's Dodge

Is this true?

Should I just stick with Fencer, or make the switch? I have 300k Combat XP saved up so I could learn I, II, and III (of the combat line) once I got Novice Swordsman which means I could use that bad ass Scythe right away ^_-

So basically, I want to start a Fencer Vs. Swordsman debate so I can decide base on the info I just don't have on Swordsman.

Thanks!

Where did you hear that? Dodge is slightly better because no dots can pass through. Counterattack does the same thing as dodge but dots can pass through. Since the dots were nerfed so bad, you won't have to worry

It depends on if you are going to PvP at all. Swordsman can be successful in PvP but nowhere near as successful as a fencer. Fencers get better accuracy, they are faster, they have better defenses and they have the stun baton.
