I have been a TKM for quite some time. I also have Master Fencer to complement my skills, and when I max out TKM, I am able to switch right to One-handed and begin the grind again. But I realized that it seems to take me longer to gain XP with Fencer. I understand the TKM is one of the better grinding professions for FS XP. But I am wondering........Is it worthless to have Master Fencer with my template? Is it quicker for me to run missions on Dathomir, max unarmed in 1h 15min, then run to village to empty XP and max again before buffs run out, rather than max unarmed, then try to max Fencer? It seems that I can max unarmed, and usually get 450k of One-handed XP and still have about 1hr on my buff. This is tough to type down, but I am wondering if anyone out their just uses TKM to grind FS XP and finds it quicker than trying to max out 2 different weapons. Especially since my Stun Baton does not affect lairs and I have to switch accordingly if something is high Kinetic.
Thanks

Master Fencer isn't useless if you want to actually fight with fencer weapons. If not, you're best off just getting 4440 like I did and save the skill points; those are the only lines that give you good defenses.
Yes, getting XP as a fencer is a lot slower than as a TKA. The reason is that fencers don't do as much damage and so it takes them longer to destroy lairs and kill creatures. It's the same reason why swordsmen grind faster than TKAs (after they get their weapon speed bonus up high enough).
If your only concern is getting FS XP forget fencer and stick with TKA. I can get 900K unarmed and 90K combat XP in an hour or two with TKM.

Thanks.....Ican get the unarmed in like an hour, and thought about not doing Fencer, and just doing unarmed, run to village, do it again, run to village buff ends. I thought that that might be quicker than doing Unarmed XP andFencer XP.

I posted this in another thread earlier in the week. Even though I think its fastest to Capp Unarmed XP in the squill caves reguardless of Thieving Bastards, doing Kamuriths is quick too. I also only capp Unarmed and cash in, but I never go back out immediatly after to capp again. It would work and is faster, but I just get too sick of it. I am Commando too, so I sometimes do a few Makloc missions to go along with the Capped Unarmed.
Rancors and enraged Rancors have a payout of about 37k per lair. They have about 5k Unarmed XP and about 500 combat xp(i think). The funny part is that I hear about everyone doing their Force Sensiteve XP Grinding on Rancors, cause they say it is so fast for the amout of XP you get per kill, which is true, they are fast. But I have found that if youre not all about trying to get the money....then get these missions instead. Find any of these: Noctous(something like that)Kamurith, Kamurith Snapper, Kamurith Defiler missions. Their pay out is only like around 16k per lair, but each kill is much less HAM to pound out then a Rancor. Its either the HAM or the Resist differences. Either way Kamurith(anytype) each individually die faster then a Rancor, thus Quicker XP. Oh, yeah, their Unarmed XP is also 5k and 500(again, I think) Combat XP. Its just like doing Rancor missions as far as the XP goes, but much faster. Some one give it a try and verify this for me, or come tell me that Im full of $#!T. Id like to know if anyone has any faster methods for the FS XP Grind.
