Well we've all by now made at least one of the new loot schematic weapons. We've also seen thequest reward DoT weapons from the various themeparks.


Everyone seems to have gotten something here:


Two-Handed sword:

Scythe, bile soaked teeth,2 different cores/schematics for cores, Grooved sword, Gammorean battleaxe.


Pistol/marksman:

Genosian sonic pistol, Mod. Republic blaster, Featherweight FWG, 2 different pistol barrels, new PFM enhancers,scopes ( ).


Carbineer/riflemen:

Enhanced E11 carbine, Tenloss disruptor rifle, FF stocks ( ) 2 different rifle barrels.


Polearm:

Nightsister energy lance, lightweight vibro-units. Range buffs to their master weapons.



At the very bottom of this we have the lowly One hand melee. What did they get?


They got a Jagged Vibroblade !?!!? A small bleedDoT weapon, useless to the master fencer. Plus they only got this if they were rebel or paid for it.They got reinforcement cores that can be out done by any smith. No new gaffi stick with an action poison. No genosian Rantok with restraint damage.


Basically I think they got a raw deal. They already have the smallest arsenal in the game (apart from TKA) and there are a lot of them out there, judging from my stun-baton sales of late. This may be by a lot oftemploiting riflemen simply grinding the dodge line, but I believe there are a lot of standalone fencers out there.


Why has the fencer been over-looked in this way? Why did 2H get so MUCH new stuff, and such a terrific weapon as the Scythe when they already had the powerhammer? Are the Devs all heavy sword wielders? No, wait, all the Devs are Jedi on TC ...


If I were a fencer I'd be feeling pretty ostracised by recent developments. But I'm a pistoleer so I'm happy...for now...

Howdy;


Agree with the post but would like to add something. The rancor teeth jave yet to be a plus. I have had three different types to date and they are a waste of good resources. Normal make is Double HAM and slower speed for about 10 more HP and 10% wound. Not a sword user but this seems like a raw deal on top of a raw deal <grin>.

I agree, Brokendrum, buthey it's something...


Did get some nice 110 dmg teeth for a decent price last week though, and made a Cleaver that after slice hits 96-420 @ 4.5. HAM is normal but range mods are little off. Wound is scary: something like 65%.

No, no, see, you have it all wrong. I LIKE going to the Geonosis lab and fighting monsters with AP2 and 60% kinetic. 30% stunresists. It's a lot of fun when I hit them with my damage sliced stun baton and 1 hand hit 3& I see "233", "310". "257" fly above their heads. Then I switch to my 290 max damage gaffi & see the game thing. Or my 192 max vibroblade and see the same thing. It's fun. No, really it is.


Usually what I do is sit outside & charge 15-20K for buffs, rezzes are free. I do the most damage that way.

I agree with the part about fencers not getting any new eye candy in this publish, but as far as effectiveness goes you can make some sick stun batons with ackley bone.

Hahahahaha, that is hilarious.....Fencers? You mean the ones with the super defenses? That barely get hit? You're joking right? Once I get Master Pikeman and Master Swordsman, my defenses with BOTH professions won't equal to 1 Fencer. Hey, guess what, you can hit 300 or so all day, but guess what, you can also use a stun baton for stun damage. What a joke. That's like people saying TKMs are weak and need more love.....


This is the best quote I have seen all day!!!!!!!

AP2 VBs? I wish... Fencers are about to get an even greater nerf when they start capping their defenses. So much for the uber fencer/pistoleer w/ the massive dodge. Add the craptastic weapon selection and most fencers are going to use that 1-handed skill to uber-flip sony the bird as they bail out of the profession to something actually worthwhile. How's pikeman looking these days? Or maybe Image Designer? Politician any1?

Heh, I just dropped master fencer, going up Pikeman. I don't know why, but it sure feels nice at novice pikeman to hit for 1800. Anyways, it's going to be a long hard journey, hopefully they improve the class (pikeman)while I'm here. I love fencer though, I WILL be back.

If you like PvP, don't go pikeman... If you like PvE, you'll Love Pikeman. Simple as that (and it's not hard to master like you think, kill savage quenkers on Dantooine)
