Learn how to fence in 7daysFollow

I have yet to see a Blademaster with anything other than Gaderiffi. Ok, I have seen one holding a Ryk blade but when I asked him about it he admitted it was just for show and he used a Gaffi as well.

The Rantok is a quest item, afaik, it was never meant to be player made. From what I have read it is not much better than a Ryk and a decently sliced Ryk is far better (my Ryk blade has 1.8 spd)

Any new brawlers working on 1hd and then fencing look on the bazaar under Melee Weapons. I and most other Fencers sell off the Gaffi we don't like the slices on. So you'll pick up a high quality, unused Gaffi with an average spd or damage increase for 2 - 3k.

If anyone is going fencer I recommend taking Master Brawler for the KD you get with Lunge2. Fencing profession gets no KD of it's own but does get a Dizzy so with the same KD from Lunge2, not too mention Warcry and Intimidate2, you will be far more effective.

Does anyone know the stats of a Rantok sword? I won't be doing it anytime soon as I am no friend of Jabba but would be interested in what it's stats are.

Fencers are weak?

Hmmmm
Good Luck
LOL

So you don't actually know then?

OK, well rather than wait for someone that does I did a browse (which I should of done already but..duh, didn't think)

I'll post from home where I can check my weapons but this looks pretty crap to me. My Ryk is like 73/177 spd 1.8 my Gaffi is around 170/285 spd 3.5
This Rantok is more like the damage of my Vibro blade but over a second slower.
Only good thing about it is the HAM penalties look ok but still not as good as my Vibro Blade.

I spoke to someone using rantok, theirs waws better than 150, it was like 177(i think if i remeber right) and he says it's good because it has high hit likeliness, you get it by doing jabba quests until he asks you to get it, then once you have it don't give i back

I'm now at novice fencer and i'm at a loss as to what the best way to go about leveling it. I'm in the process of looking for a good suit of armor with low mind incumb stats (not sure what to choose ubese, mabari, or padded?). I'm already used to grouping on Dantooine to level my carbineer (2/1/2/1 carbineer), but i'm not sure if this is good enough to level Fencer. I know many creatures have kinetic resists (which any brawler class has as a major damage dealer) and with my stun baton, I can at least attack them with a rarely resisted form of damage. However, my gaffi stick is much more powerful than the stun baton, but, sadly, only does kinetic. Any tips on where to go level that has good Fencer XP and relatively easy creatures with a group of 4-5 players?

So, to end, i'll simplify what I just said...What armor is good for Novice Fencer? Where is a good, easy place to level Fencer (with or without a group)?

Thanks

PS...I'm not doing Carbineer/Fencer for the Hologrind, just simply for fun and to run some Theme parks.

I SAID FENCERS ARE WEAK TILL YOU GET ONE-HANDED IV THE DANCE OF BLADES LOL I THINK U MISUNDERSTOOD ME FENCERS ARE TIGHT AND VERY STRONG YOU GET FAIRLY STRONG AT ONE-HANDED IV AND THEN AT NOVICE FENCER YOU ARE SO STRONG YOU CAN SINGLE A GRAUL IF YOU HAVE THE BEST WEAPON YOU CAN USE AND KNOW HOW TO USE YOUR SKILLS RIGHT

Well until you make Novice you are not a Fencer you are a Brawler.
Again, Rantok is NOT a player made item, it never has been. It prolly never will be. It is a quest piece, that's all. It is actually meant to be given up and not kept but most people keep them. Try and pay attention 007
