Hi welcome to the Fencer world, I’m currently running a build that I call “DEFencer” . IMO Pelt1 is a must have for beginner swordie (1st it makes killing quest ez by providing aggro 2nd it makes you wanted in grinding parties. heck i even went for pelt3crazybuild, yep pelt3 and i’m loving the build so far). I consider my fencer a tank/dps since i can switch between offensive and defensive stance. Again my build is out of meta, may have lower dmg output than the metafencers and I still switch to sub weapon Dagger (from Shield) during the Offensive stance.

As for STR vs DEX, this is a months (year ) old discussion. Going Full DEX is a thing now since you can slot-in some yellow/red gems on your weapon w/c makes STR non optimal. I think your previous 20ish STR and 30ish Con is really fine since it’s a new char and you are a new player. 30ish con is okay just for you to grab the game concept w/o think much of your HP lul + you have low funds for gems/armors, 0-con is still okay if you’re a masochist just always take pardoner buffs.

You can always visit us at the Fencer thread: Guide to Fencer / Doppel [PVE]

Good luck and happy stabbing :slight_smile:

You can go both tanker and dps in your char, of course it’s better to focus on one, but still you can manage ways to make your character work. Sw1/2 > Pelt 3/2 > Corsair > Fencer3 is a way to go too, but for tanky builds you will need CON, as for the late debate about STR vs DEX, it’s just that STR is easier to go in the early levels, DEX is undoubtedly better than STR, but yet I would recommend STR as a status like I said, “easier” to manage. Remember, just like Cathexis said, every build is viable, one of my swordsmen is a experimental Fencer that I stopped at R6 with 6 different classes, some newbies that see my tree in dungeons and missions often mock me, but despite their opinios I managed to stay in top 20 in pvp even against R8, it’s a extravagant and unorthodox build but very consistent and functional!

Pelt 1 is a must have for Fecner, you want Guardian 1 for 18% extra evasion it gives. You lose paltry 2% pattack but that doesn’t really matter.

Hi, I just downloaded it 2 hours ago and i’ve been following this guide:

Thing is, i’m looking for something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ubg_eFv1eKw& (HOPE U DONT MIND THE RO COMPARISON). In other words, anything with a devasting autoattack.

In DreamSky’s build, the says: Stats Full Dex.

But you said: In all these builds(for PVE), I would not recommend any points spent in DEX, instead I would do like Akisera said, for every 2 points invested in STR, put 1 point in CON.

Since i’m new i want to focus 100% in PVE. Get rich, learn more about the game. So PVP is not a concern. I would like to leveling alone or with a single friend…

Can u guide me please? ^^

Thanks in advance.

I am new and i know i want to play dragoon for sure. I was told to go sw 3 hop 3 and drag 3. Im using the dragoon guide i found online under public builds. Its my first char. Would this be a bad build path for a dragoon?

prefer sw pelt hop3 dop goon2

u got almost everything about pve in this build (good in both 1h+shield and 2h)

pelt essential in hop build since hop3 best skill is spear throw

and geras spear is best spear for this skill (it’s 1h spear that outdamage 2h when using spear throw)

pelt give huge bonus to shield user, mob aggro make mob clear faster

doppel is one of top filler class

deeds of valor boost your physical attack by 50%

cyclone do huge damage on cloth armor (your pierce skill do low damage, so u need this as slash skill)

double pay make u lving faster, get x2/silver/drop from rare mob

just use it before finish off mob
