No matter what you do.
Fencer should always remember, the inherent weakness of Fencer were to sumarized.
- AOE ratio were very small compared to Spear or 2 hand. so you either being a tryhard and spend a lot of money to Increase it for So-So result (that still sucks compared to other swordman class - and dont even compared it to mages - and end up dissapointed and rage to filthy mages). or just accept your fate that Fencer were sucks at killing and controling mobs - in other ways not that DPS fencer is bad. but know your limit
the AOE kinda feel like Small Line rather than circle, its kinda require propper positioning, even with perfect position - Low AOE mean you can not Cleave all the mobs.
- Fencer lack of Lockdown, low mobility, and being an Evasion class. Fencer will always strugle to be competitive in pvp.
- Fence drop durability fast, always have backup ready
Keep in mind that Fencer ability give Evasion and Block each time use, with proper cycling. you can deal continues damage while remain untouched by physical atk. Going Peltasta you can have godly evasion, with Archer evasion buff it even more better.
Thus IMO, Fencer is a good class to mix with Defensive Class. Despite people might preffer going pure DPS build. I still think Pure DPS have lots of Flaw.
aside those stated above there were not many skill can be used with fence.
The most popular were Frenzy and Warcray. both dont have 100% uptime, you wasting your time collecting stacks, and only moderatly usefull when Bossing.
