Best fencer build? strong self, dps.. potential solo pvx?

Im a swordman > pelt > barba c3 > fencer c2

Constant dps is great. You dont need much setup but just need to know how to rotate your skill. Long cd barba skill sync well with your fencer skills since fencer are one of the most heavy mana usage class in the swordsman tree.
Pouncing is underrated and I freaking love it on bossing. With the new buff where the aoe is increased and hit a bit faster. I see it a good asset in mobbing aswell.

Get venier if you want a long lasting weapon which also increase your spr and fencer skill by +2

Im using catacomb since im making a heavy crit fencer. I would say going venier is more solid than catacomb.

I also experienced problems when there is no krivis in the team and we have a priest… my frenzy keeps getting reset… so it becomes really useless.

I think frenzy needs some love

do u know much about cosair2>barb2 route? im still debating if i should just go barb3>f2 or cor2>f1

imo corsair c2 is the superior choise

How about Fencer1 and Doppel1, i mean Slash vulnerable with Lunge and then Cyclone will be great right?

Ide like to know as well.

sorry for the late reply lol.

Im not sure of cor2 > f1 is better than Barb3.

All the new patch on ktos and more to Barb3 which is much better especially the warcry reduce cd(alot of skill got cd reduce on barb tree). You get more dmg from it that last for a long time.

I prefer going barb c3 instead of corsair c2

Yes thats another possibility. But the long cd from cyclone isnt that good. You have to wait for your next cyclone to do the combo when you can just go fencer c2 and spam att composee which does more dmg with ignores armor with attaque coqui and has 0cd (tbh would deal higher dmg than cyclone) and sept + preparation combo which deal pretty high dmg, problem with fencer is it lack the AOE but hey? Fencer is all about single target constant dps with sustain!

Could you, plase, say your stats?

No matter what you do.
Fencer should always remember, the inherent weakness of Fencer were to sumarized.

  1. 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.
  2. Fencer lack of Lockdown, low mobility, and being an Evasion class. Fencer will always strugle to be competitive in pvp.
  3. 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.

Point invested

77 str
32 con
0 int
18 spr
186 dex

Honestly the spr is a mistake. I prefer putting it on con more than spr.

this is my stat currently. (lvl 279 fencer) I do not have petamion/karacha/any high end gears yet. Will try and get my equips if i ever get lucky with my dungeon runs Shrugs

Planning to go the same route. You mind giving an idea on what skills you took as a barbarian?

My friend go like this sword>pelt>barb2>cosair>doppel>fencer lol it look funny but it good
