Difference between Corsair C2 -> Fencer VS Corsair C2 -> Shinobi

Class and Rank Swordsman

Hi all!

I need input as to what the advantages and disadvantages of going Fencer or Shinobi after Corsair C2.

What I know:

Advantages - Fencer

  1. Access to Rapiers
  2. I am aware that the Corsair is primarily a STR-heavy class and Fencers are usually encouraged to go high DEX (is a high STR Fencer too weird?)

Any input is appreciated. :slight_smile:

Some Strength is very nice for Fencers as rapiers have very low base attack and they deal mostly with quick, successive strikes. They favor a very healthy balance between Strength and Dexterity.

A lot of Shinobi players actually pump Dex fairly hard because it benefits their clones quite a bit. There are more experienced Shinobi players that could give you far more advice on the class than I can though.

I see. Cool!

Shinobi’s seem really squishy from what I’ve researched. Fencers, on the other hand, have a fairly high dodge rate, making it an easier class to play.

Shadow clones seem really cool though.

You would be correct in assuming that Fencers are naturally far tankier than Shinobi.

I’m going Corsair C2>Fencer, my stat allocation is 3:1 STR/DEX stats are currently:

STR: 64
CON: 17
INT: 5
SPR: 6
DEX: 166

So many critical hits, currently level 132 on Corsair C1
