Now that we finally have info for R8 swordsman, I’d like to hear what people think about the new skills we’re getting and what role (pvp vs pve) the class may take in general.
The two skills that stand out most to me are Epee Stance and Balestra Fente because they work so well together, but I feel like this class seems weaker than some of the other options at this rank, such as Dragoon C2 and Murmillo.
What stat builds do you think are going to stand out once we get fencer C3? Do you think this circle will be able to compete with the others in terms of damage?
Well, for me i think that c3 fencer seems to be the stronger of them all,of course talking about only rank 8 benefits, did you see that damages?, since it is a self buff damage, it can be used together with dragon2 debuff for even more damage, where the dragons can be seen high damage from the debuff right know, but can not be use together with other dragons , only one time would apply.
i will not even start with the critical resistance too, since we do now if it is a flat value or % but most of things that made dex builds not worth for damage(for SW) at later stages was because critical resistance of mobs would also keep growing, so if the level level was not problem enough, the growing aspect of the critical resistance is a lot of trouble since is hard for SW to increase his critical rate, so now we can not only receive a debuff for critical resistance, we will also receive a huge buff for critical damage
if this was not enough we receive a extra buff in pvp aspect with the disarm.
well until real numbers come out we can not say for certain but the only verdict so far is that fencer 3 is OP.
i m looking forward to Fencer C3
tbh we Fencer C2 have no choice but go for C3
both Epee Stance and Balestra Fente seem to be a savior for high DEX fencer
yet, the issue remain, how the formula work
a fix number like GungHo and War-cry or scale with multiplier
I’m leaning towards multiplier. The first gif was critical damage 200% which could be level 1 > 150% base + 50% additional. The 2nd gif was like 400% which could explain it being level 5. Which could mean we could x 5 damage when we crit if we factor in venier.
