Fencer [Preparation] Does not actually give 2x damage only around 1.6-1.67

Please fill in as much as you can :

Date and Time : everytime

Game Control Mode (Keyboard/Joypad/Mouse) : controller

Where it happened (which map, which quest, which npc, etc) : anymap

Bug Description :
(letting us know what you were doing before, during, and after the bug happened will help us a lot)

Steps to reproduce the issue :

  1. Pick 1 monster, do not buff your self with anything
  2. use Sept Etiole on the monster & record min non crit damage
  3. use Preparation followed by Sept Etiole on monster & record min non crit damage
  4. Preparation does not give 2x damage as what is described in the skil ldescription Twirl the tip of your sword to parry an enemy attack and prepare for the next attack. “The next [Pierce] attack you make will inflict twice as much damage.”

Opinion on Fencer: Compared to other swordsman class, damage in burst or DoT for fencer is very disappointing. Buffing skills like Sept Etiole, Attaque Composee, Preparation (make it do 2x actual dmg), Lunge by increasing their dmg or decreasing their cooldown would attract more people into playing this class. Everyone seems just to go for Shinobi or Dragoon

remove all elemental damage, arde, etc.

haven’t tried with etoiles yet

basic pierce attacks
978 - no prep
1956 - prep

ok now tried with etoiles
1635 - no prep
3270 - prep

Must be elemental damage.

Explains it, thanks. So it s just strictly pierce skills not including elementals

I’m using venier tho which is also elemental, but do keep in mind about the target’s element, other modifications, etc etc

the monster i tested on was prison fighter, with only venier equipped, so I’m not really sure but the test result was accurate that it gave double damage

thanks dude, still with the 2x damage Fencer DPS is too low compared to Dragoon or Shinobi
