Futur Fencer question

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

First english is not my native language.
I’m planning to go fencer at rank 6, but i have some interrogation :

  • do i use leather/plate or cloth ? im now using plate because of the bonus hp for magical attack and the stamina help me run faster during lvling (im lvl 108 with 40 stamina with riena set) and the physical defence is ok i think if i don’t dodge
    -Does fencer deal good damage ?
    -Is it a good class for end game content ?
    -I am swordsman=>Petl=>barb c2 atm, i’ve planned to go barb c3 but is there any other choice viable here or barb is just better? Because i want more skill and if i take bard c3 it’s just for seism/warcry/helm chopper (i don’t get why people using cleave instead of helm chopper.I explain why : Helm chopper lvl 10 (0 point in the attribute) one shot every single mob or almost and u can’t stun boss then what is the point of maxing cleave ? now i’m just using it lvl 1 for the crit bonus). I can :
    sword/pelt/barb c3/fencer c2
    sword/petl/barb c2/corsair/fencer c2
    sword/petl/barb c2/corsair c2/fencer
    i like the 3 but wich one is better for dealing damage and end game content?
    -What about add a Doppelsoeldner at rank 6 sword/pelt/barb c2/corsair/doppel/fencer?
    -What do you guys think about fencer i’m not talking about visual i guess we all ok with the fact fencer is the swaggest swordsman’s class :^)
    PS : about stats is it worth it to spend some point on spr for mana? for the other stat i’m gonna see by my own.

1 - i use leather, but got a plate set too just in case
2 - yes, but doppel does a way better job at it
3 - not sure about this, only explored upto 200 content on cbt2
4 - barb 3 is good since they are getting cooldown reduction on buffs like warcry and frenzy, you also get frenzy attribute, but i skipped barb 3 because I like my corsair farming abilities
4.2 - helm chopper>cleave does about triple the damage. cleave has a bonus multiplier on stunned enemies so seism>cleave or helm chop>cleave works
5 - up to your playstyle
6 - i remember trying out a full spr wizard, bad idea. you still run out of sp and only sp pots can save you, sometimes they’re also not enough for fencers

thx for the fast answer (because maintenance i guess ^^).
I know that about cleave but as i said i never have to use cleave on trash and we can’t stun boss that’s why i’m asking for this but maybe latter mob get more hp then cleave gonna be usefull.
I’ve planned barb c3 cuz i tought it is more viable but i want to add at least corsairC1 even c2 for dwa but idk.

yes you will find it useful later on and use helm chop only for stunning, but at lv 1 it does do a good amount of damage

hum ok 'im gonna resest skill when needed then.
ANd i asked for class choice because i want o play a class i love for sure but i don’t want to get stuck at high lvl with an useless class who deal no damage or not even tanking anything. i saw only 6 highest dps got cube on world boss i want those cube ^^
