Guide to Fencer / Doppel / Bullet Marker [PVE]

I don’t see defense being a problem when they give us high base damage skills, it’s basically throwing big numbers against big numbers.

If high def is the problem there are many sources that can lower def, even cleric c1 can lower def greatly on a small area.

Eva, I don’t know, we have Lunge as backup anyway, low uptime but can be handy for those who can’t get to the cap for emergency uses.

my plan is just to do general pve content alone and sometimes with friends, and some pvp(just for fun)
between 35 and 70 con there is a hige gap, i’ll settle for 35 as a keystone to start with, and then decide later i suppose

thx for your time :smiley:

The Xbox One endurance is quite formidable. I can use it for nearly a week before changing a new battery.

@Lostac: The pdef problem will render lower rank skills rather useless since these skills don’t have high base damage. Unless you have 3k Patk, you will have to find it from rather expensive and time consuming sources such as Transcendence and refinement

that’s what their intent is in the first place…

also if you didn’t notice PA isn’t the only source of damage, we’ve got elemental attacks which is a big role for most classes, those with low PA use it at most.

Newbies will fall into a big trap making their own builds thanks to IMC. Master builders will have to look for useful skills that give status effects, buffs or anything worth using in late game.

Ele atk? How do you boost that furthermore? I only have about 500 from Karacha and Venier. No idea how to get more, except hair costume enchants of course

Imagine a corsair C3 with around 1k PA using dwa in those mobs:

How many days he will need to take down those mobs?
Rip AA swordies.

Uhh, look closely into meta builds now, you will realize that their cores rely on things that will boost their late game classes, with damage skills only as a bonus, welcome to tree of savior.

Ranger 3 > steady aim (bonus: barrage)
Archer 2 > Swift step c2 / Heavy shot Knockback (bonus: Multi attrib)
Wiz 3 > QC attribute (bonus: magic missile)
Linker > no need to explain
Swordsman 1-2-3> PB, restrain
Barb > Stuns, Warcry, Cleave (bonus: Pouncing, Stun combo damage)
HL > Cross guard, crown, skull swing (bonus: spammable slashes+cartar)
Hoplite > Spear lunge, Finestra+Attributes (Spear lunge is half the reason why hop2>cor2 exists)
No need to explain clerics, we know why we want and need them.

This is why there are several fun builds that are fun to play, but will definitely fail late game. welcome to tree of savior again…I guess?(for newbies who are exploring the game and experience their first reroll lol)

Forgot to say: they are implementing more/bettter Elemental attacks on R8, as well as specialties we get on SW classes (those gloves for example)

@Kascly yes, AA is something they need to fix, they promoted the game as AA+Skill based in the first place, I remember answering something regarding that in the CBT survey too

If they give some attribute to DWA similiar running shot will be great.

If you’re going pvp for fun, put at least 75 points on CON (it will turn out as 100 CON). It is a good number for any play. And try to consider going Corsair, they’re like meta for pvp swordsman.

Though, I recommend putting more CON in the case of going squire, as you will need some space for repair kits.

I also recommend finding a cleric friend or something alike to help you level, as it will be kinda hard with this build till you become Fencer3, as your build can’t save you from a big group of magic mobs like barbarian and highlander can. (if you play on silute, I might give you a hand)

@Kascly Like AAing with only one button while running? You know it would turn out to be an alternative Pouncing right?

i’ll sort of level with a group of friends :slight_smile: but thx for the offer! i’ll think about adding 75 CON

Worse thing for newbies is they will continue experimenting with their builds for months until they accept their fate and choose a meta dps build. A build that might look good on paper may or may not look good in game. I wonder whether have I left the newbie status or not.

AA? Manahas set might help that somehow. But honestly, I think AA Swordies might need somewhere 10k per AA or ultra-high Aspd to deal decent damage

I was thinking in something with additional damage only hehe.

Is Gung Ho ACTUALLY going to scale like Concentrate?

Because if so, then i think i know what to do with my 2nd Fencer
Sword3-Pelt1-Corsair1-Fencer3

No, not yet, but we can assume that it can happen

awe, got my hopes up :confused:

I might still do it… but thats A LOT of lost dmg…
and no slash coverage

you can still change corsair for barb and have 15 seconds of slash bonus damage for your flanconnade, as well as stun cleave combo

Rerolled some 130 cubes… I’m not doing that again. :slight_smile: I was weak and the button was there.

yeah IMO the only cube worth rerolling is virtov, I got the full leather set in less than a week and never needed to go back to that annoying dungeon ever again

And I perfectly know it! :smiley: Alas, today was the day of my weakness. Like buying 10 lottery tickets after years of buying a single one a week.
