_hex_en literally means 6
"Sept etoiles" literally means “7 stars”
Blame the game/translation for that
(but we get 1 more hit out of it so why not)
I never really knew its literal translation but I take a Fencing class IRL and
In actuality Sept Etoiles is the name of a Fencing stance where you get into position to thrust the rapier…
So imma Blame IMC on the number of hits >_>
(Most of the Fencer skills are actual stances that you take with the rapier, with the except of Coquille, Toucher, Lunge and Prep really…)
I can’t count the hits, they’re too fast and jumpy.
There’s the possibility that the 3% chance for an extra hit from Venier is confusing people.
I guess it would make sense if it was 8 since the last hit isn’t a thrust.
use them on a dummy (lemprasa pond) I didn’t really count the hits before but I noticed it while I was doing saalus (destroying portals) where Sept was a total of 8 hits, and hexen did 7 when i played cor2 on cbt2
The problem is that Coquille already does Spear Lunge’s Job and for a longer duration or with 100% up time if you get it to lvl 5…
and since you already stated that Sept Etoiles with prep out dmg’s anything Hop could do in terms of raw pierce dmg numbers, then I guess Ill just stick to barb…
Its got better utility slightly fixes the AOE and STR issue with fencer, as well as AOE armor redux~
Yeah, hexen is hitting for 7 sometimes, 6 sometimes. Mostly 6.
My sept etoiles is level 4 with lvl 30 attributes. Also only wearing venier +4. It’s better with a linker. You only need to debuff one mob even before JP and it’s constant 8-9k crits on all mobs. I would assume I can hit 17-20k crits once my char is well geared at 280 and he dps will be a lot better if I went 75 dex 30 con and the rest is str according to the excel sheet anyway with my gears.

Wait, wait. Stabbing can be used with rapier?
Of course. Pierce too.
no coquille is armor break, spear lunge is basically pierce version of lunge.
go to worker loge and hit those boulders
ive tried sept like 10 times it all hits 8 times, unless im pretty lucky to keep procing venier.
sept = 8 hits
hexen 7hits
pouncing somewhat random around 23-27hits
Love it and subscribed.
what do you mean no?..
Thats basically what i said…
And I always seem to get 30 hits from Pouncing in iTOS (More in kTOS because it was sped up)
Wow, thanks for the video! That’s really impressive. For me personally though, I’d put even less dex and more con depends on what armor you are wearing. Plate then more dex, leather then less dex as you gain evasion every time you level up.
i mean coquille isnt doing spear lunge job.
More like an active version of stagger from cross guard…
I forgot that Spear Lunge is not an armor break lol
The deciding factor for me on this.
Would be if a Spear Lunge boosted, Stabbing and/or Pierce can out dmg Pouncing…
Which is essentially about 23-30 hits (dpending on ping it seems) dealing 1k base dmg each hit and boosted by 50-75% (for 5s) without its attribute…
Becuase if it can, then i might get back into TOS and try out a Hoplite Fencer
If not then i fear you are sacrificing a lot for a burst that can be out busted sorta easy.
Someone here craft me a Hop Fencer focusing on Dex pls. I’m itching to play my Barb but still can not decide which class to take at rank 4 so she is put on hold for a while now
stab+pierce ofc outdamages poucing
pouncing has idiotic 80s cd.
you can use stab 3times (its over 30hits already) and pierce 2 times.
I… dont think its over 30 hits…
And I thought pouncing had had 50s CD now, but I don’t see it in the patch notes so i guess not…
WELP Nvm then!
