Yes, as proxied explained a whole lot of your evasion comes from a 2 slotted boots so somewhere around 950-1k+ evasion with 300-400 crit rate
Don’t mean to go off on a huge tangent here but this is also a problem I have with higher rarity/level gear like virtov. They only have one slot. It’s pretty damn annoying.
yeah, I’m only considering vitov myself because the 3 set combo seems to be useful, I’ll miss my rokas but I still get to keep my Vubbe Glove.
I have few question.
- Are u sure str vs dex only 10% diff? With new buff from ktos, i think high str build more better.
- Instead of evasion, doesnt it much better to utilize block skill fencer had?
- Im trying to build fastest 1vs1 pve fencer. So im not include pelt in my build. Does sw c3 better alternative for it?
- Does gung ho really fall off at high lvl? It increase our base damage unlike conc.
Im sure conc will be buff later on like blessing to make it viable until rank 8 content ( pure prediction from me).
What is your stats distribution for the Barb2-Cor2 build ? Pve mostly.
I can’t see if the reply was directed to me or other posts in the thread but
1 - str build is really better if you are aiming for damage and only damage. for barb builds (as what’s in the guide) str is only raw damage, but for highlander variants it’s much more significant with cross cut bleeding and cross guard proc rate
2 - No matter how fast you spam it, you can only block single or very fast hits with flanconnade block, consider things like minotaur’s fire breath in saalus, or poata’s roar in missions, or a massive amount of Elmas (or other mobs with knockdowns/knockbacks) in that situation as a str build with pain barrier off there is absolutely no way you could fight reliably head-on, you’d have to either kite which already lowers your dps a little or wait for your pain barrier again.
3 - I think I’ll just take highlander there for you to have a better skill set VS strike types, it’s pve afterall, the difference of your damage buffs is very little, but if you insist you can go after it, just remember you are losing out in many things just to get that very small advantage on 1v1 mob pve
4 - Yes. you’re not a doppel, and concentrate adds damage on hit, not base damage. Let’s say my attaque composee does two hits of 4.4k each, totaling at 8.8k, with concentrate it becomes 9k.
I’ve heard that Str is good for multi hit skills which in this build are Hexen and Sept.So with that amount of Str, Will it be enough to deal some decent dmg/burst with those skill ? Also, How much critical rate should I aim for in order to get a good amount of crits on lvl 280 mobs and bosses ?
Yes, you can get a decent amount of damage with that str, but with incoming ktos buffs this may or may not change, we’ll see. The real reason why str is prioritized anyway for most physical dps is because you get 10% bonus per rank, remove that and str’s appeal will be far less than what it is now.
For the crit rate, check the last video on my first post, if that rate of crit satisfies you for near level 280 monsters, 300-400 crit rate is ideal
The problem is we don’t even know if those buffs will be apply to iToS ot not 
yes, the game was designed for us to reroll every time there’s something more efficient. So I just gave up and go with what’s making me happy/satisfied for the time being
If so, maybe I’m gonna stick with 2:1 or even 1:1 Dex:Str ratio for safety.
From their Q&A
"4. Are you working on any Swordsman balancing issues?
We expect to implement some changes on the Korean servers as soon as next week. These changes will include improving the attack scope of a few skills and increasing STR stat bonuses."
Yea, so its Korean Servers first. So its probably another month of testing, if we are lucky? nothing certain…
I’ll just continue leveling my Fencer for 300 DEX , 120 STR , Rest into CON.
Edit Lostac has always been my inspiration~ kyaa!!

We need these buffs soon so I could actually hoard talts faster!
That aside, @minakoroshi161 you could survive the game without spending all your stat points on str/dex, meaning you could save some like around 20. But if we’re talking about you needing con that’s a different story.
gosh… the hording of Talt is strong in this one.
…that amount of lewt…
That stats is without items equipped right ?
I’ve already put in 30 con and I think it’s enough tho.
