That 2 seconds is enough for me to do a full Pouncing and 2 lv4 Cyclone. Might not matter much to a Fencer anyway.
After seeing the performance of a Hl3>Pelt>Fencer in the mission. She topped DPS all the run even against Archers (a Fletcher, a Wugu and 1 more I don’t remember). Granted, those Archers died a few times due to bad positioning and the Mole. But the Fencer was still impressive. Not sure if a Sw3 can reach that kind of performance
