See my picture above, SP pots isn’t my problem. That pot alone nearly restores all my sp.
also it takes about 1 hour with squire repairs for my items to burn, in fact my weapon dies first…
That’s not the point.
The point is it’s still very slow, inefficient and expensive. Better to group up and let the archers/wizards do the damage and get heals from clerics.
You have probably found the build you want, but here…
GLHF!
You get less money that way. I got 3 Terraniums, 1 through JR stealing.
That alone is a lot of money.
The fastest farmer for this area though seems to be Krivis3>druid>kabbalist
also as a reminder solo grinding there you get about 500 silver for each blue nuka that gives silver. not counting JR steal because they’re probably around 100 per JR silver steal.
You are correct with Archers and Wizards farming better, but that doesn’t mean solo farming as a swordsman that is capable of doing so is worse than a swordsman partying for silver. You can try out Doppel Corsair which has more aoe attack ratio for farming, because fencer AOE attack ratio really sucks with 3 targets using Vubbe Fighter Gauntlets.
Hexen.
The Warrior class there is a dual wielding tanker (or DPS) that parry attacks crossing the blades. And can furiously pierce the enemy multiple times.
It also can increase the party DPS applying defense reduction to enemies, and can dodge a lot.
Highlander seems to fit you well for that, I suggest a mix of highlander and corsair. you can also put doppel in if you like to solo farm
You will need to do quite a lot of switching for Cross Guard combo though
actually you mentioned dual wield parrying, nothing for that. unless you count in fencer flanconnade which is doable with whatever fencer weapon combination anyway
And if I decide to get Swash, thats another swap.
How does Cross guard pierce debuff works?
And it stacks wi Coquille?
Yep, I was considering Flan to replace the parrying.
Problem is your setup takes too much effort, preparing all those pots, going back to repair, concentrating hard during your grind, praying to RNG gods for drops, etc. - not to mention lag, if someone has 200+ ping it’s very hard (and frustrating)to play skill-spam heavy classes like Fencer, your dps literally drops a ton due to your ping stopping you from spamming skills as fast.
Much easier just to get into a party and taunt.
EXP yes, silver no. My silver rate when party grinding in maven, storage and workshop is actually bad, which is why I’m soloing from this point on, it’s just about a few hours grind to 280 anyway so exp no longer matters.
And once I get things like Gladiator Band or headgears for aoe attack ratio, or even damage attributes which are all 0% currently, I wouldn’t need more sp as I can target more, which is a fencer problem.
I’m not even sure anymore if you’ve experienced solo grinding for silver, even vedas plateau gives a lot of silver solo compared to party grinding higher level maps
You know some people actually like having to have some skill and a level of focus to play a class. Not just press one button and done. I also thought pots were a problem - until I met Lostac’s gimmick thread. Only thing I can agree with is rapiers need a lot of repairs, but honestly? Not a big deal to me. Investing in two is recommended anyway.
Luckily the only real lag I experience is in towns and boss fights. And it’s still manageable.
I suffer from ping issues at the moment, which is an absolute pain in the ass to deal with, hence solo grinding is hard to pull off.
Judging from your video you don’t have to deal with ping issues so it’s probably better for you I guess
Oh and for anyone feeling the optimization burn, incoming
Rejoice, this mait it should improve.
Yes this patch would be a nice help to the issues we’ve all being experiencing.
However my ping issue is more to do with my own internet, my situation’s not easy to fix so unfortunately I’ll have to rely on partying until this gets fixed 
Awe, sorry to hear. I know particularly SEA users are having issues in the ping department, and crap nets is meh. Had it for a long while myself.

Sorry, I’m no Highlander+Fencer player to test that out, but it requires some time and effort to trigger so it’s not the best combo, you can go on with your barb I suppose, it’s what a lot of fencers do anyway
but if you still like to try and found out that relying on cross guard combo is bad, you can still do Cross Cut>Lunge>Skyliner combo, and a nice Moulinet afterwards if Lunge is still there after 3 skyliners.
Guess I’ll keep my Barb, maybe put some points in Frenzy. Don’t seem to be a bad ideia to use it with DWA to get some extra damage against bosses. (and I don’t need to give up some evasion to trigger the block)
Okay. I decided to get Corsair 2 and, because I like tanking, Peltasta 1.
And don’t know what else.
This is what I decided until now:
For rank 7, I not sure if I go with:
Fencer for Lunge, Coquille and Flanconnade, or…
Doppel for Cyclone and Deeds of Valor.
Opinions, please.
it’s a matter of preference from that point on
Fencer further improves your pierce attacks and your corsair burst, while gaining defensive abilities
Doppel provides the best slash aoe and possible dps on swordsman tree, also better farming abilities with flag+cyclone
Hard.
Which seems to be the most well rounded?
