Help~ I need some advise on my Fencer

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

Guys,
Kindly need some advise on my build if it works or any suggestions to improve it please~

http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/9cenneg4de/

Skill Rotation / Synergies:-

  1. Restain/Helm Chopper -> Pommel Beat (for small or normal mobs)

  2. Preparation -> Lunge -> Cleave -> Seism x 2 -> Cleave -> Attaque Coquille -> Sept Etoiles -> Attaque Composee -> Monster no die?! -> Embowel -> Turn Tail & RUN!!

Stat Dist (equipment bonus points not taken into account) :-
Dex : Str = 2 : 1
Till Dex Hits 200
Then,
Str = 200
Con = whatever balance points

Figured that by the time you hit 200 DEX & 100 STR, it should be around mid-late game level 100+.
Mobs will be harder to land CRIT and harder to EVADE mobs.

I’m taking more STR because, STR affects CRIT ATK and sustained dps. (I will want my CRIT that actually land on mobs to hurt more)
I’m taking CON as well due to drop in EVADE late game. (never hurts to have more HP)

I didn’t choose Pelt C1… cos i screwed up…but don’t wish to re-roll…

It’s better to get petalsta 1 than swordsman 2 because the extra damage you get from swordsman 2 isn’t too good in late game,Fencer is tank and DPS my Fencer with petalsta tank almost everything, can solo and tank all bosses. With Peltasta you get more Evasion, HP and block rate, i was in doubt about get this class when i start, now i think is the best class you can get for fencer. But it’s all about your play style! =]

if you want to go fencer I suggest dropping swordsman 2 immediately(I know you don’t want it, but it’s better to do it now than regret it even more later), not stopping you from it but taking peltasta on rank 2 alone will save you a lot of dex-evasion if that’s what you are after on dex. If you really don’t want to reroll go ahead.

I got 738 evasion currently at lv 216 and mobs hit me at a decent rate, the evasion is even lower without guardian attribute.

Prep>coquille>cleave>lunge>seism x2>cleave>sept fits into rotation and is better

but what I do is

Prep>coquille>cleave>sept>lunge>seism x2>cleave (I prefer using sept earlier)

Thanks guys, looks like not much choice left but to re-roll for max benefits hahaha.

@Lostac, your rotation actually makes more sense! I love it, thanks!

#5

I’ve re-rolled and is now level 160 atm.
never regretted getting pelt c1, Guardian is dope!!

Currently i have a dilemma, should i get crit atk gems or crit rate gems?
I’ve noticed that crit rates on mobs reduces greatly on higher level mobs, (maybe it might just be bad luck on my side…)

but what you guys think, yellow or green gems

Green, always

This is my Fencer build:


I’m about to advance to rank 6. Can you guys give some advices on my build?

#8

go fencer then corsair only if you want fencer, but honestly (i’m fencer my self) rapiers aren’t that good compare to other weapons (spears) because their range and aoe ratio falls hard… not even speak about durability, fencer skills are meh, they can keep dps, but only c1 is damn right, going c2 is nuts having others alternatives, corsair 2 offer more utility and better burst skills, you could go doppel at c6 instead of fencer then go corsair again, if you really want fencer then you could pick c1… but maybe fencer c3 will be awesome but we don’t know that yet.

#9

Thank you for your reply.
I really want to go for Fencer though. I intend to build a Tank/DPS hybrid that fun to play with and I think Fencer suits me well.
As for Corsair, I dont really like it that much, the only reason I pick it over Barb 3 is Jolly Roger.

#10

Almost the same as my build, Jolly roger level 5 will bring you far, that’s enough if that’s your purpose, the blocking attribute on it is very good.

Fencer C2 is really bad when compared to Corsair C2, but you’ll get your advantage if Fencer C3 gets nice skills, which is what I’m aiming for too.

#11

Just chimming in to thx you guys for your fencers advices. Started friday, about to hit barb c2, love it so far, cant wait for r6.

#12

Jolly Roger is a fanstatic skill, I give bonus dam, chance to block, MONEY which make it easier to find a party (Swash Buckling help too).
I have some questions though.

  • What do you think about Gung-ho? I find this skill is kinda uselss since I active Guardian all the time. Currently, I have 5 points in Gung-ho. After tomorrow maintaince when i get my hand on some tp, I intend to shift 3 point into Bash to get the knockdown attribute.

  • Warcry or Frenzy? Currently 5 points in Frenzy. To make use of Frenzy, I have to use all my skill, active Frenzy, hit boss till others skill come online agai. But when I get to Fencer, I don’t think I will have the off-time to hit the boss to stack Frenzy. And Warcry is more useful when farming so I’m think I’ll switch to Warcry too.

  • Leather or Plate? Since I invested most of my point in Dex (double the Str) plus Guardian and Fencer skill, I dont think I need the bonus Evasion from the Leather attribute and items. On the other hand, Plate items provide more survivability since some time Evasion won’t dodge ( I was frozen and beaten to death by 6 Loftlem in Main Chamber once).

#13

gung-ho is useful when dealing with magic-based monsters, or monsters that you could 1 hit while gung-ho is active

as fencer C2, frenzy sucks, at least warcry is usable on bosses that spawns traps, and while charging frenzy you could do more with either flanconnade on cloth or composee on leather

I would advise on having both. I used leather from 15-280 without switching, I do have my plate set ready in case, but I never used it. I used leather to main tank alemeth up till maven.

would doppel work with a fencer build out of curiosity?..
i like DPE… im a fan of thruma swell body …more loot lol…

O… pel for swash buckling im guessing =p… sigh swords man have it tough huh

was planning to make one after the tp compensation…maybe

#17

Mm my original plan for pelt was the guardian evasion, 18% evasion from a buff skill is pretty big.

Doppel-fencer works, but it might not be ideal when rank 8 comes
