I wonder if you really can’t use Synchro Thrusting with Rapier? I wanted to do an unusual fencer build and thinking about rank 3 class. Overall Hoplite C1 looks nice since 2 of it’s abilities can be used with rapier and they benefit from fencer pierce boost. But in Synchro Thrusting description on Tosbase it’s said that only Sword/Spear stances are avialble.
So I wonder if it’s confirmed that Synchro Thrusting can’t be used with Rapier?
All Hoplite’s skills are spear exclusive except Stabbing and Pierce. TOSBase info is accurate.
You better go Highlander because that’s the class that synergizes really well with Fencer.
He really replies everything before i manage to say the same exact thing. 
Actually for synchro thrusting sword/shield is possible, that’s why I though that Rapier/shield can also be possible. And what about highlander, I would prefer going highlander c1 hoplite c1, if using rapier with synchro thrusting is possible. This extra damage on stabbing looks nice. But peltasta c1 / highlander c2 also look good, but they simply don’t fit my original idea.
So I wonder if synchro thrusting is the only skill that can be used with sword but can’t be used with rapier, or description simply missed rapier part? Because I haven’t seen any other skill whith so strange stance restriction (sword but no rapier).
And I have one more question, about weapon swap. Is it possible to swap weapons effectively in PvP during combos, or it’s animation is too long for such moves?
I know. But rapier isn’t the same as sword in this game. That’s the problem.
Possible, only if your enemy get caught in CC, and if you don’t mind the slight “delay”.
It is possible, unless high Ping then youre suffering.
And i know what you think. Sword = Rapier.
Well no too bad but theyre not the same.
I know they are not the same, I just mean that for all the skills I remember if you can use sword then you can also use rapier.
The only skill not included in this rule is Synchro Thrusting. That’s why I wasn’t sure if description is correct.
And if it is, then I wonder if it was implemented on purpose, or devs simply “forgot” to add rapier here. Finally, how those required stances are uncovered, is there any ingame description that includes stances required?
Or did someone raise Hoplite-Fencer and uncovered that synchro thrusting isn’t working?
@Erokhi -sama
have you considered the new feature of auto-swapping? any skill will auto-swap now with the correct weapon requirement, if they are equipped in the swap pallet.
I’ve heard autoswapping works bad with high ping, and I think it’s what he meant when saying about delay.
Also how much weapon sets can you put into swap pallet? Can I use for example Rapier+Dagger, Rapier+Shield and 2H sword at the same time?
So far, only 2 sets are available.
Yep, just 2 apparently, for now, but im expecting it to stick that way.
