Jolly Roger Fencer build

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

Hey,

I been trying different builds for the past few days, i tried to come up with something that has good tanking capability, sustaining good DPS and offering some kind of benefit to a party.
In addition, will also allow me to play PvP if i will so desire.

This is what i came up with:

I have tried to create good synergy between the classes:

Tanking is mostly done with Evasion and Swash buckling, CC is maintained through several Stun abilities from Barb and Sword.

AOE comes mainly from Cleave and Seism, both with overheat so i shouldn’t be running out of CDs.

For burst Damage i tried to synergize Fencer Piece attacks with Hexen Dopper, Attaque Coquilla is here to increase that damage.

Since Corsair uses Dagger off-hand, i guess it also benefits from pierce? so double weapon assault also goes nicely.

I don’t know how good is Dust devil, but on paper it looks neat.
And if i will want to go deep into PvP i can always move points to Hook and Keel.

Finally, Jolly roger should be a nice party or solo buff for some DMG increase and extra silver gain, i think a party will glad to have that in a dungeon run.

Any feedback would be very welcome.

I am going to something similar, and from the feedbacks i received, the build seems viable (and fun for me).

Edit: As I know, If u plan to pvp, you sould invest on iron hook and, since you plan to use AA with double weapon assault maybe it would be good to have frenzy? idk, besides that i think everything is ok

I would go either barb 3 - c2 or barb 3 - fencer 2.

  • Barb 3 c2 is more suited for c2 cause of autoattacks. So both warcry and frenzy can increase your dps at which point Id lower points into seism and have high cleave and helm chopper, while having frenzy and warcry maxed.

  • Barb 3 fencer 2 is a heavy skill based build, you wont get much autoattacks in - in which case I wouldnt have frenzy in but high in cleave, helm chopper, seism and 10 on warcry.

My build is mostly based around skill usage, as fencer and barb has lots of them.
C2 also adds Hexen and DMG buff, which synergizes perfectly with fencer, and gives some very big burst damage.

So auto attacks are going to be in the minimum.

I just don’t like Barb3 cause frenzy isn’t going to be used, and stacking 10 stacks when monsters die in 2 seconds is just wasted unless your bossing.
10/10 Seism is the only motive for Barb3 but i don’t think its worth it just for that.

Barb has more to offer then seism, and frankly seism is the weakest of 3 nukes. Between seism and cleave, cleave is the stronger. By far.

If youre going high skill usage definitely forget frenzy but keep warcry, in ideal conditions thats +600 physical attack that can be further multiplied through every multiplier out there including crit.

If its just between what to use, c2 corsair cs c2 fencer but you want both eventually - just consider what works better with barb 3 for better synergy just now and work up to the others with ranks opening up as content gets opened up.

Personally though I wouldnt miss out on barb 3, definitely not. If youre bent on getting corsair on rank 5 consdider a highlander c3 instead, for that skull swing among others or whatever its called. Armor break.

Well, i always prefer going for an extra class rather then upgrading existing one when it comes to Barb3 C2 or barb2 C2 Fencer, as fencer just provides amazing synergy with its pierce mechanics.

I built this build in mind that when rank 8 opens up il go to fencer C2.

But even so, if rank 8 opens up, i can always pick barb 3 if i so desire, right?

Yup, you’re free to build your character the way you want it, I’m just giving you my thoughts on your choices :grin:
