I know I posted this question in a few topics so I apologize if it’s getting annoying but I just want to find info on my favorite class is all.
So would anyone happen to have any info on Fencer’s c2 skills?
im really curious of what Attaque Composee actually is, as well as any new attributes or c2 skills for fencer.
Maybe many months later since it only available 7 ranks in kOBT atm
And fencer is rank 6…
Which allows you to get fencer’s c2 right now…
Attaque Composee is just a single (or maybe 2?) hit attack with eh damage.

Preparation is a channeled stance that increases your Block Rate by 55% (+5% per skill level) while holding the skill, with a duration of up to 4 seconds (+1 second per skill level. After releasing the stance, the next Pierce hit will do 2x damage
That’s all that C2 gets. No attributes besides Enhance.

Oh! Thanks!
Question, does the buff on your next piercing attack work on multi hit skills like lunge?
Like all hits deal double dmg?
Or just the first hit?
If its anything like Cloaking, just the first. If you have a rank in Hoplite, Piercing is the best skill to use it with. It’s one hit (it just shows up as multiple values, but it’ll get the full boost). Other than that, Lunge or Attaque Composee are the only other options really. They don’t lose much potential damage from what is only 2 hits to begin with, if Composee isn’t just one hit even in the first place.
Sept Etoille and Stabbing on Hop wouldnt get the full bonus, and you cant use Dragoon (That would be at rank 8 anyway) or Hop C2/C3 with a Rapier.
Attaque Composee deals 2 hits and it is Pierce-type damage, it also has a 0s cooldown just like Flanconnade. It is a pretty good skill.
Preparation only affects the first hit after it, so it was best used with Attaque Composee or Lunge (with a high skill level, since it scales decently), or Pierce if you went with a Hoplite build and have a high level of that skill, but that is unlikely.
We had access to both skills (Fencer C2) during the past beta thanks to the exploit madness that happened during the last days.
Edit:
Overall Fencer C2 felt pretty solid.
While Preparation isn’t that needed, you get more points for the rest of your kit and even then you are gonna wish you had more points since most of the skills are all good.
My favorite thing about Fencer C2 is that you have two 0 cooldown skills of different types, Slash (Flanconnade) and Pierce (Attaque Composee), which allows you to deal insane amounts of damage if you spam for as long as your SP lasts, and it also gives you the opportunity to clear normal mobs only using those 2 skills, while saving your big cooldowns for when you really need them.
You will certainly never run out of things to deal damage with.
After maxing out those 2 skills, I maxed out Lunge as it scales pretty decently and it is a skill that you will often use, especially if you went with a Barbarian build (Seism and Cleave).
The rest of the skills had 1 level on them, while Sept Etoiles got the rest of the points (all of this while using Venier which adds +2 to every Fencer skill).
I do think there is another way to allocate points, by maxing out Attaque Coquille and Attaque Composee (maybe Sept Etoiles or Preparation too) for high Pierce-type DPS. But overall the way I did it fits more my playing style.

Sept Etoiles scales like crap tho, I thought it’s only use was building frenzy stacks quickly.
Unless frenzy won’t build on skills…
And are you sure that Attaque Composee is 2 hits?
The video makes it look like 1 hit…
I only see one stab and one number
Also are there any benefits to going Hoplite over Barb?
Besides having stabbing and piercing?
Frenzy doesn’t stack on skills, only auto-attacks.
I am pretty sure Attaque Composee is 2 hits, I used the skill myself.
No other benefits from picking Hoplite, besides the ones you already listed (Pierce and Stabbing).
That’s… Interesting…
I’m not sure if I want to go Paltes-> Barb3-> Fencer now…
Fencer is obviously a skill spammer no questions asked.
After I asked that question I went to look up some of yours and other people’s fencer videos, only one person actually worked to stack frenzy and ended up just stopping at 10 stacks because the duration was almost over.
while you activate it… But don’t stack it…
Your biggest burst seems to come from when you use war cry.
So… I think highlander might be a better pick then Barb, sure it can’t mob as effectively but mobbing is not really difficult in the first place.
Plus it kills bosses faster and gets more options out of lunge.
It’s better for PVP and and gets more armor shred then Barb.
I’m thinking either highlander c3 or Barb c2, I just don’t see a reason to c3 it on fencer now
- Barbarian C3 gives you a lot more damage to your skills, it also gives you Giant Swing and Pouncing which are mainly PvP skills. As well as better attributes for Frenzy and Warcry.
- Lunge’s buff only lasts 4 seconds, so you will always have options to use it with on both builds.
- Neither of them (Highlander or Barbarian) kill bosses faster, they are both pretty slow.
- Both are good for PvP. Highlander has debuffs while Barbarian has hard CC.
- Don’t pay too much attention to my videos in regards to Frenzy and Warcry. I never made any video about using them, and on the videos I have I never cared about using them the best way possible.
- You want Peltasta as a Fencer, not only because of Swash Buckling (+25% extra HP), but also for Guardian (+18% evasion) which is really good on a Fencer.
It still just seems like fencer builds frenzy stacks too slow…
Might be better to just not pick it up in favor of war cry
Yeah, you favor Warcry over Frenzy, since you mostly use skills. Trying to stack Frenzy then deal damage is just inefficient as a Fencer.
