Mixing Doppel and Fencer

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

Hey I thought up this build where you mix Doppel and fencer together. I was wondering if this build was worth my time.

Stats will probably be 1 str : 2 dex : 1 con with 30 spirit

The reasoning I had behind this combo was that doppel would provide some AOE damage on top of barb while fencer provided some form of survivability. And on top of that the Lunge into Cyclone combo seems pretty nice.

So what do you guys think, should I attempt this build or just go with a full C2 of either doppel or fencer?

Deeds of Valor is more for an auto-attacking style, while Fencer is more for skill-heavy style, so those two kind of don’t work very well together. Plus the evasion from Fencer wouldn’t help you proc it. You’d basically be getting Doppel for Cyclone, and that’s just 1 skill. Sure it’s good, but one more rank for one or the other would probably bring a lot more to the table.

Yea pretty much like what Windful said. Doppel’s Deed of Valor requires you to get hit to stack up the damage increment. Fencer is more to evasion type of class and also Fencer is more to spamming skills. However Barbarian’s Frenzy needs to be stack up by normal hitting so spamming skills does not count.

You could try Hoplite C2 > Corsair > Fencer C2 or Hoplite C2 > Corsair C2 > Fencer

Thank you for your input, would you recommend Fencer or Doppel with my current build?

I probably should’ve said this in my post, but I’m already Barb c3. From this point how do you think I should advance? From what you said Frenzy doesn’t seem to work well with fencers, so should I just go doppel C2?

Oh you are the same as me. I am having similar dilemma too last time. End up going Doppel C2 cause the insane Deed of Valor adds 100% damage and Cyclone lvl 10 :smiley:

Another choice would be Doppel > Dragoon. Kinda new meta.

But u can also go for Fencer C2. Not to say you can’t since I still see some people going this route.

The best synergy seems to be Doppel, from Barb, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only good way. Fencer is fine, if you want to branch into using more skills. If you like to move around a lot, like me, like with auto-attacking or with cyclone, then Doppel’s your way. I’m also considering Shinobi even without Corsair, it could still be good…I think. Dragoon would be interesting too. It wouldn’t be quite as good as having gone Hoplite, but it’s strong too.

Check the differences and see what feels best to you. Dragoon would only be after one rank of doppel or fencer, so for now decide what you like best between auto-attacking or being skill-heavy. (you might need more spr if you go for Fencer, that’s another thing)
