A class that will grant more buffs for an already buffed and meta-class? No, thanks. Although the class itself is very interesting, but it may lead to a OP combo among Fencer - Matador - MK, since it will be pure Pierce DMG classes (considering that IMC would take your idea).

The main problem in your concept for MK class is that is fullfiled with buffs and debuffs and this is an issue, since it will be very hard to balance in the current . Most classes mix in 2-3 pure buffs, 1-2 debuffs, and attack/control skills. Most of your described skills grants buffs with high values, maybe it should be highly nerfed, for instance: Crimson Blessings is almost the same thing as Preparation skill is, both of them cannot be used at same time. Empaleur de lune it Reduced Defense should be reduced from 20% to 10% (remember there is a cap value of reduction defense) and Pierce Damage from 40% to 20%. Dark Moon reduced from 2.5% to 1.5%.

Beside that, IMC loves creates classes that has some historic background, so before everything it is necessary to find any rapier-knight in France history that would fit in this concept.

I like the suggestions and the idea of another Rapier class that could be cross-compatible with one-handed spear. But Spear/Rapier both have plenty of final damage, so i don’t think that the new class should be focused on enhancing damage any further, especially in Rapiers case.
I would focus on adding more attack skills, and maybe a self-contained minigame kinda like Arquebusier-tier of power. (Not like clown+vaivora pls)

:distinguished: no worry, just an idea :satisfaction:

but you got the point , maybe its Overpowering. but i just wanna have another class using rapier and spear, [ pierce property ] :haha:

I would rather see a class based on the italian school of fencing, since the french school was already covered via the fencer class and the spanish Destreza is kind-of represented by the matador class.

So a fencer in the Dardi school then. Who could be more defensive oriented with shield and have an option for 2h combination as well with thrusting/piercing moves considering they taught wielding the 2 handed Spadone. This way it could be both combined with fencer/mata and possibly Highlander/Doppel/BB

Yeah, it could be easily made general purpose, just throw some attribute here and there to give some specific advantages depending on the class. Albeit, due to how they’re making all the classes vaivora-oriented, it will still end up favoring a specific weapon type.
Either way, it would be nice to finally have three rapier classes so that you don’t necessarily have to rely on barbarian simply because there just is no other class that has enough skills that can be used with a rapier…

The worst thing is that Barbarian is the Jack-all-trade for all builds: Lance, Sword (2H or 1H+Dagger) and Fencer. Maybe a rework on Barbarian would solve this issue, as well a rework on Hoplite to be the Lance-buffer class, and this hypothetical fencer class be the buffer for Fencer-Matador composition.

Yea but since there already are 2 rapier vv’s the new only doesn’t necessary need one as well. Thats where i feel they are kinda dumb when it comes to the use of vv. You could easily make it another weapon type and open up more class builds. So in this instance, this class could have piercing and slash type atks, som defensive oriented skills and be open for rapier+dagger, rapier+shield, 1h sword+dagger, 1h sword+shield and 2 hand wep. And the vv could be a 1h sword.

So if paired with fencer/mata. You use fencer or mata vv.
If paired with shield classes perhaps, you use the vv for this class (1h sword), perhaps even open up the option on mixing in fencer+rode and make that shine.
If paired with HL, doppel or bb you use their respective vv’s

To be fair, the same thing could be said for the sword and two handed swords, it’s not like there are few of them either. It’s just that aside from fencer and matador there just is no other rapier class to make rapiers for, so unless they make multiple ones for the same class, they wouldn’t have other chances to make one.

And making such a class too much “general purpose” would likely make it too strong in some gimmick build and cause nerfs to everything else. Just look at fencer and matador for that…the last nerfs were due of a channel build performing too well…except that they don’t even have a single channel skill and the channel skill in question is a barbarian one that mainly used those two classes as buff classes.
The class could just be limited to one handed sword/rapier + dagger/shield in that regard, Even then there would be the issue of the skill type, as rapier classes have bonuses on pierce, and a one-handed swordie with BB would have bonuses on slash, so unless they make those skills multitype, one of the builds would miss out (or there would be less skills to vie for in general). So, well, things wouldn’t be simple either way.

True, but I would have wanted to see that happening for vv’s in the first place. When it comes to the skills, it could either be solved with arts or vv changing the type of atk for some skills. And usually you can’t use all skills in a skill tree either.

I just feel they passed up on a good opportunity when it comes to vv’s. I feel it would have been much better if they used vv’s to open up more diversity in class builds instead of still keeping classes in their respective formulas with 1,2 out of 3 vv’s completely ignored. Cause in most cases, there is only 1 vv to go and the others are just considered trash. I feel this is more true in the swordsman tree compared to wiz for example. In wiz tree you pretty much just go with the vv for the main class you have but that might change in the future.
