Well, considering Fencer c3 gets a skill to decrease enemies crit resist and another to increase your own crit damage on targets, I would probably feel safer with a lower probability, stronger crit than a higher probability, weaker crit.
Though I’m honestly not very well informed about how Fencers c3 will work.
EDIT: Looking at a bit of info about Fencer c3, might be better you pick 1:1 or 2:1 DEX / STR 
I actually arrived at this for Lv280.
Gives me 49.95% + 1 DEX from quest will make it 50% crit rate versus a 120 crit resist monster (that’s pretty high) at Lv280. No Ellaganos yet, then at Lv330 the Ellas will take care of the rest.
Well thats like, 4:1 DEX / STR, might as well just go full DEX 
I would get more CON than just 26 points in it, though.
When they indicate ratios, does it mean invested or character window total? I’ve watched a few videos for Fencer 3 and they had about 250+ DEX overall and Glass Mole cards on.
At R8 I’ll only invest in STR then? What’s a comfortable CON amount for you? I’ll be wearing 3 pcs plate at least so P-Def will always be high.
That’s very close to my stats. I run 68/30/219 though 0 con is on my mind once I hit 330. I know a few 280 fencers with less than 20 con and they are doing just fine.
Cool! How’s your experience with these stats so far? Crit happening often enough? And does it hit hard enough that it actually makes sense? Are you on Ellaganos or Glass Mole or another card?
Using 3 ella and 4 glassmoles, 567 crit rate right now with lvl 6 gems and 2 sissels. Probably going to try hard for level 8 gems once everything else is set and I’m going 5 glassmoles. It’s decent to solo crystal mines, some saalus missions, and other stuff though. If you’re going barb c3, I think full ella is a strong option as well. There’s just such a huge diff between crit and non crit damage when fencer c3
Alright, that at least gives me some insight in the actual stat distribution I’m looking at, oddly enough this is my first and only SW and it’s so weird that the stats I came up with very closely resembled someone else’s.
I am also looking at putting in 3~5 Ellaganos at first, then taking out some to make room for Glass Moles, I’m aiming for somewhere in the ball park of 66.66% crit rate (solo) which at Lv330 I can achieve much easier because of the 0 crit resist debuff of Fencer 3.
Kewl, looks like I’m set.
Thank you to everyone that chimed in!
