Rapier & Pistol

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

So, this is interesting. Looking through fencer’s skills, I noticed the “Required stance” stated in them includes Rapier & Pistol. Yet the only way you’re going to be able to equip that setup is with Fencer at Rank 8 since Equip Pistol requires Corsair C3 which will set you back at Rank 7 already.

Is there anyone who have attempted at such a build? How did it turn out for you?

This is obviously a discussion for a pure concept build. So it’s NOT going to be anywhere near Meta(unless there’s an undiscovered hidden mechanic that would :scream:).

theoretically it would be good. Fencer has a pierce debuff skill which works great for corsair’s hexen. There are some reckless people who went sw- pelt- hop 2- corsair 2- fencer- corsair 3 since their rank 8 got imc’ed. Hexen is your only dps though.

Just hope we get jolly roger patch to make corsair more like a support type like falconer.

Wow, I was starting to thing this post would never get a response lol

Thanks for your input. :smile: That’s Interesting. It seems Attaque Coquille would be a Spear Lunge equivalent for the existing Hopsair builds.

So it seems FencerR1 grants you both Slash and Pierce debuff skills. Seems like Highlander would be a good choice for the earlier circles.

Hop2->Fencer? Well there’s your problem lol. I personally have a Hop3 Corsair3 at Rank8. Isn’t the best of the best but it’s still working out pretty well for me :grin:

flanconnade is only spamable skill in fencer1

and it is slash type

if you going to use this skill, take barb1 for cleave

use lunge and cleave to boost slash damage

you can take barb2 as classical corsair (but it’s weak one)

hop is stronger and pierce type synegy with corsair hexen

#5

Is there a good reason to be spamming Falconade? Attaque Coquille also has a pierce debuff. How does that compare?

#6

flanconnade can block enemies attacks with a right timing (melee and ranged types, excluding magic ones)

#7

Well noted on that. But spamming Flanconnade can be quite SP intensive T_T

Aside from that, Is there any difference between Attaque Coquille and Spear Lunge from Hoplite? Both decreases piercing defense. Albeit Attaque Coquille doesn’t have overheat =/

#8

afaik, they stack (more dmg)

similar to my doppel c3

cleave + zwerchhau
massive damage increase

and the difference between those 2 is that spear lunge even if you invested alot of skill points to it, the debuff itself will remain at 6 seconds as maximum compared to attaque coquille which gives a 1+ second bonus per skill level

#9

S.Lunge=while debuff is active Pierce damage x1.5
AttaqueC.=while debuff is active Pierce damage def ignore

#10

By stack I assume you meant Attaque Coquille and Spear Lunge. Unfortuantely one requires a rapier and the other requires a spear XD

My initial Idea was HLC3>CorsairC3>FencerC1. Having both the slash and pierce debuff from Attaque Coquille and Lunge to buff the skills of their respective damage type. And IIRC, pistol shot is also affected by Piercing debuff from Spear Lunge as well.

The rotation of the skill usage seems quite a bit messy right now. Think imma be holding off on this build for the moment.

Really dig the Rapier + Pistol setup. Unfortunately, can’t really construct a half decent build that would make it work :dizzy_face:

Nice! That’s interesting. How’s your build right now? Care to share your experiences with it?
