Hey people! 
Iâm looking after a different build, with an aspect off the âexpectedâ curve. When analyzing the R8 new classes, I noticed that all Murmillo skills can be used with Rapier&Shield stance.
Does anyone know if this is true ingame? I saw it only in online planners, so have no idea. Anyway, I was planning a totally different build, ending up with Fencer 2>Murmillo 1, and the compatibility between these both classes is crucial to be feasible.
Thanks in advance!
Iâm not a fencer expert, but I donât think Fencer 2 -> Murmillo is worth it. Fencerâs best skills lies in C3.
Murmillo also doesnât combo that nicely with Fencer. Murmilloâs attributes to increase damage donât increase any of Fencerâs skills, and Murmillo itself doesnât give extra % debuff to Slash/Pierce, only Strike dmg, which Fencer doesnât benefit much from.
If you want a tanker fencer, Pelt 3 Fencer 3 is an option. Guardian gives 150 evasion and High Guard gives lots of block. You can easily get something like 40% evasion chance and 40% block chance, making you quite sturdy against physical attacks. Though thatâs a very defensive way to build Fencer and you wonât be getting Swordman 3 so no good Gung Ho / Concentrate.
c3 has the better damage skills, but c2 will have all the defensive ones. prep gives you 75% block, lunge gives you 250 evade. the only problem is that murmillo helmet is suppose to reduce your evade. iâm not sure by how much. if itâs a lot then fencer may end up not being too helpful.
I tried Murmi-Fencer for TBL, it was pretty nice, it would suck on PvE though. Fencer 3 circles or bust, gotta get that Balestra and Au fer
The number looks good, but for example I Use prepa to increase my block but it still less than when you hold C for shield. Itâs only fun for PvP with Corsair because Hook>Jump>Restrain+Sept
