Why So Many Fencers/What are your Fencer builds?

Class and Rank
#1

I don’t know…
When i first saw it i thought it would be a sorta unpopular class, but I’m seeing a new post about Fencer and new/different builds almost every day, its kinda cool that so many people are taking an interest in it.
Its kinda my favorite class, so I like seeing all these discussions about it <3

So Im going to ask.
What are your Fencer builds? :0

Here Is Mine:


Its a sorta typical Cookie Cutter Highlander build, but I skilled Fencer it self to more fit my play style when i used it in ICBT2

i like it because of no weapon swap.
i dont exaclty know the best optimization of skills for fencer.
ours is basically the same build, but i swear i didnt copy.
i had it saved on my bookmark for over a week now.
but i have 2 other builds im considering… and i cant play all three

Well, fencer on my build is because some skills can evade enemy attacks.

#5

Fencers are so classy! Have to be one =p
Also, one of the most evasion oriented class (I like it :D)


Changed the name of the build. The other was bad~

And this:

I was going to be a doppel. Then I saw this video and fell in love.

Cheers!

The funny thing is.
He didn’t even skill correct for a high dmg build.
He’s just trying to look fancy~

#7

I’m still a noobie making builds but this is one that i made yesterday

Still not sure if i have to change swordsman at rank 5 ( i just put it there since i didn’t know what to put, really) but i think i might change it for corsair or something since i also want to do some pvp just for fun.

@newbrand_ge actually I’ed get points in umbo and rim because you are skulking heavily into high guard.
You cal also leave guardian at 1 and just use it for the +18% evasion.
You also don’t need a high level of swashbuckling, there’s never THAT many enemies around you at once, lvl 5-10(ish) should be fine.

@joalca197
I’ed go paltasta before highlander and DEFINITELY skill lunge @_@
ALL of highlander’s skills are slashes…
And lvling Attaque Coquille, is really bad, the level does nothing to the debuff…
It’s fine at lvl1

#9

He took 1-2 hits at maximum!

#10

why so many fencers

cuz fencer is the only hope for a swordsman

#11

Why do you think that? There are many interesting builds.

#12

I see a lot of High/Fencer… no barb/fencer ? Why :o ?

So i’m looking to make this build :

I can tank if party with :

  • swashbuckling
  • few CC
  • attribute peltasta
  • guardian 1 for 18% eva
  • skill from Fencer who give eva and block bonus
  • utility from jolly roger

First lvl for xp will be normal (more harder than highlander ofc)

And about pvp, i’m not sure but, with a CC and High hp pool it’s should be ok :

  • seism
  • help chopper
  • dust devil
  • umbo blow
  • iron hook/ hauling

No gap closer or high mobility…maybe next new class ? (murmillo)

So i’m not really sure…what is your opinion ?
Barb C3 to replace corsair C1 ?

Some people speak about Pelt C2/ RodC2/ Fencer C2…but Rodelero looks so weak (except slitering but 2 ranks for one skill look like more a huge cost in my opinion !)

Thx for your sharing :slight_smile:

#13

Attaque Coquille’s level is tied to how much it last.

At level 4, it lasts 8 seconds, witch is skill’s cooldown. It’s fine at it.

Lazy people like me, prefer at level 10, so it lasts longer and don’t need to renew buff that much.

#14

Well, it depends.

Main reason for going Barb C3 is having Frenzy and Warcry level 10. Frenzy can make 20 stacks of +20 damage on bosses. Imagine that on a Corsair with Double Weapon Assault ? And Warcry’s attributte that raises target count to 10. So, you debuff more, it can also be used as another AoE taunt, but it has a much smaller range than Swashbuckling. Raising skills damage of Cleave, Seism and Helm Chopper is also good, but even with that, it’ll fall on high end.

Going Corsair C1, let you use Jolly Roger witch raises chance on monsters dropping items and Iron Hook to capture 3 at the same time on league PVP.

Now it depends on you.

#15

when did they change that?..
in iCBT2 i only put 1 point in it and it lasted 10 seconds.

im PRETTY SURE that wasent changed, and its always 10 seconds, all tha changes is the initial dmg of the skill, which i dont find worth it

You dont want frenzy on fencer, Fencer is a skill spammer as rapiers have low atk dmg and auto attacking 20 times to get a dmg boost for 50 seconds is not sufficient.

Highlander puts out sustained DPS, and has a lot of utility.
Barb is better for mobbing and dealing quick bursts of dmg, but not too often.

C3 barb if you want to be more effective in PVE, C1 corsair if you want to be more effective in PVP.

#16

It’s like that from a long time now. You could see it on the main site at http://tos.nexon.com/gameinfo/jobview.aspx?classid=1014

But unfortunately, their site is not working at the moment.
I know that you don’t beleive me, and you doesn’t have any reason to, but think about it:

Tosbase doesn’t show this buff’s duration ? Isn’t it strange ? If it was something so simple like a fixed length in all levels ?

#17

Strange, but I don’t remember anything saying on Frenzy that implies it only works on auto-attacks. You don’t need to have all 20 stacks for it to make a huge difference on your DPS.

And besides, Fencer can only be classified as skill spammer when you doesn’t use a shield.

#18

It does, its been tested extensively.

That is… ABSOLUTELY false…
NONE of Fencer’s skills require a Dagger or shield…
only a Rapier, you can spam skills with NO offhand

#19

You only get your +15% attribute when using a dagger yes, but only to pircing attacks.

when your not using piercing attacks your better off swapping to sheild.
this is why most fencers roll with both

#20

Thx a lot for all this informations !

So i see in your website laloboldslayer1, the attaque coquille, so it can be interesting to up lvl 5

But there is nothing for flaconnade about the block rate…i’m little bit sceptical for this skill !

About the stuff, i will play with rapier/dagger & rapier/shield ( i lose one attribute effect with this set so need to switch )

I’m not sure to understand when you speak about warcry ( i’m not native english speaker and the google translation is not very effective xD)

So i have read (don’t find the link) somewhere, Warcry was more interesting than Frenzy , because Frenzy work only on auto attack…is it true ? Fencer looks like for me , more than a spam skill than a specialist auto attack. Maybe i’m wrong.

But it’s a good thing that warcry give a aggro effect. Jolly roger too (just 5 mobs), but it’s interesting because i don’t want go to peltc2, but i want keep the aggro !
