Will Fencer survives End games?

[newbrand_ge]

This is where Fencer jumps in, You can boost your evasion rate with almost every skill xD

Where can i get Magas Rapier? I can’t find D:

[Lostac]

You could go Rodelero C3 and Fencer C1 still. Rodelero is a rank 4 class. Personally, I’d rather go for Rodelero C2 and Fencer C2 though as I don’t much care for the C3 skills/attributes.

Rodelero is majorly in the spotlight for being underpowered now though, and is receiving a slew of buffs very soon on kToS. They may even receive more in the future. It’s hard to say; this game is constantly getting large balance changes.

Basically you’d want to mix con and dex to make full use of fencer. Pelstata C1 (or more) would be a great choice for at least 1 point in guardian and 5 in swashbuckling. Overall, even if you only use swashbuckling and guardian, you get amazing endgame attributes such as 25% max hp, 18% evasion, and 25% block.

As far as aggro, you don’t even need to do much to hold it. The swordsman trait for aggro is so ridiculously broken and no one pays any attention to it. It will probably a large nerf in the future, but that won’t be for months/years. You should be able to tank (bosses) without even using swashbuckling if you really wanted to, but due to how great pelstata’s first circle attributes are, I’d see no reason not to pick it if you have any plans on tanking ever.

Hey, there! Guys, i’m thinking in going a DPS Fencer C2 build, with Swordsman C2 and Barbarian C3. The attributes would be something around 2 dex - 1 str - 1 con. What do you guys think? Am i going to have a good dps and resistance at the late game? And what are the best skills for DPS. Thx for the replys.

I went to peltasta C1 - Barbarian C3 - fencer. Is it possible to tank if I don’t pick Rodelero? Because I think rodelero doesn’t dish many damages. It only has magic resistance as the highlight of the class.

The thing I’m afraid is if suddenly there are big changes that cause my builds put in disadvantages.

My build is swordman C1 - Peltasta C1 - Barbarian C3 - Fencer C2. Similar to you, but more like tanking because I took peltasta. My stats ratio also same like yours. Maybe you can dish good damages, but less survivability because you dont take defense class skills. That’s my opinion

[diogocld]

But do you think that this smaller survivability will be a problem for me at the late game? Thx for your reply

If you’re doing high level instance or dungeon, I believe so. But if you build up right stats and equipments, it won’t be much problem to make a certain class. Cheers!

I was originally planning on going Pels 1, Barb 3, Fencer 1 (decided to swap this to doppel), Templar. With Pels 1, Barb 3 I’ve had no real issues tanking. It’s super easy to do as long as you can memorize patterns. You literally don’t even need con or dex for the first 150 levels.

Agree with that if you fight against bosses. But now currently I’m 175++, and it’s hard to tank bunch of monsters that gather together to attack you when I’m grinding. Even though I used leather with huge amount of dex. My HP depleted very quickly in Verkti square

I want help wit my fencer, i have reach the lv200 (3:1 dex/str 220dex and 120str) and the map Sentry bailey.
And it’s really hard for kill the Blue Ticen Magician ( 30k hp )…

I need more str now? i’m little lost actually for farm…

[ryusacerdos]

The problems for Fencer are:

1. It can’t use Finestra if it goes the Hoplite route. You can still go Hoplite for the Spear Lunge debuff, which is insanely powerful for boss killing, but Shinobi and Dragoon have a 150 crit rate advantage with Finestra.
2. Doppel does superior damage if you go the Highlander or Barbarian route.
3. Evasion is weak because magic damage can’t be dodged, and physical damage can be consistently blocked with Guard by anyone with Peltasta 1 (especially with the Stone Skin buff from a priest).
4. It has anti-synergy with auto attack buffs like Dual Weapon Assault and Frenzy, since Fencer is a skill spammer and Lunge buffs slash damage while your auto attacks do piercing damage.

[rexzshadow]

Would something like sword>pelt2>rod2>doppel2 work? or dopple1>shinobi?

[God_Almighty]

standard dex str con tank, looking at my dps i could deal about 8k-10k crits at lv 187 if skills were used correctly. Using a magas rapier, I only have a standard rapier as an extra though and it’s pretty annoying to have a massive power gap between the two

What’s your “standard” ?
3-2-1? 3-1-1??

[Lostac]

no particular ratio, but right now i’m at 200+ dex, 110+ str and 50+ con

a Venier with two level 5 green gems help a lot on my crit rate.

What level are you if you don’t mind me asking? How is your survive-ability soloing?

[Lostac]

202, no problems surviving unless you’re taking about blue ticen magicians which actually hurt for any melee lol

[greenfoxy21]

I call that bullshit xD…

archer classes have evasion tanks too.
Mostly rouges.

And i have with swiftstep 707 evasion … on level 195.
With monstrance that spikes up again.

[Fencer]

I believe in the fencer DPS. Plus its a lot more fun than sitting 20 feet away.

This good ol guy probably highlighted most of the main points in Fencer build!
