Would this be effective? Shinobi/Fencer build PVE

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

Hi all, I hope is all well!

Im a player with very little practical experience and would like to know some opinion about this build:

The idea would be focusing max DPS on pierce attacks; stacking debuffs from Spear Lunge, (change weapon to rapier) and attaque coquille, use preparation, and finally doing as much dmg as possible with kunais and spaming thrust.

Most of the remainder points were put as fillers.

Any way, what do you think? Is it viable? Maybe there are better options than fencer for final ranks? Willing to receive any kind of feedback!

Thanks for the attention!

I have a shinobi fencer (not a hoplite cuz hate to change wep). Current Attaque coquille is almost useless, it maybe heavily nerfed or bugged i dunno. I’m not using that char now until attaque coquille is changed

Fencer is one of those classes that shines with the third circle but is lackluster before that. Changing weapons in order to do spear lunge will quickly make you lose enjoyment in the character as well. Swordsman weapon swap does not work automatically like archer weapon swap does when you use a skill that has a weapon requirement. Further, you take shinobi for the burst you get from clones. You would just be swapping weapons to use spear lunge, you’d have to swap to a sword and shield in order to use synchrothrust as well. If you don’t plan to use synchrothrust, then the only skills your clones could copy would come from swordsman.

There are very good reasons for the current meta fencer builds. Fencer is very good just on it’s own, trying to use gimmick setups will probably cause you to do lower dps in the end.

Fencer’s Rapier Mastery increases skill damage by 15% regardless of what the description says.
