Fencer Status and little buff
Last patch fencer was the most nerfed class, cad damage isnt at all a great nerf but was a significant nerf and kloness esterk nerf was a big nerf to this weapon being fencer.
Change on Fencer: critical hit ratio from 105% to 110% ( adding a bit more hr on kloness esterk and a bit of help on criticals hit with sabre. is not to much from 105 to 110 is a only a bit , and Merien neck buff balance that a bit too.
So give them more damage then🤷‍♂️ 90% of pd users are hunters. In t3 it’s very rare aoe damage matters. In d4 it’s more common but if you have more than 3 people in mid you’re not going to be taking advantage of aoe damage often. Fencers do less damage, and take more damage. Their swing is slower, hits for less, and they take more damage because of shield loss.
Best way to balance fencer is just remove shield loss. If they are going to keep the cad loss, then it’s only fair they gain SOMETHING.
Probally a good way to balance shield loss skill is: Removed 50% shield skill / Added: physical absorption reduced by 3% when facing your oponent with a shield. So this way will make no surprise damages and still having a nerf for cast with shield
