also could anyone explain exactly what fencing does, because it seems to have changed in previous patches so not sure what info out there is correct

Yes, it does.


Fencing just makes the Perfect Parry window significantly longer, with the typical tradeoff being that the weapon has worse stats in comparison to the Balanced and Block versions. However, the stat trade-off for the other versions are almost never worth it because they don't allow you to hit breakpoints that would reduce the amount of hits it would take to defeat most enemies. The other versions DO kill bosses faster, but the likelihood that you'll be able to take advantage of that in a meaningful way is pretty low (especially compared to how Fencing weapons allow you to avoid damage in so many other situations).

Yes but more importantly it works of perfect block making the perfect block window almost the same as the perfect parry window of the balanced type. This means you can make the block knife really do a lot of work since it's light attack swing speed is fast enough to get in a jab in-between majoris combo attacks and still block the follow-ups. It absolutely clowns on the tyrant when it does multiple blockable attacks. Don't sleep on block weapons just because fencing feels "safer."
