2hand Swordsman Beginner Guide


This build was not made by me, but by a friend. I found it so well done that I started playing with it in the newbie era. now I decided to share it with new interested parties for this Build.

Barb + Doppel + Peltasta

explanation:
You could go Doppel first, but I imagine going Doppel 2nd will give you slightly more STR growth between Doppel and Peltasta. Doppel will likely be much more fun, so don’t hesitate to go Doppel first then Barb then Peltasta.

This build is for AoE farming and is very straightforward. Peltasta is strictly for Swashbuckling and Guardian buff (which you will want to have for emergency situations), and having it last means more CON focus so you will take more hits than normal.

Barbarian is a staple in this build. Frenzy buff is extremely nice, so is Warcry when you are surrounded. Since you will be able to Swashbuckle later, you will get more out of Warcry later. Pouncing has to be held down to utilize. Seism is great (even stuns bosses!). For leveling, you can get 1 point into Stomping Kick and then re-skill at a later time to regain the point to put into something else… Stomping Kick’s AoE Attack Ratio is pretty bad, but it has 5 overheats and is fun to use at times. Cleave is a staple as either a follow-up after the Seism stun, Dopple’s Punish (keep the knockdown attribute on), or as a pre-buff before Doppel rotations.

Doppel is a bit more involved, but definitely fun! To utilize Punish, you either knockdown with Swordsman Bash after getting the Bash Knockdown attribute, or after Cleave with the Cleave Remove Knockdown turned off, then you can Punish.

The main rotation for Doppel is Zornhau -> Zucken -> Redel, and Zwerchau -> Zucken -> Redel. You only really need one point into Zornhau and Zwerchau , but you definitely want Zwerchau and its attribute to combo into Zucken and Redel so you have more opportunities to use Zucken and Redel.

Cyclone is really nice, get the move and extension attributes. Deeds of Valor is also a stable buff in this build as it greatly amplifies your damage output.

Douple Pay Earn can be difficult to utilize at times, but you have it when you feel you can use it for farming equipment.

Sturtzhau is optional, but gives you an extra filler attack for bosses or against a small amount of mobs.

This build isnt anything fancy, and definitely not for bossing… but it is fun.

at ktos they fixed hard shield buff, it cant be used if you dont equip shield at that moment.
guardian is 15 second, not really needed at general PVE farming.
DPE is … not that useful for farming, only 1 minute duration, very short compared to swell head

IMO, barbarian can be changed to matador for more AOE Farming

how is making 2hand swordsman beginner guide?

it’s dead end if you invest in 2hand and later on want to change to 1hand or even other weapon type.

also misleading because build is obviously for farming, not for content clear
