A noob's first attempt at a build - Tank/Dps(ish) Hybrid

First - apologies, I’m sure many veterans are sick of these threads by now :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m a complete ToS noob (never got my alpha/beta invite) so I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to building a character. However, I understand I can’t change classes so I want to at least have a plan.

With that said, I’ve attempted to put something together that I think looks okay and sounds fun. I’m a huge fan of Spears, and love tanking, so I tried to mix the two. I also really like the idea of Squire…

Thoughts?

EDIT: Should add that I’m looking at PvE only.

Many thanks in advance!

First, welcome to the game : )
I wouldn’t recommend this build, because it seem like you trying too hard to grab all tank, DPS and support in one. Why not just focus in 2 aspects? Tank with support, or tank with DPS, or any combination that would have a better and clearly stand in party.

Thanks for the reply! :slight_smile:

How would you suggest I fix the build? I just took what looked like the common tanking build and replaced one of the Peltasta with Hoplite. I figured that would make the leveling a lot less painful while not totally gimping the build.

Seems I was wrong?

Before we going into tank and DPS, if you’re really into Squire it should be either C1 or C3. Someone already have a discussion in the forum about Squire. Since you are selling buff services, getting the skill at level 10 seems halfass compare to a maxed level 15 buff. But of couse these are just people’s opinion you are free to just stay at C2. And going C3 means you’re also giving up a strong rank 7 until further class implement. In case you don’t know C2 camp can’t be use in dungeon.

Squire isn’t really worth it unless you take it to Circle 3.

Peltasta is fine at Circle 1 to fulfill your role as a tank, you don’t need Circle 2.

Might consider those things and try to find other builds that could suit you better or invest more into one of those classes. You can read either of the guides at the top of the Swordsman section to find more builds and class recommendations.
