Hi everyone!
I was wondering wich path to take for a murmillo oriented on dps with a bit of tanking
i was planning on going pel c3 then hop c3, in order to make consistent damage and the ability to wield spears, but im not really sure if that will be good for what i want
any suggestion will be appreciated!
Sorry if my english is not that good.
I think we should wait for more infos from IMC on Murmillo. All we can do right now is speculate. For all we know, Murmillo might be locked on using Sword and Shield.
Yeah that’s right, but for now we know that murmillo will be the most offensive oriented shield class, that’s why i thinked of hoplite, because leveling rodelero c3 will be a pain in the ass D:
which is why Rodelero IMO would be the better choice. High Kick would give you strike bonus. If most Murmillo skills would be Strike Based, then Rodelero would be the better compliment for Murmillo.
And Murmillo further improves on Rodelero and Peltasta skills
How much difference it will make remains to be seen though
i have plan for same build as u.
pel 3 hop 3 but wait for official rank8 to make sure that Murmillo can use spear and shield.
Wish that all Murmillo’s skill can use spear 
sw 1 - pel 1 - hop 2 - rodel 3 - murmillo
Thanks to all replys! you’re right better to wait until it is released but i really really hope spears to be usefull, like a real gladiator or spartan warrior!
if murmillio arent limited to sword and shield. i prefer spear and shield. so my build will be
swo>pelta>hop3>rodelero2>murmillio
if ever they became sword and shield limited it will be
swo>pelta2>rodelero2>squire2>murmillio
or swo>pelta3>rod3>millio
The only reason i personally dont like Hoplite for Murmillo, is Murmillos ability to improve on all Skills that requires a shield, which Hoplite really lacks.
But we dont know all the details yet, so Hoplite could turn out to be the superior choice.
Not so sure about Squire though, if you’re going Squire for the Arrest, wouldnt Corsair be a better choice?
A dps murmillo path could be this:
Might want to take lv 1 thrust as a source of pierce damage if needed. Concentrate is inferior to gung ho in this build because you don’t have many multihits outside of cyclone, DoV gets more from gung ho anyway. You won’t use guardian much since it’s a -14% atk at level 1 and you’ll block instead of evading.
How are you guys leveling your Rodolero? Im currently leveling mine and it is killing my soul. I do have an Arde, but that closes out pretty much all the Pelt3/Rodo skills and all you are left with is autoattack. Using Lightplate set+3, vubbe fighter gauntlets, and velniup, I got my Aoe attack ratio up to 10, but it is like the skills and autoattacks can’t hit more than 3 targets regardless. (Unless 10 attack ratio is nothing). Im waiting to see if the Ledas shield would be the better option but as it hasn’t dropped yet on this character it is hard to say if the increase to skills would be noticeable.
You can take this advice with a grain of salt if you like but for my Pelt3-Rode3 I barely put points into CON early. Im about lvl 177 and have only 25 points invested into CON. i put 40 points in DEX and thats it. The rest of my points I dumped into STR. I just don’t feel like a tank in this game so i said fk it and spec’d into a more damaging kinda build. So far I can solo all the content but I’m sure i will need help come 210+.
I think you might be having difficulties since you delayed your Rode by 1 circle. Slithering and High Kick boosts your damage by a lot, and Shooting Star does a lot of damage with them.
I really hope Murm skills won’t be locked to using swords too. My Rode has a hop1 in its build. If they were sword-locked though, I think I’d take High1 for my C3.
I too was tempted to going hoplite route on Murmillo and didn’t really like how the community seemed hellbent on pigeonholing it into a tank role when we don’t have a full idea on the attributes of its skillset. However it was mentioned that it would enhance shield skills, and hoplite doesn’t have very much of those. While butterfly from Pelt3 would probably count as such and it does hit relatively hard with an overheat of 2 and would go well with the highkick of rodolero. The armor break on umbo thrust is pretty useful too.
Hmm can consider getting at least 1 rank Highlander. Cartar is the best strike skill imo since it scales. If I’ll ever do a damage oriented Murmillo, I’d go Sw-Pelt-High-Rod3-Doppel
I plan to play
swordsman 1> pel 1>Barbarians3+Rod2
Or
Sword 1 >Pel 1>Barbarians2+Rod3
I’m thinking of going Shinobi for my R7 because I really hate dealing with leather armoured targets. I want those pierce skills! Plus we get some shield skills copied now right?
i’ve an alt with a pelta2 / shinobi / murmillo build i’d like to try
but before going shinobi, do u have any feedback from the Umbow blow + High Guard attribut ?
are all the clone having the same buff from high guard or just you ? is it worth it ? ^^
Umbo blow with high guard attribute increases its damage by 350% and then half it because of high guard. plus it also deals more damage to staggered enemies(dunno the percentage though but was very evident)
umbo blow (normal) i dealt around 300 damage
umbo blow (staggered) around 400
(with high guard) around 1k
(with high guard and staggered) around 1.1k
(level 67, 69str(lol) vs lvl 64 boss
