Hi, first of all I am new to this game and English is not my first language.
I am very interested in “warrior” type class/job no matter what mmo I’m playing. However I heard few things that discourage me from rolling one.
Is swordsman ping reliant? I am playing from SEA and the ping isn’t the best out there.
Is swordsman useless late game?
Finally is there any ideal swordsman build for newbie?
Thanks in advance!
For some classes yes, like Corsair C2 Double Weapon Assault, or 0 CD skills for that matter.
Depends on your build, usually greedy builds are unwanted but still do some decent dps.
I suggest the standard path, Sword > Pel > Hop x3 > Doppel > Dragoon. If it’s not what you want tell me your playstyle I could suggest something else. This build is mainly for PVE by the way.
Thanks for the reply! The build seems nice but I heard Dragoon has problem with high ping, afaik there is skills that requires button mashing. And I prefer PvE over PvP.
Yes, i imagine most of the swordsman would be with the exception of tanks.
not useless. just underwhelming in most builds. but full tank is fine and i heard shinobi is too
Sw c1 > Peltasia c1 is a great start
if you wanna tank: Sw c1 > Pelt C3 > Squire c3 or C2 + c1 templar is probably your best bet. you would get essential support abilities from those classes and pretty much always have a spot in a party regardless where you may go. granted the templar is just there in case you wanna make your own guild ( and for the cool outfit)
if you want most competitve dps in say Earth tower swordsman can offer, you can :
Sw c1 > pelt c1 or Sw c2 > Hop c2 > Cor c2 > Shinobi
Sw c1 > pelt c1 > Hop c3 > dopple > Dragoon
Sw c1 > pelt c1 >barb c3 > dopple c2 or fencer c2
These are the most popular builds per what you may prefer. though the shinobi and dragoon classes are bugged apparently im sure you noticed a theme. all of these builds contain “peltasia” . mainly for an abiltiy called “SWashbuckling” which is an aoe taunt, unique to the swordsman tree. and the difference between having it and not having it can mean you’re going to have a bad time or not, when it comes to late game. Because the current state of swordsman damage wise falls off hard late game.
Assuming IMCgames eventually renews and revamps the entire swordsman tree, you have to ask yourself: How long am i willing to wait ? Do i want to risk my build by putting pelt in it , so it deals less damage later? or do i want to risk it by having faith in IMC and not using pelt?
if you’re curious at what i chose, i personally half started with pelt in mind but decided im just going to buy a few tokens and return when swordsman is a complete class, as i refuse to play the backliners of the game .
Swordsman are useless at end game and u wont get any group.so or u habe friends or a guild who carryes u or do yourself a favor and create a wiz\archers because swordsman are dead
Apparently as long as you have a circle in Peltasta, current end game will be more gentle to you than not having it because a lot of parties likes having a tank that can taunt mobs.
Going pure DPS is not recommended in the game’s present state as other classes will out-DPS you by a significant bit to a mile (yes, including some from the Cleric ranks).
