I settled on this as a rough draft of sorts after reading through Cathexis’s guild on swordman builds.
I was kind of torn with swordsman tbh. I love swords, but I love high crt rates. In the end I decided on using a spear so I could use the Finestra buff. I’ve fairly confident in my buff selection for the skills, but I’m unsure about my attack selection. (Mainly I dunno how well I’ll be able to use combos like Keel Haul and Spear Lunge.) I also didn’t know if unlock chest was any real use? So I decided against it. I’d like to open a guild at some point so I opted to have Templar be my rank 7 class. I can always build a new swordsman character later if I decide something else would be better.
I was trying to go for a tank/dps build that focused on some support abilities as well. To be good for soloing, and great for teaming up with people. (Thus skills like Swash Buckling, and Jolly Roger were more my focus).
Any advice for this kind of build? Critic? As long as I didn’t make any large errors in making this I’ll probably go with this for my first character.
