After the July 26, 2016 patch, how's your damage and play style?

Class and Rank Swordsman

So, there has been a lot that’s changed for swordies. How are the changes for you? Do you feel more powerful? Do you notice a significant difference in firepower or play style?

I just hopped on my Dopple after abandoning it for a month. Did the missions and dungeons and I have to say, I saw a noticeable increase in damage. Every time we kill the boss I’m usually ranked at 2 for highest DPS, only to be overshadowed by an archer class.

How’s your experience so far? Let the community know of your experience.

EDIT:
Build - Swordie 1 -> Pelt 1 -> Hoplite 3 -> Dopple
Level - 177
Stats - STR:CON:DEX = 195:120:50

Also, did the new buffs help a lot?

#3

Solo is pretty much unchanged. Some minor tweaks and that’s all for me.

#4

How do you know you were Rank 2 to begin with ?

#5

On my Rode, I’m surprisingly getting #1-2 pretty often; especially when I get a Wizard that bothers to use Lethargy.

As for mobs, it’s quite nice to see that I don’t have to aim better. The perimeter increase is doing me wonders. And I don’t know how to react to the change in Shield Push’s effect.

With the cooldown reductions, my SP consumption is crazy but I’m quite grateful for the over 50% uptime on the strike damage boost debuffs.

I still think that Swordsmen deserve an AoE Ratio boost though. Maybe even at least just +1 per rank. I really want to do a non-spear build but I can’t imagine life without Finestra and the often present AoE ratio bonus from spears.

Damage is still the same. They increased our str by 30% right? I don’t feel it and my Str is still at 310 from when I left it.

#8

It was cute change.

Not that significant.

3 swordie mission as dps is still quite slow… compared to them wiz and fletchers.

@sttr413 & @fhonghwong Care to elaborate? What builds have you been using? And how do you play your builds?

@xdaymax After a boss battle, you see a little number pop up on top of your head. This indicates the ranking of each person’s DPS.

@acetatsujin Actually, for every 1 point added to strength we receive 30% more attack compared to the other classes.

@tampon What build are you using in game?

#10

Basically no change. Some skills have a bigger hit box but that’s about it. I’m STR build with almost 300 STR and my damage increased by between 5-10%. Very insignificant change. Swordies still weak and borderline useless.

#11

ur build is probably bad lol

#12

Ok was that in previous update ? I stopped playing for almost a month so I never saw those number except in Kr Patch note so i didnt thought they were here yet.

As for dammage, 3rd OverHeat on Cleaves is pretty insane, plus that debuff is really handy, i saw a big update in my burst against mob trash at least, didn’t tried boss yet.

#13

Cookie cutter Sw-High-Barb3-Doppel here. After doing my missions, found myself a couple of times at 1st in ranking, as long as my Pouncing is up I finally do decent damage now. Cleave + Pouncing is such a beast right now.

#14

The 30% str buff is there but not that much noticeable. I reckon a high/full strength build would get any real difference from it.

The hit box increases are making a difference, at least in my eyes.

I think the biggest difference is the skills that got buffed. Barb is very noticeably stronger and my rode2 is doing ALOT better in general with more dmg and lower cooldowns. Can’t wait to get shooting star and high kick.

#15

Im straight crushing it with Cleave on my Doppel.
I can deal plenty of damage, but oh Lawd, the amount of damage I can take.

#16

When you kill a boss appear numbers in the head of the characters ranking them.

#17

Pelt1 > Hop1 > Rod3 > idk. my choices are hop2, shinobi, goon, dop, pelt2 LOL irdk

Took Hop1 for pierce-type attacks and aoe ratio

#18

Sw2-Hop2-Cor3. Did some solorunning in abby but haven’t noticed any serious difference.

#19

Traded my gladiator band away for 2 sissels. Fencer C3 new stance incomiiiingggg

#20

welll

thanks to Cleave buff/change… Corsair’s Dust Devil isn’t that much garbage skill… it’s still ■■■■ compared to Hexen but now at least it deals some kind of damage when used on debuffed (Cleave) enemy

now I wish Shinobi had slash spells or Clones used Dust Devil so Barbnobi would be nice build
