Another swordsman PVP thread

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

Hi, guys.

I have read a lot of similar threads, but I just couldn’t find my answers.
Is Swordsman C3>hoplite>corsair good for pvp?
What skills do I required to get for C3 swordsman, Can i just ignore bash & thrust, so that i can pump all my points in the buffs.
As for corsair, how many points i need to pump into Jolly roger, is 1 more than enough, and dust devil, is it very important?

As for stats distribution, I was thinking of Dex 4:Con 1, is this feasible?

I got a feeling that if i go for this build, my PVE will be painful. Very painful i guess. Is my feeling correct?

Hope to hear some constructive comments.
Thanks in advance

It depends on your playstyle. What is your objective anyways?

  • are you gonna aim for bleeding?

  • are you gonna aim for normal attacks? ( huge base damage or crit damage )

  • are you gonna aim for skill spamming? ( crowd controller or damager? )

If your purpose of having a high dex is evasion, then dont. you cant dodge magic. If it is for crit rate, then you need to get high physical damage and crit damage. Youre gonna be gear dependent.

wow. didn’t know that there are so many things to consider. but i feel that in order to excel in pvp, probably i need burst dmg. maybe i will aim for good normal attacks + a bit of skill spamming.

stats wise, i’m still unsure about whether i need to pump my str. because base on calculation offered in other threads, the 200 str bonus seems marginal.

Swordsman C3>pelt>corsair C2> shinobi is, in my opinion, one of the best 1v1 pvp builds out there. dont get hoplite c1, cus it sucks.

i’m going for Swordsman C3>highlander>corsair>Doppel C2 for PvP

but in the end stats are all the same, u need around 170-200 crit rate (i’m going for something like 175-185), some STR of course and a lot of CON.
the STR/CON ration is hard to decide, i’m going for around 50-100 CON and rest to STR

if you looking for a burst class,with spam skills and cc I recommend you go for fencer/barbarian

  • a lot of combo skills,cc skils and block.
  • great addition with peltasta and barbarian (cleave with lunge and gives you a huge damge)
  • you dont need to go hard for con (only 50 poins,30 its good)
  • Flanconnade Can block every enemy attack (some magic skills too)
  • attaque coquille can ignore enemy defense with pierce attacks (combo with sept etoiles)

the only problem is you will be missing some tipe of engage or dash and you need a lot of sp to spam skills,but,you have a lot of ccs and knockdowns,Seism can stun 2 times,Helm chopper can stun 2 times (every stun is 2s) and u can use bash with knockdown 3 times (you can hit while the enemy is in knockdown)

also warriors can run =D

1-cus all highlaner skills are useful and atributes too, dude i’m going 2h sword, if i dont take c1 highlander ill die later on =)

2-gime a catagoon and ill give u a dead body =)

and dont listen to this guy^^ u need A LOT of CON for high level PvP.

Right now, for swordsman at least, Sword c3 > Cata c3 > Dragoon is the absolute pvp build, nothing else you can come up with will be able to defeat one, doesn’t matter the amount of cc you think you have, because he can multihit you from ouside your range, his normal atk range is bigger than your skills, he moves 3 times as faster than you do and whe you think you got close enough to do something… Surprise, you’re impaled.

Thank you guys for the input. I will take note.

Quick question, so gear is standardized in PvP right? Meaning that you don’t get any bonuses from your own equipment / nor any gems/amulets in those equips? All that matters then is ur BASE stat allocation + skill choice + playstyle?
