I agree with you about the stats. It’s just that I realize swordsman will never deal significant DPS. Even archer’s multishot skill out dps 99% of the swordsman skill and that’s a basic archer starter skill.
It sucks because even wizards can pump pure CON and still be viable to deal as much or more DPS than a swordsman class who pumped pure STR/DEX. Do you see my point?
I see the flaws and issues with swordsman that’s why I don’t bother trying to invest into too much dmg. No matter what you do, the only viable stat points for swordsman is really just CON at the moment.
Even if you manage to somehow out DPS an archer or wizard, you will have put all your points into STR/DEX with no CON, no HP, nothing. As soon as the mobs aggro on you because you pulled all their attention away from your party, you will have 12+ mobs whacking at you and killing you in under 2 seconds because you are melee. Wizards and Archers are usually safe because they are at distance and can kite/run.
Till IMC fixes this, nobody is gonna want swordsman with 12k HP doing lv200+ content.
