Anyone going Swordsman circle 3?

Class and Rank
#1

If anyone’s going down this path, can you post your experiences please?
I want to know whether the 3 attack buffs - Concentrate, Gung Ho and Restrain are worth maxing

#3

I dont know much about swordman 3 build but this seems to be instersting combo.

Concentrate: Stun attribute

Adding (2*Atr Lvl)% chance to inflict [Stun] state when [Concentrate] skill is active.

Pommel Beat

Attack with the hilt of the Sword.
Give additional damage if enemy is stunned. The defense of small and medium monsters will partly be ignored.

Not sure how much u get additional damage when u stunt them and use pommel beat.

u can only level ur attributes when u rank up

I am pretty sure this isn’t true. I have a friend in the korean beta, and he only went circle 2 swordsman before switching to barb, but has his gungho attribute at level 8.

I’m more talking about the difference between GungHo lv 15, Concentrate lv 15 and Restrain lv 10 at circle 3 compared to GungHo lv 10, Concentrate lv 10 and Restrain lv 5 at circle 2. The stun attribute you can learn at circle 2 anyway

Swordsman 3 is pretty good for early game, but you will skip some important class such as peltasta and barbarian which has much stronger potential for late game.

I imagine this combo quite useful for 1v1 PvP (if there is going to be such a thing at least). Since players should be considered medium size.

#11

I might do this, I was long considering it since it may look like a weak low tier buff but if the buffs stack up for the wedge formation with the centurion it could maybe help with the overall damage output on the wedge?
So far i was thinking the following:


So far this is nothing but an experiment, but hey no sense in going for defenitive builds on such an early stage, right?

#12

I’m feeling lack luster towards the higher ranks DPS skills with 30 second plus cool-downs why wold people not be maxing both bash and thrust just for the purpose of spamming damage skills? is there something that makes auto-attacking and casting a spell twice/minute better than spamming a lower damage spell 10x per minute?

#13

I think I will go for it, some time ago I thought about going for Barbarian C1 instead before going Cataphract C3, but I think I’ll rather max out Gung Ho and Concentrate.

I know about Savagery and how it would help with a 2H spear Cataphract but the other skills would be kind of a waste for my build.

#14

i guess it depends if the cooldown increases per a lvl as right now it just says 6+? its so hard to make build decisions right now >.<

#16

Looking at the Swordsman attributes as well as many of the following classes’ attack skills, I feel Swordsman Archetype skills are not supposed to be spammed, but used at the right moment and combo’d for maximum value. I believe that SP will quickly become an issue for Swordsman that spam low CD abilities.

#17

Not only will your SP sink like a rock, you’ll probably lose stamina extremely fast too.

#18

Definitely yes! since i am a sword junkie

So i will take it to the 3rd circle

#19

I’m sure your right about their intended purpose but that’s not looking for the OP potential of a skill when used in a way it wasn’t intended. from what I have heard nobody has been having SP issues with any class and most build are pretty much pure INT or STR at current. This kind of build would probably be a heavier SP load but that’s what pots are for right?

#20

Can someone confirm if they remove this attribute Concentrate: Stun attribute

Adding (2*Atr Lvl)% chance to inflict [Stun] state when [Concentrate] skill is active

because I saw a swordsman video upgrading attributes and didnt saw this one

#21

Well ive done swords man, c3 the damage buff is worth it, dont know about restrain instead of maxing that i maxed damage buffs gong ho is also good at a lower skill level due to the fact that it takes a small amount of your hp and do a damage buff, so aslong as you also add a small amount of stats to CON you should be good, hope it helps a bit :slight_smile:

P.S sorry for bumping a old post, and ill check my build later, if you still need help.
