Battle Tank Loot-Making Doppelsoeldner - Advice, please?

Class and Rank Swordsman

Hello, forum! So, I’m coming in and thought it would be good to have my character be a somewhat tanky Doppelsoeldner, since not only that would give me some tank utility in parties but also would mix well with Doppel’s renowned crazy AOE damage on Cyclone!

But then again, I thought, a good economical base helps any player and I always liked rolling dungeons and looking for the loot, so that also factored in my decision for Doppel - that Double-Pay Earn mixed with Corsair’s Jolly Roger looks mighty profitable!

The build is pretty strictly PvE, I say!
So, here’s the skill build I intend to use!

And the stat build is:
Every 10 points:
Str: 4. Con: 3. Dex: 1. Spr. 2

Strength gets the damage going, Con makes the character beefy enough for mobbing and tanking, Spirit helps protect against magic attacks and gives some SP to spam skills to boot, and 1 Dex helps him not to be blind!

As for the skills…
Bash is ranked 3 for the Knockback, as otherwise the build is very damage-packed and Bash will fall off quickly.
Concentrate and Gung Ho are damage buffs, the more the merrier!
Pain Barrier at 2 because Thrust is pretty useless in the grand scheme and being able to ignore lockdown can be a real lifesaver.

Peltasta in general is good for the extra skill to block!
Swashbuckling is there for that taunt.
Umbo Blow pushes things away.
And I think that Guardian might be good when I need some defense though I’m not sure this will ever come in handy…

Helm Chopper and Seism stun things (helpful crowd control)…
And Cleave picks off stunned things very well!
Warcry and Frenzy help me deal more damage, pretty direct~~

Jolly Roger increases my gold income…
Dust Devil is another useful tool for controlling all the mobs I raise…
Iron Hook and Keel Hauler are there because they’re better than Unlock Chest anyway!

Double-Pay Earn is 40% the point of me picking Doppelsoeldner, because I want to make lots of money and loot! Thus, it’s maxed~~
Cyclone is another 40% of the point of Doppelsoeldner in the build, for its fast, large AoE damage is amazing on most swordie builds, especially a mobbing one!
And Deeds of Valor is maxed there to help me do tons of damage!

So, do you think this is a good damage-tank, money-making, monster-mobbing build for a Doppelsoeldner?
What would you change, if not so?

Based on other people feedbacks, Corsair c1 is not worth it. You either go c2 or c3 or nothing at all. It looks like you better go Barbarian c3, for more cleave damage, Pounce and a lvl 10 frenzy.

#3

I will take this in consideration! Isn’t Jolly Roger at lv. 5 a good aid for making money, though?

…even if, yeah, more damage on Cleave + Frenzy with Double Pay does indirectly get the money count up too

From a pvp perspective Corsair C1 gives a useful tool for pvp viability, Iron Hook cant be dispelled by anything as its a rank 10 debuff.

Besides that, i see no reason to pick corsair c1.

Also, deeds of valor is soemthing you can let stay at lv8, its enough to get youself 100% uptime on it, sure the extra 20% damage would be great, but you’d need to wait even longer to get that max stack.

Also for dust devil you’d need to weapon swap to a knife.

i also wonder, do you plan to ever use 2h swords?
If you do you might want to consider some of those doppel c2 skills

#5

What about going barb C3 > Corsair > Doppel ?

#6

i’d rather stay with barb c2, and gone doppel c2, doppel got so much more damage to offer.

But if you have no intention on participating in gvg/pvp, skip corsair

#7

Few people have complained about Jolly Roger giving crap silver, something between like 1-10 silver per steal that actually happens. Its up to you if that amount is worth enough as to take corsair c1.

#8

Wow, thank you all for the replies!

So, I’m mostly thinking of this build as a battle tank and thus sword and shield is my main weapon set, ideally! As such, I just ramped up the basic Doppel skills from Rank 1 at Rank 2~~

No intentions on going PvP, I was contemplating Corsair mostly for the silver boost and for the item steal rate!

Seems the silver isn’t as great a point for Jolly Roger as its ability to steal items, from what I read around - rather the uncertain thing if this does get Corsair C1 as a worthy alternative for PvE, though
