Hi everyone,
i’m new to this game, just started two days ago, but the game looks really enjoyable to me so far.
I have read quite a few threads and watched videos to the swordman class.
But it’s still difficult for me to pick the “right” classes, mainly because these will be permanent as far as i know. Just don’t want to gimp my char and reroll to often.
Also almost all threads/videos are from last year and i read somewhere that there were a few changes recently that changes quite a bit.
So maybe can you help me out a bit here?
The char i want to play:
Swordman is the class that look best to me.
In there the fencer seems interesting. I like the style aspect the most.
But i’m also open for other options.
I want a character that do well solo and in groups. Having the option to handle bosses solo would be nice too. I have no interest in PvP and will focus on PvE. I don’t need the “best” “op” class, just a fun class combination that can do - hopefully - all PvE Content good enough to be no burden.
What i read so far it seems to me, that the fencer can be it.
But now i found a thread saying it is a expensive class, requiring much effort to equip etc.
My questions:
Is fencer a doable goal for a new player, starting with his first character to be a fencer?
Can Squire repair his own weapons, so helping to keep repair costs low? Is choosing one (or more) circles in squire a good or bad idea?
Do you have any advises for me, which classes work and which don’t?
Are there any combinations that are no gos?
What i’ve done so far:
I currently at level 31. My first pick was peltasta.
My Swordsmen skills so far:
1 Thrust - 3 Bash - 5 Gung Ho + Concentrate - 1 Pain Barrier
1 Umbo Blow - 5 Swash Buckling - 2 Guardian
I have aimed a high dex build so far according to Cathexis guide.
Stats shown ingame without equip: 22 STR - 15 CON - 2 INT - 3 SPR - 31 DEX (i only put points in str, dex and con so far)
I hope you can help me out a bit.
I rather reroll now than later, but hope i can make a good swordman out of the char i already have.
Any comments are welcome.
Thanks.
