hello, i am leveling a peltasta c1 character right now and i have a doubt, initially i wanted to go for Barb3>Doppel2 with a 2h sword but after some thinking i am considering hop3>doppel>dragoon, both with high str, low dex and con to taste.
which build is better overral, for soloing and pve? (also pvp if you can tell)
thanks 
please help me i’m so thorn i can’t pick <.<
Both are great, hop 3 > doppel > dragoon may be better abit but even since recent ktos boost to barb , i think barb3>doppel2 are as good as that dragoon build
Both build have good aoe mobbing skill and they are also good in bossing too.
Just asking yourself, do you prefer 2h sword or 2h spear or spear/dagger ?
Since you wan high str, low dex, its best u go for hoplite build since they have finestra buff that add extra crit chance. This will allow you to go for high str build
I’d choose dragoon because the outfit is prettier. Tho I have a barbarian that’ll follow the doppel 2 path.
went with hoplite mainly because i have a fetish towards spear/lance since i started using them in monster hunter XD but i feel a bit sad because i liked barb a lot too 
why not going
barb3 >doppel > dragoon ?
you get the benefit of 2h swords, 2h spear, 1h spear
cool outfit, best synergy with skills.
aoe debuffs and powerup. warcry + gae bulg + frenzy + deed of valor = lot of % increase. which swordsman lacking.
does lot more dmg then hoplite3>doppel>dragoon.
if you want to go leather/2hsword, if you put sword1 highlander1, you get a bonus of 50% crit dmg passive for 2h swords, if youre going shield/sword go peltasta1
-also if youre not going shield dont worry about con much
pvp cata3/dragoon works well solo too
It does not worth it.
Playing lv200+ Pelt>Barb3>Dop1 actually, it’s an okay build for low hp monster
Talking about my build on 200+map, soloing pve as you do:
The main reason Barbarian is good I think, is just Seism…and Pouncing!!^^ the others skills are pretty weak.
The hitbox of Helm Chop is so bad, and Cleave needs helm chop/stun to do decent damage but it’s quite low now.
Warcry/Frenzy are just average buff with long cooldown.
Frenzy’s stack isn’t good, so disappointed…
I don’t even try the achievements on 40k+ hp monster, they deal too much dmg and it’s just wasting time having to regen after each mobtrain.
When you have to grind, you just focus on the ~5/20k hp monster and burst them with Seism, Cyclone or Pouncing.
Auto atks, even with frenzy, are so low…
Yay I maxed pouncing, and it deals good damage for 10sec, but have long cd though.
Another problem is Dex/Leather/Evasion seems just useless late game.
I just sold all my leather item and prefer Full Plate now cuz monster deals tons of damage.
And for party, you’d better have more Hp to manage those monsters.
That’s why finestra/shield/block with con should be more decent
It’s nice playing the build though, yay pouncing is good =)
thanks for sharing your experience for now i went hoplite but i may also create a new char in the future
