Best jack of all trades build?

Heya guys.

Like many others, with the new balance patch and class reset rank I figured I’d come back to spend some times on the game. Originally I had made a support build S1>Pelesta3>Squire2>Templar1 to just have fun with friends. Welp they had left long ago but I continued playing for a while as a tank and then got bored and was too lazy to start again a new character from 0.

Now that the class reset is here, I’d like to know your thoughts about what would be the best ““jack of all trade”” (joat for short in the post…) build for a swordman.

When speaking about a joat build I don’t want to be able to take up any role in any group (what it is impossible to be a sword healer??) but that I wish for a build that can adapt to both solo, group PVE and group PVP.

First I’d like is to be able to play and manage quests and farming for collection (one thing I like is just logging in chosing a yet-to-be-completed collection and go farm while listening to music or whatever) without problem. Not saying I want an easy gameplay (on the contrary something that needs some skill to master would be better) but you might have guessed, with my last build as a solo player it was a pain in the ass to farm high level map.

Then I’d like to also be able to join PVE group without feeling useless. Be it either because I can assume a DPS or a TANK or a whatever role, in the future I won’t be playing only in solo and I don’t want it to be a pain in the ass to find a group because I’m supposed to be useless.

Eventually, something that can somehow manage in PvP. I know it won’t be the best build for PvP out there but if we can reduce a little the utility in PvE so that I can still have fun in PvP from times to times it would be nice.

If i were to summary :
1/ able to do solo storyline and farming without much incidence
2/ not useless in group PVE
3/ not too useless in PVP

Thanks in advance to the Swordman masters out there that’ll come up with their builds !

Hm sure I don’t expect Swordman to be the best class out there to be a Joat but knowing that I was curious to know what is the best build for Swordman that can do the job (even if it’s the worst out of all 4 classes) as I’d like to not start from scratch and continue my current Swordman.

But thanks anyway!

@Pavlychenko Thank you I’ll look into that. And what would be a nice addition for the R7 rank as Murmillo is available on Rank 8 ?

pelt3Rod3Murm fits r8 tho

SwPelt3Rod3Murm

either that or
Sw2PeltRod3ShinMurm/Sw3Rod3ShinMurm<more burst DPS oriented

Imo HopGoons and CataGoons are still fairly the better all rounder build.

Thanks for your reply.

Just went to check the HopGoons and CataGoons build that does exist and I might go with the Rugal’s build that has a great description and a lot of work on that one, at least for now and will see with the upcoming test of builds from players.

Odd as it may feel that build does make some sense now.
If I were you, just play around different class set-ups as you please for the first week then narrow down your choices on what to settle with using the info from various testers by the second week.
You can go balance around Str50-100+/Con50/Spr0-30/Dex50-100+ invested points just to be safe.

Looks like the smart move, will do. Thanks for your help!
