In your opinion what would be the best PvP build for foot swordsman ??
I’m thinking:
something with rodelero 3 and/or corsair 2 in it,
definitely not doppel, maybe sword 2 hoplite 2 corsair 2 dragoon, or some kind of murmilo build
maybe sword 3 rodelero 3 corsair 1 at rank 7 and murmilo at rank 8, sounds good imo.
Obviously won’t be as good as cata 3 lancer, but these seem to be the best you can get out of a pvp swordy who isn’t a cata, rodelero corsair and swordsman c3 have the most utility and pvp playstyle out of all foot soldiers.

For example Hop2>Rod2>Draggon2 I would build 1:1 Con/Dex this build would be able to take alot of phisycal damage (shield + high evasion) and slitherring makes you avoid magic damage and gives 75% (or 70 not sure) resistance to status that you can combo with pain barrier for another 20%.
With this build you are garanteed to catch up to your target, once you connect you can lock them with knockbacks/rod cc and use spear lunge/serpentine > dethrone, I’m almost sure one dethrone hit with spear lunge debuff can take down a target.
depends which target, a full con wizard or cleric won’t die that easily.
You are also forgetting that at rank 8 there will be much higher armor.
IMHO, if you are a footie, you should get corsair1 outstanding cc and sure hold to combo your target down.
Currently im a sw>pel>hop2>rod2>corsair. I think its bad because i dont have enough dps to take down a target but i have lots of survivability. Hook and spear jump away also slithering to avoid being a sitting duck for 9 seconds(hook5). Hoping to reach murmillo to have additional dps and tankiness at the same time.
Sw3 is also a wise option since pain barrier helps alot. You only have 10 seconds of downtime with painbarrier15. Based on personal as well as videos from other players. Being a footsie relies heavily on your control of your character. Always dashing, Facing the right way to attack, skill timing and jump attacks all are essential to pvp. I would like to quote a korean murmillo player: “bash is most important skill of swordsman. If you know how to use bash properly you can be a good swordsman, if not… You are a bad swordsman”
And just an opinion: Being a swordsman is embracing that you are a masochist because it is extremely punishing and not even a bit rewarding.

not really, rank 8 swordies can at least have great bossing dps now according to ktos.
we need to wait until rank 10 to decide whether swordies are actually strong/week, this game haven’t fully developed.
I think at rank 8, it is fencer mixed with some utility.
Mainly because the crit skill can 1 shot ppl, so when u finally get ur chance, u can finish the job without target escaping.
