Kudos, sir. Nice to see someone still doing it for the swordies.
As for me, Iā€™m currently job lvl 1 with 313 unused stat points :smiley:
Jeez, I want C9.

Hehe itā€™s been always a problem for this unfinished game. Hopefully they give 1 untradeable rank reset per account every time they add a new rank.

Is cata really the meta now? I remember just awhile ago it was still shunned for PvE. Man, how fast the meta changes xD.

Sucks that catagoon is the meta nowā€¦ I only started a swordsman recently because I got sick of my pala-monk and I thought my build was non-meta lolā€¦ I mean no one would ever think to pick SW3 back in the daysā€¦ People were likeā€¦ no pelt1 = no party.

And I only took SW3 because I got sick and tired of getting knocked back and thrown around like a ragdoll by everything as a melee cleric.

@ZeroFoxGiven which cards do you use?

Last I played I had 3 lv.10 Nuaeles on slot. I wonder how much is that thing now. :open_mouth:

Build, equipment & strategies section updated!

I saw you skilling Concentrate to rank 14, is it still that relevant in the later stages of the game?

If I was to make my own build with Sword2 do you think getting it to 9 is still worth it? Or should I just ditch it

Yes, they reworked Concentrate to include a bit of your DEX (2%) and STR (4%) multiplied by skill level further added to skill value so at least it scales a bit now compared to the flat values before.

Check out the ā€œCaptionRatio2ā€ formula here to understand it better: https://tos.neet.tv/skills/10004

While it may seem weak, it actually isnā€™t since it scales well with Multihit skills which Goon builds have a lot.

Unless Iā€™m proven wrong, itā€™s also applied as pure damage at the end of the damage calculation so no matter how small your damage is on a target you are guaranteed to deal that additional pure damage per hit.

For example:

With Serpentineā€™s 7 hits, thatā€™s 1,820 pure damage already. If the enemy had a very high pDef that your calculated damage is drastically reduced to the hundreds, that pure damage is gonna stack up well. Cataā€™s Rush and Dopelā€™s Cyclone are going to make the most out of the buff due to high hit count.

Yes. Youā€™ll only need to get Gung Ho to lv.3 for the attribute. The bonus damage from further levels on it seems to be overshadowed by Headgear pAtk enchants alone.

Concentrate is the more future-proof buff unless they would rework Gung Ho as well though there really isnā€™t any demand for it.

I guess I will reroll my level 25 character then

Thank you for the detailed response :slight_smile:

Yeah, level 25 is still early.

If you donā€™t have any high level char on your account nor havenā€™t bought any or invested in account-bound stuff using TP, I recommend creating a new account to take advantage of the ā€œnew playerā€ event perks.

Updated build section to include possible rework of stats.
