Hi, I am wondering what lvl of guardian I should get for this build? Right now I am thinking 2-8 (depending on how many points I put into umbo, though I am not sure. Also, wondering if rod1 would be a good choice for R5 or should I rather go with squire?
no
sword3 is the best
then 2free circle left for u
if u really want to play pel3, get sword2
guardian1 or max whatever u want
just use gung ho while focus dealing damage, so it’s doesn’t matter
u don’t need a lot of attack skill
just pain barrier, buff, spam fencer skill
Sorry, but I don’t want Swordsman3. I won’t PVP with this build so don’t really restrain, getting sw3 just for pain barrier seems not worth it. I take pelt3, for max swash and umbo thrust. Also, I want something different from everybody else 
About Guardian you say to keep it at lvl 1 or max it whatever though its not that easy. I want to find the best trade off between attack and defense. If we could just change the lvl skill lvl like in RO then it would be an easy decision, but since that is not possible, I will have to find a good middle.
Edit: I think I will go with Pelt3 Sw2 as you said. Just still not sure on how many points I should put in guardian…
Edit2: Actually, decided to pick squire1 at R5, for more party utility later and saving silver 
pel3 is not worth unless u going to play with unlimited aoe char
it doesn’t matter how many mob u aggro, it’s still cap with "aoe ratio, target limit"
sw3pel2 or sw2pel3 if u really want pel3
pain barrier is main issue for fencer
fencer must keep standing to spam 0cd "attaque composee"
with max pain barrier and sw3 attribute, uptime is 34/39s
sw3 is optimal choice
guardian 1 or 15 is easy to think
gung ho and guardian will cancel each other
mostly just go 15 for maximum defensive stat, ignore attack penalty
then use
or guadian 1 then keep using it over gung ho
fencer doesn’t need attack skill from other class
so pel’s skill point is doesn’t matter
squire1 isn’t worth since u need maximum over repair on rapier
rapier have low durability, that make lv15 repair is a lot better
why saving 5k when u can make 110k silver in 3min by rush 290dg
weapon maint that isn’t lv15 is retard and no one wanna using it even for free
so squire3 or no squire
check other topic for more info
believe other or believe yourself then reroll later is your choice
all your attacks will hit different enemies, so you debuffs will probably all be wasted. best to take small groups and stick to copuille and pierce skills.
