I guess i have to go full str:dex then, huh. After the dory, what weapons would you recommend for me to get?
no, do not ditch con
put AT LEAST 50 con, my lancer got 35k hp and still struggle and die fast in these maps.
for weapons my lancer is still using a cata pike, i will recommend either cata pike, cripple, or hell’s demon pike and eventually sacment or regard horn pike.
until you are able to actually get a hold of these 315 weapons, i would use cata pike hell’s demon pike or cripple.
cripple is pretty expensive, hell’s demon pike is cheaper and catapike has crit rate, honestly a matter of preference.

Ah i meant that i’m already like 30 or so con, and that (most) of my remaining stats go towards str and dex. I guess ill go 60-70 con since i’m prone to lagspikes here and there.
I´ll be making this build as well, was looking for exact skill distribution ty :), also what good gears for lvling (im asking for mostly spears since the armor/acc i know)
1handed spears shield, 2 handed spears?
Also stats i was thinking something like 4:1:2 str:con:dex , but would say 50con be enouhg for all new pve content right now? how muhc hp would that give me by say 280 - 300 ?
20-22k hp naked, you’ll struggle no matter how much hp you have as i said my lancer got 35k hp and struggling
CON is very important, I have at least 100 CON on my Hoplite as of level 205.
Oh and remove Thrust from your skill set. The skill Concentrate is much better, it’s like having your very own blessing. Also, remove one point from Rim Blow and add it to Guardian. The evasion gained from the Guardian attribute can be helpful at times when tanking bosses.
With regards to equipment, here’s the rundown:
Weapons:
75 - Grand Spontoon
120 - Zega Spear AND Seimos Spear or Tilly Spear
The Zega Spear is not not really used for killing but instead, used for giving you +2 levels on your Finestra skill. You hotkey the Zega Spear, cast Finestra and then switch over to the main spear that you use for damage. I suggest that the Seimos Spear be used for damage. Since, it gives crit rate and I believe it’s cheaper than the Tilly Spear. Don’t quote me on this, though. However, choose whichever spear you want. Both are great.
170 - Magas Spear AND Brandish Spear AND Geras Spear
- Magas spear is for general mobs and leveling since it adds bonus damage to medium-sized monsters. And most, if not all, mobs are generally medium-sized. A Magas Spear should cost less than 1M. I crafted mine by buying all the ingredients from the market and it cost me around 300K to craft.
- The Geras Spear is also for leveling and dungeon mobs ONLY when using the Spear Throw skill. Since the update, Spear Throw is a beast against mobs. Generally, I can deal 9K-12K damage per cast and the skill is easily spammed. All you need are a couple of Blue Potions to keep your SP up. A Geras Spear is the cheapest of the 3 spears and should cost less than 300K. I crafted mine by buying all the ingredients from the market and it cost me around 100K to craft.
- A Brandish Spear is used against bosses. It adds bonus damage against large type monsters and, as far as I know, it’s comparable to that of the Catacombs Spear in this regard. The spear should cost around 1.5M
- And yes, I use all 4 spears (Geras, Brandish, Magas AND Zega for Finestra) as I level and do my dungeons. Life has been easy for me, especially since Spear Throw has been buffed.
220 - Really not sure, I think the three spears from the previous section should do you fine until 270
270 - Lolopanther Spear
Haven’t gone up this far yet. But I know that this was the best spear before Rank 8 came out.
Armor:
170 - Roxona Set
(It’s all I know XD)

At level 68, buy Cafrisun set and keep Sacrament and Blessing all the time
This should help you 1 or 2 shot most of mobs under level 100

^^^ What he said. ^^^
The Cafrisun armor set in combination with Pardoner buffs (which includes Aspersion, since it does wonders at reducing damage) make your life easier as you quest and dungeon. I only used the Cafrisun while I was leveling and only up till level 170. (Switched over to Roxona permanently at this level). When I went and did my dungeon runs, I always removed my Cafrisun set and switched over to Plate armor. The armor truly helps in reducing damage.
You either:
-rotation between knockdown CC Bashes and damage skill/AA
-Do NOT stand where the poles are
Magic melts every one, simply, ‘dont let em kill you’ by disabling them from attacking thru your CC skills(not viable on elites n bosses)

@NoElement By the way, which server are you on? Im over at Telsiai and you can PM me in-game if you are too. I can help you out with equips, skill advice and potential leveling spots.
I’m on Klaipedia with my guild. Don’t worry about me - i have other things i’m terribly busy with. Thanks for the offer - and the input, it is very helpful!
what about cards gems? tnx for the answers btw 
hmm green gems on gear, and cards are very expensive and takes a lot of time, if you have silver then glass mole imo.
My main is inquisitor, my secondary is dragoon. So take my advise with grain of salt. But here is what I got for my dragoon so far. 70 total CON/170 total STR/ rest is dex. She is 273 right now.
With the buff to hop3 spear throw + medium damage attribute, it performs very well farming 145 solo.(I use geras spear) and catacombs pike for bosses.
I like playing it. Felt underwhelming until about 220 or so, after that, I had no issues so far.
Gear progression is simple, focus on attributes, get whatever gear you get.
Roxona plate is decent, virtov can replace it later. For roxona only go for top and bottom. Slashing gloves and whatever their upgrade is sweet. And those swordsman exclusive +2 move speed boots.
Attributes make a HUGE difference, esp spear throw and stabbing. Serpentine over dragon tooth in that regard as well. Once dragoon two dethrone over anything.
I will try to take her to 315+ sometime soon for the card exploration bonus on new maps. And will probably leave it tthere
Whats about Pierce?
It feels very slow should i keep the points (got it on lvl1) and put the points in Long stride/Spear throw?
Finestra 15 Stabbing 15 Longstride 8 spearthrow 5 spear lunge 1?
How would you compare an Inquisitor and Dragoon 2 for the new content? I’m planning to reroll and I’m not sure which of the two is better.
I like them both. But inquisitor seems to be performing a little bit better solo.
I got C2-diev2-monk3-inquisitor so I have World Tree, Safety Zone, Fade, and a LOT of knock back. so I can stay alive for a far longer times then my Dragoon 2.
But Dragoon 2 seems to have a larger burst. It is a lot faster at bosses and can clear 145 for silvers waaaaay faster them my inquisitor.
So idk… I will probably play both at the end of the day
if you have access to good shields (didel tower or aias) you can probably survive very well on a dragoon too. I just feel lazy switching gears, so my dragoon is quite undergeared. But I was able to clear first few maps with what ever gear I got and my +8 cata pike

I’m planning on going Pala Inquisitor, or is monk3 better? Thanks!
Since you are lvl 68, for questing and such get cafrisun set and some elemental property headgear. everything should die in a couple hits. Dont forget pardoner buff and get an arde dagger at lvl 75 if you can afford one. I have a char with the same build and used this set up til around lvl 150-160.
Get another set of gear and a shield for dungeons.
I went Monk, because I already had monk3… pala 3 inquisitor is as effective(may be even more). but this is off topic
