Cataphract Question & Answer

Class and Rank
#1

Hi I would like to verify the weapon capabilities of a Cataphract.

Is it possible for a Cataphract to wield a Single Hand Sword Weapon and Shield while using the Peltasta Skills and then switch over to a lance/spear to use its Cataphract skills? Or is the Cataphract skills going to work on the sword? Does skills require a specific weapon to activate?

Or is it possible for a Cataphract to use the hoplite skills(spear base) skills while it uses the lance type weapon?

A lot of questions needs to be clarified when it comes to this class wielding weapon.

PS: If there is an answer already for this question please leave the link below and Iā€™ll gladly close the topic. ā€œSorry for my bad english XDā€ Also if there are people who needs some question answered please dont hesitate to post it here as long it is in reference with the Cataphract Class :slight_smile:

Letā€™s see, for example Cataphractā€™s Impaler:

Req. Stance: TwoHandSpear, OneHandSpear, OneHandSpearShield. So thisā€™ll mean you can only use this skill while using these combinations.

If we now look at Peltastaā€™s Rim Blow:

You can see that one of its Req. stances is, conviniently, OneHandSpearShield.

But as you can see, itā€™s not with sword, but Spear. So you can use Spear + shield for both Cataphract and Peltasta skills, but only Peltasta with Sword + shield.

Hope it helps :smile:

Oh it definitely helped a lot! Cause you know its CBT3 tomorrow so Im going to test the Peltasta+Cataphract and Swordsman3x>Cataphract build.

I was wondering what would be with the skill of Cataphract(Rush) will it work with just single spear? it looks on the video it needs 2 hand spear.

In the teaser for CBT 3, one of the point of interest was ā€˜Restriction on the use of skill depending on the type of items you use have been removed as much as possibleā€™.

Basically some of the info we have now will be outdated, so keep your eyes out :3

#6

Yeall thats one thing Iā€™ll look into tomorrow. Also a question about the Swordsman Rank. Does anyone knows if Gung Ho & Concentrate Buffs stack?

#7

I just tested the skill this afternoon and yes it do Stack. What doesnt stack is the Guardian Buff from a Peltasta and Gung Ho it overlaps the other

I have confirmed some skill of cataphract can be used while not in mount like ground wave. Im not yet sure with the other skills like doom spike and Impale.

#9

Can you test if itā€™s possible to use it with 1H spears + shield? And if you went Hoplite, if Hoplite skills can be used while mounted.

#10

The skills can be used in single hand spear as the skill description stated

Yehey. Thanks thanks.

@Etherstar
Is there any way to reset skills and stat?

#13

So far no stat reset/skill and IMO I wouldnā€™t think them implementing that sooner or later

#14

This has probably already been answered but can a Cataphract class use swordman buffs with a spear such as Gung ho/concentrate?

#15

From the video you can see heā€™s on gungho buff. From toswiki stated both skill are usable on mount.

Iā€™m still deciding concentrate vs gungho as I really want pain barrier in my build tho

#16

whats your final class if may I ask so I can give my suggestion

#17

Swordsman C3 Cataphract C3

#18

you can get all the buffs from swordsman then focus on active skills on Cataphract. Of course just dont forget to max trot.

#19

Thanks man, Iā€™m playing iCBT now. Seems like concentration only add extra damage while gungjo add extra physical attack. In the long run I believe gungho will out damaged significantly. And playing without any attacking swordsman skill is possible but then with just auto attack to swordsman c3 is like living zombie :smiley:

#20

well you really dont have a choiceā€¦ Then again IMO I will have Gung Ho and Concentration max. Besides Concentration last only 4 Hits after that you will have to wait for its cool down again. On the other hand Gung Ho is at least 1 min, downside is it will reduce your def significantly if its max out >__<ā€¦ Doesnt matter to you if youā€™re an evasive type cataphract or probably a high vit cataprhact
