Cataphract > Shinobi... Viable?

Greetings!

Long story short, I’m think about trying this build and I wanted your opinion on it’s viability for both PVP and PVE in their several possible scenarios (1v1, arena and GvG for PVP and Leveling, World Bossing and ET for PvE).

Thanks in advance,

A fellow Savior.

EDIT: I might as well drop 9 points from impaler into doom spike. Fellow Catas, what do you think?

This build is interesting af. You got that prime cata3 mobility with rush + restrain and the ability to go invis with range damage from kunai. If all skills checkout on mount, I wouldn’t want to 1v1 you in battle league or something. Any reason why you chose Shinobi over Dragoon??

its good tho but not as good as other build with catac3 such as dopple and dragoon. and just a side note that you will be unmounted when you are in stealth mode, because pet cant stealth. and also you have no synergy for your clone using kunai… but hey thats a unique build.

Thanks for all the replies!

So, just a lil’ bit of explanation here. I’m aware that I can’t use shinobi skills when I’m mounted, but I’d choose shinobi over dragoon just because dragoon feels kind of… Meh. Shinobi, on the other hand, has great burst potential, stealth and looks awesome.

Looking at my rotation, I can burst every 49 seconds for 20 seconds with my clones. I can use both shinobi skills and swordsman skills with them, and that’s why I go sword 3.

Kunaix2 > Bashx3 > Double Slashx3 > Bashx3 > Kunai x2, that’s the burst combo.

During those 29 seconds of downtime, I’d do regular cata stuff. Ofc that’s for PVE, as I will have no time to do the whole combo in pvp. For PvP I’d have the stealth as utility and the clone > kunai combo + mount & run away after. Also, for the 29 sec downtime, I still have the regular cata stuff (grabbing someone with impale, rush stun lock, etc.)

The reason I go for this is because I was going for shinobi anyway and just HAD to go sword 3. Then there’s rank 4 5 and 6 open for discussion, and taking Cata just felt like putting everything on it’s right place. But I’d still like to hear what you guys think about this! :slight_smile:

Bash is junk, replace it with Thrust in your rotation. Should be Kunai>Double Slash>Thrust like a madman>Kunai.
