Cecil's Cataphract build workshop

I won’t use Gungho since I prefer Guardian buff and I don’t like Concentrate either (hit count limit) so Thrust is the only choice.

I’ve tried using Impaler and choose not to take it because it’s hard to hit moving target, small damage, and too long animation time.

Thanks for the advice, but I want to go cata 3 for the chance of a hidden class for highlander c2 is a no go. The skill I chose with Barb are the only ones usable while mounted as written in : https://www.reddit.com/r/treeofsavior/comments/3m7kf7/mounting_and_skill_compatibility/

If I don’t go barb, I’ll probably end up going Swordy3 for restrain [I like the idea of slowing my opponents more than the mini stun mind you (not to mention it would cause steed charge to critic always)]. In case I go swordy3, i ll be comboing it with high str (I am a PvE over PvP type) so that the bleed from thrust is increased as much as possible too (well I intend to use thrust like a normal attack, spamming it).

Could you suggest some other possibility?

Well you don’t use Impaler for damage anyway, take it as a cc in PVP if you are going to pvp.

i still have some doubt about on my build but prob going something like it

Q: High guard need to be Lvl 6 or Lvl 1 to apply the damage bonus to umbo blow?

Q:Stead charge, its good or just an ok skill? Its looks to slow to cast…

can u use umbo blow or rim blow while mounting?
:slight_smile:

Yes you can don’t worry about that.

And how about stats?
I’m going for this build.

@VnZzz I’m using the same classbuild as you do. Here’s how i’m building it: http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/z4x3gfzmv3/

My stats are 100str, 70con, 50dex right now. Building up DEX untill 100+ and will see from there on how i will build it.

With this build I can solo-lvl really easilly and if I choose to do dungeons/Grind Parties, I can switch to my shield/1h and just tank the whole map. Works really well for me.

Haha nice man. Atm im going all in for CON bcz i got my Lyndeka 2h-spear.
I was thinking about 1:1 str:con but meh i’ll put my stats where i think i need :smile:
I have something like 119 str 123 con 8 int 45 spr 33 dex (full gear)

So nobody knows which stats should I get

every swordie needs at least 30+ dex and a few points on spr (30 can do too)
Doing it u can start plainning ur stat build. I dont know what u want to do, tank, dps, offtank… coockie cutter…
Oh u will need CON too bcz w/o if mobs will kill u very quickly n easy (50 con to get a nice hp)

Ty, I’m going to dps/pvp

Can i get a rundown on stats for this build?? Is going Str:Con 2:1 good? Looking for a good build that I can get a good balance of tank and dps. Any tips??

What is the recommended stat build?

Hey guys, sorry about the absence. My recommended stat build is:

PvE: 5 STR : 2 DEX
PvP: 1 STR : 2 CON : 1 DEX
Mix: 2 STR : 1 CON : 1 DEX

At least to the absolute best of my knowledge.

Hello @Cecil, Tnx for the the advice. and what about the bonus stats that are received in the statues and quests? all on Con?

ahhh i see gonna start pumping up some dex on my character been putting 2 STR and 1 CON kept my DEX at 20

I agree with you, but I think “DEX” is a waste of investment, since our avoidance is always horrible and we have a good chance to critical.
For PvP we need more acurracy, but we can invest in items.
I put a maximum of 20 in DEX for PvP and 0 to PvE.

Do we have a comparison here, like a cata player with focus on str and a different one with dex?
Use npc weapon or something. Use earth wave on the same mob and have a fact on both powers?
