Giving Swashbuckling to Swordsman C1 hurts dps swordsman builds anyways though, because now swordsmen will be expected even more to always be the tank.
Such an idiot poll. You are crying about swashbuckling because u go in full dps route and realize that u are pretty useless late game. Donāt get me wrong but going pelta 1 as a dps arenāt that bad and its fcking better compared too highlanders that are pretty dumb end game.
I clicked āNOā
Why?
The answer is simple.
Taunting skills are tank specialiaty and should be left in there. Problem is that people see swordmans only as tanks. Then I ask, for what did ICM create so many classes if they could just leave it as archer/swordman/wizard/cleric at the end? We have so high class diversity in order to have load of roles in every of them. Even swordman should have a class that is heavy support role (centrurion sems like one, squire is though outside of battle).
While Swordsman classes certainly can also use improvements in other areas iāll only comment on the question of the first post:
I donāt think itās a good idea to move one of the main Pelta skills to the Swordsman circle, because it would take away a great reason to actually take Peltasta and many people who took Peltasta in their build just because of Swash Buckling would be screwed. Thatād be like moving Barbarians Berserk to Swordsman C1 or Doppels Cyclone to Swordsman C1.
What could be done as an alternative is to add a new skill named āTauntā to the Swordsman C1:
-only 1 skill level
-2 sp cost
-single target
-1 second cooldown
-effect : increases aggro of a single enemy
That way every swordsman, regardless of skilltree and if he desires, can play pseudo-tank and try to keep aggro of at least a single target by spamming the new āTauntā skill and also taunt a group of enemies, although it would require alot more work since youād need to taunt each enemy separately, while Peltasta can still use Swash Buckling for easy mass-aggro and increased hp (while also benefiting from the new taunt skill to keep aggro of bosses even easier).
not agree adding swash buckling to swordman c1.
but agreed swordman should have taunt skill
example: skill name : Taunt
taunt an enemy, to attack you. (only 1 enemy)
cooldown, 15second for level 1, 1second for level 15.
1second cooldown reduced per level.
or
taunt enemies to attack you,
AOE taunt much smaller than swash buckling,
1 level = 1 enemy taunted, max level 10, max 10 enemies taunted.
taunt effect decrease your def by 10%, but increase attack and block rate 5%. for 10second (no block rate effect if no shield or cross guard)
cooldown 45second
making swordman able to control aggro but not effective as peltasta. as peltasta is the main tanker.
thats the most retarded tos thing i have ever read. you can just attack any monster. Provoke does +500% aggro damageā¦ The skill is worse than just normally attacking the monsterā¦
