Concerns about making a DPS Swordsman build

I’m wondering how DPS Swordsman, more in particular Barb / Dopple’s SP consumption is? many of what you have to use seems to require SP, vs Corsair which seems to be a class that mostly utulizes buffs but i could be wrong. is SP an issue for you at higher levels, assuming you wont build SPR? and how important is it to have all 3 : piercing, striking and slashing type attacks in your arsenal?

Well, I’m currently lvl 52 (Swordsman C1 - Highland C1 - Barbarian C1), and I don’t have any real issue with SP.

If you spam all your skills all the time you will run out of SP pretty fast, but Swordsman auto-attack have AoE and does great damage, so I mostly auto monsters and use Cleave and Cartar Stroke on large groups to clean them fast.

Dont know yet for later in the game, but pretty sure it will be similar. It’s all about managing your skills and not spamming like crazy for no reason.

sounds reasonable. alright

carry pots with you, lots and lots of pots haha

Well here is the build i am considering running with:

Highlander mainly because of the exclusive 2h Sword Critical Attack +10% attribute. I dont have any piercing, i decided to go all out on both Striking and Slashing. moreso slashing. and i went with Double Pay earn max in the end , in order to contribute more to drops in raids. Deeds of Valor i do want but having both Douple Pay Earn and Deeds of Valor looks suicidal and would require me to have to nerf my Mordschlag or Cyclone. both of which are invaluble imo to the kit of a dopple.

I’m doing a similar build, but I will tell you what I think.

You didn’t put any points in Helm Chopper and it is a pretty good skill. Also, it stuns the target and Cleave does more damage to stun targets, so they work pretty well together.

You took Bash as Swordsman, but took Mordshlag as Doppel. I think it would be better to go for Punish, because it has better AoE and damage on knockdown ennemies, and since Bash is a knockdown skill, it works very well with Punish.

Anyway, that’s what I’m going for, for these reasons.

Yea i forgot about the helm chopper thing. tbh i mainly got mordschlag for a strike against bosses since i cant KD them and use Piercing. think i’ll do a lil points swapping
