Did i do something wrong with my build?

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

Hi forum, I’m Barbig0n and I’m pretty new to this game. Just start with my 1st swordie 2 days ago and there’s been something that was on my mind all along. Why didn’t I feel anything strong from this swordie (I was gonna go with fencer and going high dex with 35 con added btw. The build is 3SW>Pel>Cor>3Fen and I’m following this guide http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/sjo6ldfo2a/[/url])

Up till now ( Lvl 102 / SW3+Pel ) I was doing just fine grinding I didn’t see that I lack dmg, but when I did the Lvl 90 dungeon I feel like I don’thave that much impact to the whole team. All I can do best is to use Swash Buckling and pull many mobs so that my teammate can finish them easily. I feel like I lack dmg even though I already know that this swordie ain’t gonna deal dmg like wizs, archs, even clerics do (lol). That brought me back to when I was thinking about making a fencer and thought it was a good decision as Fencer can evade and deals dmg. I’m pretty sure that I am well aware that this situation is gonna happen sooner or later, but It just went (I’d say) a bit worse than i was thinking. So guys please, as an experience swordies.

  • Did I mess up something?
  • Am I not good enough with this game (never played games like this before, never touch RO)
  • Is my patience a little bit short (is it because i’m still at sw3 and it’s not gonna shine at this point?)
  • Is it about the funding?

I’m not gonna drop this character though just curious :stuck_out_tongue:

Have a nice day ya’ll

1- no
2-no
3-yes. Sw sucks fencer only shine at C2 onward which is literally late build.
4-Funding will help but it’s more because Fencer only shines at C2-> C3 period.

All swords pre 7 is pretty weak.

#3

pretty sure some rank 5-6 classes are very strong now.

HL1/3>Barb1/3
Hop3 cancer spear throw

doppel cyclone with dov attackspeed

even cata rush does a lot

#4

Eh doppel still sucks pre 7 (not joking lol) The damage is not as significant (as dopple 3 where you have zwer + more spins and attack speed dov 15/cyclone 15).

As compared across. (wugu, QS3, meme, etc)

Hop3 Spear is a improvement but without investment
it’s still subpar as compare to retarded stuff like meme -_-…

Wasn’t cata subpar unless funded?

#5

My doppel is actually destroying things because of DOV.
attack speed works on cyclone even without the buff active lol

The new HL3>Barb1 I made always gets rank 1 on siauliai bosses, which means consistent dps, that’s without any damage enchancing attributes spent yet.

Same goes to my HL1>barb3, I think pouncing bug resetting damage dealt got fixed

and about that hop3 spear throw, we did a 190 clear and the hop3 pretty much did all the work even if we just AA’ed you wouldnt notice any difference in wave clear times

also to OP your question already got answered, you picked the hell route that will shine later.

#6

Yea the bloody glitch which is for the whole map until you change a map or reset. Yes the pouncing bug was fixed iirc 2 patch back.

There are players like me using shiet gear with attribuites rerolling new character. My krivis literally got no 1 in almost all bosses :sweat:

Well we all know that swordies are still really subpar pre 6 exception for some invested builds.
No one seems to be complaining swordies are weak now :kissing:

P.S i still suffer from my pelt 3 rod 3 templar phobia.

#7

lol, I am the opposite

the goal on this game is to create as many alts and for each and every new alt born it gets even stronger without anything spent

Only my fencer has attributes spent, the rest I’ll wait for maybe rank9 or 10 because of how this game works

#8

That’s technically true since you can share equipment.

Lol but i side towards party orientated or “already decided ranks” that will lead to r9 at least so it’s kinda safe for me to throw into the attributes

(well at least for those characters)

@Barbig0n

anyway OP good luck. Endure. I assure you if you endure through Fencer to Circle 3 you will find great joy in it.

#9

Thanks both of you. :slight_smile:
The next question is since I’m not funded and going fencer is though. If you guys are in the situation like me would you rather
1.create a new char that is easy to play even unfunded
2.just go straight with the same plan as Fencer??

If the answer is 1st choice can you guys give me a suggestion about what class (don’t have to be swordies) is good in your opinion??

btw sorry if I’m asking for too much but since i don’t have that much time playing i don’t wanna regret and end up with a reroll

#10

If you have spare time. Go ahead and make another alt to fund it.

For example a scout 3 which excel in farming. 0 Funds scout 3 can easily farm daily up to 1m silver in 145 dungeon.

After all the aim is to have fun and enjoy what you are playing.

#11

Create another alt while progressing your fencer.

You can continue that but it won’t be as strong that fast.

Archer to farm if you have the time to do full dungeon clear runs.

If not, you can take clerics

Heh, I’ve played too much swordsman classes(not counting the ones I deleted) to know that they need much more investment compared to other classes.

Most new rerolls into fencers have it easy because it isn’t their first character.

and that new barb below is my OP alt that crits 6k normal attack as level 132.

i see, thanks again guys
i will be building my archer tonight then :smiley:

see you guys later. I may need help from both of you again every now and then lol

#15

Cheers

@Lostac

hi 5, swordies are without doubt the most expensive at the moment…

Followed by Archer/Mage then cleric.

I dropped my doppel due to that but my guildie seem to be doing well with it (occasionally will “do some test” experiments using that)

For now i side towards archer… swordie doesn’t seem like my cup of tea. Although i am still playing my templar once in the blue moon…

make sure you do either scout3 variants if you want to farm dungeons

you need about 20± mins to clear though as a newborn scout
