Dragoon Build advice

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

Hello! So I’ve started planning a build for OBT. (Whenever that is :open_mouth: ) This is of course difficult to plan when there’s not a lot of information on higher level classes as they weren’t available in CBT but the Dragoon was looking pretty awesome and I couldn’t resist. So here is what I was thinking…


For Stats I was thinking mostly STR with some CON.
The reason I called it Dragoon 1h? is because on tosbase the class description says they will gain more advantages when using a two-handed spear rather then one-handed.

The other variations I thought of were doing Swordsman C2 (This would be for a 2h variation) instead of Peltasta (Which is literally just for Swash Buckling) or switching out Doppelsoeldner with Hoplite for Mounting/trot.
Something else I considered was getting a few other skills on the hoplite tree but that would of course mean less points in stabbing/pierce.

Alright so thoughts/advice on those. Thanks.

Im going the same build, maybe I add Cataphract but it depends on how good it was buffed. I wonder why you didnt inculde Deeds of Valor, since it synergies so well with Hoplite’s autoattack style.

Honestly I wasn’t sure how detrimental the defense decrease would be, especially against bosses, and I just went with the safe bet which was another attack. I’m still undecided on it though :cold_sweat:

It’s been a while since I looked at the changes, but when Dragoon was announced I was thinking of going Swordsman C1 > Highlander C2 > Hoplite C3 > Dragoon. It will give me an assortment of skills that are Pierce, Slash and Strike and probably easier leveling as a Highlander.

i was thinking of going hop3>cat>dragoon.

#6

why not hop2>cata2>dragoon? with finestra level 10 you can keep this buff on almost 100% of the time
and correct me if i’m wrong, but with a good party you won’t need the other +50 critical rate bonus from finestra lvl 15

and maybe i’ll go hop2>cata3>lancer in the future… so sad that we don’t know anything about lancer yet Ç.Ç

i think they just changed the cata skills to always hit 5 times at any level, and i don’t think trot is that useful unless it’s maxed. i’m also more interested in the block%, with a con and strength build and not a dex and high crit one. seem like it might be good to take a lot of physical hits and have higher hp for magic ones.

#8

oh, i got it…
yeah, i’m worried about that 5 hits at any level…

#9

That’s something I didn’t consider, waiting to get Hoplite… It could work out quite nicely. Something to consider at the very least. :smile:

as hoplite2/corsair2 in kobt

hoplite make your build leans toward STR which is good for lv <220. STR also need shild to make up lack of evasion.

agaist 200k hp normal mob all you need is to survive before your target is killed. consider this if you gonna take no shield STR build.
