Gave up on tanking...need a DPS build

hello sir, is there a future patch for murmillo attribute using spear throw besides synchro thrusting?

From what I’ve seen it seems that they simply can’t dash?
Their speed doesn’t seem particularly slower than regular classes runing around.

The thing with the Hop3’s SpearThrow is it got poor/slow start-up and after cast delay, the good side is 0cd and bind debuff and yes it recently got a better damage. But hey Dethrone is pretty much a glorified Spearthrow in speed and damage minus the lost of weapon upon usage.

Not being able to dash in PVP is the equivalent of a crippled person trying to catch up to Usain Bolt

well, the intention of Murmillo is getting in with that one jump skill which seems to go out quite fat, so ehhhhh I gues it works as they want to a degree.

I don’t really like him, but he said he wants PvP 5v5. This build can only dethrone and then gapclose + chase with cyclone, because there are no roots apart from dethrone… well, ok, there is throwing spear that roots, but it is cast for sooooo loooongg. Sw2-Barb3-Doppel1-Dragoon2 honestly, if he dislike Corsair, Cata and Rodelero so much. Two chase skills vs one (Pouncing + Cyclone, pouncing also being a very good cc), additional stunlock (Restrain + Chopper/Seism). Greatest swordie problem in PvP - they just make one step to the right or to the left, and you miss.

But I am impressed you actually recommend a build to a person, wow xD

You have to choose u wanna PVE (earth tower, high aoe dps, wb ranking) or PVP.

Swordsman cannot have both.

As a Sw2-Hop2-Cor3 I totally agree. I’m not viable for all those meta PvE stuff, but I enjoy my 5v5s sooo muuch.

Quick question: is it possible to use Lancer skills without a mount?
Also how is lancer doing in PVP/PVE? Haven’t heard much about them.

You should not give up on tanking when Rank 8 is meant to BOOST shield users with Murmillo. Even full CON builds are viable.
Murmillo 2 (Rank 9) will have an insane scale on its skills. (12-16k Attack)
Murmillo 3 (Rank 10) (18-22k Attack)

The “sh*ttiest” skill from Murmillo, hits for 4,276 at lvl 1 with 2 overheats and 21 seconds cooldown.

Off- Topic:

I’m 99% sure Rank 9 will be the rank for Corsairs and Shinobis. Rank 8 will be a filler for what’s coming for R9. While, Doppel3 will fall down(a bit) when R9 comes out.

TL;DR:

Wait for Rank 8 (Late September)

Again, this is the video that made me give up tanking:

With mechanics in this game like this, what’s the point? The best way to mitigate damage is to prevent enemies attacking in the first place through cc. There is literally NO REASON anyone needs to deliberately take damage in the face. If you do end up in that situation, your clerics can put down safety zone to buy you some time before the cc kicks in. In fact, watching some lv 315 videos, some of the monsters hit 10k+ per hit, even if you have 70k HP and you take a few hits, your poor cleric won’t be able to sustain you very long.

Watch the video if you haven’t, many other tanks have quit because of this.

yup and you made a guide about murm. I hope those people see this before get fked.

I mentioned in that thread, if one day they add monsters that are immune to cc and can walk past barrier then tanks will be viable again. Haven’t seen this so far with the new content though.

If someone wants to wait for this day to come, it’s their choice. I personally can’t wait that long, but someone might. Murmillo’s disappointment broke it for me.

@GoldenCross If you checked cleric rank 8 updates, even imc admit tank role will be taken by kabbalist (merkabah skill IIRC)

Sure hope you’re right. I don’t know where you got that 99% from, don’t know how accurate it is, but just seeing that gives me hope lol.

I wonder if there will be people around to play rank 9 :stuck_out_tongue:
