[Guide] Hoplite - By Cathexis

And how much CON you should put on hoplite ?

[Derael]

I’d say 40-100. Less is suicidal, more may be obsolete.

Hey Cathexis, i need your help!
I´m Pelt c1> Hop c3, i want something more pvp, do u think taking cata c1 or c2 worth ???
Or go for the safe route dopel > dragoon, is it good on pvp?

[mykelxiii]

Is cata1 still viable for rank 6 after hopc3?

[Kostik]

I would suggest going doppel>dragoon.

Reason for that is cata will not do any good at c1 and at c2 it will not even come close to dragoon.

But if we look for the future and ranks 8-10 posibilities, idk, cata might be viable… but no one knows this

Edit: english is hard - grammar fixes

[Cathexis]

Whats should i max as Hoplite c3? Pierce or Stabbing? From my experience stabbing does a lot more damage to bosses compared to pierce at lower levels. Im at hoplite c2 now.

Stabbing should be maxed out in general, but if you are looking to have more burst for something like PvP, then Pierce would be a better option although it is the less popular option

If you want to PvP it is better to go with Cataphract C3 instead, because with the Hoplite C3 route you don’t have any CC or real mobility so you are at a huge disadvantage.

Is cata1 still viable for rank 6 after hopc3?

Not really, you don’t gain much by doing that when compared to Doppelsoeldner.

But seriously guys, I am not responding anymore in here. I moved all the conversation to the “new” thread a while ago, so I don’t really look in here anymore:

[mrrain.87]

Hi Cathexis. Really loved your guide and help me a lot.

Btw Cathexis. I haf 2 build in mine.

Swordsman > Pelt > Hop C3 > Doppel > Dragoon
Swordsman > Pelt > Hop C2 > Corsair C2 > Dragoon

What u think about this 2 build ??
Which one should i choose ?? (Pve 70%, Pvp 30%).

[elwndelapika]

How about hop c2 > cata c1 > Doppel c1 > Dragoon?

[mathias_cronquist]

u either go cata 3 or nothing, Cata is usually good for pvp cause of Rush, the moving speed and the earth wave awesome aoe
In pve they are decent but not the best
