GvG/PvP - Need Help!

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

Help me decide my build !

Doppel foot soldier:



Pros:

  • Iron hook - lvl 10 cyclone - Cross Guard or cleave (+50% slash damage )
    Cons:
  • No trot (- 10 movespeed vs dash)
    Combo:
    Pain barrier > CC > cleave > Cyclone x2 (11 seconds with 95% resistance)

Mounted Doppel frontliner:


Pros:
Trot - Mobile skills - rush
Cons:

  • No access to Blocks - no hard CC.
    Combo:
    Pain barrier > CC > Rush > Cyclone x 2 ( 21 seconds with 90/95% resistance )

I’ve seen both builds and both of them are strong, but I’m having a tough time deciding, please shine some light on this matter !!

Thanks.

There’s way more builds for GvG and PvP for swordman than those three, but if i was to pick one, i’d pick s3c3. You can’t use Cyclone while mounted, that’s a con, hence most c3 pick Dragoon instead, plus spear weapon.

The way you want to build Corsair is not really effective, targetting with Iron Hook is really hard on open battles. Arrest from Squire1 is more effective, cause you can target 5 enemies instantly to let your team mates finish the job. If that’s what you want. Corsair would work with C2 or C3 on a different build.

I have a character @ 240+ with the 1st build and it’s solid when it comes to 1v1 against other physical peeps. Highlander’s Crossguard roots on successful block for 7-8 seconds that combos into point blank Hook so you can DPS with cyclones / double slash / dopp c2 skills. In GvG and Team Battle it will probably do fine too. Leveling is a pain though.

#4

Do you have much trouble chaining knockbacks into hooks ( for when enemy has CC imunity ) ?

Thats my only concern about this playstyle really.

#5

Can you list some ? Thanks.

#6

If you catch another sword without pain barrier on or any other class and land a bash you can easily chain to hook by walking or dashing to them. From my experiences, chaining knockdowns is ping reliant and requires some timing.

Landing a bash is the hard part.

Can anyone list/share some GvG builds? I’m not into dueling but I do like open field, fps killer battles. I can see Cata-goon being useful due to mobility and Impaler but I can’t see anything past that. I’m really interested in Rodelero due to lots of CC but anything that makes me a “disabler” would be nice (since I can’t see swordies slaughtering people either).

You can take Rod1-2 for Montano and Shoving for CC. Slap a Cor1 for hook and you’re golden. For rank 7 you can take Fencer I guess. Mobility is the issue still but whatevs let them come to you.
