Hi, i dont play in the first beta of TOS and i’m a little lost, i read few post about swordman but i don’t really help.
So i need some Tips for choose rank, attributes and skills, if you have a build too share i will take it too.
what i seek:
Thank you! (apolozige for my english)
The way you worded it, it sounds like you want us to do the research for you, which I will not.
Try testing out some builds on tosbase and see if any of the skills are to your liking.
no one here will make a build for you.
Take a look at the Cataphract job, if you came from sword and shield class, then hoplite to finish as cataphract you Will have great sustain(shield) , great attack power(spear), PLUS great mobility (mounted) u Will have great aoe (cataphract job) so, you Will reach your goals 
The problem is on TOSBASE no one explain his build, you have only the skills tree. Ok but i need more info like stats, weapons used, why this skills and not the other, etc…
it’s the reason why i’m lost, and it’s difficult to make a build with 100% theory without all the knowledge…
If you have a site with some complete guide-build, i’ll take it ^^
PLay whatever you want. Dont copy builds! Take your time to make YOUR build.
swd
peltast1 - shield skills and provoke
hoplinte1 - 1hand spear attribute and blocking buff
catphract3 - mount and aoe skills
Be like no one else, stay swordsman - haters gonna hate ^^
They dont need to explain it. People make a build based on skill usage and availability. when choosing classes you don’t chose it for the weapon, you make your choices depending on what skills you want to be able to have at your disposal.
Gear is simple; use the weapon you need for the skills to be activate-able, and get the best possible one.
When making your build you only look at skills. after you have a class path you want to take, then start looking at what those skill scale off of. For example the cleric heal scales from INT and Max HP more than anything. This is where your stats come from.
In a game like ToS there is no set path, no best option, its really all how you want to play. Feeling like you die too easily? add some CON to your build. Not enough damage? STR or INT. Its all personal experience and no one can tell you what to do, so don’t expect it.
thank for reply, i will try to do it myself ^^
In b4 he builds an int swordsman and blames you for lack of damage xD
There’s so many classes and build combinations you could choose from, you have a whole month to test some builds and if you don’t like it, try again xD
