[Help] PvPish tank build? Anyone?

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

HELP! I fell in love with the swordman! :sob:

Now I have to make a rather decent tank with some PvP capabilities, because I realized that Iā€™m going nowhere without taunt in PvE. I was thinking about something like peltasta c2 -> rodelero c2 -> ?. I dislike fencer for his style and his ridiculously fragile weapon. Would corsair work in this build?

I was wondering about several things: is Jolly Roger useful in PvE parties? Does the passive from Swash Buckling work in PvP? Will I be any kind of help in PvP with Iron Hook + Keel Hauling + several CCs? This build is not meant to be any sort of dd. Being tanky and annoying is way more fun for me! :blush:

go rode 3 for high kick, get the umbo blow knockback or stun or both, you can alternate pelt 2 for sword 3 for even more pvp strength but weaker pve.

SB doesnā€™t work in pvp other than giving u the bonus HP attribute and maybe corsair 1 for iron hook and its attribute.

Thanks for your input. I donā€™t want to get rid of peltasta. I know: every single skill is just crap in PvP and the only good thing about it is probably the HP attribute.

Iā€™ve started thinking about two alternatives:

I was originally aiming for peltasta c2, but only because I couldnā€™t find a better circle for this spot. Peltasta c1 is all you need and every additional rank makes me feel kinda sad about myself. :yum:

keep in mind that high kick stops an enemy from moving and enhancing strike damage ( shooting star ) and shield charge knocks down enemies in pve and pvp

P.S i have pelt 2 and SB gets so many mobs to attack me, feels nice and rodeleroā€™s montano slash knocks down an enemy and spins theme, targe smash is RNG

Okay. I forgot about Shield Charge, but I donā€™t get your point about High Kick + Shooting Star. Shooting Star should be slash damage, if I can believe the description of this skill planer. Are the descriptions actually wrong?

they changed it in ktos, so itā€™ll probably be changed here too.

(Sword -> Sword -> Sword-> Rode -> Corsair -> Rode -> Rode)

This might be useful.

I, for example, am making a Sword -> Pelt -> Pelt -> Rode -> Corsair -> Rode -> Rode for pvp, Iā€™m waiting for R8 to close my build.

@Your build

It requires too much swapping, I think that Corsair C1 is more than enough.

#8

Yeah after all the additional information Iā€™ve got, I actually was thinking about dropping Corsair down to C1 and avoid weapon swapping at all. High Kick alone seems to be worth taking Rodelero C3 over Corsair C2. With all those nasty CCs from Rodelero C3 and Corsair C1, I shouldnā€™t miss Restrain from Swordman C3 too much. Also the whole Pain Barrier thingy shouldnā€™t be needed too much with a PD or something like Oracle.

For know Iā€™m aiming at something like this: http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/jtump5t71u/

It should be enough for doing some GvGs and basic PvP (just to enjoy yourself). I wanted too level a ā€œrealā€ PvP swordman build, but they all seem to be pretty cheesy/one trick ponies and wonā€™t find a spot in any PvE party at a certain point.

just hope allies can follow u up with all the lag and chaos of gvg
