Help with my weird build. Is it viable?

#1

I was a full dex barb in icbt1 and icbt2, I am not very knowledgeable on other classes. Since the full dex barb isn’t viable anymore, and doppels are nerfed, i decided to ditch it and look for other builds.

This is what I came up so far:
build1: Sword>Peltasta>Barb3>Corsair2
build2: sword>Peltasta>Hoplite2>Corsair2>Dragoon
Stat: Initially 50 dex then I switch to 4str:1con

In build 1, I decided to go corsair instead of dopel since I feel like it would be stronger with Jolly Roger and hekken (Iron hook for PVP sounds good too). I also went with peltasta over highlander since I want swashbuckling. I’m not even sure if this is viable. Will I keep aggro when I switch to 2handsword after swashbuckling? Also, what weapon does Corsairs use? Can I still go 2hand sword?

Build2 seems like the safest, and seems to be the more popular one. But I still can’t picture how this build is like in the long run.
What do you think? is my build any viable? What would you change about it? please pardon my ignorance. Thank you!

Every resonable build is viable !!
I heard that CON is a bit useless.
Better do more dmg and keep aggro.
I heard that all-in STR or all-in DEX are both viable, and that maybe a symbiose of both could be better.
Every swordman is in some way tanking, whether it is dps or support…
Better do more dmg, keep aggro, and kite…
Just sharing facts and some opinions =P

I’m referring to this guide http://www.tosgame.net/guide-swordsman-all-classes-and-best-builds/

I see, so you propose 4str:2dex? and con when i get bonus stats from quests?

#4

Not sure, I still wonder of all this dear, still learning from others =P It could be good STR 4:2 DEX or STR 2:4 DEX… still don’t know
