Currently lv 230
Sword1 - Pelt 1 - Hoplite 3 - Doppel 1 - Shinobi
What stats / skills / gears?
it was one of my first character 
Is this build even good anymore? leveling to 330? or reroll?
Plrease help 
ty in advance.
Everyone will tell you to reroll sword -pelt2-rod3-shinobi-murmillo like sheep
so my build isn’t good? o-o sorry I don’t really play swordies, but i want to pick it up over christmas and level it.
Rank 8 -> Murmillo.
Though you need spear + shield.
Burst: Spear lunge debuff & murmillo headbutt (debuff attribute) -> clone hoplite syncho thrust -> clone kunai. Quite expensive attribute.
Second spear lunge debuff -> murmillo Evade thrust -> stabbing.
Spear throw filler.
Your [pierce] damage won’t be as strong as dragoon2 builds. You get strong pierce kunai & mix [strike-pierce] hoplite synchothrust burst through clones. You will be more tanky with shield & cassis helmet.
Your [strike] damage (burst) won’t be as strong as a rodelero 3 (shinobi) murmillo. You get finestra crit boost, which rodelero3->murmillo doesn’t get.
how will my dps be compare to goon/fencer?
I have seen your build without doppel, pelta 2 hoplite 3 shinobi Murmillo. But haven’t seen enough to judge.
Perhaps some forum user has a similar build and could provide more feedback.
It is difficult to fit a class into your rank 8 slot, since rank 8 classes have strong damage. Murmillo fits, or you could take lancer1 (but mount problem) if you really want to. Don’t recommend dragoon1 into your rank 8 slot. If you want to be a guild master you could take templar1. Templar1 is not a dps option.
poor nicola…
i already told you in game
your damage will be great, but this build requires TONS of silver
the problem with this build is not whether your damage will be good, it will
the question is - are you willing to spend the silver required for this build to work?
it is definitely an expensive route, much more expensive than a dragoon 2.
your rank 8 is definitely on a murmilo
you’ll also have to get a skill reset and get a lvl 15 synchro thrusting if you don’t have it at lvl 15
a dragoon 2 is easier to set up and cheaper. dragoon 2 is also a dps route
where as your route would be burst damage
the problem is in order to compete with dragoon/fencer you will spend a lot more silver. that’s the only thing about that build its not that it can’t, just cost more.
Btw, the pelt 2 rodelero 3 version of this build, while being very strong is even more expensive. You’ll have to get the murmilo attributes for both pelt and rodelero, costing 9m each
in your build you only need the hoplite enhanced attribute from murmilo (costing just 9m) once you get taht with lvl5 clones you’ll start wrecking
the tricky part is whether to transcend shield or spear, since both give good damage.
I think shield since it’s multiplied by 5
Murmillo helmet will cover your character’s face. This is a big issue I forgot to mention.
may i ask how it’s a big issue?
are there bugs involved with it?
It is against Tree of Fashion 
Edit: but your shinobi clones won’t wear the helmet!

1h spear and a helmet kinda makes you look like a spartan
Highnobi for sonic blow role play 
Nice build I’d say. People think you need to get maximum playability out of every class, but sometimes it’s wiser to consider a class purely for one or two skills you need.
My suggestion for skills:
SW1- pain barrier max, concentrate max, bash level 1-max (for the knockdown attribute), gung ho level 1-max
Pelt1- Swashbuckling max, gaurdian ?, anything (i think everyone knows pelt skills are all pretty garbage save SB)
Hop3- Spear throw max (your main source of damage), finestra max (your main self-buff +150 crit rate, +3 aoe), spear lunge 1-max (main debuff), stabbing 1-max, thrust 1-max (for the bleed chance).
spear throw max, spear lunge max, finestra max, long stride 1-max (pretty garbage after the skill fix)
Dopel1- Double Pay Earn Max (all your damage is gonna be coming from spear throw anyways, this is a great utility for parties or solo), Anything
Shinobi- Pure pvp spec (Max Katon, 1-Max Mijin, 1-Max Bokuton, 1-Max Kunai) / Pure pve spec (Max Kunai, Max Bunshin, 1-max anything)
*Your bunshin images wont be able to auto attack with 2h weapon, but should be able to auto with 1h spears.
My suggestion for stats:
Depending on whether you want to rely on your bunshin heavily or not, you could build your character more tanky/dex heavy to support bunshin play.
If bunshin is not a part of your gameplan, you could go glass cannon, with more str and enough dex to hit the targets you are hunting. Str cannons aren’t well suited for pvp either, as most high dex targets are very hard to hit.
High Dex is viable, especially as you get access to stronger weapons. STR definitely adds a punch, but your weapons are definitely where the bulk of any swordie’s damage is coming from (weapons would include side arms like dual slotted shields).
PM me ingame if you still need help/interested in Shinobi-Murmillo
I made a pel2rodo3shinobi murmillo and instantly wished I took sw3 rodo shinobi murmillo or even sw2 pel1. pel 2 is a waste

A Pierce-Strike hybrid huh…very creative I’d say. I don’t like the Doppel 1 in that build but not that you are going to die because of it.
