I noticed that you can’t Press C anymore to block in PVP, not that it was worth anyway, but was one of the few things a “Shield Focused Character” could do after all. So how are you doing, or you don’t even think in PVP? In the end it’s only Murmillo SKILL in the end that you can count on?
I know PVP is the last thing you could do on Tree of Savior, because of the performance problem (FPS), but still good to dream about it.
Note that I don’t know much about Peltasta and Rodelero.
One of the few things this “Shield Focused Character” can do is it can do “almost everything a swordsman can do”, it can tank, damage, and CC. Well, Peltasta C1 + Hoplite C3 + Full CON = OP physical block and you don’t even need to hold that C block, there’s the murmillo helmet that blocks missile and magic, it also boosts some of skill damage by 2x or 2.5x as well, rodelero class provides shield charging and montano, both are good CC.
Just like your pic. Shield-oriented swordmans are freaking Spartans who kick almost everyones butt.
I just start a hopnobi know and love it even if im just hop c3 till now.
Jumping anhd throwing the spear over the Battlefield is fun ^^
Hoplite is even based on a spartan but dont look like one …
it same like in the picture , knock down ,knock back and tanky as hell
@TIDMAN , @shenhuehue, @Tanzen
Thanks for the answers.
I know Hoplite is pretty good and superior, but what about Rodelero???
It appear Rodelero only do some CC with 'shield charge" and some other CC that are very inferior to other Swordsman classes, because the small hit box.
Any good thing about Rodelero that really make the class worth it? An Attribute maybe?
I only did Rodelero Circle 1 once, long long time ago, and beyond Shield Charge (that itself is very slow) I saw nothing that make this class shiny any where.
What you know about it?
Rodelero, if we talk about c3, it is more about WB burst-hunter in combo with Shinobi and Murm.
In pure PvP filler R1 is often used for CC. R3 Rodelero + Murm will give you a lot of killing potential, but will make you more straight-forward and less versatile in competitive high-tier PvP. I won’t recomend it for serious PvP, but you can have fun bursting some people with Shooting Star.
Thanks for your opinion!
I personally have no rodelero C3 and have not seen a noticeable rodelero C3 in Varena TBL rankings mostly are hoplite C3s but in KR TBL videos, there are quite some good ones. FpFred, undergeared but does well, and there’s another one but I lost his channel, it has korean characters.
Aside from the damage it gives combined with murmillo, which are also boosted by high kick, some of it’s major skills have short animation, cast time and no interrupt time which means after the animation you can cast right off and spam skills easily, so theoretically in a duration of montano CC, you can land 2-3 skills. Such skills also are harder to dodge when in proximity.
Sidenote, animation, cast and interrupt time is often overlooked by iToS players since most tend to focus on the visible and obvious stats only which are damage multipliers, overheat, and cooldown. Mostlikely, because of the laggy TBL environment in iToS which makes these variables less important and less attended by most of us, in kToS they can play at normal fps that’s why more builds could work for them.
thats one of the best murms in korea
For pvp
with your helmet.
rod c1 got Shield charge , this skill can knockdown anyone especially who in safezone
c2 is for magic evade ,Slithering is.
when using in right time you can really become invincible.
PS. you can go hop3 and rod2 but someone like cosair more.
