I feel Peltast useless

Class and Rank
#1

For now i’ve been doin a lot of PVE, and peltast kind of rocked. Bein able to block attacks was epic. Boss attacks have a delay, also i can tank 10 enemies at the same time while my ally attacks.

But when i want to pvp, i just suck…

My stats are, Dex = Spr x2, Str = Dex x2, Con = Dex x2. I have a bit of Spr so i have mana and magic defense, then more Dex so i can land hits (even criticals), and then a mix, 50-50, of STR and CON. But in PVP i’m just useless…

I cant land a single hit, everyone having high DEX, they dodge all my attacks and SKILLS, so i cant knock down or stun people. Then, my normal attacks sucks. I mixed Finestra (hoplite) with Concentration (swordsman) attack bonus, even with that my damage is useless… i never managed to drop an enemy to 50% health. Some of them… not even a 10%, i do no damage, to that sum they dodge all my skills… At the last fight i did 1, ONE, damage with normal attacks…

Even mages destroys me. What i’m doin wrong? I’m peltast so i can block, and it’s nice, i can completely block other people’s high damaging skills, but they destroy me with normal attacks while i do nothing, and i die pretty fast even with 6000 health.

I’m even thinking about screwing with tankyness, i just have my shield to block things and i’m happy, but even focusing in damage i… don’t. My spear damage is nearly 40, and i fight enemies at my same level. I remember winnin some duels before level 20, but now it’s just impossible. No joking, maybe i lost 100% of them, i can’t remember a win

Meanwhile a full two handed sword guy runs with 99DEX, dodges everything and screws people wirth criticals, even mages before they can attack, and they can even block 2 handing the sword, better than the shield, so they can handle bosses. What’s the point?

If you want something in the same vein as Peltasta, have you looked into adding Rodelero into your build? They seem a bit more pvp orientated.

If I recall correctly, a highlander can’t move when they’re in their blocking stance as well. Peltasta can hear damage I’ve heard, but right now, they’re a tank. If all you want is the ability to block, try Hoplite, or a Sword/shield Barb, though I still think Peltasta has the best block chance (or so I’ve heard).

Yep, i’ll go Rodelero in the next rank, i wasn’t able in the current

Peltasta also cant move while blocking, unless u go High guard, that HALVES ur damage and critical so it’s not worth. The only good thing about it, is that u have PASSIVE block from shield, and u can get lucky blocks, meanwhile 2 hand sword doesnt, but even with that i’m wondering how viable is it, seein my bad results in pvp. And yea, i’m Peltast-Hoplite, hoplite crit bonus and damaging skills rocks, but the enemy dodges all of them… 99 DEX things.

Yea, peltast has passives, it’s the BEST blocking clas-s, i don’t complain about that. My complains is that, even when i’m now hoplite, i deal virtually zero damage and the enemy dodges all my skills

so u want a class with high defense and high damage? For me peltasta is very usefull for what they are implemented. Is just a 2 circle class.

You look at STAT Build and EQUIP so in PVP things change (e.g. You need CON and dex-accurary-).

In this case Peltasta is very usefull for Hoplite, because Hoplite skills need a stationary target to do their damage (that is not low) and peltasta can help with knockdown and stun (with some %) . In higher ranks Rodelero gives better function.

Are you fighting the same level of opponent? And are you geared well? And is your skill build tailored for pvp? Just asking

To be completely honest you probably don’t need spirit at all on a swordsman class. Yeah you’ll have low mdef but swordsmen have the health to make up for that. Why not try going DEX:STR:CON 4:1:1 or even 3:1:1. With the DEX combined with fine straight you’ll have a lot of crits, evasion and the accuracy to actually hit those pesky 2-handers. The STR makes your crits a little stronger and the con is so you have some room for mistakes.

EDIT: Also at lvl 75 you can get the golden falchion which will make your crits really strong.
