I'm a Doppelsoeldner with no Peltasta. Should I just stop playing?

He’s telling you to reroll because you won’t like what’s coming and it’s better to stop wasting your time on a doomed character until a balance patch comes. You don’t even have to delete it. Just keep it for the team exp bonus.

By then you would likely to have a maxed out pve cata 280, and then you can laugh at the people who didn’t roll a Sw3 cata because they’re so shortsighted they only play the meta.

nobody likes the meta. Who in their right mind enjoys taking pelt besides full con swordies? I rerolled pelt myself and i hated it every step along the way, but i have to admit the circle is useful in pve.

Not sure what you mean by living vacuum if a balanced build (3/2/1) is hitting 1.3k normal attack 2.1k crit per rush tick and you’re hitting like a wet noodle.

As long as you’re happy though.

Exactly what I was thinking. Swashbuckling should be moved to swordsman tree. That way fckng meta and elitists wouldn’t give a fck what class composition we swordies have 'cause we’d all have taunt, just like all clerics get heals. Someone told me then we would all be considered as Tanks if that happens. I disagree. Tanking is more than taunting.

Had my first 220+ Templar with Pelt1. Never felt the need to grind for levels, only done quests,missions and dungeons. I know sooner or later I’ll be running out of quests but I didn’t like it at all. Peltastas. Never liked shield. lmao. And now, I’m re-rolling to Doppel.

The problem is if we keep on endorsing Peltasta meta, it would never stop. But seriously, IMC has the call in this one. They need to fix swordies.

This one I agree. Only solution I can see is to put Swashbuckling to Swordsman tree. Just like all Clerics get heal.
But really, even Swashbuckling is somewhat buggy. I sometimes couldn’t even maintain aggro even if I go all out with my skills + swashbuckling (I also have max Provoke).

It’s just too sad that the game is broken for Swordies. Heck I saw a video of a 17F ET clearing party, didn’t even have one.

If you do this almost all current pelt will come crying though

#68

woah no wonder someone say that you need to be thick-faced if you are not a pelt. since I dont have pelt so I dont get partied much, I do solo, then I remember back when I was leveling in Demon Prison, there is this “6th Party member” of ours that persistently attacks mob that we gathered. I tried it now in Alemeth, it turns out I do get xp, and its alot of xp than I usually do alone. so yeah I you dont have pelt, you go to other party that gathers mob that can;t fast kill and hit the gathered mobs (gathered by tree but most preferred is linkers) and you get xp too.

#69

I wish you and others like you would stop that… stop leeching off other peoples efforts, stop stealing their XP/silver/loot, get your own mobs. Why do you think it’s ok to killsteal other people who are not in your party and who spend their time, potions, sp and armor repair cost to gather and tank these mobs?

Your build is perfect, you only need a skill reset to max cleave and cyclone, I suggest you invest in some dex, people say it sucks but since you need to actually crit to deal your high crit damage you need some dex. Also when ktos changes arrive you will rock.

Note, I also think you need warcry and frenzy too if you are really going for the dps build, they will almost double your damage against a boss. you don’t need stomping kick or embowel at all.

Give them more defensive buffs. Pelts are supposed to be defensive anyways. And if we are staying true to the class, it’s supposed to wield javelins anyway.

#77

nope. even if you have max provoke and using swashbuckling. the amount of aggro generated from other class will be far more greater if you’re just there taunting, then guarding after. less people realize this because monster even 150k hp+ dies after the burst.

now if monster have 400-500k HP. that would be a different story.

#78

Main issue i have when i queue with “DPS” swordies. They never turn off provoke. I can keep aggro by hitting the boss twice with butterfly and just guard and umbo thrust when it’s up. But when the other swordies turn on provoke they will shift the aggro towards them… and then blame the tank even though i already warned them to turn it off because i’ll be tanking

#79

That’s why I said even if I go all out, which means I’m using every offensive skills I have. I’m not like those people who only does Swashbuckling then pressing C the entire time. That sort of thing is downright stupid. With what little damage I have, I help the party DPS. I contribute. And besides you won’t generate aggro by guarding.

#80

Tanks aren’t necessary in the first place, they’re just a pulling convenience so you can get to using aoe on things _faster.
You’re fine, to keep playing.
Clerics handle defense in this game and keep the team alive, peltastas purpose is just to be a swashbuckling bot so that things are in range to aoe.
A Linker and Cryomancer C3 also perform this role though not as potently (but they get scattered ranged enemies far better).

#81

man, just needy people its worried about getting peltasta even if they don’t want it just to fit in “end game” parties… just screw those pansy mages and archers who want you as a meat shield, play for fun not to like others!
