It swordsman the class i want?

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

Ok the typical swords man, especially in ragnarok is a tanker that can deal some damage.

Like my fav job in RO is paladin

I can be a tank in party and still 3 hit kill someone on pvp (sacrifice)

Is this class (SW tree) is the one that i seek?

Since i want to beable to tank and deal some AoE damage (for pve, and deal a decent-> great damage depending on gear in pvp)

I want advice from someone with endgame experience in this game instead of 220 or under as i hear the grind gets harder at that point.

Also riding peco peco (or what ever its called here) is preferable

Short answer: No.

Long answer: The only base class that can deal decent damage while having quite a lot of HP is Wizard.

PvP in TOS for Swordsman is not very good right now. I think that’s an understatement. They lack gap closer skill and tools to deal with CC. Not to mention skills hitbox and the way this game handle net code are also against Swordsman whose way of dealing damage is at melee. Imagine you charged at at enemy only to find out he was actually not there because your Internet is slow or your ping is higher than 100.

Nevertheless, there are some PvP builds for Swordsman while still remain relevant in PvE. But you won’t see a Pally 3-hit someone or 25k HP LK taking obnoxious amount of punishment and not dying. Nope, not here. Or at least not until we get our own Unfrozen Armor and status immunity cards

no, you want cleric tree.
you can pve with sword, but pvp is a big no unless youre a cata.

RO paladin in this game is cleric. they do dmg, they tank, they heal, they can take your dmg (cleric3). you just need to wait IMC release mounted cleric and there you go your RO paladin.

Here are the proofs that ppl are totally WRONG! (Telsiai Server)

survival > wiz/cleric (they can do full con, no one else can)
dmg in pvp > wiz/archer (melee sux)
dmg in pve > depending what level; swordman/cleric till lv 160ish, then it is all archer/wiz after
dmg in pve r8 > r8 class dependant

What do these pictures prove?
That you have a lot of time and money on your hands. Basically just showing off, a little bit like that Akisera guy.
The build is a standard swordsman PVP meta build too, one of the few that has long been proven to work. Nothing special.

Did you see rank 5 there? are you work that hard to equip your gear? show some respect dude!!

#10

Yep those pictures prove nothing and you cleverly cut the potential left on the items, so the possibility that you cheated/exploited to get the enhancements isn’t zero :sleeping:

To Op, sorry buddy but swordman isn’t for you, you can’t deal heavy damage (via burst or DPS) and tank like a boss (face tanking the damage) with swordman.
Wait for R8 and maybe you could do it with a STR cleric build using Paladin//Inquisitor with immunities (safety zone), high resistances (Resist energy).

Ohhhh finally. Ive been longing to see her equips…everytime I see her in tbl…thanks for that post…so thats why she has that hp and that fuckng power…

Or is that you? nice … very nice indeed…

I wanna see your stats…:blush:

#12

i see so dream is ded?

i guess i will build a cleric then

is cleric any good for PVP? or atleast decent and useful

can paladin//inquisitor deal with magic damage?

what about mobility, how can they close the gap v range classes?

so whats swordsman really good at? looks like all the roles are taken by archer/cleric/wiz

are they somesort of jack of all trade master of none?

#13

cleric not good at pvp, theyre god.
youre adding too much o to it o.0

magic clerics that i saw nomally are druid with krivis, they telepath you to their magic circle. or saintstone dievdoctor, they plant statues everywhere, makes you lagging, burn you to crisp, some build kabbalist with bokor r7 with mackangal and hexing effingy, etc,etc

swordsman is, i guess a mascot ? i just play my swordsman because i like it. I pvp with archer or wizard. I WB with archer. I farm with archer.

#14

i see, i guess time for me to move to cleric sub forum

thanks everyone for your input

#15

actually the feedback after getting rank 8 in ktos is that many swordie builds are quite good so i wouldn’t immediately discard swordie

#16

they are better, but not god like cleric.

#17

Cleric may be god in pvp but weren’t dragoon and fencer rank 1&2 in WB?

#18

dont think dragoon on the top anymore with that nerf.

maybe fencer still good, but they would need 2 dragoons to be their side kicks to do what they did before.

as for god of WB, i think it is chrono3 + kabbalist2 for unlimited boss work.

kabba2 is pretty bad imo so i doubt that
but i guess tomorrow there will be another balance patch so we don’t know yet

#20

but now murmilo is the new pvp meta, its better than lancer =)

#21

Err not really…it’s just tough to kill that’s all.
Murmillo suffers the same way as other unmounted PVP swordsman builds. Lack of speed, getting kited etc.

If you must get an unmounted swordsman in PVP, going Hop 3 Dragoon 2 gives better burst.
