Helm chopper to me loses out on the skill rotation once you get to rank 6-7. Because of that I’m not maxing it and leaving it for the utility. Cleave I need to max on the other hand.

Helm Chopper lv1 to use it only when Seism doesnt stun in Seism>Cleave>Cyclone (for doppel)>… rotation.
I wonder how much is the «increased stun chance».
Would like to bump this and talk more about Rodelero, as I have a strong interest in going Rod c3.
Im going rod3. Pelt3 rod3 actually. It’s not optimal dps by any means but it can still dish out high damage and you have good tanking abilities. It’s the only 1 hand sword shield build that makes sense to me, it’s just that 1 hand swords are generally not optimal at all compared to what you can do with other melee weapons for swordie. .
Pelt3 has umbo thrust, 2 charges of 15armor break with 25 sec cd. Big boost to yours, other swordies, archers, and some clerics dps. Paired with a memelander3 or another pelt3 (like me), 100% armor break uptime is possible.
Rod3 has high kick. High Kick and slithering + attribute both boosts strike dmg + 100%. At this point, you will have an abundance of strike skills from rod3 and other sword classes to tAkers advantage of these boosts. This also helps out any other players who have strike dmg.
I plan on using these skills to boost mine and other people’s dmg.

Awesome thanks Cathexis, i’ll fix it when i get home.
Shooting star is actually decent now, along with the other shield skills.
Barbarians are now a super skill spamming class, they will be very short on SP fast in a fight
damn those are some sweet changes, making me think to go barb 3 instead of another corsair. but then again corsair also got a mini buff, hoping they change how pistol shot works too

I think Cleave was the biggest buff though - 3 overheat charges + cooldown reduction (16 seconds only) = huge burst damage

In conjunction with a stun skill, it does 3 times the normal damage before crits. Is it really that bad at later levels?
Level 5 Butterfly from Peltasta does as much damage as level 6 cleave against a stunned target without having to rely on the whole stunning thing, meaning it works on bosses and elites.

Hey guys sorry for being a noob here, what is Overheat?
Overheat is when you can use the skill more than once before it goes on CD.
Ohhhh!!! Thanks for the reply! Wow 3 Overheat and lower cooldown definitely helps a lot!
Cleave still provider some utility for boss fight.
overheat 3time meanthe crit buff is extend to 15 second as a AA Corsair that a great New ;D.

You are correct. For me, it’s more about being able to have my own armor break AND strike bonus to consistently boost mine and other people’s dps. I don’t expect many people to have this build so I also feel at least alil bit special with it lol.

The problem is the defense reduction from Shield Push doesn’t affect bosses…
It’s the worst design for Rodelero and makes absolutely no sense
