Lack of Tank Skills in Swordsman Tree

IMHO the most efficient way to play any class is to have fun and have a party of friends. But why focus so much in Full Dex?

You don’t need to do full tank if can keep aggro on mob and boss.

Better kill faster.

I’m think i put my Hoplite+Shinobi build result at here.

Note:
This build just for grind and lv100 mission only.
Better get Sage Wall for magic defence.

This is lv 51% Mijin combo with Spear Lunge damage.

Mijin no Jutsu don’t have limit AoE Attack Ratio so you can hit all mob.
The AoE range same as Spear Throw.

You got two way to keeping aggro, spam spell or burst damage.
( i not recommend spam spell because other class still over take your aggro very easy.)

I will explain burst damage aggro by my FEELING.

Burst damage aggro testing:

Top damage player 5 point aggro a sec
2nd damage player 4 point aggro a sec
Average DD player 3 point aggro a sec
Low damage player 2 point aggro a sec
Very low DD player 1 point aggro a sec

As a tank you can’t do Top DD but you at least need Average DD for keep aggro.

Using Spear Lunge combo Mijin, and Swordsman Increases provocation 50% help alot went you burst aggro.
Mijin and Spear Throw also needed Pain Barrier.

At lv100 mission not even Musketeer Snipe, or other Swordsman can’t take away your aggro.

Mijin Consumes 4500 HP not gonna be a problem anyway, if you got high hp or Cleric.
Most of those grind and lv100 mission just need press C if in danger.

The bigger problem will be Ninjutsu Bombs cost.

( actually i hate tank that moving alot because they make teammate in danger…)

But the most problem right that I feel is that you can’t kill mobs fast you went with Pelt 3(at least I’m not aware or any build right now).

Can you really test this? Because if this is true I’ll grab Shinobi in most of my build.

i’m solo full run lv 50 and lv 90 dungeon.

Both got enough mob for testing Mijin no Jutsu.

I like it!

But… If i may ask,

Why take SW2? SW1 should be enough?
And, maybe stay at Hop2 for just Spear Lunge? Spear Throw, 10% block and 50 crit rating is alright, but I’m sure there are better things?

Instead of those two you could go Pelt3 for Langort (pierce), armor break and massive taunt since Mijin has no AoE limit?
Corsair2 for DWA and Hexen.
Maybe even SW3 for Double Slash clones?

Once, a smart man told me all SW need shinobi for that burst damage.

Okay that a joke only.:wink:

I take SW2 just for Pain Barrier, and it badly needed as a tank.

Other build you need test it by yourself.
That fit your playstyle.:slight_smile:

Thanks for the information, I’ll prob change my builds around that. :slight_smile:
