Looking for a few critiques to my Cata/Dragoon Build

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

Here is a link to the ToS builld maker http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/1jekskt8zt/

The goal of the build is a Dps/Offtank for PvE with fun/decent PvP as an option.

The couple of things I want opinions on.

Are the 1 points in impale and Soar worth it for the cc/utility?

Should the 1 point for impale be taken from Earth wave or Trot? Will 2 seconds of trot cooldown be that noticable versus the dmg loss/gained on Earth wave?

Is the loss of rim blow worth 5/5 guardian or should I go 4/5 rim blow and 1/5 guardian?

Also I was planning on going 4 str/ 2 con/ 1 dex for stats. Is that a good choice for a dps/offtank and pvp?

#2

Please read my guide in this section, I’m sure something will help you.

#3

Ok looks like your “all-rounder” build is the most similar. One question. I think I would go with the 4-1-2 stat allotment which could put me around 400 str 50 con, 100 dex at end game. Does that sound good for what im looking to do with the character?

#4

Yes. You need high STR for mobs, which will have Crit Resist.
100 DEX for any Sword class is good, just get those gems and amplify it further.
50 CON is also enough, providing you go Plate.

#5

I do plan to go plate. Also I will be swapping from Spear and Shield to 2 Handed Spear depending on the situation. I’m assuming the dex rule still applies?

#6

Yes, because out of all classes only Hoplite doesn’t need DEX that much.
For him It would be something like… 4:2:1.

So Weapon Swap is fine in this case.

#7

Awesome, ty so much for the help. One last question, which skills should I attribute up first?

Here is the finalized build http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/tf4k2xx705/

I will be using plate with Spear and Shield and 2 handed spear and aiming for 400/50/100, all points after will go into Str. Now I just gotta wait for the 29th.

#8

One point from Bash to Pain Barrier. Level 3 is enough for attributes.

Everything else is perfect.
