May I ask the highest DPS BD in PvE

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

At the moment, I go Swordsman C1 > Peltasta C1 > …
Behind that, which one is better in damage?

  • Hoplite/Barbarian C3 > Doppelsoldner C3/2/1 > Dragoon C0/1/2

  • Hoplite/Barbarian C2 > Corsair C2/2/2/1/1 > Doppelsoldner C2/1/0/2/1 > Dragoon C0/1/2/1/2

Or there are any others? Please, I’m so confused of these.

Highest swordsman dps build for now is sw3 hop2 fencer3 but you need to be geared enough to do significant dmg.

#3

From the choices you gave us:
Hop Doppel Dragoon

#4

Archer > Whatever 3 > Fletcher 3 > Mergen
Archer 2 > Whatever 2 > Fletcher 3 > Mergen

Fletcher 3

5 second cooldown
Attack: 1139
Duration: 10 seconds
Attack Count: 25

  • Can crit and benefits greatly from transcended 2H bow.
  • Fire and forget, spam other skills while it does 25 hits.
  • Doesn’t incapacitate you for 14 seconds.
  • You can stay at safe range.

Going Fletcher 3 leaves you free for whatever you want at Rank 8 too.

Archer 2 is mostly gone for this:

Free 25% forever boost to Critical Rate (for a class that gets bonus crit rate from DEX)

Ranger 2 and 3 for Physical Attack 15% to 20%:

Also both come with nice DPS skills that are true multi-hitting abilities that scale well the entire game and couple well with Fletchers dots and 75% armor reduction skills:

80% physical defense reduction in the same class circle with 5 second 25 hit skill.

Bottom line:

Want to be great DPS forever in TOS? Roll Fletcher. They will never be nerfed or fixed or touched upon. With Dragoon’s, Murmillo’s, Doppels and Fencers you never know what kind of ■■■■ TOS will pull out of their ass to appeal to Korean whiners on Korean forums complaining about melee DPS.

If you thought Cyclone was somehow overpowered and needed a “fix”, here’s a Fletcher 3.

#6

This boss is flying target just so you know…

It’s kinda unfair to do this comparison because 2-h bow always has this advantage.

Cyclone kills as fast even if it’s not flying target when I do Saluus and see one.

that fletcher is extremely geared, a similarly geared fencer or dragoon 2 could match that easily.
Not saying that fletcher is weak, its not its a pretty strong class but since the guy want the highest dps, just give him what he wants
fencers are simply the highest dps now.
for the OP - the best dps build you could do is
sword 3 barb 2 fencer 3 (do not go hoplite fencer, this build requires a sh1t ton of weapon swapping making it really uncomfortable)
or you can go sword 2/petlasta hoplite 3 doppel 1 dragoon 2 (i took peltasta) that build is pretty strong as well, will probably out dps a fletcher on non-flying bosses (fencer still beat dragoon atm, but remember that dragoon is only at its 2nd circle.)
dragoon’s serpentine debuff is simply amazing, it makes everyone who is melee stronger not just you so if you got a party with a bunch of swordies you could increase their dps by a significant amount
fencer is a solid choice atm, and i don’t think imc will nerf fencer any further than they did with epee garde, fencer is simply a strong class and will stay that way so feel free to go fencer.

#8

that fencer is so stupid, i rarely see her using epee buff
or is it intended to avoid aggro LOL

#9

IMO hopfencer taken was not for weapon swapping and finestra, but you take hoplite just for its stabbing
just like fencer will take corsair2 for hexen if nothings good in C9
some ppl think 1 skill is worth a rank

Here is my take on it. Playlist of different bosses I killed on dungeons.
