Hello everyone, first time posting here. I am new and would like some honest advice!
I’m having trouble deciding on what class to pick. I want to use Swords but I see they turn into Spear users. If there any place in the late game for pure Swords? How would I go about doing that?
Any recommended builds would be appreciated. 
Thanks!
Of course.
Go Doppel, if you want Swords. Pure 2H goodness.
Ok cool thanks for the feedback. I just wanted to make sure pure Doppel wouldn’t be underpowered. Is that only tank or is it possible to DPS with them?
If your main concern is weapon look, and you don’t want spears.
There are various trees with :
2 Handed Swords (Highlander/Doppel) sound great. My question now is would I be forced to tank or can I DPS with a Doppel?
They are extreme DPS. Skills like Cyclone, Zornhau - all are very good. However, you can also be an off-tank with this build, if you go Peltasta for 1H + Shield on Rank 1.
There is an option to Weapon Swap in this game, so you can be pretty defensive when needed and dish out some very good damage with 2H.
Great feedback, thank you very much. The use of the word “extreme” makes me think maybe it’s not the best choice for a new player?
Why not? Every R7 class is good, they are meant to be. Some have different purposes, some depend on your build but overall you should be pretty familiar with the game, when you get there.
Got it. That makes sense. I just wanted to make sure it was worth the investment! You are very helpful, thanks again. 
2h Swordman. The best option is Swordman C1, Highlander C1, Barbarian C1,C2,C3 and Doppel o Templar if you make a Guild.
The Highlander take the Guard Skill, you can block attack and don’t need Shield (Perfect in PVP).
The Stats are STR, Dex and Con (Dex for Critical rate and hit).
Great I appreciate the comment. For stats, STR DEX and CON, do you happen to know how many into each one? For example 4:2:1
For what purpose would he take Barbarian? Highlander gets passive with 2H and overall has better skills including Skull Swing and Crown.
4:1:2.
4:1:2 Got it, thank you.
This is the build I was looking at on the tosbase
Most Dopple builds on that site seem to incorporate Barbarian. Is that not a good choice for 2H Dopple?
Passive Crit Attack for 2H, Skull Swing for reducing DEF to zero, Crown + Zornhau for Shocking and reducing mages’ INT and SPR. Skyliner + Crosscut even after nerf works extremely well on Bleeding targets.
highlander c3 and corsair/squire are a lot better than barbarian for 2H.
