New build for Swordsman

Hello!

I’m trying to create a build for the new R8 class Lancer. I looking for something diferent but stil viable.
Soo my inicial thoughts:S3>Hop2>Doppel1>Goon1>Lancer1.
synergy was from RestrainBuff/FullBarrierBUff + FinestraBuff/LungeDebuff + DeedsBuff/CycloneCC + GaeBulgzoneBuff/Debuff.
Going almost full DEX with meybe a little CON.

I think R6 and R7 can be trade but not sure for what. I appreciate any kind of help.

(Srry4mybadenglish)

Is this for PvE or PvP

It sounds reasonable. Maybe a little more Con (you are melee after all). You lose out on Cata Trot and Block Penetration though.

Maybe more PvE oriented, but SW>3 leave PvP open rigth?
Another think i was wondering is if Goon 2 will be better then Lancer1.

And for the Cata skills only Cata1 is enough?

Nah, Cata1 isn’t worth it imo but maybe it is for Lancer.
Dunno if anyone has tried it yet but Cata1 tends to be a let down.

Goon2 would be a very standard build.

I’d exchange the Dragoon C1 with Doppel C2 for 100% more damage with 10 stacks of DOV while DOV has also 100% uptime. Dragoon only provides you with more attack skills, but you won’t get the Serpentine debuff unless you go Dragoon C2 and the base skills of Dragoon cost more SP to execute while having lower average damage.

DOV is also not so punishing as the def reduction will be decreased from 10% per stack to 5% per stack [already live in KTOS since December 2016) and the Crush attribute decreases the enemies attack or defence by up to 50% for 10 seconds (which is basically more than a 50% damage reduction since defence works as a flat reduction), making the defence loss neglectable if you manage to kill the monsters within 20 seconds[ since Crush has 2 overheat charges this can be used to get 20 seconds of decreased damage].

This would also provide you with the ability to improve Cyclone and Punish to increase your overall damage (as these are ± the only skills that don’t require a 2handed sword to execute, and Mordschlags CD time is too high to deliver considerable damage).

Nice inputs bro. I never thoughts on Doppel C2 because 2hand swords skills requirement , but your point make a lot sense. I think the only down side is the fact i will only able to use 2hand spear and all synergys at R8. Sound like a realy hard lvling.
