I am not gonna stop beating the dead horse on how swordy dmg is lackluster endgame or the sacrifices needed to made to be a solid tank.
This is sorely about Pain Barrier and how it was mostly ignored in the early games up till now. at 255, with mobs constantly stunning and knocking you back.
kinda wish I went s3 but you know how that is gonna work out for party finding.
Honestly most groups i have played with haven’t been to pick but generally they usually only want 1 swordsman and it better have taunt lol.
Yeah, I already knew swash buckling would be a hit when I tested it out in cbt. It really just for convenience in the beginning but quickly turned into a necessity for all swordsmen class.
But Pain Barrier shines in late game because of all the knockbacks, especially when I am a c3 dragoon. where 3 of my main skills require charging.
Yea i see lots of pvp builds with c3 sword. Also have seen a few fencers with c2.
I mean, there’s nothing stopping you from going Swords c3 anyway. people only ask for “Pelt” . im under the impression i can be lv 200+ with c1 Pelt and no one would even care about the rest of my ranks. lol
Well thats how i operate lol. If you got pelt i don’t care what else you are.
Yeah tbh it isnt a horrible option either to just go Swords C1 > Pelt C1 and never advance to the next rank until they do something drastic about the swordsman tree. that way you wont be that highlander who wish he had gone barbarian because he sees a few buffs that went barb’s way.
