Pelt1>Barb2> where do I go from here

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

Hello …

First I want to mention I play with group of friends everyday so I never end up solo, and I want to bring my party benefits…

I think I made a mistake going for barbarian… I wanted to be a tank, but for some reasons I went for barbarian becouse peltasta next circles look really bad. and barbarian universal skills seem ok with all the stuns it come…

i’m level 110, with 100% map completion all map both orsha and klaipeda and saved all exp cards since start. so I really value this character.

should I start over and go for hoplite ? I don’t want this becouse i will leave my group of friends, and will level from 0 alone. not fun:/
so this is my last resort if you suggest I messed up.

OR…
Can anyone please help me save my character.
what can I go from barb2 into something that will help my group…
I did not want to end up a full DPS…

Any options that will work ?

Doppelsoldner - I dislike spin2win ability, And I don’t like his costume.

Fencer - I love the costume, I hate all the abilities and the weapon, and the fact he spam skills and use toothpick as weapon (no offense fencers).

Dragoon - Can I make it a dragoon ? Costume is awesome and look like he can provide %Magic/Physical defense buff with throwing the spear.
and will also provide Pierce dmg ?

Corsairs - Love pirates, don’t like dual wield. quick attacks is not my thing.

can I make it a templar without bein completely useless at both dmging and tanking ? I really really really want to make a guild for my group of friends, we’re alot so guild could be nice.

Is going full dps will hurt my ability to tank for my 5/5 group ?

Thanks for reading
Please help, I feel bad moving forward when I don’t know what I want or need to do…

If you already went barb 2 there’s about 2 “main” paths left for you

barb 3 - doppel - doppel, which you do not like
barb 3 - fencer - fencer, fencer is kinda off tank so you’re good here

there are other options but these might be best currently
I personally went barb2-corsair-going fencer- rank 7 is probably barb/corsair/fencer too, still deciding.

#3

well… this is why I made this post… I could go fencer but it doesn’t look like it will help me, or any of my group… as it’s purely for spamming abilities to deal dmg…
also I will be forced to dual wield… since all of it’s abilities req to equip only rapier to do bonus dmg…

what about Barb 3 - Doppel - Dragoon ?

or… something related to Dragoon ?..

if you read fencer skills they do help a bit on tanking, and dont let the attribute restrict you, there are fencers that use shields when you know you need to block manually, similar to how other dragoons dual wield even though 2H spears give better damage attribute.

barb doppel dragoon is okay, but you’re just about to spam offensive skills from barb and missing out on hoplite finestra or some cata skills. you could take 2 cata and go dragoon but i think that would wreck your character more

#5

This is what I could come up with…

benefits going dragoon over going doppel2.

getting pierce dmg skills.
getting 2h spear which people say is the best.
getting that buff for my group from dropping Gae Bulg.

I also think the same thing you said that I lose on Finestra, and some very strong skills from Hoplite that work with spears.

but is doppel 2 really even worth ? since I really think of Fencer as last option… I prefer more Tanky or Brutal gameplay, instead of quick attacks.

I could also go Barb2>Hoplite2>Dragoon ?
This way I get Finesta uptime maxed…

but I really love warcry on lv10 for mobbing. think the dmg increase from it is really great, and there is that post says it get cooldown reduced.

what you think overall about Barb circle 3. i’m not 100% sure if warcry alone worth it. and frenzy so far from my experience is bad and I don’t get to use it much.

#6

you will use frenzy a lot with the attribute on, it’s really good like having a better level 5 frenzy without losing stacks. if you’re fine with barb 3 go with it and dragoon, but I believe i have not seen any dragoon that took barb before

#7

well, basicly there is that barb3>doppel2 build which considered good.

so I really wonder how dropping C2 doppel for Dragoon can hurt, or benefit.

what you think ? i didn’t research much into doppel so I have no clue… all I seen rank2 had some 2handed sword skills… and I kind of think swords in general in disadvantage for swrodsman…

sorry for the late reply.
