Peltasta3/Rodelero3/Murmillo

Class and Rank Swordsman

Hi,
I just came back into the game and I only have experience with Cleric classes
However I’d like to try out a warrior class who’s shield oriented, but I have no knowledge at all on what points are good to invest in, attributes that are not worth to pick and stat allocation ect…
I read the guides sticked above but they hardly speak about any tank builds at all

Mostly I want to play Peltasta, Rod and Murmillo. PvE wise I’d like to be a tank oriented character and PvP wise… well whatever, I just want to be useful in a group fight

Can someone come up with a good core build on Tosbase I can use?
Thanks mate (;

This is the core build
20 extra points on pelt

can be placed on:
Guardian (maxing it is okay)
1 point high guard (if you are going to do this, put 6 on umbo and rim, I hate high guard though, so it’s up to you)
More umbo thrust (not really needed, but you want less skills to use and make them strong)
More umbo blow (I personally don’t like using umbo blow, but the damage is okay and it can stun)

19 on rodel
Shield Shoving ( really good skill, fast animation and cooldown)
More high kick ( same reason as umbro thrust, but also not needed)

as for murm, you can probably do whatever you want atm, such as 1 point in each, I’m waiting for a circle 2 announcement as there may be better points to spend on

Evade thrust is nice though, you really need more pierce skills.

correction: ignore 2 points on thrust, you only need 1 point there to help on leather bosses instead of aa-ing

Hey thanks a lot. That’s great help for me. (;
I think I’ll try the High Guard variance, I do like this kind of gameplay

Should I go full Cons iyo?

Nah, full con is bad.

The current patch promotes damage mitigation.

If you are willing to use your practonium the 315 1h sword is very good, pair that up with either didel tower shield (2 slots, lower mdef) or lion head shield (extremely high mdef) and you will be tanky.

aside from that, you can stack 100 mdef headgears, with either none or HP/Def as the second stat, then go with yellow or red gems on your armor. I recommend yellow.

you can transcend your accessories for more mdef and top/bottom for more def.

if anything, 30-100 con, rest dex. You can put some str but there are many other PA sources you can have, such as weapon transcendence, headgears, gems

don’t worry about having less than 40k hp, it doesn’t matter when monsters hit you with “1”, yes mages can also hit you with 1 if you have enough mdef.
