My main goal on my Warrior class is to be a Tanky kind of offensive Guild leader who can go PVE and to survive in PVP for a bit(since warriors without Cata cant be very useful, though stunning using Rim Blow is greatly supportive).
I wanted to make a build which can be unique(not a must) and has Tanky features but also can be active and useful during the battle it seems to me that Finestra and High Guard actually balance each other in terms of balancing attack and defense, high guard takes critical but finestra adds more block rate to the already existing high guard buff and 100 critical is still very decent for combat, would u please recommend any improvements, Pros/Cons or any opinion please share and also Stats suggestion would be awesome Thanks!
No comments? it would really be great if u help review this build
I really can’t recommend you many things in this build
First of all, Guan ho is TERRIBlE for a tanky build
i’d rather take 5 on bash just to make early game easier.
Second, Pelt 1 is AMAZZZZINNNNNNNNNNNG, but i’m not sure about pelt 2.
I went for hop 1 as the 3rd circle and it was better, at least for me.
If you still want to go for pelt 2, i could recommend you to build your skills this way
on 1st circle 5 swash, 5 umbo blow, 4 rim blow and 1 guardian, IT HAS THE BEST ATTRIBUTES OF ANY PELT SKILL, but you don’t need to invest more than 1 point on that skill, since i’ts a 1 point wonder and maxing it really doesn’t benefit you that much.
for pelt 2 10 swash, 10 umbo blow, 5 high guard, 4 rim blow and 1 guardian.
The way you wanted to follow was HOP 3, which is OK, i mean, hop 2 is just AMAZING but hop 3 it’s meh. there are better chices. Utility and tanky waise squire is JUST SO MUCH BETTER and damage wise every other class is just better overal, but if you want to invest in hop 3 i could recommend you this based on my own experiencie.
Hop 1> 5 sabbing, 5 pierce, 5 finestra.
hop 2 > 10 finestra ASAP, it’s just the best skill a hop can have, 10 pierce, 9 stabbing and 1 spear lunge, the rest is not worth investing a single point.
hop 3 (which i really don’t recommend that much but as you wish) 15 finestra, 15 pierce, 1 spear throw and 13 stabbing.
If you want more help tell me.
The build i followed was Sword1>Pelt1>Hop1>hop2>squire1>squire2>and then i went squire3 but i was planning on making myself templar.
That’s a pretty good build. Templar is the “recaller” if you played RO or RO2 would know what i mean, of your guild. Being tanky and scatter the enemy guild is your main goal as a Templar. All of this focused on future GvG’s which is the main PRO of choosing that class.
1 handed spear (Brandish or Maga Spear) + shield (Aias) should make it.
Best stat build i’d say: CON/DEX = 2:1 or 3:1
Having enough Crit resistance + HP will make you super tanky and accuracy + alot of Crit rate + Finestra will improve your damage output.
2x Gladiator bands over sissels to improve your critical attacks.
Virtov Leather boots + Virtov Plate pants + Grynas plate Top and Gloves would be my PvP set of choice.
Thanks u so much for your opinion i will consider about the hop 2 but pelt 2 is for the high guard which is the main tanky skill for pelt builds at least imo. BTW Love the name though its an annoying card if it used against you…
NotVau Thank you soooo much for the equips recommendation you saved me the time to research which to use and why, about the stats i was think about going with 1:2 Str:Con do you think its a bad choice? BTW did u see what i was trying to do with this build?
You get STR from gear, hence i recommended you Gladiator bands that grant 16 str each + critical attack, PvP wise, evasion helps alot, more than some forum people state. If you add evasion to your tankiness build, that will make you almost unkillable if you get supported by a PD.
The main problem for PvP is critical rate, the reason is exactly, Critical resistance, which is a f*cking huge counter for us, even with Finestra, you’ll have problems doing crits on full CON builds, which most Wiz and Clerics go for cause Animus.
So take this in mind, if you don’t crit, all these critical attack bonuses you get from gear, accessories and hair costumes, will be useless.
High Guard buff reduces your Crit rate for -50 hence i’d rather go 2:1 CON/DEX than 2:1 CON/STR.
If you have anything in mind feel free to say it.
Thanks ill use 2:1 Con:Dex sounds better because of your explanation.
About Evasion, Finsetra and High Guard lower the hell out of my EVA Rate in exchange for critical and block rate, can it be restored greatly by equips those same Evasion percentage i lose from the skills and does evasion and block can defend against magic type attacks?
No, you cannot evade or block magic attacks, DEX is just for crit rate, also check out for certain monster gems that will help you alot, and of course make a difference:
- Chafperor Gem +1 Finestra skill ( Goes to hand)
(You cannot stack monster gems effects)
Crit rate gems can only go to weapon and sub weapon, so would be smart to use those on your weapon unless you get a monster gem that you find more suitable on it.
Thanks a lot you helped me a lot my friend!
if ill have another build questions (for either class) would u mind me messaging you?
Sure, no problem. Also, good luck with your guild.
Tyvm hope it would work as much as i expect it to BTW i would love to know your build.
