Well you can always switch to a 1h sword+shield jut to cast swashbuckling for hp and then switch to a 2h spear for that this class IS a good choice
if we could use a 1h spear with lancer, then peltasta will be the way to go
but still, imagining trot + shield charge seems really nice
dragoon c1 is also good, to have some damage and plus dragoon skills got CC
Dude, i have a Sword3 Cata3 Templar at 270. I dont give a two hoots about the elites. Its just to make the life easier at R7 which is just blind grind.
Just taunt and be fine with it. hold on a sword while taunting once they come close start the Cata3 rotation
please help, how about my build sw2 > hop1 > cata 3 (iām here now) > is there any alternative in rank 7 to go to rank 8 (lancer c1 build) soon? maybe corsair or dopple before the lancer?
or maybe i go to dragoon c1 first, before i decide to go to rank 8 in future?
anyway ,it seems like final fantasy xiv online game, there is a lancer and dragoon job too, lol
Pick your poison lol
None of them really stand out.
Dragoon for the cool armor XD
Swash 25% hp dissapears when you remove your shield. lol
Your right peltasta just sucks all together for pvp. Unless you want to be a full tank (which sucks) you take peltasta 1 just to get into parties because you like when other sh1tty 5k archers tell you what to do
thats my opinion on the peltasta class
not entirely though. pelt 1 is survival mode option. when you witch to shield
1950 block on guard or 400 passive . + evasion and defense from guardian is + 25% hp ā¦and if you wear sagewall for shield 115 mdefā¦is enough for you to survive a lot of skills. magic with physical.
I managed to survived a frost tree and being hit with rush and cannon with thatā¦then managed to run and come back with rush and kill that cannoner at leastā¦ haha
those secnariosā¦ will save you by having a pelt defense optionsā¦
Iām afraid Lancer will make my peltasta a mostly wasted rank. All pelta buffs go away when you switch to 2hS, and it seems Lancerās skills all work with 2hS only. Ugh. Thatās the only reason Iām really considering goon2.
Yeah, itās reallynot right to totally make a whole rank useless.
I wonder why they made Lancer 2H-spear exclusive. Could be that itād be too powerful (hard to kill) with shield on?
The best thing to do right now is to wait a bit more after iTOS release of R8 to see if something changes with regards to class progression.
I donāt think thatās the case. I believe theyāre limiting swordsmen to somehow fit their lore, and thatās about it. Although I recall some lancers using a shield and a ridiculously thick armor in movies lol.
The one thing swordsmen are missing is a way to break CC entirely that fits into the concept of not using magic for it. Let me dream for a bit here, 'kay?
Skill description:
1
Name: Force of will
Description: Removes status that prevent normal movement (freeze, raise, slow, MF, etc)
Cooldown: 60seconds
Explanation: Itās basically āpowering throughā a condition. You know, call it adrenaline or pure will or whatever. Kinda makes sense.
2
Name: Berserk
Description: Movement is unrestricted and unaffected by Status ailments for the duration of this skill
Duration: 30 seconds (give me a break here)
Cooldown: 60 seconds (i knowā¦ i know)
Explanation: Another example of a swordie or mounted unit who just keeps on moving by strength alone. Dude went mad, attitute voice āder aināt no stoppinā meeh, imma have yo aasā
Or something like that
/dream
Back to reality though, depending on how PvP evolves, picking lancer or goon could be tricky. If lancerās skills are too hard to land, probably goon2 will be more reasonable to try to 1shot people. And I totally agree removing the option of a 1h spear+shield and killing a rank in the process is absurd.
I havenāt read any comments but Lancer is GvG focused and Dragoon PvE/PvP focused. If you donāt plan on playing in guild wars, Lancer wouldnāt be a great choice.

Yes. I want to be a lancer too. But our build says goon2. Sooā¦ goon2 it is.
Lancer I think is gonna be good in 5v5 too. Maybe not much for 2v2, thatās for goon2.
IMC forced us into goon2 so goon2 it is lol. Tbh i really wanted to be lancer too but a whole wasted rank is no good. U should just reroll at that point.
Itāll be even easier for you guys to get into parties because youāre considered DPS already, and have swashbuckling compared to sw3 builds.
Yeah. But to be really honest. I did not get peltasta for that purpose lol. I just really like being a shield and spear wielding mounted dude. Like a paladin in ragnarok with cc skills of a mastersmith. The perfect description of class I love to play. I am having fun. That is the point of it allšā¦
and I am used to solo leveling too. Dont really like parties at all. Mmorpg for me is for buy and sell trading hunt and pvpā¦
There is noone to party with in Orsha anyways.
