Powerhouse Tank

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

Quick question;

I’m looking to make a doppelsoldner that has the ability to properly tank. I want to deal high damage but also want the ability to tank when it’s necessary; what would be the best way to go about this? I don’t want to play one of the tank classes because they seem to not do much while they tank, which isn’t what I’m looking for.

Currently I’m considering going

SW -> Pel 1 -> Barb 3 -> Doppl 2

However this may leave me lacking a bit in tanking ability, I don’t know if a weapon switch to sword and shield will allow me to use the Guard [c] ability to tank end game (with high CON). What would you guys suggest? Thanks in advance!

It will work, however i suggest replacing the last rank with SHINOBI or Dragoon

becouse doppel c2 req you to be with 2handed

while with dragoon and shinobi you can live with the shield +spear sword, and still use all skills with both 2handed and 1handed.

Actually you dont have to worry about this one.
This is why weapon swap exist.
Just equip the other slot with sword and shield and alt z and your good to go.

but then you won’t be a “powerhouse tank” you will be 2handed dps.
you can’t really tank with 2handed trust me…
i’m tanking storage mobs 262 (blue nuo) and if you think you could survive it with swapping to 2handed you’re wrong…

so you’ll be limited with shield and cant use your strong doppel skills.
let alone cyclone increase your block rate so it works great with shield aswell.

overall sure it’s viable but think it will kind of limit you, and will lean toward dps…

oh and if you activate DoV you good as dead at the higher levels sadly…
