Hello, guys!
I’m completely new to the game, but an old fan of RO. I would like to start off with a PVE swordman, so can you guys please help me with the advise?
My desired focus is full-PVE, pure DPS kind of build. If possible, please also advise what skills and stats I should focus on.
Thank you!
u could go for peltasta>hoplite c3> doppel > dragoon
i really like this build for PVE dps and u can even off-tank if needed
I’ve read about the sword>>pelta>>high>>doppel build. Is it more of a glass-cannon one?
they are both good, but in my opinion if u want full PVE, the hoplite>doppel>dragoon is probably the best build for swordie
Thank you very much, Lenny, I appreciate your input!
Could you please also help me with skilling and stats?
As I read, for stat it’s 4:1:2 for STR:CON:DEX, but what about skills?
if u are going hoplite c3, go for 4:2:1
u want swashbulck 5, guardian 1.
finestra (15), stab, piercing, spear lunge (1), spear throw (5)
Deeds, double pain earn, cyclone,
no dragon soar
Thank you again!
And what’s the difference between 2-H Spear and 2-H Sword builds? Does the spear build offer more AoE skills?
both are good and have good AoE, u need to choose the skills / style u like
i said spear i probably the best, but both are strong,
i’m going for 2H sword myself =)
Barbarian c3 is worth to pick now or is nerfed?
Unchanged from CBT. I.e. needs to be buffed BADLY.
I think the only strong thing going for Barbarians right now is the fact that ALL of their skills have built in massive AoE bonuses. Seism has the biggest AoE number in the game for Swordsmen.
True the class seems to need a lot of buffing but don’t forget Frenzy and Warcry being solid buffs for any build, be it anything. It’s just not insanely future proof though.
A lot of Swordsmen classes lack % scaling. Just flat damage on a lot of skills. That’s it. Look at Wizard, Archer and Cleric all have multipliers and big % boosts in many skills.
Swords? Nope. That’s why it’s considered one of the bottom classes endgame and since there’s no need for tanks in the game really, falls off.
Won’t stop me from making my Sword > Pelt > Barb3 > Dop2 (or Sword > High > Barb3 > Dop2).
I like Two Handed Swords and Thighlander, as sexy as some have made it out be, doesn’t appeal to me in the slightest with their 1 aoe abilities and a lot of people still think Skyliner is an amazing ability with 15 sec cooldown.
if u are going for doppel c2 u need highalnder for bonus crit dmg…
It’s a trade off really:
Do you want more dodge / defense, ability to taunt (mob easier) 12 mobs and shield blocking (it’s better than 2h blocking and swapping weapons isn’t that hard if you got low ping and skilled) and a nice shield attack. I’m going to go a little into Dex and wearing leather, so dodge is nice and I know how annoying it is to try and mob without Swash + I can then help in dungeons. Also Swash attributes make you get 25% health too.
or
Do you want 50% more critical damage with 2H swords (big numbas son), 2H sword blocking and a extra hit that causes Shock and cartar level 3 is a nice early leveling skill but falls off quite a bit but can act as a nice knockback and wagon whell is pretty crappy without H2 for increased AoE but a decent knockback.
I’m torn between which.
No one forbids you to go with Sword - Pelt - High3 - DoppelC2 path.
You can have both in this case, actually. Except AoE, but later Doppel solves this too.
Stop trying to sell me your Memelander build already. Not biting.
I also did consider Pelt > High > Barb 2 > Doppel 2 but, nah
Get of your horse and stop taking actual suggestions for bait.
Despite the nerf, Highlander still offers you the best synergy in the tree with Doppel, simply because of 2H.
==>Not playing class even if it was nerfed
==>Memelander
Take a rest from imageboards son.
Wow are you ok? I was only joking. I see them both as viable, just Memelander doesn’t appeal to me in the slightest.
And I already said in previous thread, that I have no problem with this, just suggesting a path, which gives you both utility and AoE.
Calm down. If you want to play barb that badly, no one is stopping you.
Hey no one is stopping you for playing Memelander, just chill ok? Don’t hurt me with your level 3 Cartar and 15 second Skyliner spam.
I’m completely chill, I’ve decided on my build months ago, even before the nerf.
And by the way, I’m taking High not because of Cartar or Skyliner, just saying. So yeah, I’m done arguing.
