Me too. We’re more alike than you know, probably as stubborn too. I’m not actually arguing at all, I just don’t get why you’re so darn hostile to anyone building their 2H swordies differently than yours. You preach your build every time I try to talk about Barbs in every thread. Just, chill, ok? We can be cool.
Hi man, why u recommend 1pelt 3! Highlands why three? And 1 pelt! For skull swing? For max cross cut and skyline combo ( which probably will go down in iobt 15s cd after 2 use skyline)?
I see you are not noob btw and know how painful 240+ mobs are, and it’s complicated to be alive after taunt 1c peltasta in hight lvl dng. Of course with heal it might be not SO painful, but automatching create an unbalanced party like 1 swordi and 4 f*cking memeshooters+ cloaking+mushket and if they asking you for taunt… And u use it… it’s 80% you will die with Mage mobs room.
Or another party with Mage 3 ele 3… After first frost cloud u loose all your peltasta c1 agro. This op build with 1 pelt for mobs around 30~200 lvl. That’s my foghts about 1c peltast.
Pls say I’m wrong. And give me some advise. I’m bagging you. Cuz all my swordi story makes me mad-sword-hater.
Is there a default aoe attack ratio for a swordsman / subclasses? Do some of them get a bonus or is it just represented in the attacks itself?
What I mean is, a default or a passive as you may, is there one?
correct me if i’m wrong swordi has basik 3 aoe rate
Then what’s the actual difference between barbarians and hoplites when they go into doppelsoldner? With the correct equip, both will end up at 14 aoe ratio for cyclone if I count it correctly so at least on that skill, their aoe damage will be on par.
I might be losing it but I’m doing a lot of theorycrafting and I see less and less of a reason to go barb, seems like 2h pike is the way to go.
U can’t wear 2h pike with out dragoon or poopoofrakt
Yeah but then you have spears like brandish that are one handed and also provide 2 aoe attack ratio. And that upgraded should last you for a long time I imagine.
I recommend Highlander for three because of Skull Swing and Skyliner + Crosscut Combo, even of nerfed. It’s still very powerful source of damage.
Highlander also has Crown to deal with Magic mobs, although it will be much more useful with bosses.
And Peltasta1 is basically off-tank. If you want a real dedicated tank build, you can try Sword - Pelta - Rode Fencer combo. Rank 1 is indeed only needed for aggro and Guardian’s Evasion attribute.
i alredy try on this tank build and i dont like it at all. with bad party all this anti mage shield with superb control skills is not worth it ( in pvp the same thing slizering did not give status immun ), and one more thing, i spend a lot of money for repair with this build. Can we create something fresh for tankiswordi?
To be a great tank, you must utilize everything you have for defence from all fronts.
This combination exactly supplies you with that. It has Defence, it has Block, it has Evasion and it has magic tanking. It even has CC and pretty good damage with Fencer, who futher compliments this choice.
It’s literally a benchmark for tank builds. Other choices suffer from one-sided skills, like with Pelta you concentrate much on Block and Def, but have no damage and magic tanking.
Rodelero is good at magic tanking and CC, but suffers from pretty low damage still and not having Defence and Block.
Fencer gives you Evasion, damage and a little bit of Block, but to maximize it’s potential you need to synergize it with other classes.

The big question and Highlander 3 or Barbarian 3 ??? or else Highlander 2 and Barbarian 2 ??? For DPS in end game Earth Tower and more.
No Highlander2 and Barb2. It’s a bad choice either way. You need to max out one of these Circles certainly.
Barb has AoE and is basically a mobbing machine. In my personal opinion it works better with Fencers.
Highlander has more utility and debuffs, which help greatly.
It all depends on your playstyle.
hi guys, I didn’t have the chance to play the CBT so I have a few questions.
I usually make a farmer/solo swordy and rush to max lvl as my first char in a new game. Can I solo most part of the game until or I will be doing lot of dungeon in ToS? Can I solo most of the dungeon? I used to play RO long time ago and I soloed to max lvl and then for end game content, I hunted MVP with parties. Can I do it like that in ToS too?
What is the most optimal DPS swordy for pure PVE? I heard that peltasta > hoplite c3 > doppel > dragoon is the best build which focus mainly against bosses and pelt > barb c3 > doppel c2 is the best for mobbing in CBT. Was there any nerf/buff after CBT?
Do you think it would be more optimal for DPS if I change high for pelt in this build pelt > barb c3 > doppel c2? The only good thing about pelt in this case would be taunt but I dunno how important is it in ToS. I heard it was mandatory for party though. Also for peltasta > hoplite c3 > doppel > dragoon, do I lose a lot of dmg/stats for changing doppel into cata because I love mount? xD
Just out of curiosity, what are the best pvp builds right now for swordy considering known endgame content?
Thanks in advance guys.
