[PVE] Need suggestion on my current dragoon build

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

My current build is Sword1>Pelt1>Hop3>Doppel1>Dragoon2. I’m a newbie , I just started playing this game. I only follow read and follow guides.

I dont read most ktos patch notes and new metas about the pros and cons of dragoon 2 or my build.

But can I ask a suggestion from the pro’s?
Should I still continue my build in the next combat update? Or what would you recommend me to change?

TY :^)

Hello Op,

If you want to summarize the after patch dragoon:

  • Not a boss specialist (doppel is ahead with better abilities in multi-targets :sleeping:, Lancer and Fencer are better too)
  • Not an aoe specialist. Dethrone is still not usable in multi-targets scenario (because of Mob desynch…Remove knockback attribute? ah no :persevere:). With 0 cd skills changes, Hoplite can’t hide the problem anymore…
  • Not a CC class : No stun, usable knocbacks (Dethrone one isn’t usable). Even Dragon Soar tooltip is joking about that point: “Enemies hit with this skill are temporarily launched into the air” but it is a lie like this red icon.
  • No additional tanking skill (no mitigation in any way and the previous point)
  • Decent support in an heavy oriented group with 2 good debuffs (if we hide all the problems with gae bolg) but underwhelming alone. It is still not granted that its DPS + its bonuses are enough to justify a group slot.

Its previous selling points are more or less gone (dethrone isn’t an hard hitting skill anymore, serpentine isn’t an heavy debuff).
The build you have is still the best dragoon build you can make but in my opinion Dragoon isn’t worthy of 2 cycles…

Depending on what you want to do:

A good all rounder is Doppel 3, taking highlander as base is more oriented to bossing whereas the barb variant is more aoe oriented.
=> Sw1/ Highlander 3/ Barbarian 1/ Doppel 3 vs Sw1/High 1/ Barb 3 / Doppel 3

For bossing Fencer is really nice with a lot of good synergies (barbarian fencer got 2 stacking slash debuffs, Attaque coquille that is the best “armor break”, the only one that is not 3 seconds long even if it is only for Piercing attacks)
SW (1-2) / Pelt (0-1) / Barb 3 / Fencer 3

Lancer is pretty decent in the dps chart (if you want to keep the 2H spear) but is a little be squishy (2 handed spear stance required) and will be a really decent pvp path. I’m sadly not knowledgeable enough in the lancer build but as far as I know Cataphract is really in a bad spot…

So to summarize:

  • Fencer for heavy bossing
  • Doppel for All-rounder (AOE + Really powerful bossing)
  • Lancer for a more PVP oriented path but decent in PVE too

Lancer will have one of the biggest pve single target (small aoe) bursts in game. It will probably be the easiest class to reach damage cap with the pve build.

Sw1-pelta1-hop(2/3)-cata(2/3)-lancer is the best pve build possible with lancer i guess.

sword3-hop3-cors-lancer would be an hybrid build.

sw3-cata3-cors-lancer is pure pvp build but will be okay at pve too.

I am currently SW3>Cata3>Dragoon2… before the patch

I am really thinking about switching to one of those builds you mentioned because of how bad Cataphract has become…

I am definitely keeping SW3 no matter what though. I just can’t play the game without max pain barrier anymore. (coming from my pala-monk-inquisitor) YOU KNOW HOW ANNOYING IT IS TO CONSTANTLY GET KNOCKED BACK OVER AND OVER?!

Thanks alot :slight_smile: I think i’ll have the choice on doppel whether barb3 or high3 :smiley:

only good thing of dragoon is you can use 1h spear with shield while doppel lock into 2h sword

but shield isn’t good as it used to be…

armor,pants.gloves,boots,2bracelet,necklace have mdef stat after rebalance
