Both DoV and Cyclone will always be relevant as far as things go even at kTest. The extra 5 points you can put in DPE for farming/item-hunting and/or the other two skills as fillers (Mordschlag is Strike type and a guaranteed crit hit against cloth-armored enemies).
Dop, like Pel, is a 1-class wonder. I’d choose Dop over Pel in your situation though.
Ok so i have decided to go:
sw2>hop3>dop1>drag2
mainly since i dont have a choice atm cause im already swords 2. do u guys think it will be really annoying playing through pve without peltasta’s taunt?? 
technically you quest all the way to 330. so peltasta is not that much needed.
fk it i just created a new toon xD. i have no idea how i should distribute my status points. can anyone help out with that or link me a good guide.
im going:
sw>pel1>hop3>dop1>drag2
Full Dex +100con
/20chars
are u serious? what about strength?? dont i need any of it? is this cause of the combat update?? should i start pouring points in dex first or con?? if so like at what ratio like 2dex:1con. or 2con:1dex or get 100 con first then go ful dex?
Str isn´t worth it.
Dex gives you critrate/Dodge the only reason for str would be Block Pen but you can get it from Yellow gems in Gloves.
300 str gives you 300 atk.
A trans 10 weapon gives you 5k+ atk.
ok i udnerstand now. so how should i distribute points early on?
Its Hard to tell.
you can stat 10-20 con at the begining and get more con if you feel you need it.
okay ty 
im off to a good start now. i have a few points in dex cause i was saving my point and im really liking it. i will probably pour more into dex until i need more con
playing hop3 without peltasta is anoyning
it is very slow and boring when u want to gather mob
just reroll for better life
unless u want to be a realman sword3 (which is a good idea while sw2+dop not)
hop and fencer without pelt is kind of boring
cata3 doesn’t need pelt coz they run fast, doppel doesn’t coz they are true carry who rely on support
my hop hit 30-40k max hp without single con invested (no trans gear)
i started a new character. im Lv 30, Class Lv 8, and a peltasta1. i am wondering which attribute is worth maxing on peltasta
i have maxed:
Umbo Blow: Stun
Umbo Blow: Add Knockdown
I see there is Umbo Blow: Enhance. but is it worth it to spend silver on it??since you max at level 100. alot of silver. probably get 5 or 10 points in it for some extra dmg?
Meh, I’d suggest not to get those ‘enhance’ attributes. You could get by without them. As for end-game, I’d rather get gears first than damage attributes.
my damage is just sooo ■■■■. im in tenet church lvl 38 and can barely get by. maybe i put too may points in dex. i have 48 dex and 16 str lol
Buy Buffs in the City.
My swordman C3 1-shot everything there 
Full dex too.
buy pardoner buffs usually at channel 1 and beside the teleport statue… 
bu all the buffs… and go hunting… you will see the difference…
Tried Sw3>Barb3>Goon2 and is rather fun with seism/warcry/frenzy
Sw3>Hop3>Goon2 is surely good cause finestra/spear lunge/spear throw.
Still need to choose
sw1> pelt1 > hop3 > wondering what to do next , enjoying HOP a lot ( i didnt give it a try because it used spear and i prefer swords but is a fun class) , dop for cyclone ,DoV and double pay? , fencer buff work on Hop attacks? (both are pierce )
Its because you dont have str, read a good guide, full dex is totally rekt for a hoplite, only 50 points in dex, go full str with the new changes-
