PvP cata-goon build

hi , i came back after breake and i want to make catagoon , my question is why pelta instead of sw3 ? ( or this build is outdated?)

It is explained but a bit outdated.(many things changed since the first couple posts)

The short version is sw3 cata3 is still meta PvP. Then u can go lancer or drg2 after that.

But honestly if you go drg2 then pelt instead of sw3 is still viable depending on ur preferences.

Just a word of warning though, the wiki is very outdated as well.

For example guardian lv1 is -2% PAtk and +10% PDef, and lv5 is -5% PAtk and +17% PDef.

I will be writing a section for razmā€™s general guide for cata, so I will try to form the section right now in this post (feel free to add/correct and I will credit you)

skill build:

basics: this build is more of an all-rounder build for cata for general PvE/PvP.

the logic behind the build is basically PELT + meta pvp cata build. meta pvp cata build being sw3 - cata 3 - drg2/lancer. Adding pelt to meta pvp build allows it to act as offtank in parties/dungeons.

the reason I really wanted to add pelt into meta pvp cata build is because it allows to manually block which is UNIQUE to swordies and also swashbuckling is a UNIQUE taunt with no duplicates. cryomancer has something similar but not exactly the same. you can also manually block with rodelero minus the block rate boost though (25%).

As someone who played hop3 and didnā€™t like it, the only part I liked was manual blocking. Itā€™s a very fresh mechanic in an MMO and is very potent in this game.

Another + point to this build is guardian buff which gives you up to 17% PDef and 18% evasion. For an evasion build, 18% evasion is invaluable. And due to how dodge rate is calculated, every point matters.

So basically pick this build if you like manual blocking and youā€™re doing an evasion build.

The penguin pet is now BIS. After the pet dies, you no longer have to feed it. So it will have more slots, more stats, and 30 def/mdef.

This plus the str rework in the future will propel the build to new heights.

Ahhā€¦Just got my practonium todayā€¦I am already ready to craft my lion head shieldā€¦but an info from an ingame friend says that orange rcps will be here in 1 to 2 weeksā€¦I am torn with this nowā€¦that 315 orange needs 2 practo anywaysā€¦

Planning to solo 290 dun for matsā€¦which of course you need to have atleast 1 315 equipā€¦and my plan is to buff more from that 315 purple shield to tank those turnips from hell

We are not that much of a dps soā€¦need more beefā€¦that is my reasoningā€¦question isā€¦Will I regret thisā€¦oh fckšŸ˜‘

I finally reached r7 and got lv1 in dragon soar, thrust, and serpentine. Loving the new dragoon skills now. At first, I had some trouble getting used to the new hitboxes and setting up my new hotkeys but now I love them. They are pretty much the only skills I use when bossing now and I can see that they ARE for bossing since they have no attribute ratio to them. Oh and I can finally use my geras spear lol yay

My new hotkey mapping:

BTW, how do people even level at lv228? Do people party at evac or something? Itā€™s like empty on Orsha xD so Iā€™m soloing itā€¦

Guard is actually powerful in 2v2 arena against other physical DPS classes.

Usually people go evac, but I didnā€™t need to grind much. You can solo grind with rush anyway :stuck_out_tongue:

Since the EXP penalty revamp itā€™s good to grind on alemeth until 240, then skip EVAC and go to storage directly, experienced players skip evac because evac gives lesser job EXP.

Tempted to reset into Dex:Con with the event reset potion since Dex is superior by a long shot in PvP and even in PvE now. But the pending buff to STR makes the choice hardā€¦

Might just reset into full dex:

With guardian this build will have a ton of evasion (971 just from stats). For equipment just need to stack on PAtk, Def, MDef, etc. For PvP vs physical, lack of accuracy hurts too much (this build will have 823 just from stats). When youā€™re missing over 50% on someone itā€™s pretty much GG.

I can see it being good vs lancer and other physical like Schwarzer Reiter. Against magic maybe stack MDef and use Nuale cards (unsure if that will be nerfed, 80% MDef is OP)ā€¦

For this thread (?)
Cata-goon2 & Pirate Cata-Lancer
vs
2x Cleric pvp.

Quite difficult (annoying) but they did very well.

Team glasses pengu vs team hammer heal.

Clerics are OP esp inquisitor lol. Without the lancer landing hook looks to be almost impossible. I thought lancer was supposed to be anti magic. Dragoon is doing all the killing here lol. But i guess the lancer is playing a support role here.

Nice tbl match,I was wondering though on why the lancer not breaking those heal tilesā€¦
That hook is pretty strongā€¦looks like if Im going to roll a lancer that will be the build I am going to getā€¦perfect utility classā€¦all rounder pvpā€¦
and look all of them using lion shields and sacmetā€¦so even in ktos they are using their pracs on 315 purple equips alreadyā€¦

peltcatagoon can still dish damages even using one hand spearsā€¦
3 v5 tbl :laughing:ā€¦and clerics are really OPā€¦taiost dispel yumā€¦

really shocked to win this one thoughā€¦as they just rammed us in round 1 and 2

Ok 180 p atak at level 7 red gem on shieldā€¦just a bit goodā€¦I thought i was 310 haha

I resetted to full dex, and didnā€™t lose any PATK even without the new gem crap since all my headgear got massively buffed in terms of PATK. Full dex rox, I got 919 evasion without gearing for it @ lv229. I also have massive amounts of crit rate now.

Waiting to see how they buff STR to make it better lol, cuz itā€™s gonna be hard.

ROFL, decided to try my luck enchanting 1 accessory, got one with 118 Patk, and 53 PDef after 1 try. Now I have higher PAtk compared to before with STR:DEX:CON split.

I now firmly believe full dex + red gems is the way to go for this build. (pre-r8 at least)

Nice .I resetted too but still put strā€¦how many is your critrate?..

I am aiming for 2000+ max atk with this build my headgears are all already 120+ p atakā€¦

I put str so I still got block penetrationā€¦

lancerā€™s Joust can break the wheel. Unless they changed it in our version

@Natzalger
how come youā€™re not making any gameplay videos?

Iā€™m tempted to make one, but Iā€™m obviously a lot lower leveled and have worse gear than you.
