It is better but 40% (with sedmia) is almost the same as SW3 before and by own experience 40% is already more than enough for stun locking. You gain a lot from pelt instead of SW3. Thats 18% evasion, Block and swash buckling compared to additional 20% in restrain and a little bit of improvement on concentrate and pain barrier. You can wall physical with very high evasion while using block and gets to the party very fast.
you donât get 18% evasion anymore from guardian.
Block just became worse with block penetration from str, itâs a fact that the best pvp swordies are still sword 3 cata 3
i have beaten enough sw 2 peltastas in team battle league to know that.
When your goal is to PVP you donât care about getting into parties fast.
Guardian now just reduces your attack damage by PERCENTS
yea amazing skill
EDIT: my corretion, you still get 18% evasion from guardian, but it still reduces your attack by 14% at lvl 1 and 28% at lvl 5, which is very bad.
besides, it isnât hard to take a superior bandit glove and +10 it and stack 2 accuracy gems.
swordsman 3 is still better for pure pvp.
if you want to pve go ahead and go peltasta, you just wonât be better at pvp.
If you think SW3 is better than SW2/pelt then thats your opinion the fact is SW2 gets the strength of SW3 from before. Saying SW2 sucks at PVP is like saying SW3 before the patch sucks too. For the record all of pelt1 skills are usable at PVP even swash for additional HP with the exception of course on blows something.
i didnât say its bad for pvp, i said its worse than swordsman c3
60% stun is just better, i 1v1âd a swordman c2 peltasta many times and i won every time especially now, 60% stun means you will stun MOST of the times. you forget that blocking doesnât make any damage.
Even the original poster agrees with me
it was nerfed too much. and swordsman c3 got buffed.
You defeated all of them because you havent yet encounter someone who knows how to build and to counter your Rush stuns. Good pelt will guard against incoming rush if the timing if off then the problem is the player himself not the skill build. If you go High str youll miss 80% of the time if you fought a pelt with 1.3k+ evasion. If you go dex with lots of accuracy means youre lacking block penetration to kill a pelt while using guard.
If it is 1 on 1, guard can still be used while being impaled you can test if you have doubts. Anyway it just means SW2 is viable build for cata3, if you think SW3 restrain 20% gives more than pelt has to offer then go ahead. 40% chance per 3 hits in a sec using Rush still more than enough to stun lock anyone, anything more than that is a waste IMO.
I am str build . But I managed to save for that +11 brandish with good awakening 28 p atk that is on market nowâŚI am really comtemplating if I should buy that or buy a max petamion insteadâŚthen buy a magas spear.
I knew I wasnât the only one who believe Lv15 Impale is super good especially with catacomb pike, I had an argument with a PVP Cata build user who kept it at Lv1 to spend more points on doom spike/earth wave⌠I guess it takes more than common sense to know how useful a skill can really be.
Iâm pretty sure it will be enough to destroy any plate armor user in arena once they are impaled, as long as it doesnât glitch and deal no damage when you smack that isâŚ(still needs fix)
Yeah .I might reset and make doom 1 . Get rid of steed and level 10 impale. But impale ia useless in pve. I just need to level 280 first before I do that.
But in pve you can slam the impaled in mobs
And deal damage. Problem is for boss though
Need to find to impale first before you slam it to the boss lol. And the damage can it par with doom?
