PvP Cata - Sw3Cata3Goon or an alternative build?

OBJECTIVE

I’m looking to make a PvP focused Cata for 2v2/5v5 Arena, maybe some guild warring. My main is a Wiz3Ele3Warlock, which serves as a source of income and ET/WB character, so no need to consider those things.

STATS

DEX focused, but still with some STR as rank bonuses give it a lot of value. I want to see a lot of yellow numbers and dodge a lot. Little bit of CON mixed in.

Questions:

With such little invested in STR, maybe it would be better to just dump it all into DEX or CON? What about SPR for status resist?

CLASSES

My biggest question…is it really worth it to suffer without Pelt for a Sw3Cata3Goon, considering the PDs and Dispeller scrolls in PvP? Builds I’m considering:


^Standard build. Can anyone who uses this build talk about their PvP experiences?


^Not too convinced about this…Restrain 5 seems underwhelming. Go Sw3 or stay Sw1 seems to be the general consensus, but it’s still better than nothing. Compared to Sw3, Pelt gives an evasion bonus too, which I think works well with a DEX build.

^Would you guys consider dropping Dragoon for Pelt like this? I read that Dragoon skills do not contribute much to PvP, though I’m not convinced since their dmg output seem so high. Anyone have experience with this?

Or, should I just take the plunge and go Sw3Cata3Goon and grind it out slowly? :confounded:

too little VIT for PvP.

you do something wrong then, cleric classes are free as SW3Cata3

Thanks for the input guys. I’ve gotta Swordie3 at class 15 right now but I decided to try something other than Cata3Goon. Looking into Shinobi builds right now; I think it has good potential in PvP as well. Maybe something like Sw3 HL1 Corsair1 Dopple1 Shinobi1.

So I decided on Sw3Cata3Goon. Planned on 1:1 CON:DEX, but on hold for now, awaiting those kToS changes. Tbh, not getting STR on a Swordsman just feels kind of…wrong.

@Dogma, what’s your planned build for your Sw3Cata3?
