Questions about Peltasta and Hoplite

C1 Peltasta
There is consensus not to put Lv 5 in ‘Guardian’? If indeed not be worth it, put the remains of the points on ‘Rim Blow’?

C3 Hoplite
I read that it’s not worth C3 Hoplite because 5 points on ‘Finestra’ can easily be replaced by a gem of critical, and that the extra damage from other skills do not compensate. It is true?

In this topic (Swordie/Peltasta/Hoplite/Doppelsoeldner/Dragoon build) the author states that ‘Synchro thrusting’ is better than ‘Pierce’ and gives his explanations for this. Someone with more knowledge could confirm that? The topic is already old and there is not much information about.

It is really necessary a point on 'Spear Lunge ’ to increase the damage of pierce attacks? Worth it? According to the skill duration is 6sec and the cooldown is 24sec.

On the same topic above the author states that ‘Spear Throw’ is not so good because of its long animation. But from what I saw the damage is great, someone who uses the skill can tell me whether it or not worth it?

I would follow the build Peltast C1> C3 Hoplite> Doppel C1> C1 Dragoon, if not feasible or good, could anyone suggest me another? My goal is PvE.

Thank you!

1 - my guardian is at lv 4 for the duration, you know having to buff every time is annoying and you lose 1-2 or more potential auto attacks because of it.

2 - 50 crit is still 50 crit rate, it’s helpful either way, what other rank 5 could you choose anyway? squire? corsair? if you dont need anything from them might as well take hop c3.

for your other questions, i’m not sure.

but pel>hop c3>dop>dragoon is pretty standard

Don’t forget hoplite finestra attribute, +3 Aoe ratio is too good to pass.

Spear Lunge is great. It makes mooks not weak to pierce receive +50% more damage and mooks already weak to pierce receive double damage, not to mention it has Overheat. Just leave it at level 1.

Thanks for the answers. Have clarified a lot, now remains the question as to Pierce or Synchro thrusting.

goin c3 dont think its really that bad… stabbing 15 more dmg enuf said, finestra 15 can save your stat points doing a high str, standard con build for pve for not investing stat on dex, as for spear throw lv1~5 build depends on your own perspective it may have a little delay of animation hiccup but 0 cool down, y not? at least its better than spamming AA i guess?

Synchro thrusting IMO, add none to it cos it requires a shield to use it unless you gonna use shield if thats in your mind… to me end game most likely u will be either using 2h spear / 1h spear+dagger as for 1h spear + shield really depends on situation…

I’m currently sword1, pel1, hoplite2. I’m toying the idea of getting pel2 for more pull/aggro/tanking for future content. Something like sword1, pel2, hoplite2, doppel, dragoon. Not a total tank, but possibly enough along with decent dps.

if it’s for the mob count pull it’s not much. about 5 additional targets i think? and sometimes you would want less targets on your pull ex. level 190 dungeon on magic mobs to prevent yourself from dying out of 1k-2k unavoidable nukes
