Hello, my current path is Sword>Peldt>Hop2>Cos2>???.
I’m currently lvl 100 hoplite and got 80 points invested in str so far and held onto another 30 points. I am not sure if I should go full str anymore as I would like to pvp here and there. Would putting 20 points in con and getting 40+ dex make it more viable in pvp? or do you need 100+ dex? As well im unsure on whether to go Dragoon anymore, would Dopel or shinobi be viable? Any advice would be much
appreciated…
Full STR swordies can’t survive on PvP. A fletcher3 put Bleeding on you, and you’re dead in 4 seconds. Only answer is DEX and CON. Switch Leather and Plate set depending your enemy.
You want CON to survive Psychokino3 skill Gravity Pole and DEX to dodge these Archers that are so hyped nowadays. Specially Fletcher3.
Hoplite shines with Spear weapons, going Doppel will just ruin your character since it’s best with 2H swords. Swapping weapon causes you a massive FPS drop that you really want to avoid on big fights or even duels.
On top of that, you lack of stuns, leaving Umbo Blow as “main” stunner.
Since you have Corsair2, with DWA lvl 5, you could probably go:
- Fencer 1 ( 50% Evasion to counter these fletcher3)
- Shinobi ( Can hide during fights, but your opponent can still “see” you, bug?)
- Swordman 2 ( Access to Restrain and max Pain Barrier)
- Barbarian 1 (Just for 1 more stun, aka Helm Chopper)
You have it hard on this build, you need to stun your opponents on this game, chain stun them if possible. Or plainly burst them in a second so they can’t react at all.
On this case, i’d go Shinobi, for Mokuton no Jutsu and Stealth from Mijin no Jutsu. Put 100 CON (27k hp), rest on DEX, for your clones and accuracy.

Thanks.
As I originally planned to make a full str PvE Swordie and sitting at 80 str would it be best to put low con and some dex and keep it PvE? and make a second pvp character? Im fairly new so I still dont understand many of the mechanics.
If you already invested on STR, keep it a STR/CON build. 100 CON should be enough for ET, PvE.
Yes, it would be smarter to make a second pvp character.

Thanks a lot is there a need for any dex? or would having sissel, gladiator bands and running finestra be ok to hit crits?
No point putting DEX for PvE, since you get most crit rate from green gems lvl 5-6, finestra, sissels and Zalciai’s crit resistance debuff from Krivis. Keep STR to have a constant dps for your party.

How is that? I mean, how can you hide and still be seen?
