Rank 8 Swordsman Preview (Translations)

What is intended is that there will be some armor exclusive to swordsman.

Plate by itself should still be universal.

Yeah my build is Sw > Pelt > Hop > Rode3 > X (Dop / Shin / Hop2)
I took Hoplite to try to cover Rode’s weakness - weak against leather/lack of pierce, lack of aoe ratio

I already have too much strike skills to use even outside of Slithering+High Kick. I don’t need my normal attacks to also be Strike. I’d rather have spear so I can deal with leather armoured targets better

This round goes to Fencer, skill looks really good. Combine that with the venier (+2 to all fencer skill). Time to become a fencer xd.

Yea I had that shinobi do a test earlier, and confirmed that the bunshins copy the buffs if you cast gungho before bunshin.

I think only knocked down enemies will trigger the skill and the other mobs just got the hit by the AoE effect (which looks so nice! -).

Sorry man, just sayin’ what I see. Better to set your expectations right, then get very disappointed later on.

I know you have a corsair c2 or c3 somewhere in your build. I mentioned options for current corsairs in my thread here: Rank 8 preliminary thoughts

Hope it helps

Murmillo in action XD

murmillo vs barbarian :slight_smile:

Any advice for a Rank 8 pick for my Pelt 1 -> Hop 2 -> Corsair 2 -> Doppel 1?
Im thinking either Corsair 3, Dragoon 1 or Shinobi but i REALLY don’t want shinobi…

Hmm
1.Sword2
-Restrain 5
-Pain Barrier 10
-Concentrate 10 (better scaling once ktos patch comes up)
-Restrain+Cyclone = Stunlock

2.Shinobi
-Not sure if you can take hidden classes disregarding their specific rank
-Kunai
-Bunshin
-Mokuton
-Mijin (self destruct+invi)
-Katon(invi)
-SL+Bunshin+Kunai combo
-Mokuton+Iron Hook combo

3.Doppel 2

  • just an upgrade you wont benefit from the c2 skills since you have corsair 2 in you’re rank so i presume that you use DWA and won’t take two handed swords unless im wrong then c2 skills will be nice since its getting buffed along with the r8 patch
    -Cyclone 10
    -DoV 10

The r8 classes (both have gap closers)
Lancer if not mount specific will probably fit you’re build too

Murmillo if you want a some versatility since u got pelt in you’re ranks you can switch weapons from Spear/Dagger to Spear/Shield to make use of its shield skills

Others

Corsair 3 - pass i dont recommend this one until it gets reworked
Dragoon - also pass unless you’re interested on taking its c2 via r9 for the serpentine buff that gives 100% damage to all weapon types but if that serpentine buff would be available at r1 then its up to you

This actually still scales really bad…

I actually dont think that its THAT bad…
But i do think that it should offer more then it does.

But it seems more geared to PvP…

Just melee though…

Might be the only logical pick in this case…
Could also be an effective tank with the ability to block magic (not sure how that works)

Need confirmation if Murmillo works with Spears//Mace. Block magic might be related to Slithering or High guard getting some attribute. All we know about Murmillo is:

  1. more damage to shield based skills;
  2. AoE skill;
  3. ugly a$$ helmet (and it’s properties like -mov spee, -evade, stun immunity).

What do you guys think of a Sword3 Cata3 Dopel1 Lancer build as an alt to Catagoon2 or Goonlancer?

Just gonna pickup lv.5 on DPE, DoV and Mordschlag (since you can’t use Cyclone or Punish when mounted).

why dopel ?_? :confused:

If auto swap is implement, im sure alot more combination can be done, although some skill are weapon restrict. Hope imc will consider it.

I can’t get creative enough on what to fill the R7 slot. Kind of a dilemma.

I feel like Dragoon C2, which naturally will have Dragoon C1 for R7, is best suited for DPS builds e.g. a Cata3 build with a rank in Hoplite (Serpentine + Stabbing would be sweet)

Lancer on the other hand I think is the natural progression for the current PVP meta for cata (sword3 cata3) due to the utility and PVP support it provides. Dragoon C1 for R7 seems lackluster without going Dragoon C2.

EDIT: Oh man, I totally forgot about 2H spear bonus that comes with picking Dragoon. :smile:

I think I’m sold for Goon C2. Anyways, I’ll probably still have a long grind to go and by the time I’ll hopefully face the R8 question, there’ll be enough info on whether Lancer or Goon C2 is better.

Was that for me?

I think Lancer focus on GvG and Dragoon on PvE/PvP.

I think lancer focus on PvP/GvG and dragoon c2 focus on PvE.

About Dethrone: “This skill works with both short and long ranges, meaning it can be used to slay multiple monsters at once or target opponents in PvP battles.” Doppel 3 seems all about PvE though :confused:
