Already tested. Its very funny that a skill that gives u +300 block or even +1000 block (like the Crossguard of Highlander) for a short period of time, cant defend u against a magic attack even if is only 100 of damage.
I tought this game was Tree of Monks, because I saw monks everywhere, for real, everybody want to be a monk, be a priest-monk, krivis-monk, or diev-monk: monks everywhere, and most part is only because the blast energy skill, is not even because they really like the philosophy or because other pvp qualities.
BUT if you see at the game mecanics itself, you see the game is everything to make the life of swordsman harder on PVP.
Wisards can defend theyselfs easilly from physical attacks, be with traps or shields, that NOT ONLY BLOCK your attack, as have the power to reflect the attack or cause you some effect, as freeze. Can attack from distance.
Then when you think Wisards have low HP, the game make the inverse, and they can have high HP. without lose too much on power.
Clerics have the Safe Zone, one of the few manner of defend magic (Yes, wisards are like “Gods” with the unblockable magic), and also have Heal. That’s ok. Except that a Right level Cleric not only is a support, but can make much more damage or trouble in a battle pvp just with safe zone and others skills of attack, than other swordsman types.
I have a Cleric too, I know how this works.
Archers: low hp, but high DPS. (Is what I see on dungeons, they are who die more, but who cause more damage without interruptions). Can easilly kill a swordsman since can attack from distance and cause Stun, cause bleeding and who knows what else. They can lock the target on you, or at least the direction, while you have trouble to be effective on hit with the skill.
You can say about corsair be usefull because the Chain, as a SUPPORT.
Cataph because the Empaler Skill to move the enemy to where you want, more or less support.
Or Dragoon that can throw the Spear very far to hit the enemy, and have to run to catch the spear again.
But I really need go to these classes to have some a little part on the battle? There is nothing swordsman can do besides use a Sage Walll Shield and run from magicians?
Because not even the Fencer with the most hight evasion can defend this at all.
On PVE the history is pretty different. As the cleric have much more trouble to earn exp, but I’m talking about PVP.
From where I see/saw in Tree of Savior:
Wisards: Gods.
Clerics/Archers types: Usefull Warriors.
Swordsman: Maybe Tank, but not against magic.
Nevermind. Even if Crossguard had ANY use, it just dont work when I need it (Yes, after some uses, when I press the key the character just dont use the skill). I think this can be my pc or is only the high ping. Well, so whatever.
