Rodelero Potential. Future Murmillo?

Hello Saviors.
With the changes of very many classes tomorrow, one of them is rodelero. When i first played the game during the first day of open beta, i was really curious about this class. But many have said very bad things about this class (huhu). But Rodelero will now be receiving a i think a nice buff? I dont really know so thats why im going to ask for advice to those swordy masters. And also the rank 8 classes are already announce and one of them is murmillo who is also a shield guy(why not have two shields equiped? hahaha).
And so I made this build:


For Swordsman:
The standard build for it i guess.

bash 3 to get the knockdown attribute.

gung ho and concentrate 5 just to make early leveling easier.

Pain barrier 2. always on the move…

For Peltasta:
Umbo and Rim Blow up to 6 to get the attribute

Swashbuckling lvl 15 (21 mobs coming at your face, why not?)

guardian 1 for the attribute

Shield lob?? no (I love my shield)

High guard 3 to get the attribute

Butterfly 5 (i really expected i would fly using this skill) well it hits hard

Umbo thrust 1 to get the debuff which is very cool as it temporarily loses the effects of armors to mobs.

Langort 5. still have no idea how the block works but i just want to have a pierce attack.

For Rodelero:
Derp charge 1 (i really liked the idea of this skill though…)

Montano 15 it has stun (1 sec. duration… its something :3) and also its slash attack which i only have with bash

Target Smash 15. it hits hard and can cause blindness good for those range classes.

Shield push 1 just to get the unbalance debuff which now causes 30% chance of being knockdown by basic attacks. reason for getting one because i already have umbo thrust to reduce defense.

shield shoving 1. more cc :3

Shield bash 1. I heard this skill is buggy when scrambling stats. i might end up buffing the enemy. but still get 1 why not?

slithering 1. with 10 sec downtime, magic immunity really is cool :3 and also when it hits an enemy they receive additional strike damage.

Shooting star 5. hits hard and is now changed to strike type

High kick 5 also hits hard and enemies will temporarily take additional strike damage.

As for the stats im thinking 100-130 con and all strength. maybe a bit of dex for accuracy? will be wearing plate armor and wish this would be viable for murmillo.

Keep in mind that im still a newbie though and i have no experience lvl220 and above. I do like swordies and i dont care for their cute dps. it does not mean that a low dps would be entirely useless. all of the things i have said are just pure research and opinions from other people. and i am asking for your opinions those pro swordies out there. thank you!

It also contains recommendations for Murmillo builds

Edit: I also wrote a piece here: Rodelro need help...!

Thanks for the quick reply, that was fast haha.
I dont quite understand how shield bash works. I saw in another post that it is buggy.
