Lancer : Another hidden class (or maybe normal class) for Swordsman but for lower rank, maybe rank 6. Why? Because of the ridiculously plain costume for a high ranking class and it doesn’t make sense to me if Lancer > Dragoon. But if IMC really plan to put this class at in higher rank, it would be rank 8.
Lancer would be a class that will charge ahead to their opponents with some CC potential or maybe jump skills like from Final Fantasy. This class won’t restrict any specific weapon so you can be a cavalry with sword or 2h sword or rapier as a weapon.
Luchador : A regular class for rank 8. This would be a class that excels in close range combat and inspired by Raw, WWE, Smackdown moves. This class will be optimized by single-target lockdown CC skills (treated as unranked status ailment) while dealing damage. Luchador should also have a “smackdown” skill that will deal tons of AoE damage to enemies that got affected by knockdown. Luchador may also have a skill where they can throw or smash their opponent around.
Remember this?
It’d be similar to Psycokino’s Telekinesis except this one is a melee skill and can’t be prevented by cheap Dispeller or Oracle’s Prophecy or maybe even PD can’t prevent it because it is an unranked status ailment (and it makes sense if it is. It is not like the Luchador slips when they hug their enemy and smash them around).
Matador : Another rapier user besides Fencer that should be placed at rank 8 together with Luchador. Matador might also get a new sub weapon (cape). Matador will have a skill that force 1 enemy or more (maybe 2 or 3 at max) to focus on Matador and duel them. If Peltasta’s Swashbuckling only works against monsters, then this one will work against players, which means a CC skill and possibly can’t be prevented (treated as unranked status ailment or maybe level 3 status ailment “Angry”).
Centurion : We already know how they work, but they might get some changes later on. I also predict this class will be either a rank 9 or 10 or even hidden class.
Murmillo : Also known as “The Fish-Men”, a class inspired by Roman gladiator. As you can see, Murmillo will be a impenetrable fortress that depends fully on shield to gives them an edge in defense. This will be a much upgraded version of Peltasta and Rodelero. This class will have skills with specific stance in order to attack while blocking enemies attack, or counter attacking their enemies with very high damage.
Yes, this class is a godsend for those who want to be a tanker, a MUCH BETTER tanker than Peltasta and Rodelero. This class will also have the possibility to block or nullify any form of damage. This class will focus on its 1 handed sword (gladius, spatha) and shield (tower shield). If Swordsman are crying about how OP Archer and Wizard damage is, the next time will be different when all their damage tickles or get nullified. This will be a rank 9 class.
Retiarii : Also known as “Net Fighters” or “Net-man”, a class inspired by Roman gladiator. In Roman history, Retiarii was often paired with Murmillo in the arena. They are agile, utilize spear and a net (possibly a new sub weapon), equipped with light armors. I can already see this class will focus on CC to capture their enemies with a net, drag them around, and stab them with spear.
Yep, another CC for Swordsman except this time it’ll be treated as unranked status ailment because this is no magic, this is you throwing out a net to capture your enemy AND you can drag your enemy around (logic). Corsair’s Iron Hook is the same, that is Corsair throwing out a rope to tie up their opponents. But by that logic, Squire’s capture should have the same treatment right? However, considering how insane the effect is for a rank 5 skill (you can capture more than 10 people at once for 10 seconds and giv 4-6 seconds slow + defense penalty as after effects LMFAO), looks like IMC made it so this Capture skill is treated as status ailments, for balancing purpose.
If Swordsman are crying about how OP Wizard’s CC is, the next time will be different when Retiarii can capture Wizard from afar before they can do anything. Paired with Murmillo, Retiarii will be a rank 9 class.
Conclusion :
At higher ranks (rank 8++), Swordsman will shine people.
