Semi-Dps Semi-Tank Swordsman?

Class and Rank
#1

For those who did play in CBT1, is this possible? I would like to really get to know opinion of someone who tried something familiar, then again with recent skill/class changes anything can happen, but I want to know if it is possible to create something like this, which is good in solo as well as in party. I was thinking of going Sowrdsman -> Peltasta --> 3x Hoplite–> Then what, Cataphract?

Something familiar to Lord Knight from Ragnarok Online with Pierce or Spiral Pierce/Clashing Spiral
or maybe something like Peco Peco type -
For example - http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/mz8974jo40/

Yes.
Yet I don’t understand your thoughts behind the skills you chose in that example.

As Cataphract C3 you are going to want to be semi-tanky anyway.
As Hoplite C3 not necessarily.
So which are you aiming for? Cata C3 since you aim for Lord Knight (Spiral) Pierce build?

Cannot decide, to be honest. I have never experienced game before, didn’t get into first CBT.

Sorry forgot to type in Edited information!, that skillbuild is another thought :wink:

So, Cataphract C3 is okay as semi-tanky, and good for PvE? I did watch some videos, i already like that Rush skill! but tell me if you know this, can I use skills with One Handed Spear? Or it needs to be Legendary Grade? Because on skill desc says - 2HSpear, 1hspearArtifact something

Cataphract is a great class, currently. Both in PvE and PvP (if you ignore the few OP classes that inevitably will be nerfed).

Yes, the Req.Stance tells you the equip you need to have on in order to cast the spell. So when something like Doom Spike says:
“TwoHandSpear, OneHandSpearArtefact, OneHandSpearShield, OneHandSpearDagger”,
you can cast the skill with either of these weapon(combination)s.
When it says none, then you can use it with every weapon.

The question that you will ask yourself most often is not
“what weapon-type do I like more”, but rather:
“what weapons of a weapon-type are currently available that do not suck?”
So, currently, you will find yourself more inclined to just use one or the other weapon based upon what weapons you (don’t) come across.
I personally would suggest 2H-spears if you got the choice, because some of them have multi-hits as effect on them, which is very convenient.

To get back to your choice of skills - since you are still undecided and haven’t gotten to experience the class yet - my suggestion would be to max. out Impaler, Rush and either Doom Spike or Steed Charge(but usually Doom Spike unless you have a way to slow). The leftover points typically go into Trot.

Thank you for reply!

I di check some end game spears, and found few quite interesting ones! Ljke gamble ! :smiley: which can be fun at times. I am not going to PvP at all, bored of this stuff already in game RO like, so i am looking for full PvE build. If it is okay with you, could you post yoyr build, and how should i raise stats to get most of it?

Also, what is artefact, is it something off-handish? Because i just noticed that now, it is actually a combinatiln of items in skill req :stuck_out_tongue:

#6

Artefact are in-game TOS definition of off-hand weapons.

As far as the information we got, they are including, but not limited to Shield, Dagger, Handgun, Cannons, Magic Items (None available yet for now) and Cosmetic prop Items (Flags, etc). Edit: Oh, and Shovel! Yeah, never forget the Shovel guy(or girl?)

Off-Topic: Respect to both the Shovel and the Flag!!

Sure.

Buffs are clashing

Gungho and Guardian cannot be activated together, choose only 1

CC skills not taken

bash has knock down - put a point in it
umblo blow has a knock down and stun - put a point in it

AoE skills not taken

doom spike is your 2nd largest AoE clear skill - put a point in it

Right, i was thinking to put one point into bash, but… Skill have 6sec CD and I have yet to play this game and the other skill have no cooldown at all, that was major factor to this :P. Doom spike, Roger that.

Is CC that much important in this game? Single target that is

Edit:
I do not see Doom Strike to have any AoE Attack Ratio on skill calc, that is why i decided to go with Earth Wave :wink:
Edit2:
Okay, but still even if Gungho and Guardian cannot be activated together, i can still choose later on, if I need more def to by more tanky, or more damage to deal more damage, right? That is why i though it is okay to have both… then again I aim at Pure PvE build, that I can handle solo with without any problems, as well as party stuff
