So i’m trying to make my ideal build which is swordsman > highlander > peltasta > hoplite c3 > dragoon, and i was wondering if anyone has any improvements or suggestions as i have never played a swordsman, my build comes from looking at bits and peaces of other threads and a mix of what i thought would be good.
what my build currently looks like ^
Drop highlander for Dopplesoldner.
3 points in Bash for Knockdown.
Drop Highlander, if you are going Hoplite. Take Doppel.
Do not max Lunge. Put 1 point in it. Max Pierce.
Drop Gae, max Dragon Soar.
This is how I would build it:
If I really wanted a mount, I might take Cataphract C1 instead of either Hoplite or Doppel.
Restrain is a good addition. It serves as additional defense since you take hit alot…
Imagine, for 45 sec, you got 20% chance to stun enemies… That’ll will shut them down.
Note: not all skill are applied. It means whatever goes on the other…
I never played with Dragoon so I don’t very much but, why dragon soar is better than gae bulg? seeing in skill simulator the damage of gae bulg seems pretty high to me
He already has Spear Throw. A throwing weapon skill. Which has no cooldown at all and is spammable. Adding another one is useless.
Gae only offers burst damage and it’s bonuses lack for PvE.
HOWEVER. If you go Cata - Dragoon, Gae is awesome in PvP. Massive AoE, still gives bonuses for the team and, thanks to Cata’s mobility, you can pick up your Weapon quickly.
For Hoplite? No, not advisable.
What do you think about this? http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/s22z8qk52g/
I know you recommend spear throw over Gae but I cant see myself spamming throw anyway and Gae can create an attack zone for increased damage. And is Pelt required because I didnt really plan on using a shield or could I go swordsman 2 or something to increase Gungho and pain barrier? I havent even played the game yet so im just trying to go in with a build in mind since there is no resets.
