So I'm leveling a DPS swordsman in anticipation of some sweet buffs next patch

IMC is going to disappoint us like usual but that’s okay, I’m still gonna try it.

I can’t help but notice Concentrate is a little uhh… useless? I mean rank 5 is doing +11 for a total of 10 hits which = 110 total damage.

This pretty much became irrelevant after I hit the 2nd map lol. But hey, it makes a cool sound effect! That sound effect makes me feel like I’m doing more damage than I actually am!

No seriously, am I missing something or is Concentrate some sort of running gag within the IMC office? People probably post their own Photoshopped Concentrate memes on their lunch rooms.

This is just all kinds of lol. “Hey guys! Let’s design the most useless skill ever!” Kim’s all like, “I GOT ONE FOR YOU LOL CHECK THIS ONE OUT!” And Concentrate was born.

attribute makes it a decent buff pre rank 7, after that it’s back to being a chore buff, or something that doesn’t matter if you use it in parties, because if you use it or not, the killing time in a wave of mobs while grinding…is the same.

In case you don’t know it’s a flat 2 more damage per attribute level, caps at 50 so +100+your concentrate level

#3

Concentrate 5 + attribute = 1110 damage, its not that big, but theres no big choice on S1 anyway

#4

Concentrate needs a str scaling :stuck_out_tongue:

Just the sound rofl I’d rather put points to pain barrier even if upgrading it only gives 1 sec more for the buff :joy:

If you only take 1 rank of swordman then concentrate is not worth more than 3 lv or just leave it al lv 0. Max bash - gungho and pain barrier
If you plan to have more swordman rank it will be a little different

btw
Even got 30% STR buff, sword man seems not have much change
due if you want pvp you will need like 200-250 DEX and the rest will up to CON for sustain. So most of people don’t up to STR build except they plan for a whole life PvE (which is boring as hell)

Learning attributes without a token takes so incredibly long they may as well make this game subscription lol.

I can buy a token from the market tomorrow when my market restrictions end. I switched servers and ended up having to wait 7 days to use the market so my silver was just stockpiling while leveling my paladin lol.

Like, if you don’t have a token it’s like playing Eve Online. Just idling next to a trainer while doing something else waiting to learn an attribute. A whole day of this and you really haven’t leveled much at all.

And the costs even with a token…

Guess I’ll be putting most of my points in STR/CON with some DEX since I find PvP boring as hell but love PvE :wink:

lol, if you want to PvE just forget about DEX
got an decent CON for HP then the rest up to STR is the best since sword man class tree don’t have skill with high multiplier and additional damage

#9

that build is so epic fail

Gung Ho and Concentrate are a waste of buff slots, I do agree that it needs to be updated

#10

Welcome to flat line scaling skills. This is why I try to keep pushing Concentrate and Gung-Ho getting revamped: They’re pathetically bad. Why did someone think this was okay in a game of scaling?

Yeeeah, uh. You’ll have all the strength in the world, but you’ll miss and cry. Imo you need 50 DEX or so in PvE because some things actually do have Dex and you’ll need it.

Seeing as Blessing is scaling now, it wouldn’t be too far fetched for concentrate to get the same treatment (although I wonder why they didn’t implement it already together with Blessing).

Concentrate now scaling with [(Str 0.07)+(Dex 0.03)]x(Lvskill-1)

Gungho Now have attribute to improve 4% dmg and 3% reduce df per attribute max at lv 5

swordman dream

#13

not really
got only few dex from equiment on my rogue with STR/ CON build (without using feint) and most of the time i’m not missed
there are some high dex mobs but it’s only a little of them and it’s not like you missed all your attacks against them, just like only 30% missed

It’s rather sad that I’m 2h weapon and full on STR build, Highlander 2 now and wagon wheel rank 5 can’t even 1 shot most enemies in Tenet Church.

In fact, without sacrament from pardner and (max weapon upgrade is good too) the recent 10 points I invested in concentrate attribute my auto attack damage is miserable. 5 hits to kill certain enemies assuming I don’t miss.

It’s not SUPER bad as I’m making it sound but I already know how shitty it’s going to be when I’m questing in the 80+ zones then 100+ lol.

I mean I’m building straight DEEPS and the game is scaling against me in ways that I can already see my DPS becoming irrelevant as I keep leveling.

Point is, it’ll just be downhill from here. I really hope IMC is bringing a lot to the table with this patch or the forums are going to explode with anger as people wasted their time trying Swordsman DPS again only to remain disappointed lol.

#16

wagon wheel ? it’s knock down skill for pvp which only worth 1 lv
you better up to catar stroke at c1 then cross slash and sky linear at c2 for dps in pve

what’s your build path btw ?

#17

I’m not willing to wait months for ‘good’ fixes in kToS and then months for them to arrive here.

The developers simply don’t play their game and have no idea what to do.

#18

Idk what you have planned for your build. But cleave does some nice damage, seism is awesome too(if going 2hand build). If going corsair there is hexen dropper. If going spear, there are few awesome things to do.

Overall i would say pre 200 swordies rock. Just need few attributes and skills you get acces to at rank 3 (such as stabbing, cleave, etc) also dashing is awesome, helps in farming a bunch

But after around 210-213, right when monsters get 40k+ hp is when hell starts

#19

I want to go C3 Highlander and thought about C3 Barbarian but I’m uncertain on the next move after C3 Highlander.

I think Skyliner has 0 CD on Ktos and if they implement that here as they announced on news, you should be good.
