Hadn’t been keeping up with updates. last time i was here, Swordsman did not have any form of scaling damage, and was only useful if they had a circle of Pelt in grinding parties, and in the Earth Tower no use outside of a pure dps Shinobi build or pure tanking build.
Well your timing couldn’t have been better. They are patching the servers now to keep up-to-speed with kToS.
All: Block penetration will now increase based on STR stats.
Swordsman: The increment for attack per STR stat will be increased by 30%.
This means STR just got a lot more efficient for Swordsman.

“Attack”? not “auto-attack only” from STR boosts?
It probably means every point of STR will add 1.3 to your total damage instead of 1 now.
Now if can just get that new scaling for Gung-ho, or was it Concentrate?

Swordsman aren’t really garbage, they’re just not quite balanced yet. This patch gives me some high hopes though. Swordsmen still suffer from lower damage on top of needing to be in melee range, and no matter how you play a Swordsman, they are still stuck in a tanking roll to some degree. Their skills still don’t scale properly, and I’ll put money on having problems in the ET.
They are buffing quite a lot of swordsman sub-classes apart from that guy said you earlier. Check the patchnotes. Swordsman will still be weaker than DPS classes ofc, but some of the changes are still a great step forward in terms of class effectiveness in both PvP and PvE.
SW class will become relevant when they nerf those CON Elememes
elememe are tanky with their f con + with just cheap items they can deal more dps ,more aoe ,more sustain dmg
Unfortunately in this patch the CON mage will get fked over by either clerics or catagoon.
Also, CON elememe is never good. Full CON mages are strong, but CON elememe is the weakest of them, due to how damage scaling works.
