Hello there.

I’m just posting this to share my swordman experiences with someone interested.

Firstly. Swordman leveling is easy and even fun xD, but as soon as i hit an certain equipment threshold. Nothing can kill me, as long as it is around my level. I literally farmed Egnome, pressing z button down and reading on my tablet some novels. Just checking the screen for durability worrys. And possible change position or use a pot here and there.

At sometimes i had 20 or so mobs on me. Spamming their skills.
My pet has had alot on him too (yay for other char being hunter).
As soon as i hit 55 dex and the high eva threshold. Combined with 90 magic def and 110 defense, on level 40.
Things were really jus tickling me. the egnome cant even hti me physicaly, and magicaly it does 20 dps or so? (against 5k health at level 55 now).

My build atm is:
vubbe fighter gloves < found the blood xD lucky stroke.
Protas boots < you can buy evertyhing for about 15k. High magic defense and eva.
tneet chainmail< 8 con. No need to say more.
kiteshield
thresh sword<best one handed sword
steel chain pants< nothing else yet

I’m 55 with gungho i have 220 atk.
My build is 3 circle swordman atm.
Against cloth armor targets i do massive dps.
Against plate a bit less (-50%).

Double Slash is really nice. I crit about 60% of the time with it. 3 chrages … haha.
Pommeling is op. 3 charges and bonus dps on stunned enemys. The def ignor of 70 is really nice too. Egnome hitting it for about 800 dps non crit.

I will go 3 circle barbarian next.

My build rellays on crit and an high bonus atk from gong ho. The sustain comes from a bit con and the eva of dex.

35 str
20 con
55 dex

at level 55 atm.

As soon as i hit level 75. I will be able to equip golden falchion.
The best weapon ingame for crit dps. Naturally doubling my crit atk.

For calculations i wont get much bonus atk (outside of level bonus and gong ho attributes anytime soon).
So at level 75 i will have 3,5 times dps as crit. And crit alot against non crit resit enemys.

250*3,5-100 (enemy def vaguely)= 775 crits

xD auto atk madness.
And i wont say much about the dps from pommel and double slash xD. I’m already critting at 600 dps against plate armor (which i am weak against).

… Now i’m just stuck in one big mess.
WHICH CLASS I AM GOING TO PLAY ON REALESE q.q.

I love pyromancer linker, it’s fun and really nice to solo or party.
I love my dodge Sword … it’s just so mind boggling xD.
I love my multishot crit archer xD. One skill which crits 80% atm, dealing 2,5k ~4k dps at level 45. And i can use it twice xD.

Fix your title man, unless you were aiming for what you made :mushroom:

Hey, this thread is funny.
You say you are a swordie c3 ? Crit based ? Wow.
For the sake of testing, i builded a full dex with a restat scroll to see how much crit i could land on monsters (I’m swordie c3 too)
Answer : roughly 1/3. 1/2 at best… With this, i won’t try the golden falchion, it’s not worth it.

Also, i’m full high def plate armor with a shield, plate armor attribute lvl 23 with 7k hp and monsters on 3rd floor Mausoleum are forcing me to use potions… Full str build actually with a Toy Hammer to deal this least of dmg on them… I even have concentrate and gun ho lvl 15 with concentrate attribute lvl 25…
Next to me barbarians with one hand weap, no boost are spamming some overkills… I’m getting job 4 really soon, i will get out of this job for Hoplite, in hope to get some dmg with finestra crit and other spells…

I don’t know how you can play this easy on a c3 swordman and I must admit that my jimmies are rustled a little.

You’r doing something wrong then xD.

Do you use crit rate modifier gem’s?

Given that an level 2~3 gem can give you some crit rate.
If you stack one in your shield and two in your sword. The crit rate increases by alot.
(i have roughly 60 dex atm at level 60. My crit rate is nearly 80.)

I must say, yes. My auto atks don’t crit that much. mostly about 1/3 to 1/2 of the time.
But they’re only for filling time.

The 25% boost on ture crit chance from the double slahs attribute is helpfull.

But yeah, i will go barbarian next.

The problem with swordy skills are= they have a low base atk.
Barbarians have an massive base atk + their main dps skill “cleave” got +50 crit rate on it.

Seism, frenzy and warcry enhance their dps output even more.

Against targets with low def double slash is better then cleave.
Against targets with high def, cleave is better.

Cleave is an high crit skill early. +50 crit rate is extrem.
But will fall of sooner then later, as the pure crit chance of double slash scales better.

And i hope you calculated your dps on flachion.
Math: with lets say 100 str against 100 dex.

weapon 100+100 str+90 level= 290 atk
weapon 100+ 0 str+90 level)*3,3~3,5 roughly=665

As long as i crit 50% of the time i do more dps.
And even more so when enemys have an high def. I dunno abotu toy hammer xD.

But with what i experienced. Even with just the bonus of 1,5 crit atk. My damage is nice. I have seen barbs, doing less dps then me. Mostly, because they only have 2 usages of cleave and don’t crit with it that much.

Its stupid how much of a critical attack boost Golden Falchion has. I prefer two-handed weapons though, sadly ToS only have 2h sword and spear, need more 2h weapon types for Barbs.

wait till you’re in high level dungeons , the monsters are like equiped with MKB .

Well you should clearly be in leather armor x4 for max evasion.
