Swordsman 3…is this viable? and what path will it take? Please Help! Thanks
I don’t see someone with this build, and I’m planning to be the first. LOL. Any advise guys? :gawi:
Well its very limited…
Sw3 cata3 xxx is the most popular build around
I think
Sw3 rode3 shinobi murmillo would also be good even tho lvling would be nightmare.
And maybe…
Sw3 hop3 dragoon2 ? Dunno seems to edgy

its the most popular swordsman build.
imo swordsman 3 is great at dps just like it is best at pvp
lvl 15 gung ho and lvl 15 concentrate are very strong now with the concentrate buffs.
It’s one of the more popular builds, PvP specifically.
Sword 3 cata 3 is your best bet. However, there are more paths that can go sword 3. For example sword 3 pelt hop 2 shinobi, sword 3 pelt rode 3 murmillo
Level 15 gungho is a waste. Get 3 of it, put the rest to pain barrier

Sword 3 is the most popular PvP build. So yes, it is viable.

Whats annoying about S3’s gimmick is that Double Slash requires a bleeding target to get enhanced damage and bleed only can be triggered on a stunned enemy (same for the bonus damage on pommel beat). However the stun just doesnt last long enough for Thrust/Pommel Beat to land and benefit from it, making the whole class’s self synergy (for damage at least) falls apart. This can be walked around if at Rank 4 a class with stun is choosen, like Barb or Rodelero, but its still kind of a shame that by itself the whole gimmick doesnt work.
Pierce from Hoplite causes bleeding
Double Slash is only +200 damage against bleeding targets so it doesn’t matter anyway.
