Swordsman is weak

for someone who want maximized pvp performance against people with shields against clercics and against wizards lancer is the desired choice.
be aware that the block penetration buff according to the current scaling will have 100% uptime, 125% block penetration buff and 100% block debuff.

Yeah that s why Lancers are fit for dex build

My 2300 C block will be more nothing now to those lancersā€¦catagoon meta already penetrate it a lot. What more with additional penetrationā€¦ fukšŸ˜‚

yey new costume~

How to read the answer to:
We are constantly testing various ideas with regards to re-balancing the Swordsman class

=> We donā€™t know how to balance your crappy classes.
We are going to give you special items (with the 0.0000001% drop rate as usual) to be able to do less than the others do naked :persevere:

Just give every swordsman class an attribute at C3 which would improve their utility overall.

Some examples would be
Increased AoE attack ratio
Increased AoE defense ratio
HP increase
Increased movement speed
Less SP usage
It goes onā€¦

The tough part with swordsman in general is that the class variety is extremely large compared to others due to their limited utility. The other classes donā€™t use at least 3 types of attacks in their skills.

Eg. Archer with mostly missile based attacks
Cleric with magic or strike
Wizard is basically all magic

So to compete, swordsman are given class specific items, but this needs to boil down into giving attributes that would help these weapon specialists excel at what they do.

2h swords could get a mixture of AoE attack ratio and damage bonus
2h spears could get a mixture of def ignoring and block penetration
1h swords could get a mixture of AoE defense ratio and movement speed
1h spears could get a mixture of crit bonus and resist

These kinds of buffs will help differentiate these varieties of swordsman by placing them into the category that they are designed for and not having to be locked by stat points or gears like the other base classes

If only swordman can use skill while jumping, it 'd be great buff XD, since sw can dash which make sw really mobility, they can deal more dame, and also more fun XD, i 'm really like sw when they jump and AA, look really badass

Swordsman can compete more nowā€¦seeing murmillo killing 3 wzies in tblā€¦dethrone one shoting other classesā€¦
Lancers fuking cleric and wizziesā€¦
But still thoughā€¦no sw in top 10 long enoughā€¦even with super op equips and max attriā€¦still having hard time top 10ā€¦:expressionless:

Oracabal Inquisitor = best swordsman!
