so can you evade or block magic? with guardian or via stats
Okay, so here is my feedback.
First of all, I think taking Thrust should be mandatory, at least 1 point. It has 3 casts on 6s cooldown, very good for weakness exploiting.
Now, Concentrate feels really underwhelming, you get 11 more damage for 5 hits, itâs nothing from rank 3 on.
Rim Blow is alright, but SP is scarce for Swordsmen unless you dump some points into SPR. Unless you will be partying with Cryomancers or Elementalists a lot to trigger the bonus damage, I wouldnât get it.
Guardian is a must in my opinion. A tank should get as much damage mitigation as possible. Sure, youâll be dealing less damage, but if you are main tank, you are not supposed to deal top DPS, and as off-tank, you pop Gungho.
Squire is okay, personally Iâd take 1 point from Weapon to Arrest.
Now Centurion is hard to say, because the buffs usually are the most skill-point dependant. Who knows what are the base buffs, and how much do they increase per point. On top of that, each formation has different use, so everyone will be building Centurions differently. But one thing for sure, we wonât need 5 points in Conscript, unless devs want to make formations on level 1 for just Centurion himself, which could hardly be called a Formation.
Until we get more in-depth info about them, not much theory-crafting can be done. Personally I believe Testudo would be great for PvP, and Crane for bosses.
Yes, but INT stat increases the chance of ignoring block.
