Do Swordsmen have any overpowering synnergy options with other classes? As far as i’ve seen. The strongest combinations have been with Dopple’s and Cryomancers, but I have yet to see anything somewhat devastating outside of those two.
Considering how vanilla the Swordsman class is, you’d think there would be way more class synergies out there involving them.
Cryo + rodello gets pretty sexy.
Snatching (Hunter) - Provides a 100% Bonus to Strike and Slashing attacks on affected mobs. Affected mobs can only be those of the flying type.
Lethargy level 1 (Wizard C1) - Provides a 100% bonus to strike when attributed.
Peltasta and Rodelero have skills (targe smash, Rim blow) that deal extra damage to frozen (Cyromancer) or petrified (Elementalist, Kabbalist) enemies.
Gae Bulg (Dragoon) - Gives a status effect to enemies that makes them take extra damage from physical attacks working well with multi hit attackers (Some archer).
Ice wall (Cryomancer) - Throws out shards when hit and likes multi hit attackers (Cyclone, Rush, Pouncing).
Decay status effect (Necromancer/Kabbalist) boosts missile damage and Pistol shot (corsair) is missile damage.
Hypothetically speaking
Lethargy + Snatching on a flying boss is 200% bonus strike damage. Slithering + High Kick is another 200%. This is a lot of strike damage to a flying enemy if you had a Hunter and a Wizard in the party.
Zaciai (Krivis) - Reduces crit resistance and boosts crit attack. 2 hand sword attribute: crit attack (highlander) increases crit attack 50%.
Oh really? I hadn’t thought about them actually. Been thinking to much about the possibility of Shield Push making Stabbing a skill that could possibly perma knockdown.
@Delcas Is shard damage amplified by who hits it?
Trying to find some interesting synnergies with Clerics as well.
No its based off the Cyromancers magic attack and shards fly in the direction the Cyromancer is looking.
Rodelero C3 High Kick gives +Strike damage to targets, so I’d assume SR, Monks, Paladins, other Swordsman with many Strike abilities would benefit greatly from that debuff. I also hear it has 50% uptime which is really nice, but I can’t confirm because I’ve never seen a Rodelero C3
Highlander C3 has Skull Swing for -defense on a target. Good for AA builds or builds that do physical multi-hits a lot (lots of Archer classes).
Circling doubles spear throw damage.
Also forgot
Deprotected Zone : Sword attack
Weakened Defense gains stacks with sword attacks and then armor breaks at 10 stacks IIRC.
While a cleric could hypothetically proc this themself, a sword Auto attack generally is not part of the clerics main attack options particularly as they get more powerful skills.
