well here’s a “better” way to use your points in skills
the extra bonus health of the cata isn’t that big is only 25% of a pet that had like 7k of hp, it’s like 2k more of hp costing you a more defensive rotation, hoplite add crit rate and block rate, with lunge not only increase your dmg but all of the people arround you, lvl 1 is enough (it doesn’t increase the debuff duration but has 2 overheats), long stride for a gap closer lvl 1 is good, syncro will be one of your weapons for dealing dmg until you hit dragoon, plus finestra add a x3 aoe increase, rodelero can help you not only for tanking in pve but be quite useful for pvp with shield charge and slithering (slithering add a 10second debuff that increase in 100% strike dmg), mixing stats with shield bash and add more knockback with shield push, montano add slow and a low duration stun, guardian lvl4 is more usefull because you will be pressing the button less xD but is better than rim blow, if you trully want more aoe, then you could ditch rodelero and pick doppel with another class just for cyclone (its pretty good aoe but that’s depend on you).
