Tank Build/Why take anything past Pel2?

Class and Rank Swordsman

Atm.

YOu just need people not to run into them headfirst and let you go in.

You will aggro 11 of them.
But your aggro limit is 20~22 (natural aggro, they will atk you first. If they see you first). SB is usefull only on rank 1 already. More ranks will increase the max aggro limit and the targets of swashbuckling.

The ones outside of SB aggor, will be needed to aggro via your atk damage…

And for that floor 6, you need magic defense or other tactics. Tanking is pointless. As magic atks cant be blocked by normal blocks.

The best way would be safetywall + meltisis or invicble buff+ meltisis.

You could use revive on the tank, when he got his 3 seconds buff. Meltis him and benefit for 35 seconds.

As logn as he can hold the aggro off you and the others.
Or SW protecting you and the others partialy. It will work.

Great so my class will be unnecessary on the end-game content… yay!

Not really.

Peltasta 1~3 have it’s own advantages.
1 is enough for tanking.
2 gives a bit more block and more aggro
3 gives more dps, and some unsure skills “langort” still dunno what it does exactly xD.

There will be areas with more then 30 mobs altough ^^.

Pel is what makes most dungeon runs way smother~

You were saying… :cold_sweat:

#25

Tanking these is pointless.

JUST there xD.

At that floor.

You wont find 20 or 30 matk mob mages at one place so often xD.
You’re a physical tank, which can endure some skills too.
But not a matk tank ^^.

But matk aa isn’t blockable so you die in floor 6. Kiting would work. Aggro them, run around. And for that you would need pel 3 ^^.

Or you could tank them, if oen of the wiz is trauma and reduces all of the damage by 75%.

Situational~

Sorry, I had forgotten exactly what was said around it I just remember reading "Tanking is pointless’’ and went to quote that without re-reading the sentence.
Anyways, it wouldn’t have changed my build.
Once a tank always a tank. :smile:
In fact, the name for the class above was given to me by RNGesus via a random name selection on WoW for a paladin years ago.

#27

Read then quote ^^.

Hahaha.

Agreed that rank 3 Peltasta is…debatable.

However I think Pelt 2 / Rodelero 2 / Shinobi 1 may be the best late game tank for the following reasons, with 1 rank open.

Pelt 2 is obvious.

Rodelero 2 is for Slithering to dodge magic and Shinobi 1 for 20s of -20% damage on a 49s cd. via the Bunshin No Jutsu: Decreased Damage Attribute. Both are extendable with Melstis and are optimal to be shared via links.

Also Rodelero 2/3 for the striking buff granted from Slithering & High Kick. The filler rank could be many things, Pelt 3 for more Swash Buckling ,Rod 3 for High Kick, Fencer for many reasons, etc.

#29

Well, Rodelero would basically only be for slithering, if not for that one skill then you could take any other path and I still question if it dodging magic is just a bug or not… as in it might be fixed with any update.

Though the Shinobi’s clones seem good at first, they are dependent on DEX for they’re HP (I’ve never played one so I can’t say for sure) and would likely die very fast, worse case you cast it, the boss uses AoE, they’re all dead. (Also that Attribute isn’t on the builder anymore so it maybe got removed?)

Anyways, the point is I’m fine with mine since yours seems a little iffy in my opinion. (No offense?)

#30

You bring up some excellent points. If Slithering is not meant to block magic, and if the -20% incoming dmg attribute from Shinobi is either not in game anymore or insustainable due to the clones dying to easily…then my build falls apart :frowning:

Man that would suck so horribly if Rodelero 2 was taken then the best feature of the class removed in a later update… @___@

That’s normal for an unrealesed game. With unbalance ^.^~

Heck they changed archer classes and other classes so much. That some builds look stupid now xD.

Well, Magic isn’t suppose to be evade-able so it’s just weird that a skill that doesn’t even mention magic can completely negate it that way…
And I suppose there’s always another day, it’s not like you need to design all of your skills before the game releases/before you even get to the rank required for the skills we’re talking about.
