So.
I wanna roll a Tanker, but i wonder if there are builds other than the “new classic” Pelt 2 - Rod 3 - Shinobi - Murmillo.
I understand that The Clones + Shooting star + Murmillo is what is up at the moment… but maybe there are some other … i Know some people Rolling Pelt 3 -Rod 3 - Millo.(brave burstless people).
Anyyyway… Should i follow the Meta or risk to try something… any ideas? Tnx.
well 100% of swordsman tank variations revolve around peltasta rodelero squire and murmilo, i am not sure what other tanking class there is for a swordsman class.
the shinobi murmilo build seems amazing to me, i am definitely going to build one when i finish my lancer.
I was working on a SW3, Rodelero C3, Shinobi before r8 was revealed.
Im not currently playing ToS but the idea was you could passively mitigate and control enough small engagements (and pvp) between restrain and Rodelero CC, plus I really like Pain Barrier 15.
Granted I wasn’t interested in tanking with Rodelero, but just locking things down behind a wall of CC.
I play tank solo sw1-pel1-hop1-rod1-rod2-rod3-hop2-…mur
beause: spear attack damage > sword Maybe slash sword damage more than spear but total …skill spear high damage > sword and rang width > sword
total spear > sword I select main spear and maybe sword

I believe you can also make a tanker with Pelt 2 -> Rode 2 -> Fencer 3 or Pelt 2 -> Rode 2 -> ??? -> Dragoon 2.
I’m also very interested in good variations of the default shinobi-murmillo tank combo. It looks awesome to burst bosses but pretty bad at mobbing due to clones multiplying the damage you take. Murmillos don’t seem to have good AoE on their attacks either (which is pretty important when mobbing).
There’s SW->PEL->HOP2->ROD3->MURMILLO
and I think SW2->HOP->ROD3->DRAG->MURMILLO would be an interesting combo also and add some decent damage
So does SW2->PEL->ROD3->DOP->MURMILLO which will help you with the AoE problem via Cyclone
