The Little Squire That Could... Actually Do Something

[Volpone]

so I was thinking of viable builds for squire for fun that just isn’t for stalls

I was feeling this

Sword3 basically the generic pvp kit/Stay in one place and Smack Kit

Pelt1, Need some pve use plus the kock down on umbo blow is really great along with the fact gaurdian is really good even at level 5(-5% physical attack is nothing for more defense and eva plus no gungho). Don’t forget 25% hp buffs. Plus all the Cguard buffs you actually get.

squire3 because well… its a squire build. Basically eat your food as much as possible, Arrest people for your team(unless they have blood letting), Make use of your extra sword slashes(probably hard to level this character up since its low base skills)

Murm1 essentially the start of what would be making the character viable.
Helmet is just good for tanking and if you want to make umbo blow stronger which is alright. Basically all of the skills are just high powered skills to carry you as much as possible.

My guess would lean towards a 1:1 con dex kind of ratio to really make use of how the high end skills will be really strong when crit, plus you’ll have the eva to dodge pretty well while the con to block people who went full dex.

I’m sorry to break this to you but pvping with a sword 3 squire 3 won’t be any fun…

At most you’ll Arrest people and then walk around doing nothing while they kill your teamates and you can’t do much about it. Needless to say, I can see your team mates getting pretty frustrated at you for you being in their team too (I do not support toxic behaviour, but it’s the sad truth).

Without any AoE multi-hit skill (cyclone, rush, etc) for pvm you won’t have anything reliable to use Restrain with. Pain Barrier 15 is nice but without high lvl Swash Buckling it means you’ll just provoke a few mobs while the rest wipes your party and you can’t do anything about it. You also won’t be able to keep mobs aggro on you in rank 8 content only using Swash Buckling.

If this is a pvp build, why the need for Squire 3? Squire 1 Corsair 1 would be much better for making people stuck (though Squire 1 for pvp is still weird)…

And for pvm the lack of Pelt 3 will make your tanker life a lot harder. It’s already hard enough with a Pelt 3 Squire 3…

But well, you’re saying this is a for fun build. Not sure if you wanted my opinion or not, but you posted it in the forums so I assume you want at least some comments about it.

I tried to make a character based on the premise “it includes Squire C3” as well, and actually also came up with Sword3-Pelt1-Squire3 XDD

(only difference, I got a lower Pain Barrier in exchange for minor pseudo-CC with Bash Lv3 atribute)

It looks pretty grim, but if you go for Squire3, I just don’t see how it would not be… the other build I was contemplating was HL3-Squire3…and of course the default Pelt3-Squire3 that’s like the only build you see on all the Squires in town.

The bigger question nagging me is what on earth would you even got at R8. Murmillo would be the usual PElt-improving build, but with just Pelt1?.. Lancer doesn’t seem fitting either… a late Shinobi and then hope for R9 to bring something standalone? XDD…

Murmillo Skills have great AoE. I think it’s the only non mounted Swordie that has that.
