Sometimes defense is your best offense. If I can survive your rotation and fire back with my burst skillset I consider that more effective than the “whoever hits first wins” mentality that the glass cannon builds often run. Vote for Swaaz, make america great again.

EU server is really cute.
Alpha guild in particular really is, half their guild know I can tank them well so their catas always run the clock on me out of sheer desperation. Alpha guilds cata squad in particular were the ones that made me get shield lob just so I know I could fight anyone desperate enough to run down the clock for the entire fight
Could you share your build please? I was looking for one to reset my swordie ‘-’
Yea, I am sticking with the pelt3rode3murm1 path, still trying to decide which of the rode skills are worth maxing(there are so many). Any suggestions?
i can share my build, but its the most basic there is for murms. pelt3rode3. there are atleast 3 other murm builds that can better suit you for pve or pvp. my build is considered the most “balanced” for being both pve and pvp.
if “build” you mean skills, then again keep in mind choosing somebodys “build” over a discussion will always not be 100% ideal to your preferences. I myself have gone through many many different murmillo builds (i was a squire3 “main” for over 6 months) and after this combat update ive settled down again to what my preferences are.
elaborate more if you need more info.

heres my build after many many resets and experiments
have any questions for any specific skills i can reply
ALL rode skills that are lv1 are for a specific purpose (low damage and lv1 debuff from that skill has same duration as max level)
unfortunately before update, shield lob hit “2 times” plus the fact murmillo helmet boosts its damage it dealt the same damage as one scutum hit
after update, it was nerfed to only hit once (so theres 50% less damage) AND it also deals 50% less damage… so its basically useless now
thinking of getting lv1 shield lob just so i could have it, but with its damage being SOO LOW (max attribute murm helmet + lv50 attribute) i didnt bother getting it this time however i may regret it when fighting cancer catas who do nothing but run around in circles for 3 mins because they know they cant hit me. i ended up going with lv5 high guard to troll archers + melee more
got 6 points left shud go into shield push or shoving (both lv1 right now)
If you tested… My doubts about murmillo (mostly for PVE) with those paths that choose Hoplite/Shinobi/Corsair.
My test was using poor weapons(+7 Geras Spear) and shield but the damage from spear skills where high enough (18k Normal hit - crit 35k / and with spear lunge normal hit and 45-50k crit synchro thrusting skill Lv 15 atribute 50).
After that I managed to get a Pierene Sword, but the reset event ended 
How about the pelt3squire3murm build do you think it would still be viable in terms of pvp? (to have shop aswell and such) or with the new patch the build would be bad?
Lv 15 guardian really worth it? Those 55% defense, cause what kind of effect on the damage received? Because now we have that log calculation.
Edit: wtf is unbalance from shield push? - 15 def? ou menos 15%?
It’s hardly “unspoken” when all you do is advertise it and your videos in the forums and shout chat.

Making a sw2,pelt1,rod3, cor1,murm for pvp right now. What are the must have skills right now after the big patch? I really like the hook+keel that Corsair gives.
Can proc knockdown on target with each attack against it while debuff is active.
Basically lets you keep enemies grounded/cc’ed to the floor while you’re beating them up
shield push debuff does nothing assuming the combat update didnt change anything. its -15 def
small chance its 15% after update, doubt it though since imc doesnt know what theyre doing
up to you, the build i posted were the essentials. shield push will deal more damage. shield shoving has 2 uses and is faster, the build im using has enough points for max level shield push AND shield shoving (their damage is more than others)
hoplite was a decent choice especially if you get 15 guardian and 15 finestra, ultimate troll build 
55% defense is amazing, i see there being no reason to not get it. in terms of “viable in pvp” please watch my videos 
thats the point, raising awareness and getting those dank views. i dont see anyone else getting as many views as me so if youre implying negativity i dont see where i lose in the situation
look at the build i posted earlier and go from there, keel’s damage is alot more now but with keel you can only target 1 person. so its hard choice. just get what i got here as the essentials and go from there. i tested corsair during reset week and it should work

Hmm, seems I already goofed a bit and took lvl 5 Targe.
Edit: Ohh I see ur build has 6 points left over so all is not lost.
So you being full con, I see that you have problems missing or being blocked in your videos in pvp, are you using gems or something to achieve precision and block pen? What about that trinity sword + 3? Were you on some trans stage or not?
As for the nerfed shield lob, it’s a shame because the skill seemed fun.
targe smash is not considered a waste, mine is lv6. as you figured out the remaining points are considered “safe points” to not be required into a specific build and can go to anything you want
before the update, my main concern was accuracy when fighting against full dex archers. i compensated this by doing the following
- trinity sword (accuracy bonus)
- headpieces 1+2+3 with +accuracy
- gauntlet being the highest “anvil’d” equipment piece i used (used to give +accuracy on every anvil, mine was +8 at the time)
- use lv7 green gems on gautlet for additional +accuracy
after the update, block penetration is now more of a concern rather than accuracy. i now need to refocus on that so my current setup is not up to date
if you have any recommendations for +block penetration please let me know
shield lob was really fun to use and nobody used it. now its dead content… really depressing
none of my equips were transcended or considered “strong” before the update murmillo’s skill damage was very high so i did not need a strong weapon
im using a +10 pierene sword now after update
I see how it is, I guess it will be a little more difficult to balance accuracy and block penetration, from the top of my head I remember Glass Bracelet that gives 45 block penetration (prob you’re already using it). Yellow gems on gloves, what a shame that is the same slot as green that give accuracy.
Other than that, what cards are you using? Because another way is raw dex, ellaganos cards or items like terrarion, petamion or max pentamion.
i use terrallion and 8X minotaur cards
Will you be making more videos?
