Two-Handed wielding build

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

I’m planning on doing Sw-High3-?-Doppel2

What do you think would be a better filler for Rank 5? (Please don’t offer Peltasta. I don’t care much about meta. I have already experienced 230+ content [Templar with Pelt] so I already have an idea what’s in store for me.)

I’m contemplating between the ff :

  • Corsair (for JR, Hook and KH but I’m more interested in JR for Pillaging)
  • Barb (filler class/skills I guess? just so that I could fill out that Rank 5 slot)
  • Squire (same reason with Barb)
  • Hoplite (mainly only for Pierce and Stabbing, I was thinking of the synergy between Cross Guard and the two mentioned skills. oh and I don’t like weapon swapping. I just don’t. lel. Just so I could get access to all three damage types.)

Barb is perfect when ktos buffs come
Corsair otherwise

Was going to suggest pelt if you’re going for a high dex build but I guess not

#3

For the 50% slash buff from Cleave right? Was thinking the same thing.

I really hated Pelt. I’m regretting I took the class for my Templar. And I’m planning on going high str. With a decent amount of dex and con for survivability.

#4

So Hoplite for just Pierce and Stabbing is meh?

#5

it’s not bad but IMO you won’t have enough window to use them properly with pain barrier, considering you need pain barrier for:

Cyclone, Moulinet.

Assuming we do get ktos barb buffs, that’s 3 charges of 50% slash debuff
You got all those slashes on HL and Doppel 2 which makes hoplite skills irrelevant

#6

I’ll have to agree on that. I could pull all the combos from Doppel2 + Bleed Skyliner. Only thing that is stopping me from getting a Barb right now is because we don’t have assurance on getting the buffs. Barb1 will be useless without the buffs, I’d rather go Corsair/Hoplite instead.

Thanks for the insight.

not sure if you are highlander 3 yet

but if not high3 yet i suggest to go high c2 only since for me high c3 didn’t offer much (only more dmg for skyline and armor break)

better go corsair2 or barb2 is better in my opinion

but OTP with your build i will choose barb for 50% slash

#8

bar is not useless actually. you can always use cleave before every combo you use to get +50 crit rate. 1 cleave enough for 1 cyclone

#9

DWA for me is too useless. Only skills I’d get from Corsair2 are JR and Hexen Dropper, and I won’t have any skills to buff Hexen (though I’d really love to have JR for pillaging :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:)

I think I’d have better damage with High3 than High2 + Barb2. Stun + Cleave good only for mobs. Atleast with bleed + skyline, I’d have better damage for bleedable bosses. Plus with the IMC’s announcement, I’m really hoping for the 0 cd skyliner. Be a good filler when my Doppel2 skills are on cd.

But yeah I’m probably going atleast Barb1 for the crit rate and slash buff. Thanks! :slight_smile:

#10

tbh, I totally forgot about the crit rate buff so yeah, I’m probably better off going at least Barb1.
