So I was told I’d be walking into hell if I went with this build. But the theme I want is to be like a shield knight/hero like Iwatani Naofumi.
Here’s the build:
Thoughts? You know aside from the “Why would you do this?” sort of thing.
I think there is nothing wrong with the build aslong you have the Peltasta. You can never go wrong if you are a swordie 
Well I mean it’s great for a tank, it’s not horrid by any means. May I suggest a circle or two of Fencer though for some evasion (two skills at just level 5 can give you 100% evasion with a low cool down) and some damage? Maybe something like:
Perhaps you could take one Pelt, x3 Rodelero.
Hmmm. I could see it but the build focused alot on Shield Charge while Rodelero. I remember the issue why it was a turn off was because the speed was too slow and damage was meh. Although I keep hearing it but what is with fencer and dodge mechanic? I don’t see anything in it’s skills or attributes that makes it a good dodger. Unless you mean Pelt 1’s Guardian’s Attribute and pump dex.
Basically yep, you’d pump DEX, CON as well since you’re a tank. Take a look at Lunge and Esquive Toucher. With each level, it adds 10% evasion, while also doing some nice damage, particularly Lunge + any slash skill, which I suppose if you went this build your slash skill would be Flannocade. In a way that works well for you as Flannocade is a no cool down block skill. Most people leave it at 1 because damage wise it’s not that great and it increases the SP consumption, but if you wanted some damage to go along with chaining Lunge it would be good at 5. Preparation is a great block skill too, most people taking 1 which is a 55% block increase.
Esquive Toucher is not that great though because of the animation being a bit slow, and if you took Circle 2 Fencer, maxing Lunge is 100% on its own.
Your build is fine, if you want to maximize your damage try to party with a monk in dungeons and missions. Rodelero and Monk synergy is underestimated.
All i can say with ur build is…HI CAPTAIN AMERICA !
This class is viable, the way the game works atm, there is no advantage in grinding any level solo. All main grinding levels are highly preferred in groups, quest missions like killing bosses or farming some drops is not a hassle as long as you spam skills and keep your weapons up to date in enhancements and such.

Well looking at the options I considered I can add squire in just for arrest because a 10 second stun that works on bosses is quite tempting.
Here’s the revised tree:
Although not sure if losing Max Shield Lob Umbor thrust and butterfly will affect the build. Currently C2 Peltasta. More opinions if ever.
If ur playing fencer i suggest u buy a good raiper for boss fights and many cheap white highest dmg raiper you can get for grind and dgn runs.
Heard raiper durability breaks way more easy than anything else
2 good rapiers and you’re set. Perhaps 3, if you’re down for the investment.
