Will dragoon replace the tradisional pure tank after rank 8 given 100%melee damage debuff?

Where did you find this info? got me curious

Actually I always surf both forum, and looking for swordie news.
Ya I get this info from taiwan tos forum , they already test from lvl 1 - lvl 8 spear lunge, unfortunately they said in steam server , until lvl 10 only
no miss, damage no more increased.

It is written in chinese i wish someone chinese here can understand.

This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.

ya it is great, i decided to create 1 pure tank mumillo too after i done with my dragoon :smiley: The helmet looks cool :smiley:

This makes hop3 a viable choice for shinobi after R8 is released I assume, for hop2>cor2>shinobis.

ya… i start regret want a mount dun wan hop circle 3 … :scream: my stabbing can reach 18k per hit in under lvl 7 spear lunge debuff + flecher debuff in 240 dungeon …
254lvl dragoon :scream:

yeah boss can staggered too
and pierce bonus from Cross guard is better than spear lunge
random at 60%-100%
and no CD but must get hit 1st and block

sometimes my spear lunge no apply i think because it’s got resisted

i think fencer better for burst, coz prepartion 100%, pierce ignore and rank 8 crit attack modifier

yes taiwan forum declared that b4 lvl 8 spear lunge has chance to be resisted.

ya i remember i got lose few times to a fencer in burst dps too,

just dunno how he skill, because i am not so familiar with their skill.

Well, they benefit from your Spear Lunge, but you don’t benefit from their Preparation.

So while your Spear Lunge doubles both your damage, they get another double damage from Preparation.

I already have a pure tank ready to go Murmillo, high CON.
Pelt 3 > Rode 2 > Squire 1 > Murmillo

I think Pelt 3 is a must for ET. Too many monsters and Pelt 2 doesn’t grab all monsters on the screen sometimes.

Squire 1 to hold bosses in place so Elememe locks can put down their pole of agony + ground AOEs.

Which mean at rank 8 , dragoon 2 can let fencer damage *4 times during burst… And if add fencer damage in multiply calculation I state, will be more than 200 times amplify… Wtf …

Do u decide to add some damage becos of aggro 500% ?

I add damage so I can generate aggro through my damage skills, also so I can solo as well, even if it is slow.

Many times I see Pelt 3 Squire 3 full CON and cannot do any damage to maintain aggro at all. Also they cannot tank magic with Slithering - very important.

IYa beside of taunt tanker also need some damage to maintain aggro, I can’t go ET yet so dunno whats will happen if non full con tank go there lol, perhaps we need to invest 100 points in str :slight_smile: ?

It’s still a DPS that attempts to make up for its lower individual damage output by increasing the total damage output of the party on targets afflicted with its status.

You might try to combine that with a Peltasta C3, but your success with that is to be determined.

Why u need squire 1, is hoplite better for add 10% block rate so u can wear sage wall shield or Mage armor?-?

I have enough block already, don’t need Hoplite. Pelt 3 is better.
Squire can stop boss for 10 secs and slow boss afterwards. Also I can repair in dungeon if I need to, much cheaper too.
Trying to get Aias shield but too expensive…just using a lv 220 +3 white shield for now. Sage wall is not very good, Aias is much better because of the 8% chance to reduce damage by 50%. That’s why Aias is about double the price of Sage wall.

No need for cloth armor, I wear full plate. Sometimes physical attacks can still hit you no matter how high your block is, so having high physical defense is still good.

I use Slithering to tank magic anyway and run when it is on cooldown. Adding magic defense doesn’t help you with tanking magic a lot, maybe help reduce from 4400 -> 4000 damage per hit, you will still die without slithering.

Wait is the spear lunge level 8 srs or nah? Can you post some a video about you before and after spear lunge damage comparison?

I think it has potential, currently leveling this build:

Sword C1 -> Hoplite C2(or C1, depends on whether i want to pick up Squire or not) -> Rodelero C2 -> Dragoon C2

Should be great at bossing and partying in general, hopefully IMC will make more chalenging bosses.

why would anyone go fencer for tanking purposes when they can go redelero into murmilo.
