Swordsman Build

Faust is so OP.....

 

U get it from completing the brutal dragon main story quest. It gives 300mp. Im sure i already mentioned that.

Its good. I use BD if i feel like usin a 1h

 

i was just wonderin how much crit do you have? coz i have mine raise to 50 crit the rest is str. i have like 80+ Str.

With my combo Astute > Hard hit > Trigger Slash = 80-90% crit most of the time

 

Hi Faust. Thank you so much for your guide, I have followed all of it even the equips, I'm just wondering how did you get the combo? You have only 8 skills in your guide. I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance.

 

It's quite possible this wasn't his first character or build. Once you've unlocked the first two combo points every character you make after receives two initially. I don't know if your old character will receive it but I'd advise creating a new one and simply unlocking 10 different skills. Then delete it if you please.

 

Hi just want to ask what is smite and consecutive? Are those skills? How can i get those?

 

They are type of combo effects. Once you have unlocked combos, you are able to add effects to a combo (not including the first combo) using CP (combo points)

ie:

Hard Hit > Astute (Smite combo effect; increased damage but next combo uses more MP) > Trigger Slash

 

Trigger slash not really useful isnt it?

 

T

I'd say trigger slash is essential to any swordie.

 

Thank you^^

 

i have another question, should i go for light or heavy armor?

 

Depends on your build. Light is higher dps, lower defense. Heavy is higher defense, lower dps.

 

As a concerned player on sword aspd, i been doing some tests and shield mastery increase aspd by 6 or 7 while quick slashing increases by 12.

So its like this say you had 1000 aspd before shield, equipping shield you lose about 70ish aspd so somethin like this: 1000 - 70 = 930 aspd, and shield mastery will refil that gap but im he big scheme of things its just 70 aspd at lv 10, while quick slash is 120 for 10 skill points. So if ur going for more apsd i would still suggest getting quick slah and then shield mastery.

 

as

I've heard, shield reduce your ASPD by percentage. So the higher your ASPD, the more ASPD you lose. And That's when Shield Mastery is more effective than Quick Slash.
Also Quick Slash additional ASPD is constant (11ASPD/LV iirc) so it is more efficient to have Shield Mastery than Quick Slash if you have high ASPD and your skill points are limited.

 

Oh ho! Ic, i didnt know shield aspd reduction was by %!! Well good to know!! Thanks!

 

Hi! I'm kinda new to this game but I followed the full str + crt build.
I'm lvl45 with 500 ATK, 180 ASPD, 645 MP, 1832 HP.
I just want to ask what armor and gear should I use for 2H weapon? is light armor better for 2H? and where can I see the combos?
Currently using BD Armor, BD Cape, Sofys Talisman and Volcanic Sword (str, crt rate, crt rate% stat).

Thanks for the advice!

 

I've followed your build exact got my str to 101 and my crit to 34 at lvl 45 and I'm noticing I'm still not doing much damage in using the volcanic sword with 67atk and it doesn't have the neg crit and I do about 333-395 a hit sometimes I do 400 and when I crit it's typically 700 a hit but 333-395 a regular hit seems low due to the slow speed of a 2h dps even with the skill that raises speed cuz I maxed that it still takes forever to hit and people that have 2h build are saying they do more a hit than the 333-395 area is there a reason why I only do that much a hit or is that normal for a 2h str crit build?

 

Did you use the combos which @Faust has recommended?
Or are you just using normal attacks/single skills?

 

When I used the full combos I get 10k damage with all 3 skills sometimes more if I crit closer to 15k so that part is fine I'm just saying when I don't wanna use skills and just regular attack cuz I don't have unlimited mp my regular attacks do 333-395 range which seems kinda low compared to my lvl 24 brawler who does about 100 a hit and he's all agi so it seems like he would be a better dps.

 

Have you tried investing in trigger slash?
It can recover a ton of your MP in a hit,especially while bossing.I would suggest adding 5 points-6 points for it to have a noticeable effect.
