Rank 10: https://tos-th.com/skill-simulator.html#1134439fffi.253555.153a4a65.1a283a4171.1555.1821354f5a7581.152545
This is a slightly different path to some other guides out there, we take Retiarius instead of Shinobi, with some testing I felt like having Trident Finish was more damage over time and having the extra utility from the two Rete skills for large packs of monsters was very helpful.
Shinobi instead is still a fine choice if you find you like the theme or combo mechanics it provides, if so, I suggest checking out one of the other guides out there for better info on it.

Rating of Class 1-10 (my opinion):
Single Target: 7
Area of Effect: 7.5
Durability: 8.5
Solo: 7.5
Team: 7.5
Pros:
- Very tanky
- High block chance
- Starts off effective with low investment
- Low cooldown skills
Cons:
- Not very exciting at low levels
- Doesn't scale as well as some other swordsman builds
Other:
Pretty much just a jack-of-all-trades but master-of-none type of build.
Stat Distribution:
100+ Con (See Below), This stat will greatly increase your survivability since it increases your Health, Health Regeneration, Health restored from Potions, and Block Rate.
Remaining into STR.
You will need to invest in high Con for content like Velcoffer, Demon Lord World Bosses, or Soloing CM (Around 90,000k Hp with Guardian Buff will make you feel pretty invincible, which is around 300 Con, counting items).
However if you don't plan on doing such content you won't need as much Con (Around 70,000 Hp, which is around 190 Con, counting items).
Dex doesn't really offer anything to the build other than the critical attack and block penetration the stat itself gives, which you can solve any block problems from gear alone.
Skill Distribution:
You will notice that some circles don't have 15 points invested, that's because you can save points from the same class and invest them in the next circle.
Important Attributes to level asap:
Peltasta - Shield Guard
Peltasta - Guard: Defense
Peltasta - Shield Mastery: Block
Peltasta - Swash Buckling: Focused Defense
Peltasta - Guardian: Reduce Damage
Peltasta - Umbo Blow: Stun
Peltasta - High Guard: Umbo Blow Speciality
Use One-handed Spears (Use a 1H spear from this point on).
Hoplite - Finestra: Splash
Hoplite - Synchro Thrusting: Pierce
Hoplite - Pierce: Continuous Attack
Hoplite - Pierce: Repeated Shock
Doppelsoeldner - Cyclone: Movement
Dragoon - Serpentine: Additional Damage
Dragoon - Dragon Soar: Shock
Dragoon - Dragon Soar: Ascension
Dragoon - Dethrone: Remove Knockdown
Dragoon - Gae Bulg: Attack Zone
Dragoon - Gae Bulg: Defense Zone
Dragoon - Gae Bulg: Retrieve
Dragoon: Courage (Expensive, but very important).
Equipment / Core Items / Cards:
Investing in a good Shield and enhancing it is still important to your overall survivability, but your spear takes priority for investment of course.
Leather armor if you don't mind sacrificing defenses for some bonus crit, or can get your hands on some Solmiki leather.
Otherwise Plate for more Pdef.
Red Card: Glass Mole Lv10 x3 (+30% Physical Attack for 6 seconds after consuming an Sp Potion)
Blue Card: Nuaele Lv10 x3 (+30% Magic Defense)
Green Card: Ellaganos Lv10 x3 (+30 Dex)
Purple Card: Gazing Golem Lv5-10 x3 (15-30% chance to gain Pain Barrier when hit) Still useful even on a swordsman.

after Peltast, for some reason, I can only choose Highlander
What do you mean about masteries? are you talking about attributes that you learn from your class masters? If so, I'll get them updated tomorrow so you have that at least.
If you have any questions feel free to ask anytime, take care.
*my server still r9 up to onmyo reitari
You could replace Doppel with it, I'm sure in the end they are both fairly close in damage either way.
+13% Damage on everything from deeds of valor (also you gain Cyclone) or 50% damage on just Dragon Soar.
i believe between dov buff and crit cleave buff both do fairly similar good for damage at the end,
Anyways, sorry I can't help you too much in that regard, maybe there's another guide out there that have better answers for you, you can try out the official forums and ask there too, some people are very helpful there.
Guardian isn't just awesome, its flat out broken overpowered. It allows you to face tank Velcoffer and world bosses that hit extremely hard, with just fair gear instead of crazy enhanced and transcended gear. THEN there's the extra damage reduction for 10 seconds when using Swashbuckling too!
+100% def/mdef and 20% damage reduction with pretty much 100% up-time is so busted it actually completely blows my mind. I don't even know what the devs were thinking when they redesigned Peltasta.
Of course, you can go what you want, and play how you want, I'm not telling you what you should or shouldn't go, I'm just explaining what is best for you in most scenarios and I see is best numerically. If anything I'd suggest giving up Doppel over Peltasta 2 if you are really adamant about going Hop3.
Also if possible any suggestions on gems and cards? And certain stats that you favor on gear? Thanks.
I have to ask... What happened to the old Hoplite/Lancer build? :( Is it completely dead or unviable now?
Sorry, returning player here and that's the build I've followed on my Lancer and I truly enjoy it!
Maybe someone else has made a new one in its place to fill the void, I know the class is still really fun, and I'm pretty sure that Cataphract is getting some buffs in the future too which would make the build even better.
