The classes that I picked for this build are Swordsman > Highlander C2 > Barbarian C2 > Fencer, and this will mostly only work for CBT2 (because it is planned that the max level and ranks you can achieve this beta is 200 and 6 ranks).
At the Swordsman tree, I chose to max Thrust as it will help you early game with its 0s cooldown. It's quick, although has a really crappy AoE ratio, and you have to be mindful with your SP consumption when spamming this skill. Gung Ho and Concentration are self-explanatory. It gives you extra damage, who doesn't want that?
I picked Highlander at 2nd rank. Cartar Stroke has been buffed now to deal big numbers if you choose to rank it high (although in exchange of longer cast time if you are fully casting it), so Cartar Stroke it is for the first skill to be maxed. Wagon Slash is not worth it at all because it has no Overheat attribute and what it only does is just launching your enemies with crappy damage. Crown.. is just nope and Cross Guard is optional actually, some invest on it, some don't. Personally, I don't like it and not taking it.
At 3rd rank, I chose Highlander C2. With the addition of the new skills from the recent patches, Highlander now packs a pretty good skillset. Maxed Cartar Stroke is self-explanatory. Moulinet is a really good skill as it has an attribute to increase the Critical Chance of that skill for 10% per attribute level, on top the high damage. Sky Liner and Cross Cut are the two new skills you will get upon reaching C2. Max them for more damage.
At this point, you can actually choose either Highlander C3 or Barbarian C1. Highlander C3 will give you the almighty Skull Swing which is basically a debuff skill that will surely increase your damage output and another offensive skill that works wonder with Cross Cut and Sky Liner. But, I chose to become Barbarian because it has skills with much better damage and effects. Those said skills are Cleave and Helm Chopper. Cleave has a pretty high damage and increases your Critical Chance, while Helm Chopper has a probability to stun your enemies.
Next is Barbarian C2, for Frenzy and Warcry. Frenzy is a really great skill because it increases your attack power when you hit your opponent. It stacks per hit and you can stack it 10 times (which means an increased attack power of 150!). This was great back then, and it still is now even after the removal of Aggressor. I decided to remove Warcry because it has a really long cooldown with a really tiny defense debuff. Not worth it IMO. And last but not least is Seism. Like the other two offensive skills, it has high damage and can be used twice and can stun your opponent. No reason to not max this.
Now unto the last rank, Fencer! This class has just been added recently and it is packed with some glorious skills. The first skill that I wanna mention is Flaconnade which is basically your traditional 0s offensive skill. Good skill overall, nice damage and fast execution but has a really high SP consumption because it is spammable. Be mindful when using this skill! The other skills actually I haven't been able to find more information about them, so I cannot give you explanation about that.
And that is it folks! Thank you for visiting this build, and I hope this build can be useful for you!
