@Valkoria would you recommend the Lancer build over say Dragoon if you're looking for good single target/aoe to complete late game. Its my first character and haven't decided fully on the path, but torn between Dragoon and Lancer.

@Valkoria Is the swordsman c3 cataphract c3 Dragoon c3 build still good till date? cause I dont see any of this build anymore. I want to play both cataphract and Dragoon together, or is it not a good choice now?
Reply

@KaiKai cata3 new skill (not yet implemented) have good synergy with lancer (buff skill damage that must be mounted to use at the cost of more sp) right now, cata3 weak at pve and so so at pvp, they said restrain + rush are not as great as it used to be.... so most people did not go cata3

A weird question maybe, but what do the levels in the "Crush: Gear Destroy" attribute do? The describtion doesn't say and doesn't change...

Did you perhaps try out Goon C3? Would it be good alternative to going Lancer 2 when R9 comes out?

@Agnar I haven't been on ktest this time around, I'm going to try to get on to test out an Enchanter build this weekend. If I have time after I'm going to see how Lancer, Dragoon and a Zealot builds are.

From what I've read though, Dragoon 3 is looking fairly good and Lancer just got a really nice attribute for Quintain.

Can you use auto attacks while mounting? and are all Dragoon's skills usable while mounting?

About the cards, should I go for the glass mole?

@THICC Doggo Yes but I wouldnt invest much into too many cards, since cards are getting redesigned and you can only equip a 3 of them.

The build is for WB I assume? Can it compete against doppels, murms, and goons with the new WB?
Reply
Aug 7th 2017 19:56:14
@Tanzen Lancer deals incredible damage but unfortunately not nearly as much as Shinobi-Murmillo or Doppelsoeldners due to them scaling better with gear or having multi hit attacks that hit for the damage cap.

That's not to say you cant get rewards and high rankings as a Lancer but a geared Murm/Doppel will always outperform a geared Lancer.

Dragoons compete against nothing, it's one of the weakest of all the Swordsmen builds, anyone who tells you otherwise is making the class sound better than it is.

(Seriously, I'm not trying to shit on Dragoon, it's just an underwhelming class. Dragoon is one of my favorite builds to play).

@Valkoria Hi, could you please make a Fencer build? I have been trying to find a good solid Fencer build but it always feels like incomplete (for me at least) and you make great builds.
Btw I`m at level 232 on Dragoon and It`s amazing, thx!
Reply
Aug 7th 2017 23:53:56
@THICC Doggo Sorry I don't plan on making any more builds for a while until we get rank 9 or another reset event since I have no more character slots and don't care to buy any more.

I used to have a Fencer build but it was extremely outdated (like most seem to be), so I removed it.

@Valkoria
My party proves that wrong, did reset my catalancer to catagoon do WB, and my party with 2 catagoons as main DpS ranks in demon lord world boss most of the time in Varena. It can compete against trans 10 doppels and shinomurms.

Meanwhile, I have not seen any Lancer with any sort of build ranked WB in our server given all that burst thats why I was asking if it can compete. What is this build for again?

Reply
Aug 9th 2017 17:13:20
@Tanzen Look friend, it's mathematically impossible for a dragoon to do the same damage as a doppel or murmillonobi with equal gear (or even close to them), this is just a fact, BUT that doesn't mean you can't get a high ranking as 'insert build or group comp here' since its a group effort (also other factors like who gets there first).

I'm not trying to shit on Dragoons (it's one of my favorite classes to play) but it's just the fact that the numbers don't add up. Anyone can get high or number one rankings on a boss with a party assuming they perform well as a group.

Its known to many people that Dragoons are one of the classes that need buffs, there's a reason why it dropped from the most popular class to much lower rankings on BOTH itos and ktos since the combat update.

If you are someone who understands the game and has a character that's competing against trans 10 classes in world bosses you wouldn't be here asking what Lancer does and be arguing that their 'catagoon' out damages trans 10 doppel/shinobis.

I repeat, I'm not trying to shit on Dragoons, but there's no way a Dragoon is out dpsing trans 10 shinobis and murmillos, please don't spread misinformation to new players who are looking for accurate information on tosbase.


But to answer your strawman burning question: Lancer is for any content you wish to bring it too. It can do dungeons, earth tower/solmiki and world bosses with relative ease, but note that anything a Lancer can do in certain content another class can do better in it if built specifically for it.

@Valkoria

I'm not misleading new players, because I have given a fact and from actual experience in Demon Lord World Bossing.

I already stated that our party with catagoons as main dps have proven that "dragoon can compete and out-dps meta boss builds " which proves your statement wrong that "dragoons compete against nothing", but meanwhile this build looks like its for bossing yet all geared hoplitelancer in our server can't rank.

You got mad by being disproven? because you sounded burned out-right. lmao

I am not saying dragoon is better against this meta WB builds but at least it can compete which you claimed it dragoons can't.

I'll return your words to you:

@Tanzen Someone has poor reading comprehension...

@Tanzen I really suggest going back and reading what I wrote in my 2nd post before being salty over nothing. No need to be condescending or angry in every post you make, there's a reason why Cataphracts and Dragoons are getting constant buffs and adjustments on ktest, please look forward to it!

I'd go into heavy detail on how Murmillos and Doppels deal a massive difference in damage compared to other swordsmen builds but I don't have the energy to waste on someone who thinks skills like Doom Spike (960%, before debuff multipliers) can compete against Shield Bash (1937%x1, 775x5 Shadow Clones, before debuff multipliers).

But hey, grats on getting cubes from a world boss on a server where a couple dozen players showed up.

Please don't bother coming back, not going to respond to someone who came here with no intention of looking for help or guidance.

To those who may be interested in a Dragoon build for world bossing, I'll repeat what I said on my previous post: '... doesn't mean you can't get a high ranking as 'insert build or group comp here' since its a group effort (also other factors like who gets there first).'

why does every dragoon that invests so much time into their character have an attitude and always seem to have something to prove about their build.

just to educate a few people since valkoria didnt word a few things very well some places and tanzen is a twat that cant read and is extremely over exaggerating about his crappy class.

dragoons are really weak compared to some other swordsmen classes.. LIKE REALLY REALLY WEAK! but that doesnt mean they cant do everything the game has to offer though, I mean anyone can do world bosses and get a cube or clear solmiki, ive cleared up to solmiki 10 on a my squire and got demon lord cubes, does that mean squire can compete to a equally geared and skilled doppelsoeldner? hell no lol.

just look at class rankings on korea tree of savior and ours, dragoon is one of the least popular of the dps swordsmen classes, its that way for a reason.

also there is this link as a general consensus of what classes need buffs, link below.

I guess the few hundred people voting are just wrong and tanzens build is really really good! HAHAHA what a JOKE. Wanna know what makes something meta? it being significantly better than others, damn stupid varena player, go back to your dead server.

lol, I'm not angry I was just asking a simple question and while answering so you have stated a wrong fact so I said It's wrong.

"Dragoons compete against nothing, it's one of the weakest of all the Swordsmen builds, anyone who tells you otherwise is making the class sound better than it is. " - Valkoria

"But hey, grats on getting cubes from a world boss on a server where a couple dozen players showed up. "

When I have shown you a proof already, you'd gone shit ape already. Also, our server are active in WB there's like 20 trans 10 carries each WB channels even crash.

"dragoons are really weak compared to some other swordsmen classes.. LIKE REALLY REALLY WEAK! but that doesnt mean they cant do everything the game has to offer though, I mean anyone can do world bosses and get a cube or clear solmiki, ive cleared up to solmiki 10 on a my squire and got demon lord cubes, does that mean squire can compete to a equally geared and skilled doppelsoeldner? hell no lol." -Sakamoto

I didn't say dragoon is stronger than other class I only stated that it can compete as a CARRY not a LEECH like your squire.

TO ALL NEW GUYS HERE THESE GUYS ARE KEYBOARD WARRIORS AND THEORYCRAFTERS AND GETS TRIGGERED WHEN DISPROVEN JUST READ READ THE DRAMA FROM MY REPLY AND YOU DECIDE HAHA

I have been following this guide since I started and made this build as main, with purple leather set and +11 stage 10 RHP. To all my attempts, so far I haven't ranked any WB yet but I really like the build and its really fun.

@Tanzen

Learn to quote the right people, unless you really do have terrible reading comprehension.

pretty sure you are cherry picking responses and not listening to the what is actually explained, like how a build can get high rankings but not be a meta build but will require harder work, but hey I guess that's too difficult for some people to understand.

But anyways, don't listen to anyone here, how about go to the official forums or ktos forums and read what everyone has to say instead of some random person from a garbage server on tosbase (which is one of the worst places for information btw).

Interesting enough in some of those threads you will see Tanzen admits that Dragoons damage isn't very great, and even after several buffs on the ktest its still a joke compared to how Murmillos gain crazy damage just for putting on a helmet.

So which is it bro? Dragoons are great world bossers or not? They can deal nearly the same damage as a Murmillo with equal gear and skill???

Pretty sure you just came here to shit on a build you don't agree with, like seriously how can someone with full solmiki not know about Lancer. Oh wait did you mention to everyone that you have the best gear in the game that only a handful of people own that takes months to get to compete against people who can get the same rankings with 5x less investment???

What a damn joke.

@ICEDCOKE Don't listen to Tanzen, the guys an eliteist with the best gear in the game that carries his lack of high potency attacks.

I promise you if you are looking for world bossing build Dragoons or Lancers are not the greatest options unless you want to invest a ton of time gear for the same results as some other builds.

But yeah Lancers and Dragoons are really fun builds, I just wish they were a little stronger.

@Tanzen Sigh, look, I'm not going to argue with you anymore, I'm not as invested into this argument and game as you are. Sorry I offended you and good luck with your build, though I'm not entirely sure how someone as knowledgeable and geared as you are have to gain by coming here and asking the purpose of a build.

Take care.

Hi, I´m following this builds because I would like to have a character who uses a lance, but I´m new to the game. How do you mount something and what is the main porpuse of this build?
Reply
Jul 15th 2017 12:28:20
@Rishi I use a controller and an addon that makes mounting really easy. I think with a Keyboard its Alt + Up while you are near it to mount (make sure you have Riding learned to be able to fight while riding).

The purpose of the build is to deal damage, its a pve dps build.

@Rishi Really it doesnt matter much... the differences are very minor. The Green Penguin they gave everyone is fairly good, if you don't have that (because your account is brand new) then any of the Premium Mounts are best, then the Hoglan.

Hey thanks for the great build! I just started and it's my first character(currently lv150) and I am aiming for Lancer and I have a few questions after reading a few build guides
1) what's your take on swapping s3 for doppel just for deeds of valor just for dmg? might be a stupid question I don't know much about this game
2) do you have a recommended skill rotation/ combo for maximum dmg output?
Thanks again!

Jul 6th 2017 13:23:34
@junlin1992 Sword3 is actually quite good, the damage you get from Gung Ho is quite significant and Pain Barrier being extremely high uptime is important as well, I don't think it's worth the trade off for Deeds of Valor.

Jul 6th 2017 17:22:27
@Valkoria thanks for the reply! I totally forgot to take into account that you can get higher level of gunho and concentration. Also having run through some dungeons, I can really feel the frustration for not having long duration of pain barrier... Thanks again!

@Valkoria why 9 points in spear lunge? isn't it just for the pierce debuff? wouldnt be better to invest more points in pierce?

thanks
Reply
Jun 27th 2017 17:18:14
@Leozera No, Pierce isn't very good anymore. Pierce is less damage per minute than Lunge even on bosses. It used to be the case where Lunge was solely for it's debuff but now it actually is a good skill for damage too.
