A Hero's Simple Plan

Thrust 0 Very slow animation and not a single build i can think of is this skill taken but 1 point in this skill won't hurt you simply used to have your clones get close enough for the rest of our skills to line up

Bash 5 Should you choose 1 point in this is more than enough simply used for the knockdown yes clones can copy this but let's not forget the skill is very very very weak

Gung Ho 10 Honestly this skill is weak last 4 minutes at any rank flat damage boost and a flat defense drop

Concentrate 0 Another skill that's weak and is no different than Gung Ho Just instead of a long duration you have a fixed amount of hits and a duration to get hits out this skill has seen better days

Pain Barrier 10 24seconds of high immunity to most Debuffs so realistically you got about 20 seconds to make use of this skill it has a quite lengthy CD of 39seconds compared to it's duration

Restrain 5 So at the cost of your max Hp for the duration of the skill and it gives a stun with each attack for about 1 second stun at chance of 30% but after the stun you give a slow Debuff that last around 12 seconds we want the slow not so much the stun mainly you can't stun a Boss and the duration is 1 second

Pommel Beat 0 This skill can be copied by your clones it does more damage to targets affected by stun and a 3% armor ignore on small and medium targets we take this skill if we didn't have any better skills at later ranks

Why no Swordsman 3 Where o where to start about how bad this would be of an investment You take more point's into Gung Ho which would give you according to the simulator 39 physical damage and - 19 Psychical defense yea that's a bummer still 4 minutes at any rank

So say you decided to go Concentrate you get 80 hits with +26 damage Fun fact Pain Barrier the max time you get is 34 seconds just 5 seconds from 100% up time this is with the attribute was this worth no but we don't stop there next up on the list is Restrain you get 60% stun rate that last a second and it last for a whopping 60seconds compared to a 120seconds CD

And finally Double Slash So this another skill our clones can copy and has nice Crt rate but it has 304% skill damage which is almost as sad as going Fletcher 3 fun fact regarding that class 5/6 skills at 15 points invested that don't get close to 500%skill damage So what i'm saying is yes you can copy the skill but it does no damage and now there are even more skills you can copy that do almost 2-5 times that amount damage and save you time and you now have one less skill you have to use or find a spot to use it

Embowel 0 I personally really like this skill quite flashy but a nice form hard CC the problem is really slow animation and after you done the skill and kick said target away you get stuck there for like a second or 2 but you can't do anything perhaps starstruck by how cool you just looked doing that and not even a jump animation cancel will prevent this starstruck moment

Stomping Kick 0 Ok sooo you need to jump and then press the skill that's it weirdly it does have a pretty powerful kick to but sadly it has an AOE of 1 the way the skill looks shouldn't like have more?? i mean if there was an attribute for stun more targets but nothing sadly also you get this clunky animation and you have that weird delay like with Embowel

Cleave 15 Alright this is a nice skill it gives a Debuff lasting 5 Seconds that makes the target receive more damage from slash attacks and does more damage to a stunted target increase your own Crt rate for 5seconds it can be copied by your clones and it's really good because all the skills we take are Slash ( Except Thrust(If taken) Kunai ,Punish , and Gaint Swing ( If taken )

Helm Chopper 0 Ok so basically a stun it hits twice that's it nothing good or bad about it just....lack luster

Warcry 10 Nothing to fancy about this skill Max targets you can affect with this Debuff is 10 and for every target you hit it gives 40 Attack (400Attack total) now the Debuff also reduces Defense max 10% on all the targets but the main reason we want this skill is for it's attributes honestly you are limited to using this skill unless you are surrounded by monsters because you don't gain the extra Attack as much sure it' helps with Bosses but you gotta stop use the skill then use the other skills it's like sometimes you rather not because you're not getting the most out of it

Frenzy 10 Gain attack speed so as long as you keep hitting the same target you get about 250 increase you get 20 stacks without the attribute but if you hit another target you lose your stacks but with the attribute you can hit different targets but only 10 stacks max and it has 100% up time and saves us from heavily investing to Dex

Seism 1 Basically a weaker version of Helm Chopper in terms of skill damage scaling does the same thing but this hits 3 times instead of 2 and has a slightly bigger hit box and this skill can be copied by our clones

Giant Swing ? ( Up to you to Take) This is a single target skill shot doesn't work on Bosses you can't move during the spin animation or determine which way the target will be sent flying and you will always spin for 9 times also you get this weird stutter animation of you trying to regain your balance kinda cute actually of course after naming all these negatives why would you take this skill for PvP it's a hard CC nothing will free target till they are sent flying or you die and you might wif the skill shot but there's no draw back if you do just goes on CD and we all pretend it never happened no wif animation either if you choose to not take this the rest of the points can go into Seism or any other skill

Pouncing 5 Our version of Running Shot for Archers Basically you hold down the skill and move and you hack n slash away has lots and lots of Knockdowns at 40% per hit and you hit twice every second and once every half a second so on paper you have 20 hits of Knockdowns and works well it Restrain Get's the stun and mostly the slow on the targets we just ran through ( Can't be Sprinting/Running and using this at the same time you won't swing you must be moving normally )

Wild Nature This an attribute you unlock at rank 3 Barbarian what it does is make all your Barbarian skills do more damage as long as you run around for a bit and keep your stacks up

Doppelsoeldner 3

Punish 1 Well we take a point in this skill solely for it's attribute whenever you knockdown an enemy and use this skill with the attribute it gives it a massive AOE

Deeds of Valor 15 The main reason you ever want to go Doppel you 33% increased damage but take 19%increased damage for the duration of buff this will be kept at a 100%up time to maximize your damage so keep in mine all damage will hurt even more on YOU included

Mordschlag 7 This skill can be copied by our clones and is pretty much a free Crt on Cloth-Armored targets

Double Pay Earn 0 Ok this is how the skill works for every point invested into the skills gives you 1 more attack limit if you kill said target with now doing 3xtimes it's original damage too you get Double Exp And Loot/Drop Items but if you die you lose even more durability than normal but this only affects 1 Target with limited hits a very situational skill but even putting a few points where and to when or even why would this be something you use

Cyclone 0 So basically self-explanatory you spin around and do damage with attributes you can move around an use this skill and 15% chance to prevent harmful effects We don't take this skill because we have something better suited Which is Pouncing One it has knockdown which is a CC and a strong one at that because you can keep reapplying it over an over again but Cyclone only offers damage which we could easily do with one or two other skills not locking us in some animation or require us to put us right on the target in question and you are faster with Pouncing it's a nice skill but just only good if you choose to only go Doppel 1

Zornhau 6 This skill puts the target in a state of Shock hitting 4 times with the attribute

Zucken 6 This skill does more damage to enemies afflicted with Shock and with the attribute we get more damage

Redel 0 This is another skill that's quite nice but we don't take it due to the lack of skill points and also has an attribute that adds more damage

Note Now this is why no one ever runs Doppel 2 simply because of the attribute requirement's for the these skills Redel, Zucken, & Zornhau They all require 6 points to be invested into and no skill gem exist to make then meet the requirements so you are forced to choose which one's to take we Go Zornhau it hit's the hardest which made it a easy pick and we take Zucken simply it does more damage to Shock afflicted targets which Zornhau gives none of these skills can be copied

Zwerchhau 5 This is another nice skil and works the same as Cleave but we only get the extra Slash damage if the target in question doesn't have Plate-Armor type but the Debuff last 6.5 Seconds which isn't that much longer than Cleave Debuff duration but this can also be copied by our clones

Sturtzhau 5 This skill ignores 20% defense of the target and can be copied by our clones hit's 6times and that's pretty much it a good skill

Shinobi

Now this will be very very different from the previous segments regarding on how and to why we choose these skills this will be looked at as whole this class is a damage multiplier each clone does 50% of your damage from the skill Bunshin no Jutsu now this skill can be charged to Level 6 with Divine Might but other than another clone we can't quite tell what it does as far as damage or duration wise so realistically it's a 2.5-(3.5 in theory if the skill gem is added to the game/found and you have a Divine Might at the time) multiplier now the cast gauge is about 3-4 seconds seems short but is a bit long if you need to quickly get out the DPS to past the DPS check so the idea time to use it is for killing a boss not for simple clears of rooms because well you got less than 30 seconds to dish-out your burst

Dispite us being able to copy a large range of skills you still have a tiny tiny tiny time frame to get clones in position and go through all the skills even if you use a skill that's not copy-able they still might not all move in range for each clone to connect with said skill in question that can be copied so to make use of the other skills they now become utility skills and fillers for CDs

Kunai Used to clear multiple mobs and save SP

Mokuton no Jutsu This a free Anti-Damage this a buff if anything hit's while it is up you jump up and land on what hit you this is a first come first server bases so think twice when you use it be it engage or disengage but tis a weird weird weird weird animation and keeps you standing for a little while you can't move for a few seconds 2tops

Now regarding the other skills it's very weird Katon no Jutsu even with it being copy-able via clones it's best used as disengage from the attribute of adding stealth same for Mijin no Jutsu but this requires you to use them at the very end of the clone duration

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS keep in mind you have less than 30 Seconds to get as much damage possible while your clones last i can't emphasize that enough you'll do plenty damage without them but your max DPS is only when there out USE it WISELY make EVERY HIT COUNT

None of the skills we take scale off Dex and you assume go for the Attack speed but that caps out and you see no impact to attack speed unless it's adding Dex in intervals of 50 not only does it cap out but it is also affected by your Ping and FPS we can stop at 120-150 Dex and the rest will go to Str With some luck you can go even less depending on the stats you get on your Gear but the best way to distribute points is not by some weird ratio or some here an some there all the basic stat points you acquire for distribution should all be funneled into one thing and the other stats should like DEX for Attack-Speed or SPR for SP or CON for more HP should come from your gear rolls or Boss Cards

Red
For the Weapon Adds more Damage And can be placed on the TOP/Bottom small amount of Extra Hp

Green
Crt Rate Maybe 1-2 In the main weapon Or in the TOP/Bottom for Crt resistance so if you can negate a few Crts means less damage you take from an attack

Skill Gems
This is a hard one Most of our skills we want a skill for are our buffs We have 7 buffs in this build we won't use restrain all that much but a good deal in PvP i'll list them in the order you want to get them in that will have most impact but drop rates are in the % now not Drops Per Kill (DPK) So might be a while to get them

Bunshin no Jutsu ( As Far as the Adventure Journal Goes It Doesn't Exist outside of Divine Might )
Even in game you can't actually see what Level 6 version of the skill will do far as scaling for the skill but you can charge it past 5

Deeds of Valor ( As Far as the Adventure Journal Goes It Doesn't Exist outside of Divine Might )
More Damage the good and the bad

Frenzy
Raise the max stack count to 22 Attack speed goes up to 260 and adds 2 more seconds to the over all duration

Kunai ( As Far as the Adventure Journal Goes It Doesn't Exist outside of Divine Might )
198% damage and each clone throws out 5 of these with high Crt Chance

Warcry
Adds 44 attack per target no duration increase or anything else

Sturtzhau ( As Far as the Adventure Journal Goes It Doesn't Exist outside of Divine Might )
More Damage

Zwerchhau ( As Far as the Adventure Journal Goes It Doesn't Exist outside of Divine Might )
More Damage

Pouncing
More Damage

Yellow
Block Penetration or Crt Attack yes block is something too look for with the changes any build using a shield will now meet you in PvP and it will be something that's invested into because it now adds a bit more to attack along with giving defense below is the base for damage factoring which also is affected by Basic item stats, enhancement, transcendence and armor maintenance will all apply to your subweapon’s values

Armor

Now in regards to armor i've no idea you could literally just go naked with no arm what soever and as long as you don't face tank anything or forget how certain monster/Boss mechanics work you'll be fine (Not Counting PvP You need Armor for that )there are lot's of armor choices you could go but lets be honest Tree Of Savoir ISN'T doing all that well in terms of Player Base so no one is really farming all the armor from low levels to the end game and if anyone is and they sell it on Market it's probably way way out of the price range you can skip armor and use the story-line armor till you can go into your first Hunting grounds and just upgrade armor from there every so often If I know i'm not going to sit and farm bosses or camp some mob for some %chance at a drop I won't send you out there to do something i wouldn't if you feeling adventurous you can always reference the link posted previously to find specific gear you can reuse for later builds be it Warrior Archer Wizard or Cleric if it's something you see yourself never reusing it again or don't plan on making builds if the armor in question is Class specific then it's 9/10 not worth getting
