Build Guide for Fighter
Hold right click to block. Right click twice after someone hits your block to riposte twice.
What Perks Work and Why?
Barricade
Provides +50 Armor Rating while blocking, lets you to tank one to two extra hits, invaluable for longsword which can be prone to missing parries. Riposting also counts as a special case where you are still blocking meaning barricade is active while you have that 187% multiplier!
Shield Mastery
Provides +50% action speed to your next action not next block allowing you to do your first riposte 50% faster. Makes you move 10% faster during block.
Counter Attack
Provides +10% action and movespeed for 3 seconds, makes your riposte 10% faster and makes you move 10% faster.
Sword Mastery
Provides 10 Movespeed while holding block and 5% action speed while holding a sword.
Perk Combinations:
Combo (my preference):
- Shield Mastery (Mandatory For Every Longsword Build).
- Sword Mastery (Extra action speed for faster stab recovery).
- Defense Mastery (PDR).
- Swift (Being faster).
Combo 2 (triple block perk build, fourth perk swappable):
- Counterattack / Sword Mastery.
- Shield Mastery.
- Barricade.
- Swift.
Secondary Options:
- Crossbow.
- Shield (For rushing in on ranged players, swap to sword when close up).
Armor
Any armor works but this is what I do:
- Crusader Helmet (For agility and dexterity).
- Grand Brigandine (For dexterity).
- Heavy Gauntlets (For dexterity and vigor).
- Heavy Leathers (Vigor).
- Rugged Boots (Vigor).
Skills
Sprint and second wind are the golden standard, but adrenaline rush is a candidate as well.
Stats
Action speed above all else, it will allow you to make better use of your skill in longsword by giving you a faster recovery on your stabs and for better zoning with your LONGsword. Ideally go for 20% action speed as a base, 15% if you have sword mastery on.
- Weapon Damage/Phys Damage/Phys Damage %/Armor Penetration%.
- AR / PDR.
- Health / Vigor.
- Move Speed / Agility.
I sincerely hope this was helpful. Good luck to you!
