Introduction to Catapract
 |
Cataphract is a cavalry class which is specialized in breaking through a group of monsters or barriers.
Its attacks can reach long ranges and it is useful in facing multiple enemies. When Cataphract is mounted, its attacks become stronger. It can use skills while it is moving which is very unique for Swordsman type classes.
The Build
Most catapract out there goes for Swordsman C2 or go directly to Catapract at Rank 4. Going for C2 Swwordsman only gives you more levels on your basic buffs which is not really necessary considering there are only two buffs on the Swordsman class which is Gung Ho and Concentrate. Why did i took Gung Ho over Concentrate? Gung Ho has 100% uptime at level 5 and Concentrate is limited to only several hits unless you spam it all the time and burst mobs away then its not bad. It's up to you which one do you choose. You can drop bash and get concentrate or go level 1 Thrust and get 4 concentrate levels, up to you.
R1) WARRIOR
SKILLS
Thrust(5) - No cooldown filler skill against bossesBash(4) - Useful for early leveling / point dumpGung Ho(5) - Good damage buffConcentrate(0) - Flat additional dmg. Doesn't scale well + uses buff slot (soft cap @ 5)Pain Barrier(1) - 1 point for utility. Doesn't scale well (1 second per point)
Umbo Blow(5) - CC skill / filler while waiting for cooldowns.
Rim Blow(5) - filler skill / point dump
Swash Buckling(5) - Makes grouping mobs 100x easier + Max HP buff. Recent patch nerfed the range tho.
Guardian(0) - No point because it reduces dmg, takes buff slot, finestra from hoplite decreases evasion.
R2) PELTASTA
As for Peltasta this will give us a boost in our defensive aspect. This is a Spear/Shield Build so basically we will be using 1 hand spear most of the time.
Shield mastery - 25% block when maxedPeltasta:Guard + Guard Defense - Free guarding ability and 50% def increase while in guard.

R3-R4) HOPLITE
Hoplite is where the Catapract rises. Hoplite will enable you to use 1hand spear and a shield. The hoplite has a buff called Finestra which increases Block rate% and give you +10 crit rate per level. Most Catapracts skip Hoplite C2 thus they are lacking in finestra levels and they are limited to only 5 levels. At lvl 10 finestra you will have 100% uptime and +100 crit rate. This will give us more crit on finestra thus we can spare additional dex and put it in Str to compensate for the 1hand spear damage. As for two hand spear which has more damage than 1hand spear str is kept at minimum and dex is a bit higher to compensate for the lvl 5 finestra buff. So it's up to you if you want to go 1hand or twohand.
Shield mastery - 25% block when maxedPeltasta:Guard + Guard Defense - Free guarding ability and 50% def increase while in guard.
Finestra : Splash - This wwill increase your melee range.

And finally Catapract. Good mobility with mount+trot and have good low cooldown damage skills.
SKILLS
Get on companion - MountingImpaler(0) - Animation takes too long. Can have it at 1 point for utility though.Earth Wave(15) - Good AoE skill. (Note: That is not me in the youtube link)Trot(15) - Makes you go really fast while you're on a mount. Can have it up 100% of the time.Steed Charge(0) - Not exactly sure if Steed charge or Doom spike is better. Doom Spike(10) - Chose to go with Doom Spike over Steed Charge because it looks like it does more damage on paperRush(5) - Great damage skill and lets you keep moving while using the skill.
STATS DISTRIBUTION
We go 50/50 str/dex . Early on you can do 50/50 until you reach a decent amount of str like 40-60, up to you and go full dex.
