Roman Legionaries

[Raziel]

I'm busy for the forseeable future, and won't be able to participate most likely... so please don't stop any of this on my account, ok??

Legionaire (barbarian class): Must seek to max Sword Mastery and Throwing Mastery. They are forbidden to use Leap, Leap attack and Whirlwind since these skills cause them to abandon formation. They are also forbidden the use of Double Swing, Double Throw and Frenzy since they always have to wear a shield.

Warcries should be kept at a minimum though they might put a few points here too.

I wanted to talk about a potential Legionaire build.

We know they have to max Sword Mastery and Throwing Mastery. That's 20 points out of the picture right there.

My suggestion for the last 40 conveniently available points:

Max Bash
10pt Stun
10pt War Cry

When maxed, Stun will hit for with an AR of +60% and a duration of 3.0 seconds. slvl 10 Warcry will synergize the stun duration to 4.5 seconds, and maxed Bash will add a synergy of +160% damage.

Bash will deal +145%ed with a +115% AR. Stun wil add a further 50% ed to that lifting it to a total of +195% ed.

Maxed Sword Mastery will add +180%AR and +123%ed so hitting shouldn't be a problem.

I recommend that the Legionaires engage enemies and constantly stun them. It's only two mana. As per the Legionaires, War Cry is for synergies only and should never actually be used.

4 fanaticised stunning barbarian legionaires has some serious potential.

I would also strongly recommend that the javelins have "of the Bear" suffix, for knockback. I can't see the pilums doing a heck of a lot of damage, so you might as well soften enemies up in some other way.

Lastly, I wanted to point out that you've said the Centurion should have a staff. I can't understand why that would be..
