This is so refreshing to see. Right now, when you look up fighter builds, you're always shown a crystal sword or dagger. Great video, and I want to make this work in solo now.
Unfortunately, the dev's have been slow with balance patches. The crystal sword and rondel fighter are too strong, and have been for months. If they nerf those builds, this build will definitely become much stronger in comparison. I will say though, in squire gear, this build is likely stronger than rondel or crystal sword as those builds require very specific gear. This build also functions great in duos or trios to protect a backline DPS, as you saw in the video.
Literally just ran this load out with randoms in trios. I was using the cat skin for +2 Dex. I was able to secure a kill. Took out a team and almost killed the third party. So I rate this build 10/10. This was done in squire gear. I had played with Zwei hander before with fighter and this build filled the gaps in my own. GGs.
Love off meta builds I just wish they were actually viable. Wiz, lock, ranger, even SM fighter just put this into the ground no problem.. considering they aren’t ass. I hope IM goes in a direction with more talents/specs for doing more variety and unique builds
Do you mostly play solo? This build is genuinely viable in duos and trios. The reason I rarely play solos is because in solos there is very little build diversity. Nearly every viable solo build is just about building maximum movement speed. Very boring. We likely agree on this. It's worth mentioning though, even in solos, with weapon mastery + a bow, this build beats ranger and can handle it's own against Wiz, Lock, or really any other class.
@@trozersI actually considered that when I was typing. I mostly do duo/trio but have a lot of hours mainly farming Demi god in past on solo. I could see it being a lot more viable in trio/duo, solo is it’s own weird little meta. Saying it beats wiz, lock in solo is a stretch. I’m not complaining I fight and kill them all the time but there isn’t a lot of room for error against them as a plate fighter. Tough match up, without a shield even tougher. Regardless the Grimslayer is last wep I haven’t made so Ima make it and run some arenas lol.
@@peaglock3488 Man I keep getting some of the worst teammates in duo's and trios, granted I don't have all that much gear right now, does it get better in higher gear score lobbies?
I 100% agree, ran a unique lantern shield on fighter on a whim and it lowkey cooked, the whole point of it is to be aggressive and if you use blocking perks it puts you at positive movespeed reposting. but it requires you to play around it and be affective using both weapons ( arming sword, lantern shield), also sucks if you play defensively so the opposite of what you expect from a shield.
@@Jormmg Do you mean for arenas or just Q’ing in general? To be honest man I’ve played with the same people for a long time low gear, HR, and arenas. I can definitely say arena brings better players in the high gear lobby but also more toxic lol. One loss and some rage and whole game is OV. That’s why I usually stick to my same peeps. Find chill dudes with same energy and get some synergy together makes duo/trio a lot more fun.
Combo attack procs on the third succesful hit. First strike, 2nd strike activates it, all subsequent hits after that get the buff. Might not be as worth it as you think
ive been playing pretty much this build with a grimslayer and 40% phys power 170HP 50% pdr around 300MS, its really fun. been crafting more action speed gear tho so i gotta try that
I find it funny because I've been using action speed Zwei on fighter in under 24 for the past week for some of the exact same reasons. It could have been me that might have bonked you LOL
Unfortunately, combo attack activates on your second swing, so only your third swing gets 10% bonus physical damage. it's ass and you should change it for swift
Hell yeah, I'll try this in squire gear. Love seeing builds with off meta weapons.
Awesome! I hope it works well for you

Never forget the 40 dex longsword giga had build

@@trozers the sad thing is that running this build with either choice of crystal sword or rondel dagger might actually perform better.
Fighter should just not have daggers unless using slayer. Orsomething like it. I main fighter
@@watertaco that wouldn't stop cyclops vision crystal rondel dagger from going crazy with this much dex, but I get your point.
This is my favorite style of fighter! I like the direction you went with this build!

I love to hear it! I'm glad my video was helpful. Good luck in the dungeon!
It’s cool seeing you protect your wizard. Really works for both of you playing into the role of tank and carry.
Dang, that's a solid build! Great video!
Niiice, I’ve done this but haven’t seen much ppl try it, it’s so fun
Definitely underrated!

was running this the last few days. so funny i always run a non-meta build and see some content creator make a video a day later.
Right on!

I checked the wiki, and you're correct. Thanks for sharing. Swift would be much better to run instead!
Sick build brother looks like a blast, I’m bouta try it in arena next time around
ive been playing pretty much this build with a grimslayer and 40% phys power 170HP 50% pdr around 300MS, its really fun. been crafting more action speed gear tho so i gotta try that
That's awesome :D
Looks super fun! Great video
love that you included a squire gearset too. Would you possible have a build for under 125 gs?
Based hotline Miami music
Since when dose combo attack work on the second swing ? Did they change it ? always used to be the third
You're correct. I mistakenly thought it was applied to the second swing. I'd swap it for swift now instead.
I find it funny because I've been using action speed Zwei on fighter in under 24 for the past week for some of the exact same reasons. It could have been me that might have bonked you LOL
It might've been. It's very strong in under 24!
Unfortunately, combo attack activates on your second swing, so only your third swing gets 10% bonus physical damage. it's ass and you should change it for swift
A previous commenter pointed that out. You're correct that combo attack is pretty bad
i play zwei fighter for 3 seasons now :d can only recomend it, prefferably in duo´s or trios with no other melee :D
@dominikkopp7131 Yeah, it's pretty hard to avoid hitting teammates with those wide swings!
imma try to get my buddy to set this up
lol the amount of people who don’t know hydras can be jumped and don’t block doorways is amazing
When I try this I just get kited like a fat kid covered in tar 😥😥
Try running sprint over second wind if you're getting kited too much
man now I want to fight you in arena to see if my build can handle it
Too op, nerf weapon mastery by another 10%
😂
Hi Dimo :)
Please don't send my videos to Wilson. This build "feels" like cheating, I swear I'm not actually cheating.
