Early skills focus on melee pressure, armor breaking and controlled area damage.

Build Notes
Progression and gear direction
Swordsman is the clearest Beta frontline class for learning threat, positioning and damage intake.
It is also a flexible long-term class because its job paths do not all solve combat in the same way.
To understand the class more completely, continue into gear progression and weapon refinement, or return to the classes overview to compare other starting classes.
