Swashbuckler

Swashbucklers are the one fencing style job to use shield, for a tanking Swashbuckler’s armor will be upgraded for additional armor and with shield Swashbucklers are able to handle themselves rather will in both situations with several physical enemies and with single hard hitting enemies where avoidance is important.

Swashbucklers’ largest weakness is against magic users as they have low resistance when upgraded to chain. Too many targets will also be a problem as the mitigation is too low but since avoidance is very high at least more than a few can be managed.

The shield is the Swashbucklers’ main mean of building threat and avoiding damage, they have skills to do hard shield attacks (and as smaller shield do more damage but has less armor and block this damage will generate high threat, and as a skill they can also make their shield be a full avoidance instead of a mitigation which makes the Swashbucklers get the highest effective avoidance available, for multiple targets they multiple target attacks with both weapon and shield.
