Dude,your build videos have helped my performance dramatically. I usually take your builds and make them my own,but seeing how you move and time your skills and attacks really helped me with rapier alot. Thanks a ton dude,keep em coming!
@Kristofer , hey man, not sure if you remember me, it's Kai from ESO (magblade). I've been playing BDO & hadn't tried NW yet, but I just watched a vid showing the NW classes & instantly thought I wanna do Ice Gauntlet + Rapier; to my surprise your vid was the first I clicked on! Great minds my friend XD , glad to see you're doing well!
Great video. I had one question do you think the deadly frost perk is an important perk to have? Currently i have been using the ice storm with unending thaw perk but this makes me want to try this out now. Less AOE damage but I have always felt that even with a little over 200 Int it doesn't do as much damage as I would like or sometimes people ignore it. I will have to keep an eye out for a rapier with those perks. Haven't been able to find one that isn't 40k lol
would sundering riposte + trenchant rend also be a good combo? Chunky backstabs are nice but vaporizing someone by putting 40% rend on them for 7 seconds seems like it'd be overall more dmg
Hey, how come a lot of pvp guides don't talk about enhanced on weapons? The one that buffs light and heavy attacks, I've been prioritising that over anything else atm. FYI I'm shit at pvp and wanna know what I'm missing. Thanks
I don't understand the Ice spike for your build. If you went Ice Storm, it slows them and if you land a heavy it roots them. Shouldn't the gauntlet solely be setting up the rapier? It's not the damage weapon the Fire staff is. If you add unending thaw perk, you should be able to sneak in some rapier heavies or peace out on tricky situations.
I tested the frozen IV gem on my rapier and didnt see an increase in damage after hitting a unit with an ice gauntlet ability vr w/o. Tested it on PVE units and the practice dummies at forts. Did they change something?
Actually Healthy Toast > Regenerating. Healthy Toast is almost a 2k heal when you use a Mana Pot and you can Spam Mana pots way faster than anything Else.
@@Arraxul Its already been debunked in a calculation video that Nimble is actually useless. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wGR-sc_BQlg.html&ab_channel=TheCoreGameplay
Is 300 int better for dmg output, isnt it? Rapier has it like secondary+gem to convert or is that roll decrease that mandatory? If u can triple roll with hearthy anyway?
Why would a build with the dodge Dex perk need hearty, you already have 3 dodges. A BIS ring would be ice dmg + leeching, not a random useless hearty piece.
At around 0:55 you mention ice gem on secondary wep benefiting from IG's final passive, is that a thing? Back in the day the passive was exclusive to dmg done from IG since passives didn't persist after weapon swapping.
I think this applies because frostbite is an effect tied to your opponent kind of like a rend for ice damage. I will test again to make sure this is correct!
I would not be surprised if they changed how this works in the future, but for now it does work. Last skill in IG tree increases the frost damage taken by the enemy (doesn't matter who is dealing the damage or if you have the IG active at the time or not). It is actually so strong that PvE speed runners use the strategy of multiple IG's in the group and ice gems in weapons to maximize DPS.
0:16 "things have become a lot more balanced".....I actually just spit out my coffee. Are we playing the same game? I remember when there used to be heavy, medium, and light armor builds. I remember when melee was playable in OPR/Arena. I remember the good ole days when VG was the most toxic thing. Turns out that nearly infinite stamina combined with dodge roll breaks combat...who could have seen that coming!?!?!? I think I have some some FPS games with higher TTK than the current NW meta. I mean a 5.5k backstab? That is half the HP of someone with 150 CON lol. In my opinion, PvP has never felt worse. I suppose the title of this video sums up everything about the current "balance". That being said, I do like your content and you are obviously a talented player, no disrespect or negativity toward you at all man. Looking forward to more videos!
If u want exactly the same, we can say weeks. But with basic purple items and some legendary that u can get its fine. Maybe the most important thing is the rapier, and the one u can get for pvp is really good or u can find cheap and solid rapiers in market. Just get the most important weapon perks, 4/5 resiliant and u are ready to go :)
I'm so confused, where do you find so many melee players? On Barri or Aaru there is min. 30-40% bow and musket players, they destroy me with this items so fast that i can't see
