That's pretty close to my "Builder" attibs. I only went for the second perk in agility same option selected. I put these 5 points into vitality to get Passive Health Regeneration perk. The rest of my attributes are exactly the same as yours. Good video Wak. The "Builder" attrib setup is something that does not receive a lot of coverage on YT.
Speaking of shields... If you get the Ymir's targe shield drop from Warmaker's dungeon and put master reinforcement kit on, it will be a beefy 30k durability piece.
I run the same build except I run vitality instead of authority as my general purpose build. I'd say I am a somewhere in the middle as far as player skill and it's done me well as a total loot goblin. I can get so many resources way earlier through the dismantling bench that in my current playthrough I was able to build my first epic armor and a star metal short sword before I built my tannery. I can effectively do the content, especially when buffed and I'm in light armor. My suggestion to build on your comments of two thralls and setting only one for irritate get a really high health bearer and give them a poisoned weapon (or the wight blade for undead) They can take the beating and while your berserker racks the heavy hits. Finally, the first time I fill all my slots I like to put something in the very last place that I never drop so when I'm out farming or looting I know how much space I have left to carry. You can also pick up things for dismantling and put them all in the bottom of your inventory so it's easier to dump them into the bench.
I do 20 Agil cus i like the mobility the double jump gives you, 20 Vit, and 20 Expertise with stamina armor(the vanir chieftain one from BP if you have it with the Kurak leggings or Gloves of the Jhil with master plating if on Siptah. You end up with full 700 health and 190 stam, 210 if master crafted. You have unlimited weight as well so you can carry a bunch of cleansing brews and corrupting brews/flasks if you wanna use magic
Ha almost my build and I love it. I feel like "careful harvest" works with taming animals too, becaus even I feed them normal food I get very often alphas.
That's my build almost exactly! And I also use short sword, shield, katana and bow. I don't need the grit points cuz our server has ridiculous stamina but 20 agility, 20 authority with 2 dalinsias and 20 expertise. As for armor I use whatever but I'll try to piece something together that I like.
i got a build like this too but instead of 3 perks agility i go into vitality and i corrupt 10 points in authority. 50% dmg reduction because dmg is split with your thrall +bonus dmg for your thrall. and you have a bit of corruption to cast magic. in addition i only use 1 thrall with better stats which in my opinion is just stronger. for armor i use the skelos kultist master armor for more agility weapon dmg AND thrall dmg with heavy plating. and there is a better katana in the first skelettboss in silvermines
Barachan = Bah-Rock-ann. listen to an audiobook occasionally 😛 great video tho! that is very close to the build I use. I may try yours tho. I only have 15 in auth and went str. but your reasoning seems sound for Agility
Love the outline for this build and the cautions against the more intensive bosses. I've often added a few points to Vitaliy cauae i thought it was necessary and now I am searching up.the fixin's for the reset potion to give this a try. Thanks, Wak, very informative!!
Just run 20 agil, 20 vit and 20 exp with heavy stamina armor+kurak leggings or Jhil Gloves if on Siptah, you wont have 2 thralls but with 700 health, 180-210 stam and up to 1.1k armor you wont need a second thrall.
Does follower damage % still work with War party? I thought that it negates the any bonus you provide to your followers including follower damage bonus. Thank you for the video!
my raiding build is full agility, full vitality, full expertise. paired with black dragon pike or vaulting pole. solid hits using the vitality weapon, 835 hp, and plenty of stamina. using silent light helm, dragon light bracers, silent light chest, leggings of kurak, spider climb boots. grandmaster bulked plating and the weapon damage/armor pen on weapon
You should just let your thralls do their things and support them with arrows. Use the fact that you have "infinite" inventory to keep utility arrows, like poison or healing arrows, with you. At the first mistake you're going to regret terribly having no vitality.
Oh that’s a good idea for a build. The wak moment build. Maybe like the worst possible build you could ever put together. Hmm wonder if a “bad” build is even possible.
My fav is auth 20 (corrupted to 19), exp 20, Grit 10, Vit 5, Agi 5 (sinc I usually use daggers) the last 20 I find isnt super important since your followers are doing all the damage here.
This is pretty much my current build except i put in vit instead of grit. Grit is probably better. My reasoning while creating the build: 15 agi so i move fast, 20 expertise so i can pick up everything, 20 authority so I can have bodyguards as I farm. I got the game a week ago and this is the first build video i looked up and its basically the one im already using, what are the odds? Im using heavy armor shortsword too.
I actually went for headless judge on Siptah with Authority/Expertise build hahah And I killed him, but I got scared when he started going though my thralls HP like through butter. I'm running with shield weapons as well. Mostly poison axe. But I use short sword as well. Unfortunatley star metal shortsword. With axe I'm getting up to 1st perk in Strength. With shortsword I'm getting 1st Perk with Agility. Besides that I'm using 1st perk in Vitality and 2nd Perk in Grit. Nothing special, I just picked up these perks and I'm using them since they added running arround with 2 thralls at the same time. As for armour, I'm using gliding fittings on it to be unstoppable adventurer - no mountain can stop me. If I'm using heavy armour it's dragon bone set. If medium, that's full stamina set composed of stuff like Gloves of The Brute, Silent Legion helmet, best stuff for Stamina stats. As for potions - Elixir of Freedom for extra Stamina and spiced birdy for extra health.
It's an interesting build, not far from what I normally use when doing encumbrance build, although I do focus a bit more on vitality than stamina, for armor I go a bit different simply because I want to focus being able to do both heat and cold, and that is where the Dragonscale Helm can do wonders since it adds a ton of both heat and cold protection :) I myself love agility builds and especially short swords, you mention the Sword of Champions as a drop from 1 skull snake bosses in vulcano, so does the wiki(Lotan the Lost) and says that it has a 30% drop chance, I have killed all the 1 skull bosses down there probably more than 30 times and I have never had any of them ever drop that short sword, it has been all hardened steel weapons I have gotten from them, so either the drop chance is much lower or there is a something wrong with their loot table, I have been testing this on official server, so no mods to interfere, I might do a test in singleplayer at some point to see if it drops at all, it is such a shame that Funcom introduce a good weapon like short swords and then pretty much leave out Exiled Lands for legendary short swords :)
I tested the drop of the champion sword before I posted the video. It does drop from the one skull boss with all the worshipers. I think I killed it 10 or so times before it dropped.
@@wak4863 I went in singleplayer and killed Lotan 50 times using instant respawn and I got the Sword of Champions 6 times which tells me it definitely isn't a 30% drop chance like wiki claims. It does have some really good stats and is the only legendary short sword in Exiled Lands, but in my opinion it isn't worth grinding for because it is a semi rare drop, so having to kill him maybe 10-12 times in a row to get it to drop is a bit much considering it only has 900 durability, but you were right it can drop :)
I normally run something close to that; 20 ag(extended jump), 20 ex(beast of b); 15 vit and 5 to grit. For most the same reasons. I only bring a thrall to keeps the pesky addons away or if I have a particular target. Find this setup to be great to farm, explore, evade and even raid. Not so good at PVP.
Hmm nice build. I run max agility vitality and expertise since the server i play on is very freindly when it comes to stamina but i think i will try an authority build now. 2 buffed up thralls may be fun for a bit.
I used a different build. 20 vitality,20 authority and 20 expertise. I soloed the arena champion with a combination of poison arrows and the zath orbs. Also of course it depends on the server settings.
I have been using a build exactly like this for the longest time, I cant play the game with out the beast of burden perk I hate Inventory management and when I want to go farm I hate having to either transfer stuff to my thrall to keep farming or running back to base every 2 min to empty inventory, so to me the game is Unplayable with out the beast of burden perk.
I don't understand this build. Is this mainly for hopping around the arena-master? Or are you generally obsessed with agility? 312 hp is your idea of comfortable gameplay? The main point of carrying much in the usual gameplay ist getting your stuff home without dying. This makes high vitality preferable. As person who invented the wak-moment you should appreciate the benefits of a high-health build. With a full authority build your damage comes from your thralls, not from you. Even with no points in strength or agility and full vitality it is possible to help thralls effectively with bleed or sunder effects while being a sturdy and reliable supporter with your weapon damage. If I had to choose between agility or strength for a carry build I would take strength because it increases damage and the amount you can carry, it even reduces the weight of armor with perk 2, so even more ability to carry stuff with heavy armor. Bows in combat have low damage output and decrease survivability because of lack of cc and shield. In a single boss fight with full authority this ist often ok, but questionable with only 300 hp.
The game is easy. All you need is Authority with +30 stat to thrall perk, Cim Zerker w/str gear, Skelos Set and win anything in the game. Just pop off arrows when you're bored. Don't even need follower dmg elixirs or food unless you really wanna 1 tap the world. Wak's build is just fine. The entire build is really just optional minus the Authority perks. Pick your playstyle
@@papadoom: I know that the game is easily won with a mediocre weapon/armor and one or two mid-level Zerkers and I always play in hardcore mode (death = char. delete) and never die, but at least this sometimes leads to moments with suspense. I never need str. armor, a special weapon, a special set, stat potions, healing or poison arrows or silly spider-orbs for me or my thralls. I also see that Wak often artificially increases the difficulty of the game by doing dungeons and monsters with an inapropriate level. But still there are comfortable and uncomfortable builds, and this build feels uncomfortable and not logical to me. I hope it was not too disturbing to point this out. I also wonder, why bother with builds and doing videos about them when every build with authority just depends on playstyle and therefore is fine?
