the SK pull was sick!
>:) thanks!
Is it possible to get an updated Squire Build?
from squire I get: flanged mace & heater, short sword in slot 2 (for chasing) armet, light gauntlets, padded tunic, cloth pants, and adventurer boots -- these items give me a good mix of Str, Agi, and Dex! sprint & second wind... shield mastery, counterattack, barricade, swift :) good luck out there!!
Why are you always using the morning star? Doesn't fighter get damage penalties on weapons from other classes(with weapons mastery)?
yes, but the attack pattern, and importantly the increased melee range of the morning star are very nice sometimes! well worth the damage reduction for the increased impact power too, IMO ;)
@@YourBoyBlinn ah, didn't know that it has a higher range. Thank you for the reply.
@@BrainBurnStudios no prob! good luck out there!
We fighting wit shields now
I've been fighting with a shield since Feb last year!! >:)
@@YourBoyBlinn Ill be fighting with a shield since Jan today !
@@Stuckley nice! welcome to the board :)
You don't think it's worth it to have a green shield with +1 weapon damage? I know you would have to drop the rarity of another piece or 2 but it would be cheaper and increase your damage
that's a good call! definitely lots of ways to massage your gear into 224.. for me I've ever thought the shield stats were good enough to choose over other armor rarity, but I should probably look closer to see for sure!
@@YourBoyBlinn I guess the video title is Min-max not budget max. I find that I can get cheaper blues with Better rolls personally
@@Kneesles yeah, budget max is a different approach! definitely cheap options for great kits avail on the market!!
No offence towards other guide makers, but you're one of the very few youtubers who managed to actually explain to bits HOW TO PLAY THIS GAME without leaving new players confused about small mechanics, gear, amd most importantly how to properly block and hit enemies
yay! awesome to hear, thanks :) tbh it's mostly because I enjoy fighting AGAINST other melee, so figured if I showed more people how to play (& enjoy) melee playstyles, the dungeon would be more fun for me haha.. hope the content helps & all the best in 2025!!
i love how youre so respectful to your opponents, ending every win clip with a gentlemanly "gg, man, nice try"
hey thanks very much!
Imo as a shield fighter as previous druid main I would just say use your block and try to get pretty close to his face because you can just keep blocking all of his attacks against a bear and he will eventually run out of heals which might cause him to play worse if not then change location to somewhere in your favor if possible, such as a large open room with no layers so you have a chance to catch them if they run. If you do hurt them to that point they will often just run and portal if you can't catch them
thanks for the "insider tips" haha :)
No probelm!
It's funny that the best strategy against Judgement is to just accept it, as it's going to happen regardless. Just like in real life.
BAHA! yes, totally & made me laugh IRL <3 happy 2025!!
very good video and i like the PMA attitude
super encouraging comment, thanks so much!
Now THIS is what I call a true guide.
thanks, that means a lot to me! good luck in 2025!!
The fights in-between talking really helps the adhd lmao
glad to hear it! i need the breaks too haha <3

thank you Clippy!!
man that druid fight really helps me understand what to do against them. i feel like i almost exclusively lose kits to druids
Druids got my number too! chin up brother!!
nice video! will there be a guide for the ranger?
if only I could play ranger 1/2 as well as I play fighter.. alas, it's melee guides for me! haha
Great video as always
hey thanks very much!
Great video man. I appreciate the effort of min maxing and what it takes to achieve this. So thank you for sharing. It was fantastic to watch you squish that flea jumping ranger lol
teehee squishing rangers!! cheers man!!
20:26 BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG stretch! great video! took a bit of a break from Dark and Darker but randomized modules has me about to hop back in!
Korius! great to see you man, yeah crypts has been super fun & interesting this wipe :) good luck down there!!
Hey, I learned shield fighter from you a couple months ago, but I run a PDR shield fighter. Shield isnt always reliable but its a game changer if you are playing a fighter and you dont wanna get gapped by literally any class, rely on your shield. However it's buggy and open for mistakes so by using pdr fighter I can make much more mistakes. I would suggest you run a build blinn
more PDR is a good idea, but I have such a hard time letting go of my movespeed... thanks for the nice comment!! will have to keep making adjustments as the season goes on, and PDR is definitely mandatory in duos/trios for shield fighter!
Move speed can also cover up for mistakes, but i also like to run with about 40%pdr
@@Fesko-ly1wr makes sense!
This carebear community requires so many MMR brackets gear is basically meaningless now
being thoughtful with my gear is the best way to optimize for playing in whatever bracket I feel like playing atm :) so it matters to me!
As a wizard you can not use this lay out. Not with a blue book, for whatever reason it counts as both hands and will put you over the 224 mark unless you use a squire book. “But no one plays Wizard anyways so who cares” -sdf
yeah the 2-handed items will require some other gear score adjustments to accommodate, sorry!
@ all good the videos mainly for fighters so I’m not coming at you lol. I’m comin after sdf who has some kind of grudge with wiz. I don’t think a blue spell book should count for 60 gear score. Makes no sense to me
For the 5 people who play wizard if you do a blue helmet and a green book it will put you at 223. Idk if thats the most efficient way to min max wiz but it works I guess
As a ranger main I’ve been running all blue gear minus my bow I use a purple bow with triple damage rolls, frost amulet with all attributes and max hp and I either use quickness rings with true and all ats or courage rings with those stats that means I usually have to rock a squire spear and buy a pair of common riveted gloves to accommodate the purple bow for 224 and under but I think the extra bit of additional weapon dmg is better than any stats you can get on 1 piece of gear and the 3 strength on the gloves I find is fine, I also get that extra phys power with the spear perk so combined with the phys power and true dmg I have on the other gear I still hit hard and I usually find a decent pair of gloves to replace the common ones pretty quick anyway, still experimenting but I think I like it the way I’ve been building my kits. definitely love 224 and under lobby’s though it gives me an extra thing to look forward to when going into the dungeons (trying to potentially upgrade each piece before bossing or pvp).
sounds like a formidable ranger kit!! I wonder how much the jewelry costs to replace? haha hope I never bump into your spear down there :)
@@YourBoyBlinnnot much actually you can get a frost amulet with all ats and max hp for around 4-500 gold the rings are the most expensive thing at around 4-600 I usually just buy them with all ats stat and gem the true phys onto them, also I’ve ran into you once in duos I think last wipe you wiped me and my duo pretty quick lol
Just a note about demon beserkers. If you kite them to a staircase, let them have the high ground and crouch, they can’t hit you.
thanks! never knew the staircase trick, sounds pretty comfortable haha
2:37 swear the blocking feels so bad sometimes
omfg it is
of fer shure :) haha
Awesome video! I love your videos man. I like that you always approach the game in such a calm and collected manner, even in fights always being respectfull to your enemies.
hey thanks for the great comment!!
As someone who just started playing fighter after many wipes/seasons playing other classes this as well as your other guides/content has been amazing! Very detailed and just a generally sound way of playing. I too prefer the shield fighter to many other playstyles and while I do have some variances in my weapon choices all of what you have listed is just perfect for that gear bracket/content. Great work man and keep it up!!!
can't thank you enough for this comment -- it's super encouraging!! good luck this wipe :)
@@YourBoyBlinnthanks buddy! You as well! Look forward to all the future videos!!! :)
resourcefulness also lowers your cooldowns so you can sprint more often. or shield bash if you rock that.
yeah high Res with shield slam is a super fun combo!!
Something to consider when building a kit. When the fundamental stat becomes high, it starts giving diminishing returns. What I mean by fundamental is base attributes(str., vig.,agi., etc.) are the most fundamental. Secondarily are the derived stats (phys/magic power, action speed rating etc.(derived from combining agi and dex)) Lastly you have the resulting refined stats (phys/magic power bonus, action speed, interaction speed, etc). When you start approaching the thresholds for diminishing returns from fundamental stats, you would want to look for the refined stats instead as they are not subject to any diminishing returns except for the stats that might have hard caps like physical damage reduction. Its also worth considering what pieces you want to put base attributes and which ones you want to roll refined stats on. For instance on a helmet, you can roll up to 2 max health. On a torso or legging you can roll up to 5 max health. All pieces can roll up to 2 base attributes. 2 vigor when you are still at a relatively low amount gives approx. 1,5 hp each point. So if you wanted to optimize in my example here, you would get your vigor roll on the helmet and your max health on the torso as that would net you around 8 total hp as if you swapped and did vigor on the torso and health on the helmet it would net you around 5 hp. Another thing since you like to play stealthy ambushes, invis pots are generally very cheap. Might be a little bit too detailed, but you strike me as the type of person to pay attention to detail 😅
I am a huge fan of details, and appreciate this very much. as I said in the vid, YT comments like this help me actually learn the game and I wouldn't be anywhere close to where I'm at not in the game without helpful people like yourself, who take the time to clearly spell out the nuances of the game -- so thank you so much!!
I thought Chest, Necklace and Pants are your most important slots. Because they have the highest rolls of Power, HP, Resistances and Luck.
I think you're right! I'll have to revise this system based on all the great info I'm getting :)
Es vergonzoso que digas una frase cada vez que terminas con una persona o un mob, madure. Por lo demás buen video y gracias.
gg man :P
W vid g great work 👌🏾
hey thank you so much!!
Do this same breakdown for the other classes :) Very good for new players.
I would if I had any experience playing other classes! been fightermaxxing for all of 2024 >:D
Your melee parry have some issues
big parts of my gameplay need improvement! def looking forward to more practice fighting in HR >:)
Why do you keep cutting to random clips that mostly don’t demonstrate your talking points in between your info? It’s quite distracting and I feel it takes away from the gravity of your info. Otherwise though, I love the system you’ve built up, seems quite well thought out!
thanks for your feedback!! I think the combat clips are important to keep the content engaging, and I always endeavor to connect that footage to my script. understandable that you (and likely others) find it distracting. for me, I need the visual distraction to actually help refocus on the delivery of info. general YT wisdom seems to be "make videos that you yourself want to watch" and I personally want to watch a mix of video essay & gameplay!
My shout out would be swap out to blue pants and focus on epic/legendary rings/necklaces. I can find cheap high rarity rings of survival on the market easily, which is nice for a looting build.
interesting, you think you'd get better stats from better rings in the gearscore? also maybe it's easier to find good pants in the raid, but less easy to find good rings? if so, that's a great call!
@@YourBoyBlinn Once the crafts are up,it's def worth to go purple rings for Grimmies and blue pants for brave hunters. Also sometimes worth to go no helm and be lizard/lycan (especially as a non caster since you don't need the add magic from the head slot) and upgrade the rest of your gear with the score saved from missing that piece
@@Namthre ahh yes, good call!!
@@Namthre I think bravehunters and special blues are worth purple grade gearscore
@@YourBoyBlinn rings are only +6 GS for a grade up vs +10 off chest legs or back
Cinema tier video blinn especially that gs chart <3
hey thanks very much!!
:( too many sweats
It’s not an easy game there is going to be sweats If that’s a problem there is always animal crossing👀
my pants get sweaty, that's why I prefer to wear EPICS ;)
hard games are fun & keep me coming back! also, I'm sure there's a way to min-max for animal crossing too hahaha
@@hsqqqmy beef is with the devs and their balancing not the players ig 😢 . Makes sense if some dude with funny little numbers on his gear can kill you 2x faster while being 4x tankier than you that people would flock to videos like this eventually.
I was just looking for a good shield fighter 224 build yesterday! Incredible coincidence
IT'S A SIGN hahaha
@@YourBoyBlinn I forgot to say thanks! Thank you!
@@superrubim happy weekend to you!
probably the most elaborated and highest quality dark and darker content out there.
very kind of you to say!!
Most of this information is totally accurate, but during the mythos phase, I’d really recommend opting for quick learner after the first scenario. Getting the loss out of the way will get you a +1 when you can make the progress if you can take the deck.
???
@ I believe I commented on the wrong video.
yeah had me trippin for a sec there!
That was funny though gg
I’ll offer a sub a an apology
Excellent video! One thing I’d like to add is that you can quite easily and consistently safespot the Demon Berserkers by using stairs, crouch in front of them with them standing above you on the stairs and their attacks will go either side of you leaving you free to damage their torso
ahhh thanks!! sounds a lot less stressful that trying to hop attack them on the chests/platforms!
Very informative! Can you make a guide on how to fight barbarians and sorcerers as shield fighter please?
glad it was helpful! I'll think about some advice for Sorcs.. for Barbs, you can find some info here: ruclips.net/video/_sPzMF4J1kY/видео.htmlsi=OaipVcl7YelIsrEw&t=296
Nice vid, very informative
thanks & good luck to you!!
there is something about how You do Your video that made me wanna be Your regular viewer
appreciate that! hope to see you around :)
