Befouled War Hammer of the Barbarian---- comes with refreshing move and sundering clearout and you can add trenchant rend to it

Yes, but hammer is still more damage. Sundering javelin also only works for enemies above 50% hp, whereas hammer works 100% of the time. I like the way you're thinking tho. If you don't see your group comp as having enough rend, then sundering jav is a good way to provide extra damage for the group

tbh gearing is easier than it's ever been. for pve, you really only need to focus on one perk to start, which is enchanted ward. After that, every perk is just nice to have. The main thing you'll need to spend money on are Weapon Perk pieces. So always check the TP for these, you might be able to get a lucky buy.

You can, this is just preference. Either option is viable, but evade is still probably more damage over time

So like I said, Rapier is the only real option for damage just because it does significantly more damage than any other weapon. This being said, hatchet, GS, spear, and SwSh are all pretty decent forms of damage. Feel free to try out these classes, I just really want to emphasize how strong rapier is. Every game has a meta, and this is new worlds

@ yeah I’ve used rapier it’s insane for sure. I just feel like evvvvverybody is running it and it makes me feel bleh

I'd only go medium if you feel you need the extra cushion. But this statement makes no sense. 'Better' is pretty subjective. You can be light armor with the same stats as medium, but you get a +15% damage bonus. So not sure why medium we be better if you want to min max dps

I'll have a video uploaded soon

yeah greatsword is pretty good but rapier is always king. If there were people that wanted to run GS, especially Serenity, that should be fine for any of your pug runs

@@schmecklmeister7675 Ok thank you ! I would be curious to see a tierlist but as a main tank i was looking to try to have a top tier dps build but not rapider i do not like the rapier gameplay,

I guess in theory, you could do this. Since the 15% from the artifact perk offsets the 15% you lose from going light to medium. On top of giving you more armor. But you're also just losing out on a ton of attributes from Attuned Leather Pants (ALP). So the azoth conductors will be a dps loss compared to ALP for sure. But that might be okay for you if you want to prioritize survivability while you learn mechanics.

I agree with this. Azoth conductors will really only be viable if you feel the need to go medium armor for whatever reason

@@schmecklmeister7675 as soon as i posted the comment i knew i was wrong for the exact same reason cheers haha

@@dfgfdsgfdgdsafsgsafd not wrong. asking questions is encouraged and you aren’t the only one that has asked this question. It’s a pretty common and reasonable thought process after reading the artifact perk

Distained Infliction / Refreshing Powershot / Attunement or Keenly Empowered

Normal uptime on evade is 2 seconds, with empowered on ammy this goes up to 2.66 seconds. Sometimes depending on your rotations, you might have empowered downtime since flurry is a long animation, and cooldown rotations can sometimes be messy due to desync, ping, rotations. Empowered on amulet is just extra insurance that you have 100% uptime on evade empower. Additionally, your only role as rapier is to due damage. Since you're playing a selfish build that offers no utility to your team, it is your responsibility to min max your damage as much as you can

Honestly, void blade dps is completely fine. My only comment would be that if you run with more experienced healers, they'll be able to handle healing and using voidblade. In these cases, if you signed up as a dps, I'd probably have another build on standby since there is generally no need for 2 voidblades in a comp (at least for boss fights). If you have healers that just camp life staff tho, by all means, blade away!!

@ I’m trying to crank as much utility and damage out as possible because I see more and more healers using lifestaff flail so I’m like “it’s my time to shine with my mid kit” 😂🤣 what moves would you recommend running as a “DPS Voidblade” lol

@@Venti_Depresso Haha if you don't see anyone on VG, forsure use it! I've had this same thought back in the day when running m3s. If I noticed my healer didn't use VG or ran a different secondary, I had some fun and just did void blade dps for the team. I would run the same skills I showed in the video. Blade and Oblivion are always mandatory, and rupture is still insane for bosses, giving your entire team +20% leeching and additional stem regen. The only big change you could make would be to your stats. 25 Str, 50 Dex, 350 Int, and the rest in focus. You can basically prioritize your own damage, since higher focus isn't needed as you are not a healer. Can spec some con too if you need :D

@ yes sir that’s pretty much what I’m running 😂 I mean I’m cracking like 6k lights idk if that’s good but it feels like it pumps especially because I leeching health sooooo much with blood drinker on lmfao

@@schmecklmeister7675 do you not think tether would be better than essence burst though or does the oblivion not stack up with that?

Sure thing. Leeching Flurry and Omnidirectional Evade on armor (these can be on weapon while leveling too). Enchanted Ward and Refreshing are your next priority for perks. After that, if you have space for more perks, use Health! Don't stress amulet much while leveling, but a health/protection/empowered amulet would be best. Ring should be hearty/thrust/leeching (keen okay too while leveling)

I'd expect there are 2 possibilities. The first is, this is just an unintended change of the recent patch, AGS had no clue this would happen. The second is a popular conspiracy theory. In short, AGS doesn't really like their players and enjoys taking away QoL features from them. The debate around Combat Logs and DPS Meters has been pretty heated for the last few years, and every time it has been brought up in the forums or on the official discord, AGS has always brought up that these things would be bad for the game and create a toxic player base. So, it's quite possible that in order to make the game even more casual friendly, they decided to get rid of the one and only way to reliably test damage, which was on dummies. Now the console player base has zero way to decide what weapons, combos, and attribute splits do more damage via individual testing, their only option is to record their gameplay, watch it back, and compare numbers. I would not be surprised if this was an intentional change to promote less competitive play. The devs don't really care to add content the players actually request and normally take away the content and QoL features we actually want. Always remember, the community has been asking for a new OPR map and additional PvP game modes for 3 straight years now.

@@schmecklmeister7675 Thank you for your answer, I've heard of AGS trying to appeal more to casual gamers which is a mistake for long-term I think. I don't see how disabling dummies is useful either as hardcore players like yourself will find ways to min-max regardless of what AGS does. If this was intentional it's a pretty shitty thing to do as it was our only reliable way of understanding abilities and perks, whether you were casual or not :(

@@Falcontf Agreed

New World

It was never 'better' than finisher, but it was very close. It was also a best in slot rapier specifically for ancients, because you could run mjolnir and lifering for more damage than finisher could provide. Lifering was also needed for expeditions where you wanted different gems in your rapier, think Ennead or Starstone for example, where the expeditions contained 2 mob types. To more directly answer your question - some people in our community tested a 725 GS Finisher with Distained Infliction and a 700 GS Lifering Rapier with the Inferno offhand to boost rapier damage even further. Finisher still came out on top with slightly more damage and slightly faster kill times. I decided not to bring all this up in the video because I believed it was more important to focus on the larger picture to maximize damage, rather than discuss bis rapiers cause we just need more time to test things to figure out the best options. All this being said, even if something is better than finisher with distained infliction, it will most likely only be marginally better

@@schmecklmeister7675 Ty for the detailed answer.

Nature's Wrath is probably never going to be used in PvE, at least for the foreseeable future. The changes to Wrath in the season 6 update make it pretty bad. I probably only see wrath being used for a fire staff player in PvP, but even this is unlikely. Serenity is very strong and a very good weapon. While rapier is always more damage, I would easily take a good player with Serenity any day of the week for my raid runs.

@schmecklmeister7675 ty for answer and yes i saw nature wrath changes itd 20%base dmg but since dex gives 20%base and Light armor 15% too its not that effective anymore for every non elemental dmg

PUG = PickUp Group. These are usually groups that are formed through the Dungeon queue finder in-game for M1 and M2 or via M3 Open lobbies (and raids formed via chat for your two raids)
