P2Win elements all over the place. Not just in Aion, but most of all mmo's out there. However, regardless of this problem, we love this channel a lot! 💝🚁 ❤️️😍
I miss the 2009 Aion. When my chanter was full fenris gear and that was good enough lol. Now as a chanter to be good you have to have so many sets to keep up. Such a time/energy/money drain to get all the gear that you want now. And with a 1 year old at home its very hard to stay up top in the game.
Spend 2 hours in game. I check cash shop and left. Basically they removed running and casting / atk speed scrolls & stats from items added it to cash shop. Cash shop also includes 1 p2w kaisniel no animation, legendary hack transformation if you pay enough $.
Hey! I've been playing since a few days, played to over level 60 by now, and having a blast in general. Didn't think i'd ever like a tap targeting game, but it's really cool, good monster design, rewarding progression and visible character outfit changes and a heartwarmingly ugly pet. I really think they've done sth great. Can't wait to get to endgame content. I really enjoy your videos and thanks for doing these when you've basically quit already. P.S. I'm a pure solo player so maybe some instances or endgame wont be for me, but in that case I'll just level all classes and try them as I always do in these games... (also idgaf about pay 2 win, if players want to spend money for content i dont care about or if they fund this game by being OP, they should go for it, lol. I dont interact with them anyways.)
Honestly I don't agree with bard's DPS. I play both sorcerer and bard, honestly saying couldn't see much difference in DPS. Bard is much much better than sorcerer because of bard' s healing and supportive side. It has silence and stun. What do you need more from a class? Bard has whatever a class needs. For me the best class in aion is chanter. It does good Dps. It has great healing side and it has the best buffs of the game. The most wanted class for challenging instances!!!!
> Gladiators very challenging class (4.5/5 stars difficulty) > Clerics easier than a gladiator (3.5/5 stars difficulty) > Sorcerer easy class (3/5 star difficulty) Lol... What am i reading here ?
ely SM gets tempest at 10, so you have a fine woman with you when soloing(even if you are playing a female, she'll never have a body like that) painter gets a sustained beam of death, and kick ass wormhole gauntlets(paint comes from a paint growing universe... or sherwin williams?) gunner, epic mech or armcannon(epic as well)
i played aion since 3.5, all the day, 4.5 was the best update for me, after 4.8 i start to being inactive, and at 5.0 i leave the game, is so bored now :(
GemCap ShizBiscuit I remember when I was 7 and played this game and quit about 2 years into it. I’m 12 now and it’s kinda sad to see that it’s become a p2w game. I spent like 100 in the store for skins and emotes but not really for coins etc. I was a mage I believe and it was so fun in the beginning. But I just stopped bc I got older.
THANK YOU FOR THIS WELL MADE GUIDE VIDEO ❤️ I knew it; even before watching or even reading about the classes that Mage-Sorcerer is the one and my type 'cause I am so fast-learning guy and came out from other Games Perfectly 😁
Hello , I am definitely benefits a lot from your well explained and detailed contents . I got to said , before I jump into any MMORPG games my habits will be browsing for information on every single things before I jump in and I really have to said , you have my deepest respect . I can see your dedication and passion toward Aion Online although I may not know whether will I be sticking long with this but however your explaination through everything make me really hype for this and thank you very much for all you have done to make us the new player a favour . Cheers !
yea, sywo forgot that heal is absolutely unbalanced in this patch, that is why he is not a good player, just a basic one. Just describing the first 2 classes with templars using mace (which is absolutely useless now) and glads (using DW, which is also absolutely usless this patch cuz pole dmg is so much stronger than dw now) shows again that he has 0 clue.
Building your classes properly is really important, that's something new players might have a problem with... how to socket their gear and what attributes are the most beneficial for their class! The game has 5 (primary) phyical dps classes and 6 primary magical dps classes! *However!* Only 3 out of 11 classes benefit from casting speed attributes (sorc, cleric and spirit master)! All other 8 classes benefit from atk speed! So it's really important to build your gear properly in order to optimize your dps.
Actually incorrect, all classes also benefit from attack speed. So, in terms of building your gear, it's important to understand how weapons are combined (for example) so that a class can benefit from both cast and attack speed- it's not only DPS but there are benefits in PVP.
.... if 80% of the skills you use have casting time 0... I can guarantee you.. that casting speed would not do anything for you XD That's why the transformations that give both casting and atk speed are one of the most useless... they should emphasize on either one or the other... you don't need both... instead of 15% cast speed, 15% atk speed... it's million times better for BOTH PvP and PvE to have 30% of only ONE type... that's why before 6.0 you could use only one type of scroll... casting or atk speed... there's no point in having both... If a sorc is casting a skill for 2 second and the skill animation is 0.5 seconds... compare: 15% x 2s cast + 15% x 0.5s animation to 30% x 2s cast + 0% x 0.5s animation... What is an assassin for example gonna cast? they don't cast anything... it's useless...
I don't think you should give any of these classes less than 3.5/5 difficulty rating, since EVERY class has a lot of depth which most people can not get into, to really be an exceptional player with that class
If sm is 6 at dps rank i have to say IT'S NOT FAIR! Because you can't bring another sm in your pt considering the class mechanics itself. So, SM should be kept at top 3 like currently is in 5.8.
"chanter is an easy class to play" haa. sure, i have been on hiatus for the past few years now but as a chanter main let me tell you, in ye old times, you had to learn every game mechanism just as the priest because people either expect you to replace a priest in easier content or you are the priest's back up if things go south (all this without any decent group heal ofc) and you have to time your boons very well. i dont really think this changed that much.
I've last played at the eye of tiamaranta patch (I think it was 4.0) with a spiritmaster. As far as I remember, the class was actually pretty strong in pvp not since its massive amount of damage but it's low cooldown on crowd control (fears).
yes this is technically "p2w" however thats really for pvp; if you dont feel comfortable getting slaughtered by someone who paid 2 win; then just dont do pvp till late game; everything they buy you are able to get you just gotta work for it enough
yeah but you can get it by playing and aion sad that we will get them by events. and if you want to see what you get out the scrolls you can watch sywo's video there he opens some and didn't get anything. just give it a try and play the game don't be scared of the shop
U are both new players one guy buying scrolls and mana stones and all the boosts and the other isnt lets say u both played 20h total and then meet in pvp no fkn chance the guy with out paying gnna have a slight chance even....so yea its p2w....and the argument u gnna have whats he has in a year of playing is bonkers
Templar is easy? joke? you are a leader on instances 100% times with randoms and , depends on premade sometimes some one other leads, but mostly you lead instances, you need focus on dps and suport at same time , for example dredgions you atack enemy players but also watch your party members to give shields/bg/heal i saved many asses , also you do low dmg in pvp so you need think how to use what to kill enemy, i dont agree about that temp is easy so much.
I believe he said that difficulty ranking because of the easiness of understanding the class for someone new. Templars dont have a lot of skills and its easy to guess were each skill is useful to use.
I think the term "easy to pick up and difficult to master" has really always applied to templar. As cosmoskymasterall says, templar skills are pretty self explanatory and it's easy to know when and where to use them. The mastery of the class comes in far later and there are many more variables that play into it.
Sywo you forgot to say one thing about Glads Gladiator can use also other weapons besides Dual (dagger+sword mainly PvE) and Polearm (PvE and PvP), this class can also use the following: *Bow (mainly to stun the enemy which is far away from you or simply using some ranged class in PvP ofc) *Greatsword (not every Gladiator used to have a Greatsword in the previouws patches but having it can help) i don't recommend this weapon in PvP because you will have less damage and remember that Glad is an AOE BEAST, but you can use it in PvE...again less damage but in PvE Dual is the main thing, you can use Greatsword when you switch weapons just for few sec instead of Polearm, up to you.
Hi Ryu, ure right yeah. In that case I also didnt mention that sins can bow and clerics can staff, rangers can dual weild for surkanas :D Thank God for 6.x, all of these are not gonna matter soon enough
Yup, in previous patches "Attack" was the primary stats for all physical classes and played a huge role in autoattacks, thus making weaving the most important skill to learn. In 6.x we have "Weapon Attack" and "Physical Attack". Weapon attack is responsible for the damage dealt in autoattacks and is seen useless as enchanting anything does not increase that stat anymore. Physical attack on the other hand is responsible for the damage dealt when using skills but no effect on autoattacks. Also I'd also mention that with this the "Dps ladder" also shifter a bit. Sorc is still the first, sin can be second although i think that spiritmasters and dps clerics are sharing that spot. Ofcourse this is true if we're talking about single target dps...
Cleric can do a lot of dps if you have a good dps gear, maybe top 3 dps class if you mainly dps. I'm still not 100% sure about this last patch but until now I was able to do good dps aswell in 6.2.
I used to play as Spirit Master for 3 years until 5.0 and I think it was best single target dps in game. Never attacked with spirits... I hope you are wrong to say now is not a good dps, because I plan to return... XD.
Aion Highlights - Saku lol@sorcs being in the middle of the scale. and no SMs won't ever be the best single target DPS but they can potentially do very good DPS, just 95% won't get higher than sorcs or sins
Artists, bards? Did the go back on Muse and Song Weaver? My SW dealt major DPS when I played. Been about a year now, but if you're built right, with right gear and enchants, SW are quite powerful. I could solo many mobs others couldn't. So if you want an all around bad ass toon, pick SW.
SM top 6... SW do damage a little bit lol, on pve SM is the most op he's the only one that can 1v1 bosses love your videos, helped me a lot when i was playing aion but don't hide that classes are still unbalance with same items (no rezists or something (cleric sets))
As a europen player will you recommend to play on eu version of game or Ba version ? What are pros and cons between the clients? Sorry I’m new to your channel sorry if you covered it already somewhere else. Also is there dungeon matches ? Like in tera for example for instances ?
I don't think I'll ever get back into Aion, not because it's bad or anything it's amazing, but because the only two classes I like are completely boring to play. Gunslinger is just do the same thing with different buttons while Assassin requires Mark setup that just isn't my style. Now, Blade and Soul? Those classes are A+ except fuck Destroyer.
On the topic of bards (Songweavers in NA), my friend mains one and can out dps me as a sorc. The only difference between us is that their armor is enchanted very heavily. I know that overall a sorc can do more dps but it's unusual hearing that a bard (Songweaver) is on the bottom tier for dps.
@@siaviclark3550 I really doubt upping your pve gear will have THAT big of an impact, especially if it's only +5. And yeah, you're right it's boring af
Hello Sywo, thanks for the constant updates through your videos and the passion that you share for the game. You got me all hyped again. But one simple question, can you tell us how to make kinah in this new patch? Since the kinah system has changed and many previous kinah have turned into gold bars. I am a bit confused.
so sad that templars got nerfed... all my buffs last 10 seconds instead of 30, prayer of victory gives only 2600 hp when the squishiest class in beginning gear has 40k, totally useless. also lost many of the dps skills and even air change got replaced with some shit that is reducing dmg even more... i feel like they just killed templars.
considering how they've been overtuned for the last 2 patches...this is WAY overdue, probably a lot closer to where they should be, only a slight increase needed - as is being added in 6.5
If I have some money to invest on the game, where should I spend my aion coins? Goldpacks only? Or should I simply camp at the broker untill I see what its worth and what not?
Hey, do you think assassin is still a viable class in 6.2? Seems weaker than previous patch but tbh i haven't gotten the gear yet. Just asked to know if i should reroll ^^
Will having alts be beneficial in classic? I'm thinking of maining Assassin & alting Chanter/Gladiator. I'm going to play casually & might not get the best gear on time for a long time. Is there a beneficial reason to play alts up to cap lvl?
I played this years ago and quit after doing dungeons and NEVER getting any loot drops. Was a waste of my time. No Idea how it is now but I don't like pay to win
I'm seriously thinking about going back to Guild Wars 2 because this new 6.0 update took away Attack spd and mov spd scrolls and they want you to dump real money into cash shop to buy some stupid RNG transformation scrolls to get those stats back! I loved this game but this patch is crap! Aion is too expensive now! T_T
It's easy :D I remember I rolled one in the past for the lolz and beat a guy in a duel like a breeze. He had abyss gear and I had no clue how to play, just knew to kite and kill :D Of course, we were in our lvl 30s, and it was quite many years ago, but gives laughs until now "Remember that time when your green-ass noob Lalu ranger beat my gg abyss char?" xD
Sywo, I'm a more pve player (did all classes already) but never found the class that suits me the most...(played from lvl 55 cap till tiamat's stronghold patch... Then came back now to still getting stuck with classes....) Do you have any tips for me? c.c
Hi Sywo! I am one of those new players in North America. I wanted to play a dual wielding gladiator, but after listening to your video, it seems we need to know a lot of stuff to get good at it, and I was wondering if I shouldn't go with 2 handed weapons instead. Do you have any suggestions of guide for gladiators, or would you be willing to do class specific videos on how to play them well? That would be super useful. Thank you very much!
Sywo, I really love and appreciate your informative Vids. But can you please make a Vid or some kind of tips how to get money without real paying for stuff to sell it in the broker? I am a returning player, Aion almost took all of my Kinah from me (currently at 9 million) and I struggle to get my Stigmas since the prices in the broker are just stupidly high. I can't see any way to compete with other Templars on my server since I'm stuck with Stigmas that aren't useful in their combination anymore.
3:20 "PvP in Aion is not about what class you pick" I strongly disagree. There is such a thing as match-ups. One class will have a disadvantage depending on which class they're fighting. A ranger can still beat a templar, but it's a highly uphill battle for the ranger. Songweavers can still lose, but considering how many match-ups they have an advantage in, songweavers will still have the ADVANTAGE in a 1v1 fight. There are tons of factors that affect the outcome of a fight, from ping to keybind skill. Knowledge of the match-up, however, is definitely one of those factors, so PvP in Aion is absolutely about what class you pick.
I disagree; clerics have good burst dps and heals, but that's about it. Their crowd control is awful, and they are weak in the mana regen department. Songweaver vs cleric - a matchup where clerics get completely wrecked - is probably one of the most unbalanced matchups in the entire game. Clerics don't by any means destroy everything.
@@Baryonyx89 Idk what you mean? I have 0:0 or won vs bards multiple times. First you get about 50-60% mana if u use ur regen skills (that have max. 1 min cd) and 2nd u get 20% mana every 5 sec by using the pot u can buy. So i never ran out of mana
You should be getting CC'd, mana drained, and silence-buried every 30-ish seconds in a 1v1 against a songweaver. There are many inexperienced songweavers who only know how to DPS, but should you go up against a songweaver who knows how to CC, mana drain, and fight you in a war of attrition, you will 100% lose even with a big gear difference. If you were here a couple years ago and watched Funkeln vs BBaron, the one-sided nature of this matchup should be apparent to you.
@@Michelo5697 I am SW player. Kinda "pro" at it , but of course not the best. At 6.0 , they made it slightly worse , some skills dissappeared , 2 of them were essential at PVP. One skill was kinda nurfed for PVP. Yes , SW is good at everything in game. But only good. SW is not best option in amything for the game. Always a class that at the middle in any part of game. In my opinion.
I disagree. Generally, people consider Songweavers as the best 1v1 pvp class. They have a CC wombo combo that's better than sorcerers', the best war of attrition skills in the game, high DPS, and on-demand silence/bind. SMs on the other hand are the best CCers in the game; that's about it. If you can survive a fear lock from an SM, you've already won the fight, and songweavers with their cleanses and war of attrition skills are more than capable of doing that.
HEY SYWO GREETINGS FROM CHILE, I HAVE A QUESTION., IS IT BETTER CREATE YOUR CLASS FROM SCRATH O KEEP YOUR OLD CHAR ?. I PLAY IN THE NA SERVER, SRY FOR CAPS
hi man, love back to Chile! well with these drop rates and enchantment rates we have in EU and NA, it's better if you focus on 1 class, sadly :D sure you can have alts and start from scratch, but don't expect to get good gear on other chars also
dont blame the gear when you lack in skill mate.and no ranger or a good one that is will ever ever face an enemy face to face you just dont have enough sustain to do so unlike gladiators so have you asked yourself that maybe you only suck thats why you cant beat glads in pvp
Hello I really enjoy a lot the content you provide in this channel it my favorite But you forgot to mention how difficulty you rate the spirtmaster because I want to know your raiting Thank you for your good work and keep it up
4-5/5, manage pet, control excess mobs, unload all the dots(i wouldnt, its too annoying and would feel botty like ff14), try not to ogle tempest summon
does it worth playing aion without gold pack? i played on NA, didnt need that there, but im losing patience for their update so im interested in EU version.
Aion would do more fun with legendary transformations ... i play now 5 years and have 12/17? ancients ... 99% of the classes are not nice with only a ancient transformation but i dont wanna pay money for special luck boxes :/ so I play 1-2months and then i paused it 4-5 months but I wanna say to you: i am not good in listening english but you talk so slow that i understand every setences without subtitles! :D i like you
Hi all hi sywo. I'm looking just now to the new AION 6.x release and I'm a bit confuse. I still have my old account with my old templar in Delya (pretty sure it wasn't event Delya before, i believe it has been moved). The question is: to enter the 6.0 patch all I have to do is download again the client from gameforge, install the game and I can get back my templar in AION 6? I fell I'm missing something...help? Thanks
i come from d&d neverwinter i quited like 4 months ago. im in a drepression after being hyped for bless rofl , i can deal with p2w/p2progress . any old d&d players wanne share their feelings bout aion? think i will like it?
what version was burrito? ive returned myself, and holy hell, the stripped the amount of quests needed to level to barely 20% of 2.0, and crafting and gathering starts at level 80, which takes a week or 2, depending on if your doing with a party(or im just doing it slow)
I personally think so, but it's best to give it a shot for a while to see if it's worth it for you or not. I played it for a long time then had to stop due to school taking up some time. I just got back into it and still love it, so it's worth it for me.
Do yourself a favour and play Aion on a private server such as "gamez aion"..... More populated than retail and the option to skip gear grinds.... You will never enjoy Aion without maxed gear +15 with a full stack or balance of mana stones....And yes Sorc at top tier is dominant with enough MR
Don't misinterpret me but what are those difficulty ratings for? Glad has 4,5 stars but an SM has only 2? Not to mention Chanter and Templar have only 1,5 stars. A good chanter can DPS and heal as well as buff persistently and efficiently, easy to learn, hard to master. An SM needs to keep track of plenty of information in a fight and needs to time well a lot of his skills. Again, easy to spam buttons and hard to master. Glad is the same, easy to spam buttons, hard to master due to rotations. All in all, aside from cleric and templar, you can just spam buttons and do DPS, but to do so efficiently is another completely different matter, be it PvP or PvE, and to do so it requires knowledge of your class and others as well, so those ratings seem way off for me as there is no "easy" or "hard" here. You can do bad, decently or exceptionally well on all classes, and none of them are that easy to master to the point of rating them 1 or 2 stars. Apart from those ratings, the video itself is very good!
Played since 2013 and took a hiatus in 2016.
Came back in 2017 and played for 4 months and then here we are.
Installing Aion again..

As long as theres P2W in a PvP focused game its a massive no thank you.
> Gladiators very challenging class (4.5/5 stars difficulty)
> Clerics easier than a gladiator (3.5/5 stars difficulty)
> Sorcerer easy class (3/5 star difficulty)
Lol... What am i reading here ?
ely SM gets tempest at 10, so you have a fine woman with you when soloing(even if you are playing a female, she'll never have a body like that)
painter gets a sustained beam of death, and kick ass wormhole gauntlets(paint comes from a paint growing universe... or sherwin williams?)
gunner, epic mech or armcannon(epic as well)
Played Aion for 3 years from 3.7 to 5.2 or sth and was on 2 year hiatus. Tried this new "amazing" Aion and left after 3 days. It's that good.
Seems 3 days is the limit for all players lol. Same here. Played since beta version
lol same, played beta for 3 days and saw that its not a good game
i played aion since 3.5, all the day, 4.5 was the best update for me, after 4.8 i start to being inactive, and at 5.0 i leave the game, is so bored now :(
GemCap ShizBiscuit I remember when I was 7 and played this game and quit about 2 years into it. I’m 12 now and it’s kinda sad to see that it’s become a p2w game.

same here, i tried with all my spirit buy its impossible, Still being the same P2W game as always.

I'm totally new to the Aion universe, so this is very much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to break all of the classes down.
Sywo is actually doing so much good stuff by these kind of videos for Aion company! Great video ♣
lol clerics easier than gladiator am I seeing things
In this patch, play either Cleric, Chanter or Bard. Period.
yea, sywo forgot that heal is absolutely unbalanced in this patch, that is why he is not a good player, just a basic one. Just describing the first 2 classes with templars using mace (which is absolutely useless now) and glads (using DW, which is also absolutely usless this patch cuz pole dmg is so much stronger than dw now) shows again that he has 0 clue.
Clerics are needed now.. Seriously, like Chanter but not Bard.

That's why the transformations that give both casting and atk speed are one of the most useless... they should emphasize on either one or the other... you don't need both... instead of 15% cast speed, 15% atk speed... it's million times better for BOTH PvP and PvE to have 30% of only ONE type... that's why before 6.0 you could use only one type of scroll... casting or atk speed... there's no point in having both...
If a sorc is casting a skill for 2 second and the skill animation is 0.5 seconds... compare:
15% x 2s cast + 15% x 0.5s animation
to
30% x 2s cast + 0% x 0.5s animation...
What is an assassin for example gonna cast? they don't cast anything... it's useless...
I don't think you should give any of these classes less than 3.5/5 difficulty rating, since EVERY class has a lot of depth which most people can not get into, to really be an exceptional player with that class
You have shortened the time by a half from the last time! Nice! :D
If sm is 6 at dps rank i have to say IT'S NOT FAIR! Because you can't bring another sm in your pt considering the class mechanics itself. So, SM should be kept at top 3 like currently is in 5.8.
another awesome video. loving the patch so far, reminds of the early days where every little thing and every extra grind mattered.
"chanter is an easy class to play" haa. sure, i have been on hiatus for the past few years now but as a chanter main let me tell you, in ye old times, you had to learn every game mechanism just as the priest because people either expect you to replace a priest in easier content or you are the priest's back up if things go south (all this without any decent group heal ofc) and you have to time your boons very well. i dont really think this changed that much.

At several points i think: "Wtf are you playing the same Aion as we do?"
Else nice video.
yes this is technically "p2w" however thats really for pvp; if you dont feel comfortable getting slaughtered by someone who paid 2 win; then just dont do pvp till late game; everything they buy you are able to get you just gotta work for it enough
wow, i havent played this game since its release. Back then i thought it was the best looking game i had ever seen!
Meh , i started it 3 days ago and left already , selling stats in cash shop is just a big no to me .
Appreciate your effort though
they don't sell stats in shop just manastones and you can get manastones by just playing the game so that isn't pay to win so just give it a try
Brokenwingszzz I think he was talking also about the scrolls
yeah but you can get it by playing and aion sad that we will get them by events.
and if you want to see what you get out the scrolls you can watch sywo's video there he opens some and didn't get anything.
just give it a try and play the game don't be scared of the shop
Transformation Scrolls = Loot Box (for gear) = Pay To Win
U are both new players one guy buying scrolls and mana stones and all the boosts and the other isnt lets say u both played 20h total and then meet in pvp no fkn chance the guy with out paying gnna have a slight chance even....so yea its p2w....and the argument u gnna have whats he has in a year of playing is bonkers
I play since 3.0 this video is basic but i still watched it till the end because i love you're vids and i learn a lot
Templar is easy? joke? you are a leader on instances 100% times with randoms and , depends on premade sometimes some one other leads, but mostly you lead instances, you need focus on dps and suport at same time , for example dredgions you atack enemy players but also watch your party members to give shields/bg/heal i saved many asses , also you do low dmg in pvp so you need think how to use what to kill enemy, i dont agree about that temp is easy so much.
It's Sywo Stars.. not Community Stars. Remember.
I believe he said that difficulty ranking because of the easiness of understanding the class for someone new. Templars dont have a lot of skills and its easy to guess were each skill is useful to use.
The butthurt is strong.
templar is one of the hardest classes in the game
I think the term "easy to pick up and difficult to master" has really always applied to templar. As cosmoskymasterall says, templar skills are pretty self explanatory and it's easy to know when and where to use them. The mastery of the class comes in far later and there are many more variables that play into it.
Only thing that matters in pvp is how much p2w you are willing to spend, money = gear = winning pvp
Sywo you forgot to say one thing about Glads
Gladiator can use also other weapons besides Dual (dagger+sword mainly PvE) and Polearm (PvE and PvP), this class can also use the following:
*Bow (mainly to stun the enemy which is far away from you or simply using some ranged class in PvP ofc)
*Greatsword (not every Gladiator used to have a Greatsword in the previouws patches but having it can help) i don't recommend this weapon in PvP because you will have less damage and remember that Glad is an AOE BEAST, but you can use it in PvE...again less damage but in PvE Dual is the main thing, you can use Greatsword when you switch weapons just for few sec instead of Polearm, up to you.
Hi Ryu, ure right yeah.
In that case I also didnt mention that sins can bow and clerics can staff, rangers can dual weild for surkanas :D
Thank God for 6.x, all of these are not gonna matter soon enough
Infact i mentioned only the one that still "matter" a little :D
@@Ryugan_ appreciated
@Ryugan Dual-Whield is shit in this patch for Glads
Yup, in previous patches "Attack" was the primary stats for all physical classes and played a huge role in autoattacks, thus making weaving the most important skill to learn. In 6.x we have "Weapon Attack" and "Physical Attack". Weapon attack is responsible for the damage dealt in autoattacks and is seen useless as enchanting anything does not increase that stat anymore. Physical attack on the other hand is responsible for the damage dealt when using skills but no effect on autoattacks.
Also I'd also mention that with this the "Dps ladder" also shifter a bit. Sorc is still the first, sin can be second although i think that spiritmasters and dps clerics are sharing that spot. Ofcourse this is true if we're talking about single target dps...
Cleric can do a lot of dps if you have a good dps gear, maybe top 3 dps class if you mainly dps. I'm still not 100% sure about this last patch but until now I was able to do good dps aswell in 6.2.
Can you make a video on stigmas ?
'classes are very well balanced' totally agreed
Bullshits. Gear is not classes.
Been a long time since I played Aion, gladiator & ranger used to be my favorites, migh dl the game yet again
a good video as excepted, keep up the content syw!
I used to play as Spirit Master for 3 years until 5.0 and I think it was best single target dps in game. Never attacked with spirits... I hope you are wrong to say now is not a good dps, because I plan to return... XD.
In DPS Meter him DPS is in a middle of scale.. With Bards, Sorcs, Rangers and Gunners.
Aion Highlights - Saku lol@sorcs being in the middle of the scale. and no SMs won't ever be the best single target DPS but they can potentially do very good DPS, just 95% won't get higher than sorcs or sins
Linda A sorry but I can't see that.. It's big lie. Sorry, this is real..
@sywo Sorry but i misunderstood ... Summons do tons of dmg now... they are booster not nerfed ...
Artists, bards? Did the go back on Muse and Song Weaver? My SW dealt major DPS when I played. Been about a year now, but if you're built right, with right gear and enchants, SW are quite powerful. I could solo many mobs others couldn't. So if you want an all around bad ass toon, pick SW.
SM top 6... SW do damage a little bit lol, on pve SM is the most op he's the only one that can 1v1 bosses
love your videos, helped me a lot when i was playing aion but don't hide that classes are still unbalance with same items (no rezists or something (cleric sets))
Been playing assassin for 7 years, im still ass
its not you, its your ping XD
Haha
Same
Its your ping and the class is weak in general compared to others.
As a europen player will you recommend to play on eu version of game or Ba version ? What are pros and cons between the clients? Sorry I’m new to your channel sorry if you covered it already somewhere else.
Also is there dungeon matches ? Like in tera for example for instances ?
I don't think I'll ever get back into Aion, not because it's bad or anything it's amazing, but because the only two classes I like are completely boring to play. Gunslinger is just do the same thing with different buttons while Assassin requires Mark setup that just isn't my style. Now, Blade and Soul? Those classes are A+ except fuck Destroyer.
On the topic of bards (Songweavers in NA), my friend mains one and can out dps me as a sorc. The only difference between us is that their armor is enchanted very heavily. I know that overall a sorc can do more dps but it's unusual hearing that a bard (Songweaver) is on the bottom tier for dps.
Pretty sure if the sorc spams freezing wind, he'd have some better dps than bard.. depends on the gear I suppose!
@@LukeD02 NA still has 5.8 and my friend has a +15 weapon, I have a +10 orb. Their armor is all at least +5 mine isn't even +1.
@@siaviclark3550 Odd. Bard shouldn't outdps a sorcerer if the sorc spams freezing wind and knows how to maintain their mana with the same gear.
@@LukeD02 keep in mind that I said their gear is more enchanted. Also, spamming a singular move seems like a horrible way to play a class
@@siaviclark3550 I really doubt upping your pve gear will have THAT big of an impact, especially if it's only +5. And yeah, you're right it's boring af
Hello Sywo, thanks for the constant updates through your videos and the passion that you share for the game. You got me all hyped again. But one simple question, can you tell us how to make kinah in this new patch? Since the kinah system has changed and many previous kinah have turned into gold bars. I am a bit confused.
Quick question: on which servers can you meet such an amazing community? I would like to join 😅
Deyla server on europe
so sad that templars got nerfed... all my buffs last 10 seconds instead of 30, prayer of victory gives only 2600 hp when the squishiest class in beginning gear has 40k, totally useless. also lost many of the dps skills and even air change got replaced with some shit that is reducing dmg even more... i feel like they just killed templars.
its why i reroll.....im agree with you
Wait for 6.5 Guys! This will be repaired!
considering how they've been overtuned for the last 2 patches...this is WAY overdue, probably a lot closer to where they should be, only a slight increase needed - as is being added in 6.5
If I have some money to invest on the game, where should I spend my aion coins? Goldpacks only? Or should I simply camp at the broker untill I see what its worth and what not?
Hey, do you think assassin is still a viable class in 6.2? Seems weaker than previous patch but tbh i haven't gotten the gear yet. Just asked to know if i should reroll ^^
Will having alts be beneficial in classic? I'm thinking of maining Assassin & alting Chanter/Gladiator. I'm going to play casually & might not get the best gear on time for a long time. Is there a beneficial reason to play alts up to cap lvl?
I played this years ago and quit after doing dungeons and NEVER getting any loot drops. Was a waste of my time. No Idea how it is now but I don't like pay to win
Which Aion server you are in? Aion EU or Aion NA?
Sywo, I dont know if its worth playing. The transformation scroll thing is sad. Any advice? Good video btw
Sywo you shouldve tell the people that if youre experienced as a cleric its the 1v1 god class now. Noone can kill them and they deal huge dmg
Nothing is impossible, just do it!!
Hey Sywo in the 6.2 you played in KR or EU, the enchant lvl for stigmas required for extra slots is +6 or still +9?
Jon Seinto +9 stigma gives 2 slots, +6 doesn't give any
I'm seriously thinking about going back to Guild Wars 2 because this new 6.0 update took away Attack spd and mov spd scrolls and they want you to dump real money into cash shop to buy some stupid RNG transformation scrolls to get those stats back! I loved this game but this patch is crap! Aion is too expensive now! T_T
Great video
did ranger get changed ba a lot in 6.0? i dont get how ranger is easy... it actually is one of the hardest classes lol
It's easy :D I remember I rolled one in the past for the lolz and beat a guy in a duel like a breeze. He had abyss gear and I had no clue how to play, just knew to kite and kill :D Of course, we were in our lvl 30s, and it was quite many years ago, but gives laughs until now "Remember that time when your green-ass noob Lalu ranger beat my gg abyss char?" xD
18:24 - when you describe a class that you despise it :P
Sywo, I'm a more pve player (did all classes already) but never found the class that suits me the most...(played from lvl 55 cap till tiamat's stronghold patch... Then came back now to still getting stuck with classes....) Do you have any tips for me? c.c
Hi Sywo!
I am one of those new players in North America. I wanted to play a dual wielding gladiator, but after listening to your video, it seems we need to know a lot of stuff to get good at it, and I was wondering if I shouldn't go with 2 handed weapons instead. Do you have any suggestions of guide for gladiators, or would you be willing to do class specific videos on how to play them well? That would be super useful.
Thank you very much!
Gladiators main weapon is polearm you cant change that. Dual wielding is just for style.
at first i thought the movie icon shows a chick wielding the stinky finga xD
between a chanter and a bard, what is the class that is better to do stuff and questing/leveling by yourself?
Hm. Probably Songweaver: you have ranged dps, heal, sleep, magicka heal,.... Though I think Chanter is WAAAAY more fun, because I enjoy meelee
Sywo, I really love and appreciate your informative Vids. But can you please make a Vid or some kind of tips how to get money without real paying for stuff to sell it in the broker? I am a returning player, Aion almost took all of my Kinah from me (currently at 9 million) and I struggle to get my Stigmas since the prices in the broker are just stupidly high. I can't see any way to compete with other Templars on my server since I'm stuck with Stigmas that aren't useful in their combination anymore.
3:20 "PvP in Aion is not about what class you pick"
I strongly disagree. There is such a thing as match-ups. One class will have a disadvantage depending on which class they're fighting. A ranger can still beat a templar, but it's a highly uphill battle for the ranger. Songweavers can still lose, but considering how many match-ups they have an advantage in, songweavers will still have the ADVANTAGE in a 1v1 fight.
There are tons of factors that affect the outcome of a fight, from ping to keybind skill. Knowledge of the match-up, however, is definitely one of those factors, so PvP in Aion is absolutely about what class you pick.
ye and a cleric destroys everything thats nice
I think it's for the heals. A sorcerer can throw at you every single rotation he had and you'll just heal up the damage done. That's why xd
I disagree; clerics have good burst dps and heals, but that's about it. Their crowd control is awful, and they are weak in the mana regen department. Songweaver vs cleric - a matchup where clerics get completely wrecked - is probably one of the most unbalanced matchups in the entire game.
Clerics don't by any means destroy everything.
@@Baryonyx89 Idk what you mean? I have 0:0 or won vs bards multiple times.
First you get about 50-60% mana if u use ur regen skills (that have max. 1 min cd) and 2nd u get 20% mana every 5 sec by using the pot u can buy.
So i never ran out of mana
You should be getting CC'd, mana drained, and silence-buried every 30-ish seconds in a 1v1 against a songweaver. There are many inexperienced songweavers who only know how to DPS, but should you go up against a songweaver who knows how to CC, mana drain, and fight you in a war of attrition, you will 100% lose even with a big gear difference.
If you were here a couple years ago and watched Funkeln vs BBaron, the one-sided nature of this matchup should be apparent to you.
How farm kinah???
Thanks for the video
Whens NA relaunch 6.0 ?
i picked Inquisitor... oh wait, that's Rift
Did you say spiritbastard? :D
🤣 Sounded like it to me.
As a new player, Why Asmodian?
because dark maps, rude armors skins are better, they are cool black wings, they turn on his eyes on flames when combat thats unique
@@darkranbeerhunter6104 much edge
I miss 2012 aion
Sywo u r wrong , SM is OP. Best 1v1 pvp class is SM without questioning
you forgot about SW? "rounded" op class, pve,pvp 1 v 1,2,3
I'm sm. After 6.0, sm dmg is insane, now I'm enjoying playing. With pve gear easy to kill other classes even with PvP gear.
@@Michelo5697 I am SW player. Kinda "pro" at it , but of course not the best. At 6.0 , they made it slightly worse , some skills dissappeared , 2 of them were essential at PVP. One skill was kinda nurfed for PVP. Yes , SW is good at everything in game. But only good. SW is not best option in amything for the game. Always a class that at the middle in any part of game. In my opinion.
@@LIFE-tb8ii They made SM even much more stronger ? I can't believe this :(
I disagree. Generally, people consider Songweavers as the best 1v1 pvp class. They have a CC wombo combo that's better than sorcerers', the best war of attrition skills in the game, high DPS, and on-demand silence/bind.
SMs on the other hand are the best CCers in the game; that's about it. If you can survive a fear lock from an SM, you've already won the fight, and songweavers with their cleanses and war of attrition skills are more than capable of doing that.
hi sywo. can u explain genesis crystal quest and how or where must farm that? THX
Didnt you stop playing?
you should talk about how expensive are each classes i therms of gearing. like gunner aethercannon (fusion)+ 2 guns to enchant .
HEY SYWO GREETINGS FROM CHILE, I HAVE A QUESTION., IS IT BETTER CREATE YOUR CLASS FROM SCRATH O KEEP YOUR OLD CHAR ?. I PLAY IN THE NA SERVER, SRY FOR CAPS
hi man, love back to Chile! well with these drop rates and enchantment rates we have in EU and NA, it's better if you focus on 1 class, sadly :D
sure you can have alts and start from scratch, but don't expect to get good gear on other chars also
Is this the NCSoft version of Aion, or the Gamforge one? I noticed there are two different ones out there to play.
There is the KR (korean) the EU(Europe) the NA (North America) pick the one to your region.
Please show your adjusted chain skills
i hope aion relaunched as a mobile game, like Dragon Nest and Ragnarok, coz im really waiting for it. it was the best game iv'e ever played.
Never face a Cleric as a Tampler :D
Can someone tell me what they know or think about sorcerer in patch 6.0 to 6.5 please?
I know they have the highest dps but how are they in pvp?
last time i played this, i never once won against warrior with my archer in 1v1. we both have end game gears. i wonder how is it now?
dont blame the gear when you lack in skill mate.and no ranger or a good one that is will ever ever face an enemy face to face you just dont have enough sustain to do so unlike gladiators so have you asked yourself that maybe you only suck thats why you cant beat glads in pvp
thank you for the great info, I am using a gunner class in tera and I find it great, so guest what I going to pick in aion, lol.
Hello
I really enjoy a lot the content you provide in this channel it my favorite
But you forgot to mention how difficulty you rate the spirtmaster because I want to know your raiting
Thank you for your good work and keep it up
4-5/5, manage pet, control excess mobs, unload all the dots(i wouldnt, its too annoying and would feel botty like ff14), try not to ogle tempest summon
does it worth playing aion without gold pack? i played on NA, didnt need that there, but im losing patience for their update so im interested in EU version.
It really isn't that hard to get a gold pack every month.
Aion would do more fun with legendary transformations ... i play now 5 years and have 12/17? ancients ... 99% of the classes are not nice with only a ancient transformation but i dont wanna pay money for special luck boxes :/ so I play 1-2months and then i paused it 4-5 months
but I wanna say to you: i am not good in listening english but you talk so slow that i understand every setences without subtitles! :D i like you
Hi all hi sywo. I'm looking just now to the new AION 6.x release and I'm a bit confuse. I still have my old account with my old templar in Delya (pretty sure it wasn't event Delya before, i believe it has been moved). The question is: to enter the 6.0 patch all I have to do is download again the client from gameforge, install the game and I can get back my templar in AION 6? I fell I'm missing something...help? Thanks
No, you didn't missed something, that's it.
Great vid again! Thx for your work :)
i come from d&d neverwinter i quited like 4 months ago. im in a drepression after being hyped for bless rofl , i can deal with p2w/p2progress . any old d&d players wanne share their feelings bout aion? think i will like it?
U will get a bigger depression from Aion sadly. Its in a horrible state atm
Aion is the best game you couldve choose. Just play it its amazing af
You should try it out and judge for yourself honestly.
playing atm , welp it dint want to make me quit right away so thats great:p
@@ningate8024 What class are you trying out?
Hows the game changed? I gave up back when we could get to kill Berita.
what version was burrito?
ive returned myself, and holy hell, the stripped the amount of quests needed to level to barely 20% of 2.0, and crafting and gathering starts at level 80, which takes a week or 2, depending on if your doing with a party(or im just doing it slow)
and then the painter came...
Just quit BDO a week ago and I'm looking for an mmo to play long term. I've never played Aion before. Is it worth playing it?
I personally think so, but it's best to give it a shot for a while to see if it's worth it for you or not. I played it for a long time then had to stop due to school taking up some time. I just got back into it and still love it, so it's worth it for me.
hey what game are you playing now? im thinking to give ESO a try
Do yourself a favour and play Aion on a private server such as "gamez aion"..... More populated than retail and the option to skip gear grinds.... You will never enjoy Aion without maxed gear +15 with a full stack or balance of mana stones....And yes Sorc at top tier is dominant with enough MR
2:30
Sounds like Bard xD
new player downloading now
I have a question, where can i find the stigma drops? I want spesific stigma skills but I can only find them on broker
Don't misinterpret me but what are those difficulty ratings for? Glad has 4,5 stars but an SM has only 2? Not to mention Chanter and Templar have only 1,5 stars.
A good chanter can DPS and heal as well as buff persistently and efficiently, easy to learn, hard to master.
An SM needs to keep track of plenty of information in a fight and needs to time well a lot of his skills. Again, easy to spam buttons and hard to master. Glad is the same, easy to spam buttons, hard to master due to rotations.
All in all, aside from cleric and templar, you can just spam buttons and do DPS, but to do so efficiently is another completely different matter, be it PvP or PvE, and to do so it requires knowledge of your class and others as well, so those ratings seem way off for me as there is no "easy" or "hard" here. You can do bad, decently or exceptionally well on all classes, and none of them are that easy to master to the point of rating them 1 or 2 stars.
Apart from those ratings, the video itself is very good!
I play the class Scout , cause i like it.
