“Troll-stav” is the current way to destroy Ashland fortresses from within, summon trolls inside it to clean the place before even entering. You can also use them to destroy dverger strongholds without making them hostile towards you,yes the dverger won't attack you, they will focus only on the trolls XD
Ok, look, I was kinda worried for a sec about the ashlands, but then you came and told me I can get giant skely troll bros, and my inner necromancer perked up like a cold breeze in the chest!
I love the trollstav, everything else though makes almost no sense in terms of upgrades, since they are either equal in power to or weaker than the mistlands staves.
I agree, imagine grinding for dozens of hours just to get weapons that are inferior to the ones that came before lol The Staff of the Wild and the Troll Staff need to buffed While the Staff of fracturing and Drundr need to be completely replaced with superior weapons If they don’t fix this I’m probably gonna drop valheim
staff of the wild weak?! It's absolutely broken and op. It's a game changer. gives you safety, cc, massive dmg, aoe and on top of that relieves some of the aggro from you. I think they buffed it a lot in the final release.
Dundr underperforms badly, imo. Staff of embers is just superior in literally every way, even if Ashlands enemies resist the burn effect (note: staff of embers impact damage is considered blunt, so you still hit the charred pretty hard, even if they don't burn for nearly as much after that). Still waiting for my spirit damage staff...
I used the “Troll-stav” on a goblin village. I felt like an evil sorcerer after seeing the goblins getting massacred. I also kind of felt sorry for them because they got slaughtered by the giant walking undead trolls 💀
Im a trolstav, ice staff, and staff of protection type of guy... i go into a putrid hole, summon a troll and use the ice staff to have him put the lotion on the skin if he gets too out of control.
@razorhunter5571 no he definitely could've added a pinned comment with the reworks done(the staff of fracturing seems to have gotten a buff by looking at this videos numbers but it's still mediocre) I'm just letting you know the video is out of date
I would be so happy if they would make all Capes protect from Night Cold and only have Wolf and Lox protect from "Freezing" condition. The change to the Feather Cloak has made night time movement through the Mistlands just that much less enjoyable. Not overly impressed with the new magic and was truly hoping they would delve a little into a level system and talent tree so we could specialize in either of the 3 general play styles; melee, ranged, magic use. And the inventory is still lacking so badly with having to carry extra Meads to deal with everything in the Ashlands and having so many new materials to pick up. It feels very chaotic with the lower respawn timer there as these mobs are constantly showing up, backed up by Voltures and progress across the landscape is a painfully slow crawl at best for me anyhow.
Also for those saying the staffs are underpowered - You're not wrong, however I think contextual use is important too. I grinded this game on solo all the way up to the Ashlands boss and then started a new file with only magic gear and food, and not only is it a blast, when your magic stats are leveled and you're somewhere like the Mistlands or Ashlands, you do an impressive amount of damage. The caveat is that if you're gonna play with magic, you basically may as well settle on using entirely just magic gear; trying to stay balanced between magic and melee strats and skills will very quickly turn this game into a souls-like
I definitely feel like the staff of the wilds is a slept on weapon. It is especially useful against most of the ashlands enemies but finding chokepoints between stone valleys. It just does massive damage especially to large groups of enemies.
yeah it's a weird choice. My guess is it was originally going to be a blood weapon, potentially even taking health from the wielder to reload, then they realised they didn't have a "storm" staff and just pivotted but didn't change the requirements. Given the synergy between blood magic (using health) and blood weapons - it would have been cool having a weapon that can tank your health low with some pushback for safety, and then you bubble and smash things like a two-handed blood sword for massive damage.
Thank you! Was waiting for your videos. It would be helpful if you can do a video on melee weapons and if they are even worth it given you can't upgrade them fully compared to Mistland weapons
Im all over all the new stuff. Just gotta give me the time to test it all. Be sure to sub and hit the noti button so you know when those new vids drop.
Well idk about melee weapons but the new bow/crossbow with the nature element is really nice. 15% chance to root the enemy in place so you can keep shooting from a distance.
You can dig your way into the center collom to gain entry and exit easily I am not sure about the outer walls but I will try and find out if you can. Hope this helps.
I haven´t managed to pixaxe under it but the corners of the middle tower are destroyable with a pickaxe and then you can mine under there and loot the inside.
@@ElMariachi2004 the first one I went to, I could get under the inner core. They must have patched it cause I did another 1 yesterday and it wasn't possible.
Yes it is and the wall was so hard, it took for me to hit it around 40times with black metal pickaxe level 2, but it was totally worth it, and i got 2 molter core inside the inner wall, and build a stone portal, and im so happy with it, finnaly we can portal metal and other stuff😂
Nah, the skeletons w/shields from staff of protection are your defense as a mage, skellys run interference, tlanf there damage scales with blood magic, my skill is at 86, and they hit for over 100 damage, and can even survive 2 hits from seeker soldiers even without shields. And skeletons also work as enemy detection, they've stopped me from being abused many times They can also help keep the new troll skeletons off you once they are done murdering your enemies ;D
no, honestly pairing the dead raiser with the blood shield one is honestly still very strong, the ashlands as a whole is genuinely very underwhelming, especially the weapons
Yeah ngl these Magic weapons are disappointing. Like the troll staff is cool but it’s stupid that they can hurt you, staff of the Wild is ok too But the staff of fracturing is literally the staff of embers but not nearly as good. You do slightly more damage but lose A LOT more range. And the dundr does barley any damage. A lighting magic weapon should be a staff that fires a large lightning bolt or something Very disappointing, if you’re gonna make the weapons grindy to get then at least make them worth getting 🤦♂️ like if the deep north weapons are like this then my friends and I are dropping Valheim lmao
Can confirm, you can dig under the center tower. You can't dig under the outer walls, though(I got in by simply piling dirt up and jumping). You can also build within the walls surprisingly. I was expecting "a mysterious force stops you", but no it's free real estate 😂
L take on staff of the wild, if you're good at kiting enemies it's a fantastic weapon for open areas, especially when you're fighting multiple mobs. Best use is to put a couple down as you run around and then pull out the staff of fire for direct damage while you get A LOT of bonus passive damage
OR, I could just run up with Mistwalker and 2 shot just about all of these things...Magic is a joke in this game right now. They seem intent on punishing people or using it.
Here's what they should do to the dundr: remove movement speed, increase charge time, then triple the damage and slightly reduce the spread. I want this thing to stagger every enemy
It's actually 120 blunt and 138 fire damage for a max level staff of embers. The staff of fracturing blows up into 12 smaller fireballs dealing basically 120 blunt and 120 fire (same as an un-upgraded staff of embers). The utility that it gains over the staff of embers is that it can do more fire tick damage, however it won't be a substantial difference. Honestly don't even know why they put it in the game. Like if we didn't have the staff of embers I'd be glad to have it, but considering we do, I just can't find a good reason to justify using the staff of fracturing over it. The only really good use I've found for it, is that they are ridiculously cheap and easy to craft, so they're really good for corpse runs, plus you can just throw it on the ground when you get your body back.
@@BeezerGutlr another good use for it, since each fireball counts as a hit you can level up really fast. but you should hit the initial fireball to the target so most small fireball will hit the target. Another disadvantage of it: it's not good at crowds, despite what it seems it's a single target weapon, ambers is still better for crowd control
If you type in the command console in game. Devcommands Debugmode Then outside of that hit the "B" key you will remove the crafting demands for items, letting quickly craft, upgrade and repair gear on the move letting you play with most items. From there you can type "spawn (insert food/potion) (insert quantity) to spawn x number of whatever chosen food or potion
yea staff of the wild is now my new main dps weapon. and staff of troll is the wild card, just got it and its not super effective in combat, but a lot of fun. the initial meteor is verry usefull to mine out copper and probably anything else that requier pickaxe. got a full copper node 100% including all the stuff under the terrain, (used the build cam mod to confirm that) with only 3 summons, a well placed one might oneshot the whole thing.
It's the coolest staff in the Ashland update. A summon so strong that you can't control it, and you're using it when the odds are stacked against you to turn against the tide
@@muttonswordI’d agree, but with the amount of enemies that gang up on you in this game, it’s silly to summon something that eventually attacks you too
Firespark know nothing about the game,he only upload video for views and like.all the tips he give are for a randome guy buying the game for the first time and don't understand nothing

The dundr needs to be replaced by a magic weapon that does lighting correctly. Like a Staff of Lightning, that fires a massive bolt from the sky or something

Facts doing a mage run rn
inventory space is abysmal and all new mage weapons are kind of meh... ember staff and frost staff still seem to be better
But can the troll staff can be used to mine copper and silver.. spawn one for an on demand club troll. Sounds useful

Completely agree, was shocked he said that staff of the wild was weak. It’s so good
@@iatethebeans1033 the best staff in ashland for dps
Shotgun lighting staff made with the bloodstone gem? You would think it would use the blue one

If u drop into the center building of the fortress u can dig out under the wall
you can pickaxe under the second wall of the fortress after u jump the walls with a build ;)
