I'm so lost. All these guides just tell what skills do. Not what skills I should exchange for the default ones and what to focus on first. I love games like these but I'm horrible at them. I would like to end up with the demonic impulse playstyle but wouldn't mind leveling up with the suppression playstyle. I need steps to follow not a whole essay to read. This is not criticizing your video just a personal flaw I have. I'm casual like that. I still don't quite know what to do because i have zero patience with things like this. I do follow the story though not rushing it in the game.
Lvl 49 shadow hunter here. Looking forward to the demonic impulse path and got a few adjustments to make after seeing this guide (I haven’t even been using decimate). ThNks for the upload
Decimate will only be unlocked once you finish your first awakening questline (after you finish more of the story and unlock tier1), so don't worry about not having used it yet :)
5:42 you can turn while holding but not when firing, though you cant do a full 180 but small adjustment so you can hit your target if your off by a little bit
also, relax guys, this isn't a specific build video, its just a good explanation for how Shadowhunter works and a couple ways they can be played and pointing out some of the better abilities, etc.
@@KrakkenXXX ergo, an general explanation of how the job works and the ways it can be played, like I literally said. Who the hell is discussing the channels intention in releasing the video or giving props to the creator of this specific video? Not me. I have 0 clue what you're trying to add to my comment with your response
@@denimir12 if you play on demonic you are not very effective while human, so you need to focus on the transformation asap, ergo you need to concentrate on the skills that raise the bar.
I love playing shadowhunter and I'm really enjoying lost ark. I tried to get in to FF14 bc a lot of my friends started playing but it was just incredibly meh. The combat and gameplay in lost ark is so much better by a mile. It has been pleasantly surprising
thanks for the guide man, I just realize you're the one who also made the MHW Wiki lmao I always go to your site when I had questions regarding MHW, now I hope your help will be useful for Lost Ark as well.
hey i was thinking about running hallucination (lvl2 = 25% crit rate) + (30% from DI) with crit sub stat giving roughly 20% crit rate and ditching adrenaline and go DI/Grudge/Cursed Doll/Hit Master/KBW for engravings... do you think its a good idea? i would get around 75% crit rate. thanks for your feedback!
Awakening is like #6 on the list of engravings for demonic shadow hunter. #3-5 would be raid captain, sharp blunt, keen blunt weapon. Happy shadowhunting!!!
can I assign the demon abilities to the hotbar? I wanted to put them in a specific order but it seems I have to USE demon form to be able to manipulate the demon ability hot bar. That seems unintuitive
u can use unlimited resources in training room (trixon), figure out what order u want and assign them once next time u go into ur demon form outside the training room
@@lucretia6662 It’s a guide quest (Purple Icon Quest), it should have “Awakening” in the title. I believe it should just pop up once you’ve progressed enough
@@alex.r7125 It should pop up in your guide quest log once you reach lv50 and do a few main story quests in the North Vern city. Side note: The story quests will turn from Orange markers to Blue “World” markers. Once you have a ship (around lv40) just keep following the blue quests and you’ll get there eventually :)
I've been having a lot of issues lately staying alive during raids with my shadowhunter build. I am a fairly fresh (about two weeks in) lvl 50 and am currently equipment lvl 540. Any suggestions you might have for me would be most welcome Fex. Thanks.
I finally picked this as my MAIN class. One of biggest reasons was the skins that came with the Platinum Founders' Pack. Plus she's WAIFU...and her skillset feels so impactful. Can't wait to learn more! Thanks for the video!!
Shadowhunter is Not so Good at endgame would rather Play a pala or sorceress :) but if u would Stick to assasin you should Go for deathblade if you also Look for good pvp:)
Thanks for the video but this not guide i thibk. This is just demostration of skills.. Already we can see these at training grounds. Now which skill should be at what level and which propertis?
Can anyone answer this for me? It's oddly specific, but I'm wondering why in this video the demon form has long white hair? i started playing Shadowhunter expecting that, but my demon form doesn't have it?
You mention Demonic Slash increasing your attack/move speed when you hit enemies with it. But from what I’m seeing the “numbing effect” tripod applies a attack/move speed debuff to the enemy. Am I reading it wrong?
yes but the duration and the meter charge of demon form heavily rely on specialization and you need at least level 2 demonic impulse engraving to get the 15% crit rate. level 3 is better cause 30% crit rate. in t1 and t2 you can't have high specialization so the demon form don't last very long. you need high specialization for duration and to charge the meter fast(over 1,000), tripod in skills that give bonus to charge, and wealth runes that give 10-40% charge(10% for each higher rank). if you go with demon form the stats you need is critical+specialization in necklace and everything else specialization. in t1 demon form is not viable, in t2 it's semi viable(it lacks duration cause low specialization), and in t3 is at it's best cause you can have very high specialization to stay in demon form for more than 20 seconds
@@Raiju-tn8pr it 100 percent is viable ive been running it the same time, crushing mvps most of the time, though you are right is noticably better in t2 and I can only imagine how killer it will be in T3
when you upgrade your skills choose the upgrades that has to do with shadowburst meter gain, also after your demon transformation wears off you cant regenerate the meter for 30 seconds. This limitation disappears after you hit 50 and choose the demonic impulse clash engraving
a little confused with the attacks you have since im still early in the game. how do you have so many special attacks. Im pretty much using this build but only have 8 special attack slots to use.
demonic you mean demon form? if yes then you will need intrusion skills cause they have tripod that charge the demon form meter faster, and you only use the skills in human form to charge the meter to go in demon form. the skills in human form are not the main skills.
@@blondehaywire6119 Yeah I did on my phone but it didn't have the release date for some reason. I was also at work so I just figured id just ask and someone would help me. Thanks to Rosario's Life for helping me. It's much appreciated.
Striker, Wardancer, and Scrapper don't have an identity. they lack an actual identity skill and you just cast skills from the skill bar like any other class.
Excellent video. Tells you everything you need to know. Primary stats. Where to put engravings. Some people need their hands held ig based on this comments section.
OK, this is me saying hey I suck and would have liked a tighter guide, like hey I suggest these 8-9 skills and this is how you become a demon fastest. Now having said that it is still my current desire. But, with the engravings, being always a demon sounds cool, but so does the idea of always being a human and just doing all the human things better. LOL, I think I just busted the idea of having just 9 skills and being told how to use them the best :) Still, being new and being knocked down like was it 3 or maybe 4 times in the city of the salt flats and having to kill a demon boss not once, or twice, or even three times but 4 times, wow. I want to say by round 4 I was a little better, but I'm not really sure I even agree, and I used my demon form just to get to the demon fight. Anyway, I hope I can take the skills and tips shared here to get excited and get back in.
There are far more points used here than you have at lvl 50 & more abilities than we have slots.. This isn't so much a "build" as "Things you will want to max, if you use them", surely?
@@blondehaywire6119 not for me, I hate and find melee classes boring except shadow hunter ( demon), my favorite three classes are summoner, artillerist, and shadowhunter.
Assassina need a giant scythe advanced class. A bit more AoE, and go with a blood theme instead of shadows. If this exists in the eastern version of the game im sorry. Lol.
Suppression literally outright disables your ability to transform? That’s so obnoxious. I’d much rather use that one than focus on the transformation but you’re gonna take away my ability to use something outright? How awful
You cant benefit from Demonic Impulse properly unless you have it at as a lvl 2 engraving, so its not like you can use it out the gate, youll have to grind for the uncommon and rare books for it (or buy them if youre lazy), while suppression is viable for you at lvl 1. It disables your transformation but all your abilities do way more damage since theyll use the demonic gauge to essentially “buff” your abilities. If look on KR servers theres no clear cut class engraving thats better than the other.

you can have both, BUT you can't equip both at the same time, because one disable the other!
Luckily you can replace skill points with no penalty. So just experiment and set hot keys to your preferences to combo nicely

@@aadfw9964 perfect suprpression build doens't allow you to go into demon form which would defeat the whole purpose of playing demonic.
In my opinion this is a "Lets take the Lost-Ark-Hype clicks" Guide. It more feels like a good class preview than a real guide.

Complete glass canon shadow hunter engravings is. Demonic impulse 3, keen blunt weapon, adrenaline and spirit absorption for a little dazzle dazzle.
May i ask why my demonic slash doesn’t have excellent movement ?
It shows Damage amplification, master of evasion and enhance strike
Hey I don't have the "Excellent Mobility" option on my Demonic Slash, did they change this at one point?
same
hey i was thinking about running hallucination (lvl2 = 25% crit rate) + (30% from DI) with crit sub stat giving roughly 20% crit rate and ditching adrenaline and go DI/Grudge/Cursed Doll/Hit Master/KBW for engravings... do you think its a good idea? i would get around 75% crit rate. thanks for your feedback!
What about engravings other than the class ones, which ones are good for shadowhunter? i'm thinking Awakening might be a good one?
I have adrenaline and it seems really good
Awakening is like #6 on the list of engravings for demonic shadow hunter. #3-5 would be raid captain, sharp blunt, keen blunt weapon. Happy shadowhunting!!!
im using Grudge 3 (+20% damage against bosses) , cursed doll 3 (+16% damage) , and demonic impulse 1 (so you dont get the debuff after using z)
start with adrenaline if you are demonic impulse
can I assign the demon abilities to the hotbar? I wanted to put them in a specific order but it seems I have to USE demon form to be able to manipulate the demon ability hot bar. That seems unintuitive

@@zyjen1338 nice, thanks for that.
i played this class as y main in ru, tried to go wardancer for eu bt soon had to go bk to my fave assasin
Quick question, I'm currently looking through my skills and I don't see "Decimate". Was this excluded from the Western release for some reason?
Never mind I found it. You receive a Decimate book through the Awakening quest that you’ll go through once you get to North Vern.

Thanks for the video!!
Can i know how u got the demonic skin with white hair ?
This is the class the interest me the most. How is it in the end game?
All classes are viable endgame. So if you like it and play it well, it works.
I've Shadowhunter on my main and he is very nice. Everytime on Raids mvp

It seems to be the opposite of your character's. Mine has white hair and goes black in demon mode
@@elipajo I tried it on a black hair character and it stayed black
You're the man, Fex. Thanks!
Hello new player here. Is this guide it's still updated?
I went this class because I like the lore behind it dispite it not being my best play style
You mention Demonic Slash increasing your attack/move speed when you hit enemies with it. But from what I’m seeing the “numbing effect” tripod applies a attack/move speed debuff to the enemy. Am I reading it wrong?
no, he is wrong.
A lot of the "recommended" tripods here are wrong.
I'll never play anything else this just looks so fcking awesome
Cool, but where’s the build?
hey guys, any tip to get the blue engravement for classes? trying to get demonic impulse to lvl 2 but cant find more than i already have
Don't you get them from abyss dungeons?
I can feel the inner demon calling me. Thank you for helping me channel that power more efficiently.
Theres no way you take yourself seriously saying that shit
@@NorthernHarker There's no way you took an old meme seriously.
i heard you can be a demon almost 100% of the time, is it true? how?

yes but the duration and the meter charge of demon form heavily rely on specialization and you need at least level 2 demonic impulse engraving to get the 15% crit rate. level 3 is better cause 30% crit rate. in t1 and t2 you can't have high specialization so the demon form don't last very long. you need high specialization for duration and to charge the meter fast(over 1,000), tripod in skills that give bonus to charge, and wealth runes that give 10-40% charge(10% for each higher rank). if you go with demon form the stats you need is critical+specialization in necklace and everything else specialization. in t1 demon form is not viable, in t2 it's semi viable(it lacks duration cause low specialization), and in t3 is at it's best cause you can have very high specialization to stay in demon form for more than 20 seconds

I'm not sure if it's been asked but can you customize the demon form visually?
no
how do you increase the rate of the ultimate ability to charge up quicker for this class?
when you upgrade your skills choose the upgrades that has to do with shadowburst meter gain, also after your demon transformation wears off you cant regenerate the meter for 30 seconds. This limitation disappears after you hit 50 and choose the demonic impulse clash engraving
did no-one else notice that he pronounced "Naively" Honest incorrectly. nostril honesty bois. speak honestly thru da nose XD
ps: very helpful thanks
This is not a guide at all, it just describes what skills it has. I Needed to know what skill points to put as i progress, hence building.
Really useful video man thanks a lot
Very good video bro
a little confused with the attacks you have since im still early in the game. how do you have so many special attacks. Im pretty much using this build but only have 8 special attack slots to use.

Striker, Wardancer, and Scrapper don't have an identity. they lack an actual identity skill and you just cast skills from the skill bar like any other class.
yes, and they do way more damage, cause the skills on skillbar ( use the identity gauge )
other classes don't need to charge anything to do high damage. you just press the skill in the skill bar and boom: high damage. *cough sorceress

My friend is sourcerer n can use that as skill.
You need to finish the main story and then do the awakening quest chain from Beatrice
I dont think the decimate skill exists?
It does but you don't get it until you get your awakening its a "hidden" ability
You get it after you get your boat and do some missions in North Vern. You'll see a purple mission near the adventurer guild.
