Arena PvP Commentary #1: Assassin vs Destroyer [Commentary] | Blade And Soul

[@SolstafirAquilaria]

This is exactly the sort of video that I've been wanting to see. The pausing and explaining what's going on as you did is immensely helpful for me as a new Assassin player. Fantastic job :)

[@placeboing]

Nice to see you in this game!

[@Teldo]

+placeboing Thanks, really enjoying the game so far!

[@Wardling]

Yeah man your commentary is really great, im learning a lot. definately

[@maxdg6504]

Fantastic Job dude! Keep it up!

[@petermontalbano5937]

This was sweet, as a new assassin I was looking for an in depth guide for different matchups. Keep em comin!

[@dakota.heiserman]

The best English commentary pvp content I've seen so far! Hope you're able to keep it up as we head toward Hongmoon levels soon on BnS West!

[@sciencethygod]

Also with a lot of people been watching you since Team Para, I love how well you explain your thought process in your fights. And well you did a fantastic job against that Destroyer. I would recommend the knock up bomb vs most classes that extra CC it gives is rather nice, and the blind from your stealth 3 is pretty strong, I'm still 50/50 with which c is better, I find both useful in there own ways. my own personal preference is getting either T3 darkstrike or the lightning one, for extra burst, I rarely use that stun anyways. I've been playing around 1 point in time bomb, the daze can set up some nice highwire combo, very situational but it can surprise people. I learn't quite a few little nit bits from your style of play that I would like to add to my own style. keep on keeping Teldo!

[@Teldo]

+Science Leponi Thank you very much!

[@c1jersey]

Teldo!!! So nice to see you in this game! I've played against you and watched your videos in early GW2 days. I'm currently maining Destroyer and unfortunately not much content on destros atm. Can't wait to see more videos from you though.

[@stanhofman5646]

Absolutely loving your BnS videos, very informative and really helping me understanding the Assassin (kind of suck with him). Keep the vids up dude!

[@astralaris8712]

Thanks for the good commentary its really cool to hear you explaining or comment!

[@kingbane2]

this was very informative. i very much like how you explain what the enemy does.

[@Bel-ex6wb]

I love the commentaries, they help a lot. Thank you!!

[@DBestization]

really good commentary

[@Teldo]

+Etienne Urbain-Racine Thank you very much!

[@tsabowar]

Really nice explanation of the game, as a Destroyer it's interesting to see how you deal with my abilities :)

[@x1LuCkySob]

Been looking for a Sin main, gonna watch all your vids, thanks for this.

[@jaredjordan8419]

I've been following you ever since the start of team paradigm and the content continues to be great

[@Teldo]

+Jared Jordan That means the world to me, thank you!

[@Lithurin]

Amazing commentary thanks for uploading this and your other BnS vids, only just started in this game and it is pretty unlike any pvp I've ever played so these are really helpful

[@Teldo]

+Simon McCaffery Thanks a lot

[@scundeaiasmin5110]

I`m a big stealth class fan in any game that has the option, this game is really good, and thanks to you mate I learned alot of assassin tips and tricks, keep up the good work. Btw, subscribed

[@JuanGarcia-gk7kl]

I really dont know why you dont have more subscribers man. Your videos are so good.

[@Teldo]

+Juan Garcia Thanks, this means a lot to me! I will keep up regular videos and try to improve upon them everytime. Maybe we'll get there one day. : ) Your support already helps a ton.

[@krelle22]

nicely played :D couldn't listen to the commentary cause im at school atm. (well i'll definitely have to listen to this once i get home)

[@ricardodasilva1285]

great video, gave me insight on how to deal with destroyers, keep it up man.

[@gettcouped]

love these videos. I main neither of these classes, but it doesn't matter because of how much I am learning about both classes. thank you.

[@Teldo]

+GettCouped That's great to hear!

[@embejeden]

great idea with this pause/play + commentary vid! hope to see more (and other classes also;)) soon!

[@Teldo]

+miChał B. Thanks, I'm pretty happy with this format I think and I'm very glad that you guys enjoy it, too!

[@bigpopsgaming8106]

Grats man! Doing good! I really like this style of edit and commentary. =) Definitely feels like a teaching video to help others become better at their class. haha screaming like a little girl right here! I love that dude. I have been doing live recording of myself doing summoner 1v1. And you get to hear and see me scream like a girl! Keep up the videos man! Thanks!

[@Teldo]

+Big Pops Gaming! Thanks a lot :) I'm trying to make it easy to understand for everyone, no matter how much experience you might have.

[@blackwidow4real]

Great video man. Had to search up some informative videos on how to beat those annoying destroyers.

[@CBrown]

That spin ability looks incredibly annoying to deal with as an assassin.

[@HighSpeedGamingYT]

It is all they do is spin and you can't get close in stealth

[@kouyaaotsuki4757]

It's actually very useful, because you always get a succesful Q

[@HighSpeedGamingYT]

+Kouya Aotsuki :0 your right! Never though about that thanks that will help me a lot

[@As-tray]

Btw, talking 'bout LSM...

[@Nyanm0t0]

Great video! Been subscribed since your engie in the team Para days. It seems we like to play the same classes. I am also a sin in B&S. I always enjoy the level of detailed descriptions in your videos. Keep it up!

[@Teldo]

+H8drian Thank you so much. It means the world to me when I hear how some have been following my content for so long

[@SupraRXE]

This was really helpful! Thanks for pausing the video and breaking down all of your actions and thoughts. Could you do one for vs summoners next?

[@Teldo]

+SupraRXE I just uploaded a Summoner version! : )

[@TheNameJohnny]

sweet video brah brah!!! keep up with the awesome videos.

[@vvvemmavvv]

good boy Teldo, realy well explained. Gear, gems and stuff,

[@TheEllman01]

I thought I was a decent assassin, but you are awesome. Great commentary as well, keep it up.

[@Teldo]

+Elliott Chapman Thank you

[@TheSwissing]

Great video! Very detailled and interesting! Keep up!

[@Teldo]

+TheSwissing Thanks a lot (I feel weird saying thanks on every post, but I don't want to leave anyone out at this point LOL)

[@EXKenmaru]

I really like your Video. Good Commentary. I fight destroyers all day in arena. I don't know why the game doesn't allow me to fight other classes lol. They are such a problem. I try my best not to get knocked down or stunned. I play a Lyn Blade Dancer. Watching this video has me thinking about my strategy. I have a great deal of blade dancer destroyer videos on my channel. Good video.

[@supremepopsicle]

Very educational, loved it. Now .. all I have to do is stay calm and see opportunities

[@Qelacien]

best video for sin i have ever seen !!! GJ

[@Teldo]

+Alexei Kurakin Thank you very much!

[@omcantu]

Great video! Please make more in this style!

[@Teldo]

+Oscar C. Thanks, I'll try!

[@chrisss8331]

very useful video, congrtz ! Do a guide against all classes, and keep making assassin content! Welldone mate !

[@Teldo]

+mc promokis Thank you! Will try!

[@J_Entropy]

I'm learning a lot cuz of your great commentary

[@Teldo]

+Sora No Kagami-Kun (SNK) Thank you!

[@MrChineseEggroll]

GOOD JOB, i wish i can play like u.. im still learning Assassin, I freak out when i get into PVP mode

[@bakalap2]

suscribed hoping to see more videos like this and explaining builds soon too

[@Teldo]

+Ralph Raimon Thanks! Will try to keep it up :) I very much enjoy making KZbin content

[@yELoHQ]

Are you also using screen shake for your LB/RB? Cause I've learned that you need to do screen shakes for LB/RB to make sure the client registers both inputs. If you used R/T then it wouldn't matter. Could you explain a little more about screen shake?

[@Teldo]

+TheGosu I heard about it, but I don't know enough about all that to really talk about it. I wasn't even sure if it was an actual thing.

[@MeroFlakes]

Dude your commentary is awesome .. and i was hoping u could do a commentary against a Force a master because i'm having problems against them XD

[@Teldo]

+Omar Mohamed Wish I could, but I never face them. I don't know how to fight them myself yet.

[@DaddehFahtSack]

This had really good commentary. Helped me form my own strategies to defeat destroyers. Could you make a video about Sin vs. Summoner? I find it's instant GG against them

[@Tyler.8046]

+Tyler “Big Boss” Dunk Definitely check out Vile's guide to Sin vs Scummoner. You basically have to PvE them to death. However, I've found that if they're a REALLY aggressive summoner, you can still just straight up lose to all their DoTs.

[@Aikicyoaz]

Very educational!!!! Thank you!!!! You rock!!!

[@Trolololeos]

Does slipping lotus work against destroyers for you? If so, could you explain how it is supposed to be used? I think something was mixed up in localization.

[@dsdasdasdadfsdfesrse]

Hey dude,u're very good with assassin but I got a question , I didnt follow what did you do at 3:06 there.. You were so far away from him but you just jump into his back and cancel his shield.. how? thank you very much.

[@paradox9369]

I guess he had his X shuriken on him, then pressed X again to get behind his back, and then used his right click to break his shield.

[@theomorisato3404]

Dang that was dope, mad respect for playing assassin! I want to get good like you. =]

[@Teldo]

+Theo Morisato Thank you so much!

[@HikaruFx3]

I loved your channel omg, ty! :D

[@lfm4673]

LOL. thnx for ur vid bro. i got nerve when deal with Destroyer. Spin,spin,spin till die.

[@iTechGamingLOL]

Hello , am kinda new in the whole MMO think , but after seeing this game i wanted to give it a try , so i wanted to see some mechanics/counters/guides for each class before i am gonna decide with which one i am gonna start playing with . I am really good in moba games , especialy in lol but i don't think this is gonna help me to decide or etheir understand easier this game . I do like hard mechanic champs that gives alot of options of how to play with , so i would rather ask you since you play this game for a long time and beeing plat is a decent rank as i know in blade and soul , which class should i start with and when do you recommend to start PvP (lvl) .

[@Kharrance]

Very well explained, keep it up :)

[@TheRealScarion]

I can't even enter stealth again after webbing them because they can move around on the ground thus not letting me get behind them.

[@nguyetlam2778]

nice job tho Hopefully to see ur vs warlock video that has just come out :)

[@alkimalk2922]

Teldo, do you still play? Do you play Soul Fighter by chance? If you do, is it somehow possible for you to make some Soul Fighter PvP guide videos just like this? That would be so great! thank you!

[@xhulionisak1761]

Hey Teldo mate, thanks a lot for this nice and informative video-guide!!! I am a thankful subscriber, still have a technical question: Can you share with me your pc-configuration? Your gameplay looks so smooth, I wonder, what CPU and videocard, and monitor are you using??

[@Teldo]

I've been having tons of issues with my old setup, when I recorded those BnS videos, but I was using the Capture Card: Avermedia Live Gamer Portable for live encoding with the official software. It was anything but perfect. I spent the last weeks trying to fix my PC and Internet so I can have better quality content out soon (but probably more Overwatch than anything else) Nowadays I got a monster PC with a GTX 1070 and an i7-5820k. Tomorrow my 144hz monitor will arrive too. I want to start pumping out daily videos soon, but I gotta figure out how to balance all that with regular streams.

[@xhulionisak1761]

Nice. But were you using a similar setup earlier? Because judging by the fluid gameplay and the non-tearing in the video, I was wondering whether it was the cpu or the videocard, that was a monster, or maybe freesync/g-sync in combination with those two? Im asking, cause I have never got that smooth gameplay ever, and was hoping to get a clue from you, mate. Any hints? Btw, keep the videos coming, appreciate it!

[@Teldo]

Xhulion Isak No my old PC wasn't that good. The Capture Card did the encoding and my PC didn't really have to do any of the processing. It seems so smooth, because I was recording at 60fps and if you have a new GPU you should be able to reproduce similiar results by using the in-built encoder. Shadowplay or AMD VCE can handle 60fps 720p easily without any real performance hit on your machine.

[@archreign5186]

What keyboard and mouse are you using ? It seems that I can't even do the simple LB + RB combo LOL

[@sorasoki]

Rly nice man Keep goin!

[@skytan3151]

thank you sensei for this wonderful lesson. :)

[@esolipton]

would suggest using the stun on "c" instead of the shitty poison grenade to extend the combo. you can add on another whole sequence of right click cancels and then finish off by detonating the poison stacks with right click out of decoy after the last cutthroat. should add a whole 10k damage to your punish. just thought you could have won earlier since he popped trinket horribly. good job nevertheless

[@trikster22]

You have nice combo.. Great explanation!! I have lvl 45 assassin as well, everytime i face destroyer I'm always get rekt, they do nothin but do the stupid spin w/ stun.

[@alkimalk2922]

Please keep it up with the Assassin PvP Arena videos! Help us Assassins get good! /shy

[@maumacleod8117]

Yo... What is the rotation u use for your combo

[@BodegaFargo]

I appreciate this so much. As a fellow assassin I really want to get into the pvp scene but need to master the sin combo and start. If possible can you show how to jump high enough to set your flower and dash and wood block? it's so hard to pull off for me. Also I would highly recommend a youtuber assassin by the name Supa Hot Vile he is really good and post in depth guides that will help you. I still need to learn the basics (opener + combo) but I have no way to practice it. Keep the videos going, love it.

[@Teldo]

+scalerdragon2 I have trouble with it too, but just a couple hours ago I was thinking of making a video about it. Vile has been my first ressource for assassin stuff and he makes great content, definitely someone to check out!

[@Makari126]

best commentary ever, which rating are ryour right now?

[@Teldo]

+ma kari Thank you! I'm at 2060 or so I think.

[@Makari126]

+Teldo cool well deserved gj bro

[@Teldo]

ma kari Thanks ^_^ I'll try to get to diamond and then I might do a stream with pre-recorded footage showing my climb

[@Makari126]

nice I have no doubt that you will reach diamond

[@thomasbowey7582]

That was awesome !

[@thomasbowey7582]

I myself am struggling in learning to play sin in pvp, I'm not at the lvl cap yet, so I pretty much get stunlocked a lot, summoners are the worst though imho... I beat maybe one or two in the odd 30 matches I've played... Your videos with the breakdown step-by-step is really good though, I don't know all the classes skills so yea it's kind of hard trying to avoid or counter certain classes when .. well you don't really know what they can do. Anyways very useful video i'm gonna go practice those rotations in pve then try it out in the arena!

[@Scream357]

Haha holy shit! Now I'm definitely not doing PvP especially with Spin2Win nuh huh. Fuck this shit, the stress is not worth it, lmao.

[@jabo109]

Same here, I would be panicking maybe from the very first 5 seconds :(

[@RampageRoar]

please tell me the skill distribution deck plz... im 31 and Destroyers just killme faster...

[@zart3k]

dam your so good :O i cant get away on 1600+ T_T but i learn a lot. Subs you!

[@Teldo]

+zart3k Thank you very much!

[@martinentertainment734]

im new to the game my self, i cant seem to figure out how to do certain combo's. also, how to play vs Casters as an assassin ? they slow and deal huge massive amounts of dmg :O

[@Teldo]

+Martin van Goor I've got a video explaining a PvP combo and against Summoners you have to play completely differently. You gotta use more of a PvE playstyle. There's a video for that on my channel too!

[@Teldo]

+Martin van Goor I've got a video explaining a PvP combo and against Summoners you have to play completely differently. You gotta use more of a PvE playstyle. There's a video for that on my channel too!

[@martinentertainment734]

+Teldo okay , i will try to watch it right now :-) thnx for the quick reply :-) Cheers !!

[@rellmaxgaming9381]

thats why blade and soul is oneof the greatest games its not those typical mmorpg where you just smash that attack buttob bas need some strategy like what he was doing somethin like oh i know he doe not have anything to counter it now and it devellops quick thinking

[@BlazzerRestored]

The game seems so responsive to you. I have a good pc aswell, but the game is kinda laggy and that prevents me from makin' those sick plays, is there some kind of fix for this that i don't know about? I also have a fast internet connection (gigabit).

[@Teldo]

+BlazzerRestored I don't know. Do you have actual low FPS or latency spikes? I do have network issues with latency spikes as well and using something like WTFast helped a little, but I don't think I can help you with low Frames per second. I heard that some people had issues with good PCs, have you tried lowering the video settings?

[@BlazzerRestored]

+Teldo no, my fps is above 100, i have i7 4790, gtx 970, and i run my game on an ssd. i will try that program, thank you for the reply, keep up the sick plays :)

[@gamecalledlife4288]

Are you playing on NA or EU also i wanna know if there is any difference will i chose to play NA Or EU.Any advice would be greatly appreaciated !

[@RaveTheo]

i think he plays on Windrest EU,not sure tho

[@jorgenv9853]

:) desde ahora eres mi idolo que bueno eres para pvp!!!!!

[@jkrse]

Hi Teldo, i like ur videos .. i don t know is unballanced or not .. everytime when i play vs destroyer , warlock .. everytime i lose .. i don t know this deatroyer block all skills , i can t stun him i can t do nothing is imba ..

[@Tyler.8046]

Still learning as well, and need to practice the combo. However, somehow managed to make it to gold completely making up combos on the go (???). However, I plan on learning everyone's tab escape next (After practicing the combo) so that I can Q or SS it. Also, I find myself rarely using my q, simply because I don't have any information on the screen pertaining to it, so I really need to practice that as well. Only about 30 or 40 ranked matches in though, so I definitely have a long way to go. I swear to god though, LBMs and FMs are the bane of my existance. LBMs seem to just juggle me 100-0 and FMs don't give a fuck what I do. Hoping that learning my combos and their tab escapes might actually give me a chance in these matchups. I occasionally win against them when they've obviously got no idea what they're doing, but I've yet to beat a really good LBM.

[@Teldo]

+Tyler Wardle Yeah there's lots to learn in this game, but it feels great when you get better step by step. I can give you a tip with Q. You can spam that ability on range against a lot of classes and sometimes immediatly trigger it when they use some of their gap closers. It's also great when you're about to do a combo on them and you think they might use their Tab. If you predict it you can just negate their CC and get away for free.

[@Tyler.8046]

Teldo Never thought about using it to dodge gap closers, definitely will use this instead of my 2 to dodge some of the aggressive LBMs which seem to rush me the second the match starts with their charge stun. Assuming I can't get into the air that is. Also, as far as perks are concerned. What's your opinion on the unstealthed 3, using at as a knockdown in your combo? It seems like a lot of people ignore it, possibly because knockdowns are a lot easier to get out of. However, couldn't you just break their ground counter with your RMB block break if they got greedy and tried to counter you. Also, I saw you don't drop your bomb in your combo video? Any reason not to drop it, seems like free cc to extend a combo. You've got plenty of time with your webbing to drop at least your XZV and still have plenty of time to set up to continue the combo.

[@Teldo]

+Tyler Wardle 1) I think the 3 is very powerful. I just don't use it to it's full potential yet. Still learning. 2) I don't drop the bomb, because I don't use it for my combo. You need a follow-up for their F when you knock them down, but it's a little more advanced and I didn't want to cover this in my first combo video. I still need to practice it myself, but you can apply an X before stunning them again and then trigger the bomb at some point during your combo and follow their roll up with X to keep them CC'd. A combo like this can 100-0 enemies if done correctly.

[@Tyler.8046]

Teldo Ok, I was just wondering what you thought about it, and yeah adding both of those definitely complicate your combo by adding even more cooldowns to pay attention to. That's what I've seen more advanced players doing in their combo breakdown videos, but yours definitely simplified the combo while still keeping it really effective. I'll most likely practice your method before adding in the other abilities. Thanks for the input, I love the 3 with the knockdown although I have trouble hitting it on clases like LBMs with their cc immunity and high mobility. Then again, I just have trouble with LBMs in general.

[@maikschaefer8940]

do u recommend this game and if u do what class/ character is the best starter

[@4chevano]

Maik Schaefer i reconmend it if you ar digging these kinds games and kit is ur own playstyle :)

[@diegovinicius4186]

Hi, im new as assassin, i used to play as bladedancer combing (not spin to win), so i can get combo pretty easy, but im getting trouble with general assassin combo starter, cuz after i send their to air and do LMB, 4, Tab, and just put my smoke and flower, when i get to get back with 1 skill, its just impossible cuz bots can move their hitbox, so u never can hit from behind So i just stand without knowing what to do (i mostly just use my C and try SS to move away)

[@acedia4454]

+Stackt X When they are webbed, place urself right next to him with your back in his direction. Then u SS -> u are behind him while looking right at him, the bot cant move his hitbox fast enough and u can 1 to stealth and continue ur combo. (sorry for some mistakes, english is annoying :o)

[@GamEnthusiast]

awesome dude

[@DeWolle95]

Which outfit does your character have ?

[@Teldo]

+DeWolle95 Pugilist Outfit

[@Tampaandrewful]

This is why the Destro v. Sin matchup is fucking broken, it's like Summoner v. Destro. Destro has a single gameplan and if he follows it they win. If a Sin follows the same gameplan against all destros, the Sin wins.

[@SuperHardcoreTroller]

which server do you play on?

[@Teldo]

+©opyright I'm on Windrest EU

[@rafadgm94]

Try improving your screen capture quality. The content is really good but I personally would like better definition in the video :p

[@Teldo]

+Rafael de Gomes Thanks for the input. I can't do more than 720p60. I can however record with a higher bitrate. I ordered a 4TB harddrive today, which will allow me to do that. Other than that I'm aiming to upgrade my Equipment throughout the year and I'm hoping to improve my overall quality including sound down the road.

[@rafadgm94]

Cool man, hope to see some improvements!

[@teranimous8098]

Everythin is perfect but that destroyer didnt have a build against assasins i think you should do another destryoer

[@tonybarbieri2597]

great video

[@ricopalm5532]

because your viedeo the assasin run like screaming pic in pvp realy thanks XD

[@Roybord43]

You should come back to Blade and soul :)

[@Arkuza55]

I thought kfm is complicated assassin even worst.

[@josemendoza4946]

+Qi KFM both are complicated kfm its harder to win with

[@HighSpeedGamingYT]

+Jose Mendoza not really use fighting spirit then do a stun/daze lock combo you can 100-0 your opponent

[@cht5001]

what outfit is that

[@Teldo]

+cht5001 Pugilist I think

[@กิตติเดชจิตตะ]

nice nice nice video

[@Teldo]

+กิตติเดช จิตตะ thanksu!

[@Duncan22001]

[@lofistudywaves]

+Saiful Raznan Thanks :3 Will try to keep it up

[@Numin3x]

i'm so bad against destroyers :(

[@lastzombie4589]

panic !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Gptencate]

Teldo!!! Come back to gw2!!!

[@hidesinyster2285]

Man i m a sin too I i got a say you are good but i facepalm so hard when you panic and make so many mistakes...

[@LordOfThunder19]

Im an assassin, im gold rank but Im 0 wins 14 loses vs destroyer I need help :(

[@Tyler.8046]

+Alejandro Pereira Its a really hard matchup right now because we don't have our decoy immunity, honestly he showed off about as good as the matchup goes. Just learn the combo and don't commit until you know you can pull it off. You have to play defensively into this otherwise they'll just combo you to death. Make sure you know how to break their grab, and the matchup (should) go easier for you. Albeit I still panic every time I see them spin towards me.

[@Teldo]

+Alejandro Pereira Try to play it really defensively. Throw your X and bomb at him every time and kite away in stealth. Play a hit&run style until the time runs out. That's how I started defeating my first destroyers. Because they heal a lot more than you do, you're likely do have dealt more damage at the end of the match and therefore win.

[@winstonheller]

u like hugs ? id hug you right now

[@Teldo]

+winston heller Hugs are good ^_^

[@winstonheller]

+Teldo i was in pvp and this summoner kicked my ass and the whole match i didn't know what to do so im like u know what teldo will teach me some shit and i started with ur videos and now im watchin a video on how to pour water into a cup i swear im not bullshiting u my comment is right there

[@oussemamenthole2586]

this video made me hate destroyers even more
