[@UnrivaledPiercer]

Great video, do you plan to do more T&L content in the future? If so I'll subscribe, not a D4 player so just curious if your channel will have content that I will actually watch or not on a regular basis. Good luck!

[@ireviktv]

@@UnrivaledPiercer 100% T&L focused.

[@kohtas]

Thanks for the tips, looking forward to diving into T&L. I have a question about healers, how is the leveling experience as one? I typically main healers in other games and the healing seems like it would be a good time in T&L but I'm concerned that the leveling might suck.

[@ireviktv]

Depends on your other weapon but if it’s bow or staff you can just prio those weapons to do all your damage. Shouldn’t be too bad and you can heal yourself. Slow and steady but maybe easier bc of heals that other dps won’t have

[@kohtas]

@@ireviktv Cool thank you that's what I figured, as long as I won't be hard locked on anything I'm used to it being a little slower as a healer.

[@ddfstar7588]

I Mained wand bow and its pretty had doing contracts solo, but I had a dps buddy and he basically killed everything for me.

[@kohtas]

@@ddfstar7588 Thanks, I'm thinking of maybe going xbow + dagger at this point it looks really cool and the xbow seems pretty unique to me. Maybe on full release I'll level as healer with a buddy or two. Appreciate the response.

[@ddfstar7588]

@@kohtas healing is great in this game. It's rough solo at first but in group play dungeons world bosses, it's amazing. I got a video of a world boss of me wand bow. Feel free to check it out.

[@CanalLetsPlayVideos]

how problematic and time-consuming is try to have 2 builds to swap (only changing the second weapon, like: SnS/GreatSword and SnS/Wand) depending on the circumstances?

[@ireviktv]

@@CanalLetsPlayVideos that swap would be doable after a few weeks or a month on launch. The gear on that would probably be similar but if you change from tank to glass cannon dps you would struggle to do both

[@timmeh9954]

Maybe a dumb question, but does it matter which weapon is "primary"? Like is SNS/wand same as wand/SNS?

[@ireviktv]

@@timmeh9954 you only get the mastery of a weapon when it’s in your hands. This counts when you use skills with your off hand. During the skill animation you get that weapons mastery. I usually have dagger in hand for PvP because it has 5% move speed and I take the 105 all evasion and I want it active all the time

[@MoistYoghurt]

It will 200% be pay to win but I'll play it until I stop having fun, nice guide though. Also for pvp areas are there certain zones that are pvp or is it some kind of forced pvp thing, if it is I think I'm out

[@ireviktv]

PvP is time event based. Can be 100% avoided, but you may need to give certain zones 30 mins for the event to end. Only a few event areas at a time are PvP and open world dungeons are PvP at night only.

[@oM_New_Music]

Great video!

[@ireviktv]

@@oM_New_Music thanks 👍

[@Jay-ft3xh]

Thanks for the tips. I really hope TL leans further into the open world events.

[@ireviktv]

The events are every 3 hours and are a huge part of your progression for the first 1-3 months. (slowly tapers off as marind prices drop). I do think they need to make pvp events just pvp (like open world battleground) and make pve events more interesting (which i believe the devs stated changes were coming to them)

[@IBodyBagz]

Open world (PvP) events…right comrade?

[@ireviktv]

Correct

[@themightybalto]

great video! what do you consider to be the best dps combos for pve and pvp respectively and your reasonings? look forward to more content!

[@ireviktv]

Depends on your playstyle preference. Melee vs Range assuming your only considering dps as wand and sns are top tier. The dps builds i listed in the video are all very good at both pvp and pve. Melee - Xbow/dag is best pve dmg in game, but needs the archboss xbow for pvp (then its S tier pvp aswel) GS/Dag is your only true melee dps which is what i prefer to play and it does decent pve dmg. Range - you can play bow/dag, staff/dag, or bow/staff on launch and pick up the 3rd a month or 2 in for an incredibly versatile ranged dps toolkit with 3 separate builds.

[@GabrielSilva-yg2ws]

@@ireviktv Hey bro, i really like the sneaky complex gameplay and high risk high reward. Do you think wand/dagger is appropriate for it?

[@ireviktv]

@@GabrielSilva-yg2wsit’s an ok build, you will have to heal dungeons though

[@zae_llama9111]

So only weapon best suited for everything build is dagger in the 2nd slot… that sounds so boring

[@ireviktv]

@@zae_llama9111 there are dps builds without dagger. They’re just aren’t top tier meta. Can play a ranged build without dagger, but dagger has so much utility in PvP. Stealth in PvP is the best disengage

[@Paolini_18]

Has this game really a very big focus on PvP ? like contrary to BDO which has a focus on PvE

[@ireviktv]

@@Paolini_18 yeah, PvP is the main endgame here. Large scale guild vs guild with some small scale content and instances battlegrounds coming dec. / Jan.

[@ireviktv]

Heck yeah! 👍

[@ShabanReem]

Reviiiik my g!

[@ireviktv]

✌️

[@EnrIG21]

A silly question, why isnt worth playing any combination that are not in the list, lets say.... SNS BOW?

[@ireviktv]

Synergy just isn’t there and each build tries to fulfill a roll. If you can find a key roll that an off meta build can fulfill and you know what your doing go for it. Also could end up getting gate kept in pug dungeon groups if you run an odd build

[@ignacio5600]

nice video, so is not really like old MMO like L2, need to rush 50 asap and then play around? any fun side quest or thing to do in lower lvls?

[@ireviktv]

1-50 is fun, but endgame starts at 50. It doesn’t take that long to hit 50 either.

[@defuze56]

so we are suppose to go full+9 blue with full traits but when o i switch to purple items? only when i have the items needed to give them full traits also or?

[@ireviktv]

In general you want traits on your gear and blue with traits is better than purple without

[@WoodyTheArmadillo]

Thanks for the tips! Do you know which role is the least played and highest in demand? Is it tank and healer like in most mmos? I usually tend to play these roles so i can find groups faster :D

[@ireviktv]

I’d say healer is most wanted. Tank isn’t far behind. Sns/wand is king currently and does both. Sns/wand isn’t good until you get gear though

[@WoodyTheArmadillo]

@@ireviktv Thanks for your reply! I think i'll go full healer then with wand/bow as sns/wand will probably get nerfed xD

[@MrEgg-]

How is the enhancing? Is it easy? Fail rates? Please tell me it's not like BDO lol

[@cosmin5078]

It's not. Items don't break. There is a %chance to fail on traits (if you use a lower grade item) but even then, it doesn't break.

[@ireviktv]

No failing, constant progress. Can just have better rng to progress faster, but nothing breaks.

[@ireviktv]

Correct

[@zeth2653]

Nice video, just what i was looking for. I'm new to throne and liberty and I really really want to play a warrior/mage kind of character, but I feel like nobody ever talks about GS/Wand or GS/Staff, which is why I assume they are not very good combinations, however, I HATE daggers and like to dps in mmorpgs, I'd like to be as competitive as possible in pvp/pve while playing something I enjoy. AM I Fucked? Is there a weapon combination you would suggest to someone in my situation? I plan on testing GS/Wand and GS/Staff in the open beta perhaps another idea i might get (SNS/WAND DPS????¿), but I'd love to read the opinion of someone that has actually played the game at endgame

[@ireviktv]

You can try gs/wand and gs/staff. Not many people have tried those and I don’t think they’re very good. If you have a group of friends your playing with you can do whatever, but if you need to pug dungeons and get into a guild your probably going to want a more meta build. What do you dislike about daggers? If you have a staff you generally play at a range with some options to hit with dagger in melee, but you aren’t going into melee range intentionally with staff. I would either try dagger or bow with staff if you want a meta build. Things may change next week with skill expressions/tripods coming on or servers.

[@zeth2653]

@@ireviktv I dislike invisibility and poisons. I like playing mainly melee which is why I didn't think about bow/staff. I played a little with dagger/staff, dagger/wand, gs/staff and gs/wand, SnS seems to be exclusively tanking equipment so I didn't try it. I just can't get over my dislike for daggers and I can see some of the problems of gs/staff-wand, so I'm a little disappointed because I enjoyed the game. However, I'm hopeful of the new changes coming to the game and the possibility of these changes making gs/staff-wand a decent combination, will you be covering those changes in the future?

[@ireviktv]

@@zeth2653 I will be streaming the new changes on twitch when they release on Wednesday. Videos will come later, closer to launch most likely

[@m7mdrashid760]

Hey Thanks for the video but I have a question, why do we need to save contracts to level 49 if we get refresh contracts the next day?

[@ireviktv]

You will have a major stockpile on day 1. The meta strategy is to get to 49 before the first reset and get your contracts below 59. The daily 10 you get can go above the 60 cap if your 59 or less, but if you 60 or more they just go away. Hard to explain in text, but TLDR, save that initial stockpile if you can hit 49 in 1-3 days

[@m7mdrashid760]

@@ireviktv Thanks for explaining, I don't think I'll go hard on leveling in beta, I'll just explore the game and will try to try everything I can XD Thanks again and have fun mate :)

[@gamingon9956]

The enhance system its like the ine in Lost Ark? Item doesn't brake but msterials are lost, and then you have ti work your ass for days to get enough msterials?

[@ireviktv]

In lost ark you can fail and get no progress. This doesn’t ever fail. Way way way faster and better than lost ark

[@Jafarizz]

Can you explain how weapon xp works? I’m level 23 and didn’t get any weapon xp, only got them when I completed a contract and got some blue thing called dew I think it was

[@ireviktv]

@@Jafarizz they changed how mastery is gained recently. Now you only get it from contracts and instances dungeons. Don’t worry about it until you’re level 50 and you’re doing the contracts. You will be level 5+ fast

[@occasus7964]

Would you say Greatsword/SnS is bad in comparison to the others?

[@ireviktv]

Not at all. Probably the most straight forward tank and best all around tank build.

[@Youngphilly13]

Would great sword/bow or crossbow be viable? Love the great sword and I wanted some type of range as well.

[@ireviktv]

You can play anything but you may find it hard to get into dungeon groups or guilds. Gs/Xbow is the only of those two that I know CAN work, but it feels more like a pve choice

[@Youngphilly13]

@@ireviktv appreciate the reply I did some more searching online think I'm gonna settle on bow/staff

[@spero1864]

what if i wanna use greatsword and staff?

[@ireviktv]

You can, but it doesn’t have good synergy. Skill tripods are coming tomorrow on kr servers and could make more builds viable though

[@danpol715]

Do yellow contracts stack and accumulate or is there limit for 10 daily of them and you will miss out if not clear all of them each day?

[@ireviktv]

They stack to 60. Day one you will have over that cap and will lose out if you don’t get some done. It’s not that big of a deal, just min/max to hit 50 fast and get them under 59 day one.

[@TheAnonJohn]

hey thanks for the video. Say I have a +7 or +9 weapon. When I get a new better weapon drop, do I have to start over +2, +5, +9 etc? Does that mean that I shouldn't bother upgrading my weapon until endgame, until I get a decent one?

[@floyddominique3731]

i was just about to ask the same, because i believe the upgrade system was different on blackdesert

[@ireviktv]

Same quality (green/blue/purple) items transfer 100% of the xp to the new weapon. No loss. You would only have to worry about traits as those do not transfer. Transferring up a tier(green to blue and blue to green) you will be a lower level because the higher tier items require more xp per level. 100% of the xp is still transferred from previous weapon though

[@Scadipippen]

@@ireviktv but wouldnt you wanna keep your weapon than? if you destroy your blue item and get a purple without traits youre kinda screwed? if blue does more with traits?

@@mistertrap9267 wand is mainly a healer. As with a lot of other mmos tho, the healer is expected to do damage in pve.

Ony thing i hate on these "recommendations" videos is the "fly to max level". MMOs weren't made for this before, you should have a lot of things to do on low levels also, just explore the game, see what it has to offer. Once you get to max level, you get something else, something new. That's why A LOT of people are getting to max level and starts failing on everything the game has to offer to you, cause you just rushed everything in and you don't have any idea about your class/spells/abilities/professions etc. Then, you rage at them for dying or failing on things ...

[@ireviktv]

@@Pheribe the main point of the video is to decide on your weapons in this beta for launch. You can’t make a good decision without having all of the skills unlocked.
