I just wanted to show some thanks as a brand new BDO player. I was in the middle of making my first ever character/trying to figure out classes a bit ago and this video helped me a lot. Pretty nutty that it came out at the exact time I needed it. Enjoyed the content -make more please!

Been watching u since the og days of BDO and I'm so glad ur continuing to provide the best of the best BDO information for new and returning players as well veterans wanting to try a new class out. Keep up the great work and well deserved recognition ur getting.

[@Laaniiie]

Great video. As a returning player who has missed out in the last couple of years of changes/new character releases this was such a great way to quicklly catch up on the state of the classes

[@LazaYoyo]

After all these years your guides and videos are the best Anders. You are giving just the information we need in this level of production. Thank you

[@sowosamma9890]

It's amazing how things changed over the years. Most of my awa/succ choices seem to be "wrong" now. But I still stick to my awa Guardian - which is still pretty solid in high level monster zones. Thanks for this guide, I'll recommend it to new players.

[@kyleodonnell4326]

Thanks for this. Straight to the point with seemingly fair assessments. Much appreciated.

[@vbm4780]

This is my favorite BDO channel by far. Been watching you for years, thank you for all your hard work Anders.

[@angelosa.3178]

Can we take a moment and appreciate the work the animators did for this game? God damn some of these are super high tier. I really hope even MORE people get into this game. I recently got back to it and man....i'm addicted.

[@ldz19851]

This game has the best particle effects out of any MMORPG to date, makes everything else look like trash lol. Except FFXIV

[@VFRNinja]

This is why I’m thinking of playing this game…it looks amazing. I’m just worried about the money aspect of it.

[@gabemaurer4969]

​@@VFRNinjait's not so p2w. You can do everything as a f2p player. It's more pay for convenience but you're handed a lot of paid stuff free just by logging in so I wouldnt let that deter you too much.

[@VFRNinja]

@@gabemaurer4969 yeah I started playing it. It's really a lot to learn, but I like it. Really no gotcha or waiting on upgrades to get you to spend. I bought the $45 game pass though. I can't imagine the work that has gone into this game, it's vast.

[@FabricateFrog]

Started BDO like 4 days ago. Went mystic about lvl 43 so far and loving it. Games a lot more enjoyable than when i tried it out years ago.

[@kadian299]

Same! I tried it like some 3 or 4 years ago and just couldn’t get past the clunky ui. Still clunky just not as bad and I really like some of the new classes.

[@Shiggy_]

I started with mystic too! I loved her animations. I still have her. Kinda miss using her now. I’ve been a striker for so long

[@nhifuu]

I would get ready to switch to Striker next season, Mystic has been gimped for ages.

[@denversenn8494]

I also started mystic recently. I like her play style and animations even though many players don't play her I still like her kit and play style.

[@k1rzen]

@@nhifuu Why what happen ? I am playing Mystic too but I thought she was fine, I know Striker is God tier in PVE grind but aren't they pretty much the same for PVP ?

[@fredxu99]

Thanks for the great video, went with Maegu for the beautiful fox particles and been having a chill time on seasonal leveling. Ultimately going to stay on Lahn for my main though, even though I burned out and quit a few years ago, I still love the dual glaives and flying :)

[@AbirBelly]

i watched this video and very indecisive 😅 but i appreciate how indepth this video was without getting too long-winded Thanks!

[@LoveByNicole]

My only complaint is i wish you couldve showcased the succession and awakening for each class, would save newcomers from going to multiple videos

[@isa2758]

Exactly i was like wtf

[@user-ox1rp4ip3b]

asking for to much@@isa2758

[@kraizerhummingbird2646]

Just wanna say thank you for the vid, thx to u i see that cool looking Drakania b4 i start playing this game. I immediately fall in love with that class after seeing the intro lol

[@Solooun]

Maegu and Woosa look very fun. I’m going to be playing the game for the first time ever today and just wanted some guidance in general of how classes looked while playing them. Definitely will be trying some different stuff out

[@KingJerbear]

Anders' earlier Class Guide video from a few years back is what got me into the game in the first place starting on the right foot so long ago. This is a huge resource for new players! As has been said countless times, if you are new to the game, PICK WHAT LOOKS COOL!

[@bsmall1412]

I think that is where I messed up. I am a new player and instead of picking what I thought we be fun. I picked other classes based on others opinion of easy. I ended up making and deleting double digit classes. I should just play what I want and worry about the rest later. I am starting on another new toon. Luckily, I am on a seasonal server so I haven’t lost too much.

[@KingJerbear]

@@bsmall1412 100%. The biggest discrepancy between how well you perform is how good you are with a given class. You are most likely to WANT to improve on something you actually love to play... even if theoretically you picked the "WORST" class in the game, they could patch it in a month and it becomes the strongest. Just ask Sage players, they've been on both ends several times in just the past year alone.

[@spaaaaace8952]

I can never miss these videos. Thank you, Anders.

[@maneshsandeepa]

Was waiting for this for a long time. Good one.

[@t1g415]

exactly the type of video i was looking for, great job dude

[@Muhammad-Jacobs699]

I'm only 4 months in, trying new classes on my 2nd ever season. This is the perfect video I need to decide which class to play next. Will be using Fughar's Time piece method. Thank you!

[@NoztrozeR]

Thank you very much for such a thorough and well-put overview of the different classes. Just started the game, and one of the things I've spent the most time on so far, is simply picking a class. This is mainly because they all look so fun and cool, so the choice is incredibly difficult. But I'm not complaining. Not being able to choose because you like them all so much is definitely a big first world problem to have!

[@palpaladin315]

Corsair release is what got me into the game. Never seen any character in a game quite like her; except Gideon in Vanquish maybe. Well worth learning all the nuances of the character. If you don't pick up on all the linkages she has to perform long, extended combo chains, your endgame experience is gonna be very limited. - getting to the soft cap with her is deceptively easy, and she has one of the better back stories as well. They nerfed her way too hard after her first season. Seems like Maegu is in the same boat (no pun intended).

[@qinrou]

Thanks for the wonderful work, really did a good job

[@evolitile]

It was Lahn I saw running across the rooftops, dipping out all cool and sh!t. Awesome. Good video, thanks for sharing.

[@glmasters3425]

Thanks man! Been waiting for some videos like this because im still undecided to what I will choose XD

[@takumifujiwara9181]

Returning player here thanks for making a quick and concise video I ended up going with the Nova.

[@Trev0413]

For all the hard work and Algo. Thanks Anders

[@nurizza03]

yeah def just go for the class u like, i rerolled wayy to many times just to go back to my sage, it fits my style

[@thonex8787]

0 hours in the game. this gave me the needed push to decide which class to try out first. love the short run down for each class!

[@uhis1686]

i tend to take big breaks from BDO over the years. always fun to check up on these videos. my man Striker seems to stay around as a solid class haha. might give some of the newer ones a try tho, Awakening nova looks pretty cool!

[@rasenganalchemist8717]

You never disappoint with these guides man ❤

[@RaikageV]

Great video! I've been playing since release but mostly just play my Tamer (yeah I've been struggling lmao but it's fun) and I was kind of out of the loop in regard to other classes, so this was definitely interesting to see!

[@kurgisempyrion6125]

Interesting timing of you making this video - the very recent change to mob respawn timing has really highlighted the weakness of my main class, Awakened Sorc. This is not anything against this excellent guide more of how one change can impact things. Mob respawn is now so high its really highlighting issues within a class, in my opinion. I was trying to grind a short rotation at Sherekhan's the other day, way over AP'd and DP'd for the area and noticed instantly that now my stamina and cooldowns cannot keep up at all for any real length of time. Combined with long cooldowns on movement skills this really made the grind a very stop start affair. I can only hope PA are ready for the changes they are now going to have to make to no doubt quite a few classes to be able to sustain even smaller rotations. Nice to see they promoted your video on the launcher though!

[@codycalvert2116]

Hey great video anders! Much appreciated information, I'm trying it out again after a long break, last time I played the archer had just come out lol, long long time ago

[@elifuenmayor8359]

Love the guide. Something that would help is easyness of playstyle per character, as a player not use to this combat I want to start with an easy class and work my way up.

[@AntoniIvanov-rq7dy]

It depends of what type of person you are and then you will find easily your character. For example I like melee characters.

[@yowfu]

its a huge help to watch this for me as a new player, very clean video

[@MB-go6uy]

Anders got a really good voice too. No cap. I could hear him on the radio late at night after them love songs "aaand... that was Barry White bringing in the Love Hour" lol.

[@melodicmercy]

As a returning player this is perfect. Thank you sir!

[@Nerdzin93]

I'm gonna start playing this game and your video was really helpful! Thanks

[@kenpark3021]

thank you for the in-depth guide~ trying out Maegu awakening and planning to level up a Lahn, both look fun and different playstyles. on another note, do you happen to have the preset data for your female characters? they are friggin gorgeous.

[@elias8444]

Perfect guide, thank you alot for thing this man!

[@awanderer4033]

This is honestly a really solid guide information wise. The biggest thing I learned is that there were other classes then Alpaca Fwiend.

[@nsheperdweshalb9126]

Need more vids like this for new players, but I think difficulty of learning and playing the class should also be shown. While it’s all opinion base anyways it would be some useful info for new players. Tho my opinion is to just go for what pops out, the more intriguing the more likely they’ll continue to play like the rest of us

[@iLikePizza829]

FINALLY ! After 1h of googling I found a video that combines all the knowledge i need to pick my very first class in the game ! Thanks for making it !

[@CaledonianCraft]

Fellow new player here, what did you pick?

[@iLikePizza829]

@@CaledonianCraft Archer. Class was fun to play, I'm happy with my choice. Got 60+ (cant remember) but I'm not playing anymore. Too many systems / minigames, it's overwhelming

[@CaledonianCraft]

@@iLikePizza829 Fair enough. I just started yesterday, went for Lahn. Hopefully all the little extras dont become too much for me then.

[@iLikePizza829]

@@CaledonianCraft biggest mistake i made : some guide suggested stacking enchant fails on bad equipment to make enchant of main equipment easier. HOWEVER since it's seasonal realm i later found that you had some stones that increased % enchant chance and i should be using them instead. Effectively i wasted all my enchanting stones at some trash gear and eventually could not progress in campaign beacuse i was just too weak. Make sure you read tooltips of every item you have. Oh and i suggest reading all quest stories you do. Some are tedious and i felt like giving up / just completing objectives but all in all the storylane is amazing. Even with the shitty ones included it's 8/10

[@CaledonianCraft]

@@iLikePizza829 Solid advice, I will be sure to try and do that. I only played for an hour so just trying to feel out the basics atm but I already see what you are saying. There is tons of shit to take in already haha.

[@Vasquez2150]

Thank you for this amazing video. It was very helpful. One thing I wish you would add would be also some kind of rating how difficult each class is to play.

thanks god. I always watch these even though I've played for years

Best pvp class, im new???

[@grimana2260]

thanks for the awesome guide! just used your code

[@jabbathewhat1548]

Ever since Pearl Abyss became independent from Kakao games the game has been so much better i genuinely think that all the excessive p2w aspects were because of them especially since like 80% if updates are them just removing and changing aspects of the game that already existed.

[@nicolaspeigne1429]

Playing this game seriously as a F2P player starting now will see you probably having 5 pets, a t8 horse (or dream with FESTA), and full TET boss gear at the end of the year... and even some costumes. So yeah, it's much better

[@Despond]

@@nicolaspeigne1429 Full tet boss gear in a few weeks you meant? How did you come up with a year lol? Jetina quests, pen accessory quest, season converted to tet boss, you'll be flying very quickly. And yeah, I have like 16 outfits in my pearl tab all for free, all my t4s are made for free too. I can make 800m silver with agris on my season char @ reworked places like Centaurs. But yeah, it's amazing as F2P but the only thing that you really need to pay and support for is the tent. Horse stacking eliminates weight needs, I've never once had to buy inventory slots etc because we get so many +invs just playing.

[@Despond]

100% That move saved the game.

Hey man, first of all thank you for the video it really helped me get a better understanding of the classes BDO has to offer! I was wondering which classes would you recommend for someone playing with 150~ ping and which to stay clear of? I'm interested mostly by the pve side of the game but also would like to dabble in a bit of pvp from time to time, thanks!

Thank you brother for taking the time to analyze to a point all classes for us newcomers. I am about to start the game and this vid helps me save soooo much time, you are a hero.

I'm doing fine with Mystic. Tks for the vid

[@dannygontu5102]

Thank you for the vid, I picked nova and she's an absolute beast, and once I got her awakening it was so satisfying because her playstyle completely changed, being insanely fast and doing stupid damage. I still don't know which class I'm picking next for the tag character, though. I'm thinking Woosa but idk

[@magpie_monster]

I've started playing bdo again this year after not touching it since, like, 2017, because the P2W felt so bad. Now I'm having an absolute blast and I'm going INSANE trying to play all these new awesome classes. Your channel has been super informative and helpful!!

[@mayainverse9429]

da fk u talkin about. i played back then p2w was nothing. u probably just casually blamed p2w for every single time u died in pvp when in reality it wasn't. and value packs back then were significantly easier to get on market i eventually quit just because no value pack kind asucked. i could afford it but its like 3 month wait to be able to buy 1 on market. not sure what its like now though. p2w is probably way worse now. but really it has never mattered and even if you do happen to be in an unlikely scenario where you do fight a p2w player your odds are probably better against them than someone less geared who knows how to play.

[@thomasbrown6332]

@@mayainverse9429 lol, everybody and their mom says it used to be a heavily p2w oriented game. Forums, content creators, comment sections, etc. You are assuming he was bad in PvP, but in reality you’re just uninformed and that’s called ignorance. No one likes when ignorant people chime in, because what you say holds no value. So I ask you the same thing you asked OP, fuk you talking about?

[@thrims2310]

I've been plaing Warrior since Beta and been playing it in awakening since it got released and tbh you can play it either relaxed and still have a good easy PVE grind or you can min-max the hell out of your combos and skill rotation and grind pretty fast. The Awakening Warriror grind really feels smooth in my opinion. (As you never really need to pay attention to your ressources, healing and not really need to bring any potions) Im a PVE only player and never really connected to other calsses and get bored of their playstyles quite fast but perhaps it's time to try out some more of them and see if it's worth the change.

[@AntoniIvanov-rq7dy]

Hi, I wrote that you are PVE player, but is it worth the PVP in this game?

[@mamachoo3640]

[@thewhiteasian]

as a returning player. i thank you for the insight. playing seasonal woosa and really enjoying her playstyle

[@AntoniIvanov-rq7dy]

I'm happy that you are old player. Can you tell me, is it worth the PVP in this game?

[@thewhiteasian]

@AntoniIvanov-rq7dy I found large scale pvp fun. If you can find a guild you enjoy being in, nodewars are fun. I don't typically enjoy dueling for rotations. 1v1 isn't really my style but if you're looking to really progress in your PvP game play 1v1 will help you learn your class better and get to know others as well.

[@AntoniIvanov-rq7dy]

#1 for any and all content its Berserker hands down and has been for a VERY long time.

This is not true at all, the new classes like Woosa were and still are way better in many spots like Orcs. If you mean all-around then yes it's top tier.

[@PHXScotty]

I last played right when Guardian came out. I remember grinding those naga's once you get to desert and a zerker came out of nowhere and slammed me so I was stunned, did some big move, then grabbed and slammed me and I died.

Have you tried out Lahn? Succ is one of the best in PvE (Only have to use like 4 skills not counting movement), and Awakening is one of the best in 1v1/Small-scale. Succ is also a terrorist in largescale, she's like a freakn Eagle with how she can swoop in get a kill and fly away again.
