The time stamps are very helpful for people, thanks!

[@justhorse3584]

kung fun master is a joke or u said it because its really fun?

[@Jarke]

huh?

[@Ashliyna]

On the list for the timers you put Kung Fun Master instead of Kung Fu Master, I believe that is what he meant.

[@justhorse3584]

yes it is

[@sgoodz8463]

Hey man, just started to play bns and there isn't much up to date guides/videos. Just want to say thank you for the content, keep doing more it's helped me so much.

[@Jarke]

Yeah most of the guides are from when the game launched sadly, so I'm glad these have helped and thanks for watching! I got more guides coming too :)

[@3yebex]

Hello. I spent about the last hour while downloading B&S to learn more about the classes' playstyles and which one I wanted to roll. While your microphone quality isn't great, you managed to do what all the other videos could not which is helping me understand which classes to look into. Thank you very much!

[@Jarke]

Yeah I don't have a good mic at the moment sadly lol, but I'm glad the video helped that's why I made it.

[@Brazenn]

I'm reinstalling the game right now after taking a long break, and I wanted to say this video was perfect for me to get caught up on what the classes did. The extra information about where the classes fit in to parties with buffing and/or utilities in the current game meta was extremely helpful, and will help me decide what class to roll. Anyway, you got a new sub and thanks for making this video!

[@Jarke]

Thanks for the kind words that's what I make these for! Also I'm curious what class did you pick are considering at the moment?

[@Brazenn]

I chose Blade Master! The "tanky melee DPS" archetype is one that I often play in most games, so your description sold me LOL. I'll play around some with it, but I might try another one or two before I commit to making my main character. Other ones I'm considering are Warlock, Force Master, and Kung Fu Master.

[@Jarke]

Yeah Blade master is always a solid choice. What I did was have my main a melee cause I enjoy melee more and then my alt a ranged so I got both variations.

[@Nuvis]

Thanks for the video bro wasn't sure if i wanted to play this game but now im ready to play

[@jeffreyackerman9089]

great work man.. im preparing myself for the gunner launch and this kind of videos helps a lot to understand the game.. thanks a lot

[@Jarke]

Glad the video helped you, and I am myself I'm super excited to play some gunner!

[@sebastianmiranda9026]

THANKS YOU HELPED ME A LOT SINCE I AM THE LAUNCHING THE GAME RN

[@Jarke]

No problem, glad I could help!

[@Jarke]

Thank you everyone for 10k+ views!!!!

[@sellersandfriendsvirtualcu6253]

Very informative. Thanks! And true, Warlock is so goddamn fun to play. Can't wait to try it in PvP tho.

[@Jarke]

Thanks for watching! The Warlock is strong in PVP so you should have a good time!

[@sorenityarts2519]

Video helped out so much since I'm currently in the middle of installing BnS cause I got bored of this game called Kritika. Subbed and thanks for the info, might choose something PvE based and are mechanically difficult/creative combos. Any suggestions? ( besides assassin, is there anymore? )

[@Jarke]

Glad the video helped! KFM is a great choice also as they have strong PvE aspects because they can be a tank and they also have fast paced difficult to maintain combos that are rewarding.

[@denniswagnermeyer6239]

am a bit late just wanted to let you know that I like the way you talk. And also a great video.

[@vladimiralvarez6628]

thanks! i find only old old videos. thanks for making this. the meta still the same? i started this morning XD

[@zwiirek7825]

thank you for making the video :) subbed

[@Jarke]

Thank you for watching and the sub, glad you enjoyed the vid!

[@saphonix998]

just launched the game for the first time thanks for the information

[@blackbeard5886]

Hey Jarke! I like the video alot was just wondering if what you said about the warlock still applies since im now installing the game and looking towards it! Thanks!

[@Jarke]

BlackBeard Yep, everything still applies. The Warlock still has top tier DPS and is strong in PVP. Also their soulburn buff is still the most sought after skill for parties making them always wanted.

[@vietcongwarlord8673]

Thank you it really helped i subbed i'm your 363rd sub.

[@Jarke]

I'm glad the video helped you. Thanks a ton for the sub!

[@ikki1752]

Thank you very much ^_^ it helped me a lot!

[@Solid-yv7yt]

Helpful video (y)

[@ThiqqOrangeLeria]

The only thing i just 'learned' is that the first class that he introduced has a high skill cap...and well every class is wanted for parties and does have a cool power that is useful in those parties...yay

[@Jarke]

What classes were you interested in playing, and I can give a more detailed explanation.

[@camn5865]

Ah thank you so much! Its kinda out-of-date BUT it was still very useful so thanks. :)

[@TrXmAst]

Thank you for vid i was looking in to game and you made me chose my class thanks

[@Jarke]

Thank you for watching :) and just curious what class did you pick?

[@TrXmAst]

Soul Fighter Looks fun so far.

[@humami6877]

Thank you! It's a big accomplishment for me!

[@brianbach5096]

[@Jarke]

Already in the works !!

[@brianbach5096]

haha can't wait for that

[@vladimiralvarez6628]

I subbed and like OBVIUSLY

[@Jarke]

Thanks :)

[@justbeintacosbro9039]

Heyy, Broski I am currently downloading the game Blade and Soul. I prefer support classes that has Buffs, Debuffs, Heals, etc. I actually want to get away from that and play something that is versitile yet is tanky and can take aggro from the mobs you know? Any tips or advice when choosing my Class/Race.

[@Jarke]

The two tank classes in this game are Blademaster and KungFuMaster. If you enjoy like a sword class then BM is for you. And if you enjoy a up close combat fist class KFM is for you. Both are great tanks and do good damage. So deciding on which playstyle you enjoy more is up to you. As for race Jin is the typical human default type race. It's one of my favorites. Yun is the female only one so if you don't want to play a female that narrows it down, and Gon is like Jin just for the male more muscular and taller. Hope that helps and thanks for watching the vid :)

[@creamybreadstick2332]

Summoner have a lot of different moves too Wich is sweet cus there's so much u can do

[@happyduke99]

How about gunner? Can you give a little description for them? Ty

[@Jarke]

High DPS ranged class. They have the highest DPS in the game at the moment so if you enjoy ranged classes and you want just pure high DPS it's the class for you. Pretty easy to play too.

[@fiorlineeu9541]

Please make another detailed video ^^

[@Jarke]

On classes again?

[@shermanowney1971]

the blade master have been top class champ in esports for years in asia and the west To say that the class is mid to low tier is just crazy and Uninformed

[@Jarke]

I meant in terms of DPS and even at this time period it's mid tier, but if you're looking for tanking they do that well.

[@szaka9395]

summoner 2019?

[@Dive-ys4ol]

Hey man i have a question: i have No idea Which class i should play, but i like playing a bit team protecting/sword player with decent pvp as Well.

[@Jarke]

Blademaster is 100% of what you described, so I would definitely go that.

[@dystro8998]

I don't know what class can i play, i'm downloading the game and idk how play this game, what is the best class for new players ?

[@mlgbblade5221]

Dystrophia play warden

[@gorankranjcec9523]

is blade dancer still the stronges?cuz im new i wanna play something like blade dancer assassin and warlock...

[@Jarke]

All 3 have great DPS currently so honestly it's just playstyle preference, but remember Assassin and Warlock have a party buff and BD does not (has a grab) instead. So that might make a difference to you.

[@gorankranjcec9523]

ty

[@cheek6281]

This is how many times he said “um”

[@josegregoriovalencia]

what do u say about summoner vs warlocks? i want a class with high DPS and required in team hunts or dungeons whatever... summoner can heal them, also they have a summon just the same as warlocks right? so what is better?

[@Jarke]

Warlock is easily the most wanted class in parties, because of their Soulburn ability which is very op for parties. They also have very high DPS also they're ranged so it's hard to die on them. I personally enjoy them a lot. Summoner's have decently high DPS also. The main difference of them is that they can stealth parties which is useful for certain dungeons also they are probably the most safe class as dying on them never really ever happens. Also they have some heals so that's nice too. So if you want just pure huge DPS and the most wanted class then go Warlock. Also another factor is if you would wanna even play a Lyn since Summoner is Lyn exclusive.

[@josegregoriovalencia]

hello, thanks for the quick reply, i started a warlock but found out that his summon doesn't last long only about 30 seconds, is summoner's summon (the cat) last forever or something? or just the same as warlock's summon?

[@Jarke]

No, the Summoner's summon is their cat which is always with them so they're definitely different in that sense.

[@gelokitty8179]

Is there a SEA server? Is there any lag issues if u connect from Asia to a NA server?

[@Jarke]

No there is not. As for lag issues people still have lag issues on NA servers while living in NA, so honestly if you live in Asia I recommend just going with the servers either in Taiwan or Korea.

[@udonlarge]

Yes, there is a Thailand server that was opened in May (published by Garena). It has an unofficial english patch much like Taiwan. Though they are behind in terms of content there's still a fair amount to play if you wish to try it out. BnS is a very ping reliant game so the closer you are to your server the better your experience will be (Asia > NA ping is not something I'd recommend playing with even with a booster).

[@avekrso285]

Is it possible to be competative with a blade master in pvp? I wanted to roll one but the kung fu master sounds just more op

[@Jarke]

Sorry about the late reply KZbin is crappy sometimes. As for your question KFM is no doubt a stronger pvp class as once you master their mechanics their cc and damage is insane. As for blademaster like every class in pvp depends on your own skill. If you have great ping and know the correct combos for BM in pvp you will succeed. So it's a tricky question but to try to answer it, it's more on the player than the class.

[@r3venge908]

Whats the best race for highping? My WiFi is bad, my laptop´s too so... Please help me :(

[@Jarke]

I believe you mean class? I actually made a video talking about what classes are best for people with bad wifi (Ping) check it out and lemme know if it helps :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ2omJl-bbiqipo

[@r3venge908]

Haha yeah Actually saw it yesterday, just found it like random Thanks anyways And yes I meant class xd

[@Jarke]

R3VENGE Thanks for watching, and did you happen to pick a class?

[@zeene1542]

Summoner :x

[@fedoragt6289]

blade dancer, summoner and warlock.... ummm hard to choose eh xD

[@Jarke]

BD if you want high melee DPS, WL if you want decent ranged DPS and the most wanted ability in the game. Or Sum if you wanna do a little bit of everything. (tank, heal, party stealth, dps)

[@fedoragt6289]

anytip on BD?

[@Jarke]

Just practice animation canceling with your LMB + F and learning your s as any melee class will need to rely on them for hard end game bosses.

[@robinrobsrkluxhien8273]

THANKS JARKE ... Catmint

[@SharoRioni]

Hey, what do you think is the best class for a high ping player? And which ones - besides Kung Fu Master and Assassin - you wouldn't recommend in that case?

[@Jarke]

Summoner is most likely the best for high ping, warlock and FM are also good choices for higher ping players. If you got higher ping I also wouldn't recommend BD or BM.

[@jjojon7072]

so the warlock would be the best for support out of the three mentioned?

[@Jarke]

What do you mean when you say support?

[@mahmoudemad4505]

hey am new in this game and i was actully looking for a close range melee class and a dps monster in both pve and pvp and i thought maybe BD or assassin what do u think?

[@Jarke]

Both are exactly what you want (high melee DPS and super strong in PVP) as to which you should choose it depends on just a few preferences. For one Blade Dancers can only be the lyn race so if you don't like being a short rat guy/girl you might not want to even pick Blade Dancer. Playstyle wise besides the very high DPS they have unique benefits for parties. So the Assassin has a party buff that increases DPS for everyone which is really useful, the Blade Dancer has a grab which can grab any boss when it is stunned/dazed and allow the party to freely DPS for a couple seconds. Overall I picked Blade Dancer because I simply enjoy classes with blades and since the Blade Dancer is more damage focused than Blade Master I went with them, but ya I hope that helped again it's just really preference both are perfect for what you want.

[@mahmoudemad4505]

Jarke well the size doesnt actully matters if am going to be op besides its good that BDs are small it will make me feel like am moving freely so BD for me then thank you so much buddy u did great in this vid please keep it up

[@Jarke]

Good choice :) and thanks for watching!

[@zino2370]

blade and soul vs revelation online !? wich one is better for u

[@papercuz6656]

Who is broken to play? And who is the most mechanical and strong?

[@Jarke]

Sorry never saw this comment. Warlock is the strongest class in PVP rn and is insanely strong in PVE so I would consider them broken.

[@Jarke]

As far as mechanical KFM is relying heavily on mechanics

[@colorblind3295]

Knew it was old video when he said desolate tomb is hard 😂

[@duzty122]

what is considered high ping?

[@jayllanillo7633]

Watching after quitting Revelation Online.

[@boygieimas7942]

hi anyone can give me link for english pacth..

[@DaggAdyric]

Any thoughts on the new Gunslinger class?

[@Jarke]

Right now it's probably the 2nd if not the highest DPS class. Most likely will be getting a nerf honestly. PVP wise they're pretty bad in general, but like all the classes if you're skilled enough with it you can still climb.

[@liljuice8554]

are the servers still populated? thinking about downloading

[@Jarke]

Yeah all the servers are pretty well populated. The most popular ones are Mushin and Poh.

[@insanityedg963]

thanks dude can we play together ??

[@Jarke]

Well I'm on Soha.

[@richardkim3652]

is this game dead...? i hear people say its dead and some say it aint like 50/50

[@Jarke]

It's definitely not dead. Especially with the huge Gunslinger update that just came out today, a TON of new players are playing. It's never gonna be as big as it was at launch but that was due to the massive hype, but the game is definitely at a healthy state.

[@richardkim3652]

oh thanks for replying back :D do you know which server is the best and healthy? i played this game right when it came out and forgot everything lol

[@Jarke]

Well they created two mega servers so now there's Zulia and Yura so only two to choose from. Both are very populated so really can't lose. Also starting now again is a good idea, because they really made everything easier for new players unlike at how launch was.

[@richardkim3652]

Thanks :D for the info keep up the good work :D

[@Jarke]

No problem and thanks for the support!

[@torimackenzie1612]

Are there any really good healers?

[@Jarke]

There's no traditional healer in Blade and Soul, but Summoner can heal pretty good for themselves.

[@mahmoudemad4505]

soul fighters heals are op they can heal themselves and party aswell and they also increase max hp to all party so..

[@dr.arubata]

funny when you say Destroyer is DPS class

[@BarokaiRein]

LoL! ''A good one can take aggro from the tank'' Isn't that the definition of horrible dps who can't control their aggro? You're not a good dps if you do so much dps the tank loses aggro,you're a horrible one if you do that.

[@Buggiboi13]

Male Gons get no love in the game.

[@Nomad-bl4yw]

Destroyer is low tier! Whaat have u ever seen a bt geared des!?and in pvp with nice ping u can win in 3 secs

[@Jarke]

Well yeah it's low tier, if you gear it fully with BT of course it's gonna do a lot of DPS, but that goes with any class if it's geared.

[@izabelamucha312]

OMG your repeating is so anoying, over all alright but seriously u got to work on it mate

[@Jarke]

Well it was a 20+ min video some repeating might happen lol

[@randompemo]

WOW this video was excruciating to get through. He stumbles over his words constantly and I couldnt count how many times he says 'um, but yeah' and OH MY GOD he repeats himself so many times, talks in circles, and says 'DPS' HUNDREDS OF TIMES. He barely has any solid info on the classes, just basic opinions. He'll say 'theyre definitely not top tier for sure but yeah, no theyre great with DPS' and 10 other versions of that sentence. Barely has anything to say about how the character is played, says nothing about customizing or weapons or anything that a video with his description should have. Really not helpful.

[@Jarke]

Ashley Macdonald this video is almost 2 years old give me a break rofl

[@MasterZhao]

Nice informative video. Good Job! A little advice tho, try using a script for these types of videos as it will hit key points and be a bit more concise, but well done.
