EVERYONE sucks (and that's okay) - PvP lessons and analysis | Albion Online 2024 | Mists

This is a series where I break down fights and take you through my exact thought process in PvP in Albion Online. You get to learn the lessons that I have recently learned from seeing both me and my opponents.
If you want to get better at PvP, you are going to love the 'PvP Academy' playlist. It's full of useful PvP-related lessons and detailed fight breakdowns - • Albion PvP Academy
For some more basic level guides and ideas, check out 'Albion Fundamentals' - • Albion Fundamentals

[@VicZaneGaming]

If you watched until the end and are wondering what was the special lesson of last Carving fight: Despite being top50 PvP fame, the Carving player was so ashamed that right after our fight he suicided a bunch of times on his island to try to hide the death from his in-game profile. I hope that my videos can help you avoid that and instead embrace your failures and misfortunes so that you will never feel bad about somebody else knowing that you are human and make a lot of mistakes (in Albion Online PvP).

did he really do this? lol

Your videos are great, they’ve really been helping. Specially my favorite tip “stop bitching while you play” I’ll be honest since hearing that. I’ve been repeating it to myself when I have an irritating death or situation and I’ve been able to keep my peace and learn from it. So thanks!

[@VicZaneGaming]

I'm so very happy to know that the videos are helping you enjoy the PvP process and get better!

[@jeffermigarnado5138]

thanks vic, i lose a lot of time but now i enjoy pvp whenever i lose or win. Im at the point that gets excited everytime i enter mist and find different type of build to fight

[@VicZaneGaming]

Damn that is amazing! Getting excited from entering the PvP environment is the best mental state you can ask for in Albion!

[@JunyiCheng]

Great videos, always informative ❤ "It doesnt matter how many times you lose, its about how many times you get back up stronger."

[@VicZaneGaming]

Absolutely true!! And thank you

[@matthewmammothswine4395]

Hello! I just found your channel and I think this type of content is so fun to watch. Your fights are stock full of the info you need and despite knowing most of it there are some things which I haven’t thought of before. Thank you for making these and I hope you can make some more! ❤

your videos are always on point thank you first and for most i would love to see you do videos weekly like on weekends i would really be happy since i have been playing the game as a new player ever since EU lunched + please do a video on all the best PC settings to help with 1v1,5v5,20v20 and ZvZ

[@zenn_dragon]

I used to really like spears back in the Beta, but guilds I went to play in always told me not to use them. It's nice to know they're still really strong.

[@VicZaneGaming]

1h spear and daybreaker and both in a very good place right now, yeah. Both feel like very strong A-tier weapons and it's such an amazingly rewarding feeling to win fights on a spear when you feel that you outplayed your opponent.

[@frikipster7911]

amazing video bro !

[@tensorfeld295]

This is harder than science.

[@albiononline-u6w]

thank you so much for these videos i hope you do a weekly videos like every weekend i would really love that since im a new player been playing ever sincde EU lunched + please do PC best settings for pvp since all the videos i watched are not up to date

[@VicZaneGaming]

Thanks for the great energy and feedback!! I am striving towards a weekly schedule and will hopefully be able to do that soon! Also I'm noting down the idea about settings which I haven't really even thought about.

[@mydreamyao]

another great video thanks~~ any good tips vs prowling staff? so far what I leant is just RUN!!!

[@VicZaneGaming]

After all the nerfs to shapeshifters and prowling specifically, they are no longer that scary. It's still difficult to fight against polymorph but you can often just win by trading with them. If possible, try to do big damage when they are transformed and save some sort of defensive for their triple Q execute combo. Running away if you see that they are using polymorph, is also a fine strategy :)

[@mydreamyao]

@@VicZaneGaming yeah I was hoping polymorph to have a bit longer cd lol, 0.4sec casting time does seem to be a little easier to be dodged thank you for your advice~~

[@Harlem6J]

i sucked so bad in mists so i went to cds and am doing okay. the issue for me is i plan it all out in my head but i spaz when fighting xd. ur content is pretty good tho

[@VicZaneGaming]

Very relatable! Everything PvP related is much easier in theory. But one thing I really enjoy is how knowing the possible things that SHOULD or CAN happen makes me much faster and better at reacting to it when it actually happens.

[@Harlem6J]

@@VicZaneGaming yep also do you have a discord server

[@VicZaneGaming]

I don't have one yet but I'll make one in the near future, once I'm more confident that I'll have the time to manage it and put energy into making it a good place :)

[@juancitens]

hi Vic, this videos be really goods, i learn to much for you! One question, dude, what weapons it's meta in mist? Sry my English, saludos desde argentina!

[@VicZaneGaming]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Saludos!! Your question way too general though :)) There are many meta weapons and builds. For a very short list of S and A tier options, consider Carving, Prowling, Double-bladed, Bloodletter, 1h Spear, Daybreaker, Wildfire, Dual Swords. But there are many more viable options.

[@brabbits5308]

Vic, can u give me tips about how to play deathgiver

[@grimkray5284]

Carving when T_T, I keep dying on carving especially on spears/fire staff

[@bettersuppwins]

Your last fight against the prawler reminds me of my last death with 6.4 awaken 1h cursed against a battle axe with 2 tiers lower than me 😂 I was so cocky that I used beef stew instead of puremist even tho I missed my first full combo and I also got my wanderlust purged while using my robe 😂 I hope I learned my lesson this time using puremist for long brawls and heavy dmg food only when I need to gang or rat someone, seems to work fine so far I haven't died with this week sweating build worth 60M, played 3 days without dying, it's a new record for law mobility 1h curse builds(at least for me 😂).

[@VicZaneGaming]

Pretty extreme stuff to play with 60m curse set!! I approve :) Also good on you to not be tilted but focus on the lesson. After I died to that prowler, I knew 100% it's time for me to take a break and close the game. Only realised my mistakes later when rewatching it.

[@bettersuppwins]

@@VicZaneGaming Sometimes is the best thing to do, just take a break for the day and come back later, otherwise you can lose even more. It's the 4th I'm already working on upgrades for the set, if I don't get stream sniped I should be able to make it to 1 week 😂

[@canaksu2507]

I am still waiting for the promised carving sword countering video man. I just can’t kill them neither with spear or dual swords. When I play carving, it’s so sluggish and I can’t do well.

[@VicZaneGaming]

You are absolutely right. I've collected a lot of carving clips but figuring out how to put the results into a clear-ish strategy is taking longer than I thought. Thanks for the reminder!

[@trysys9705]

14:49 why you dont rush him ?

[@VicZaneGaming]

Double-check if you put the correct timestamp! I'm looking at 14:49 but at that moment I have 1000 hp less than my opponent and I can't really go for the kill.

[@trysys9705]

@@VicZaneGaming 15:47 i meant you got your spells and low cds

[@VicZaneGaming]

That's a good question!! In the replay I realise that I could've been more aggressive there but in the moment I did not realise that he was not regening his last bar of health so there was no reason to push too hard when my jacket is on cooldown and he has everything ready.

[@antonioandre23]

another mistake I don't see comented on carving is even if they are close range and don't need to catch they use W->E, shouldn't they get the armor piercer first "E" and then damage with "W"?

[@VicZaneGaming]

This is very true.

[@Jeds-h4f]

Vic can You reach me a good build of spirithunter ?

[@trysys9705]

super cool video

[@MarcusVinicius-ho2li]

Amazing video bro, could you do the same for fists of avalon ? i'm thinking about change to gloves because i loved the gameplay style, but after your video, it seams to me that they are not so good for pvp 1v1 they cant win the brawler ritgh ? lol ( and yes i khow you said this guy made a lot of mistakes, but anyway, could you answer the ask please ? ) thanks bro

[@VicZaneGaming]

I doubt that I will myself play a lot of fists but you never know. It's not my favourite playstyle. And you are right, it's not really a weapon for brawling. The playstyle for fists of Avalon is to do a big burst of damage and then kite and avoid brawls until E is ready again. It doesn't mean that it's not good for 1v1 PvP, it's just a specific way of playing. You can still become very good with fists and win a lot of fights.

[@MarcusVinicius-ho2li]

@@VicZaneGaming oh, i see, so, you consider they as a good option to 1v1 anyway ? And again, thanks bro, a have been waching your guides, and bro... the quality of your videos are amazing !

[@VicZaneGaming]

@@MarcusVinicius-ho2li I'm very happy to know you enjoy the videos! And yeah, I think Fists of Avalon are very solid A or B+ tier weapon for solo mists right now!

[@Jeds-h4f]

Hello vic, i want to ask you, whats the best for pve? 1h Spear? Or something else? I play alone so i want to.make money gooing to dungeos etc, can you help me pls

[@VicZaneGaming]

Pretty much all spears are going to be decent for solo PvE with forest of spears W and life leech passive. If you want to clear mobs even faster, you can try out Spirithunter. As a sidenote, solo dungeons are pretty bad for making silver unless you specifically want to do something while watching Netflix or doing other things. Killing roaming mobs in the open world or mists will get you more silver even if you die a lot in the process, as long as you buy equipment that fits your budget (probably 4.1 or 4.2).

[@Jeds-h4f]

[@Ijustwannapump]

You aren't at a disadvantage gear wise if you have a 7.3/4.4 awakened weapons with traits vs a 6.3 weapon. Health Increased trait and ability damage really over shadow Ip increase.

[@spart-iwnl-7874]

i have a question, which passive is the best for 1v1?

[@VicZaneGaming]

Your question seems very general and unclear. Try to specify! If you are asking about 1h spear, then I suggest that you go with life leech 100%.

[@spart-iwnl-7874]

@@VicZaneGaming specifically asking for battleaxe, normally i use the bleed one, but i've seen ppl use either that or life steal/resis one and made me wonder if one is stronger than the rest or all are about the same and is just preference

[@spart-iwnl-7874]

@@VicZaneGaming .

[@VicZaneGaming]

@@spart-iwnl-7874 I'm not sure if there is a clear best choice. For the majority of regular 1v1s, I think the Increased Defense one feels best and I personally would default to that if I was going to take battleaxe into the Mists right now. But I've seen experienced battle axe players use both bleed as well as life leech also.
