You can save yourself that 250k AD on the soul shield by doing the Acquisition Incorporated Adventure! (thx to those for pointing it out) - If you feel you will be using the gear for a long time, you can spend some extra Diamonds to get Armor Kits and Jewels of Awareness, and Critical Avoidance for your gear slots! - If against Spiders & Drow be sure to pick up and use the Shirt: Bregan D'aerthe Mercenary's Tunic for 8% damage reduction! - Keep in mind you also have a power (which i did not mention) Knight's Valor, which I would use instead of line breaker in some boss fights. However you need to tell your healer to not stand close to you, and to have a Dps within range of it's effect to work. It needs coordination to work effectively.

[@dragonsithy6517]

can you a warlock build

[@TheWorryingWolverine]

Well, i collected around 2k Flower Petals from the daily Summer Festival event quest with an alt. character, turned them into Pinatas, and got enough rare mount insignias for a similar selection of mount passive bonuses, not sure if one of the epic event mounts can fit into your build, but using one of them would also save you some more AD. Anyway, very good video, would be great if you would decide to make a "Budget Builds" series out of it.

[@Mardagayl]

Steel good video?

[@SergioHenriqueOliveiraS]

Please, do this for other classes too, new players do not have ad nor IL to farm those endgame itens from every buld out there. Also, the amount of armor, weapons, mounts and companions make things worse since we do not know what is good and what is not worth spendind precious ad. A budget 60k IL is everything I want

[@earlgrey1745]

i just started playing the game 2 days ago and this guide helped me so much understanding some fundamental things. thank you very much for your effort you´ve put into this guide.

[@Aragon-]

good to hear, thanks :D

[@julienfrisson9372]

Impressive continue format video good job for news player ! ;)

[@accordingtoyamsz1542]

Aragon ur keeping this game alive single handedly. Meanwhile, while ur making useful content, theres other so called content creators trying to shut u down with their extra weak “content” that revolves mostly around u. Cant even remember the guys name. Hes probably in ur comment section 😂 Mind boggling shit. Keep up the good work nw should pay u really

[@pudelinocacalat2951]

Much needed video 🎉

[@TANKERzz1]

Would you be able to do a vanguard playthrough in an advanced dungeon please? I know there are videos out there but I prefer your style of how you narration and how you explain things. It's much needed!!

[@tjolsonmcse]

My first toon was a fighter. I still have her, but I never learned how to tank. I will use this to help spec her out, and look forward to your gameplay video.

[@Aragon-]

Cheers. Posted the gameplay video. Link in the description

[@tjolsonmcse]

@@Aragon- Thank you. Maybe my fighter can finally come out of retirement and see some action.

[@SleepyToffee8837]

Would love to see a warlock build but I'm gonna go try out tank now thank you

[@rickchrisman3]

Yes a Warlock Healer would be great

[@0Jsays]

Comps id also recommend: undying overlord (damage resistance), frozen galeb duhr (more damage resistance)slotted, intellect devourer (mobs) and blink dog (bosses) as summoned.

[@ogulcanbuyukcalik]

I just started the game and your video helped me a lot, just wanna ask what should i go with my ability scores i am almost 20lv and didnt use any of those.

[@giorgiodoe3257]

nice video bud. hope that vid increase somehow the population of the tanks in game cause they are not enough. And I get why. One of the major issues with tanks is that even if a mob is dead tanks of any class stay in combat and that is a major issue especially for paladins who can not refil the devinity like they should do when out of combat. The result is goning into the next mob in 3-5 sec with no diviniti to cast encounters that keep you alive or let you keep aggro. Maybe you should do a video on this to raise awareness on the subject. Maybe Cryptic will finally give a crap about a major issue like this

[@Aragon-]

The staying in combat thing, is usually a result of the clerics healing mark. It is bugged to make you stay in combat, and yeah it sucks, especially when playing paladin tank. I usually tell them to not mark me.

[@giorgiodoe3257]

@@Aragon- it happens with any kind of Tank and any kind of healer in group to me at least. I will investigate and I ll get back to you

[@nicodiangelo2898]

Wow i created fighter yesterday to try playing as tank

[@DropToon]

Im literally going to make a fighter tank today

[@johngillan4475]

Many thanks. I would love to see a cleric build.

[@Aragon-]

can do :D

[@DropToon]

What race would uou recommend i have them all, and where should i place my stat points in?

[@DanielMorales-uu3ig]

Excellent job, it helped me a lot upon my return. Will you have a video like this for Rogué, so we can start on the right foot? I would appreciate it very much, I have 3 million astral. Thank you very much, I hope you read me and can help me.

[@Aragon-]

will with the next module

[@joelynott]

If I remember correctly, you can get a green combat enchantment for free doing acquisition incorporated.

[@damianmiszczak1719]

Mind telling me If I wanted to change my demo set on my GF dps would IT be better to go for marilith or shroomwood set?

[@Aragon-]

Stay Demo, unless you want to support the team with extra damage from marilith. Unfortunately Fighter Dps has too long cooldowns to make shroomwood work effectively.

[@TheGioYani]

Have you done a bard minstrel build? That's one I would love to see.

[@Aragon-]

not yet, will do

[@topsukka222isogge3]

Nice video :) now I'm wondering if I can create a 2 account which I buy vip with real money like on my first account. it up and thus refine 100k AD on 2 accounts every day? That would be a very well spent 1 million. That would be just 10 days after the level phase and extra days with ad realizations.

[@Aragon-]

You can, but it is against terms of service to transfer items between 2 accounts you own.

[@Louvenoire05]

How can I get more diamonds? I reached level 20 yesterday after doing all the adventure quests and I had about 350k diamonds. I was able to get quite a few of the things you recommended, I couldn’t get the swarm which is very expensive. And I’m a bit short of diamonds to get the Angel companion. Also the Epic Galeb Duhr has 0 player combat rating. But the rare, uncommon and frozen epic seem to all have battle rating. The frozen ofc being insane expensive for almost 1 million. It has the same stats as the unfrozen version except that it has 350 combat rating. Also I got the Vahalla set and the bonus set has a completely different bonus to it then you listed here. Thanks so much. As a new player your help is invaluable and very much appreciated. 😎😌

[@Aragon-]

Random queues is the best way to start. Do your skirmish and random dungeon everyday

[@Aragon-]

The Valhalla set bonus will reduce the enemies damage when they hit you.

[@Louvenoire05]

@@Aragon- it may have been one kind of glitch because now when I check the set bonus it shows, that description. But it said something completely different before.

[@TANKERzz1]

I am currently IL 36,000, and I can't seem to grab aggro using enforced Threat.... I noticed that the dps's are 70k + IL, is there an "aggro" stat that I can boost?

[@Aragon-]

It puts you 10% above the person with the highest threat. It works, but most effective on bosses. Damage = threat

[@2197nad]

Hey Aragon does dedicated squire heal the summoner only or heal the whole group in a group

[@Aragon-]

It heals the whole group

[@2197nad]

@@Aragon- ah ok cheers

[@gustavo_lopes]

It's possible to get a combat enchantment from adventures, so maybe not worth 250k on it, since we get one for free later

[@gustavo_lopes]

The acquisitions incorporated adventure gives it

[@Aragon-]

Good point, good point !

[@savamitov28]

Do you know any ways to mitigate the super long cooldowns for Fighter DPS, while keeping the stats/item level up? I'm about done with the 3 pieces of dragon heart artifacts

[@Aragon-]

not really, your stuck just with pretty long cooldowns, and a hard hitting at-will

[@mikajv11]

​@@Aragon- There are some options...but you have to sacrifice two mount insignia bonuses. Plus, that's why they made heavy slash (at-will) so powerful, to compromise long encounters CD. With right timing (depending on the boss mechanics and phases) no other power in game can compare with it :)

[@auvi7718]

can you do one of these for wizard

[@LightBlueSabers]

Have you done a ranger build yet?

[@Aragon-]

not yet

[@akshatmarya]

Hello, thank you for the guide, you mentioned that the angel of protection should be upgraded to mythic, but then in your top 10 list, the angle of protection is not there? Confused, please clarify if that should be upgraded, or like get the top 10 ones, and then upgrade those to save on costs of upgrade tokens!

[@Aragon-]

If you can get an alternative of those top 10 instead then do. They can just be pretty expensive depending on time and platform. It's up to you.

[@akshatmarya]

@@Aragon- Thank you for clarifying! I also had another question about neck, waist, and artifact pieces. For artifacts, I should get mythllar set, how about the neck and waist piece?

[@Aragon-]

Stay with the Valhalla set. You can use the mythallar artifacts for the stats and as primary

[@akshatmarya]

@@Aragon- thanks!

[@igotspeed3848]

Is it possible to use same/similar equipment but just on a paladin

[@Aragon-]

yep, absolutely! Nothing would change if I am to do it for Paladin and Barbarian tanks

[@Aragon-]

just keep in mind, you can save yourself the 250k AD on that soul shield, by doing the Acquisitions Incorporated Adventure

[@igotspeed3848]

Brilliant ty

[@ObeySkiiiTv]

Do more please

[@abstractcullinairycreation7108]

makes it pretty hard to share your videos to my guild which isnt level 20 when youre constantly telling them to leave for a lvl 20 guild. you share lots of good info that i would love for my people to have. i really wish youd stop encouraging everyone to abandon developing guilds

[@Aragon-]

Noted, thx for the feedback. I will keep it in mind

[@josephgilbert1152]

Don't tell these newbies to join level 20 guilds just going to hurt their feelings when they pm for runs and get ignored. 😅

[@maninhokyo]

Please, do it for gf dps!!!!

[@Louvenoire05]

I didn’t understand too much as I’m only level 3 for fighter. I better start leveling. I die a lot, is something wrong? I block and attack at good timing. These injury kits are too expensive. I only have 2 silver lol 😂 I hope to get to level 20, so I can try out real tanking. Thanks for making these. I just started on the game today.

[@Aragon-]

Take time to get used to the controls. While leveling focus on dealing damage to kill things. Take your time. You can watch me leveling tips video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKankH2Qgteml6M
