[@AlexandrosNewWorld]

Thank you very much bro! Tanking is very fun, you should try it! Ofc at the beginning you will melt, but after some time you will learn to 1vX! :D

[@josephochsner34]

Do you ever use onslaught abilities? I’m going so a similar play style but I have relentless rush instead of roaring rupture and I have shield bash instead of shield rush on.

[@AlexandrosNewWorld]

@@josephochsner34 Hi bro! I have occasionally used Onslaught abilities as I love their animations. My problem is that in a 1vX scenario, none of the GS abilities have Grit, except for Rupture. Grit is important while casting abilities, as they renew your shield, and give you fortify. Thus, as a GS player, you will melt in 2 seconds without those buffs. If you play however as an assassin, Onslaught tree makes more sense. Regarding the shield perks, they do make sense to me. The only reason I have not used Shield Bash, is because GS does not have a super impactful ability that NEEDS to be set up, and the heavy attack damage is not as great as the one of Warhammer.

[@josephochsner34]

@@AlexandrosNewWorld I see yeah for the shield I might switch bash out for rush I feel like there’s extra mobility helps also. And I see makes sense on the greatsword I like relentless rush to like sometimes get repositioned throw out a heavy then swap or use a defiance stance ability to get my defense back up.

[@AlexandrosNewWorld]

@@josephochsner34 I totally get what you are trying to do. Having a bit of mobility and the ability to go full out offense for a few seconds is something I loved to do. In fact, I used to play like this! Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWWpZqalqsR7ras

[@clashwithcutty7175]

I usually run a Spartan Tank Spear SNS, but I came across one of these and swapped it to a GS SNS tank, and I am loving it. I try to maximize more dps than your build, so it is a little different. I am interested in your thoughts on the void darkplate. I use it and have it at 725, but I am wondering if the survivor's coat and the endless thirst pairing (I think that is one) might be better. Do you have any thoughts on this? I am also looking at maybe another artifact to increase DPS on armor, but I can't seem to find it. Maybe winged boots, but you are rarely hasted on GS. Any thoughts on this? thanks, and it's a great video.

[@AlexandrosNewWorld]

Oh bro, my next vid is about that! First of all, I LOVE the Spartan build (SNS/Spear) and I would like to play it one day! How does it feel? Do u have any fights? Regarding Darkplate, I like it overall as it was the "best" artifact to pair with a Tank using Shirking Heals. Now I am using Survivor's Coat and I LOVE IT. Endless Thirst + Coat = Huge regen. Imagine if you also add Shirking Heals on that! Endless has not dropped for me yet, but it is my first priority. Once I have both, I will try to add either SH, or Slash Cond and see how I can 1vX! If you want DPS, you kinda need Onslaught like you mentioned. For Speed, I add Keen Speed on Sword or Shield, so I have 40% extra speed (Keen + passive from SNS). :D

[@clashwithcutty7175]

@ I love the spartan. I used to do video guides on clash of clans and stopped but maybe I should do some videos . Once I get my gear down to max I think I might do that. Currently I do not have any videos. I have played since release and spartan has been my favorite build. It has evolved over the years. I was loving it this season then I ran into hatchet players that I could beat about 40% of the time and vs a GS /SNS built right , I literally had no chance. So I built one and it is so much fun. I used to use shirking heals but with the nerf to stamina with doge in heavy I find it hard to justify dodging. But maybe. I absolutely own hatchet and once they realize they are doing no damage to me and I’m hitting them with heavy attacks they run. So I want to roll a new sword because I have the inductor from. The raid and I can pick three perks. I’m struggling to decide though. I currently have a sword with keen speed and I was told it stacked. I see the wurm pants with keen speed now so I really wanted to get those so o could take it off my sword. All that being said, I was literally testing this last night and it seems like the speed doesn’t stack! I was hitting things and on buff is 7 seconds and one is 5. I did it like ten times and when the 5 second buff wears off I saw no noticeable difference in speed. Try it out and see what you find. If I take it off sword I’m leaning toward penetrating empowered/pen backstab and arboreal or something .

[@AlexandrosNewWorld]

@clashwithcutty7175 Thanks for the reply mate! For some reason YT did not notify me about your reply, hence my delayed response. Cheers for the information - I have not yet done the Wurm expedition, ever, but the pants do look interesting. Normally those 2 keen speed should not stack. Just throwing an idea here, what if instead of Keen Speed on Sword, you added it on your Kite Shield?! :D

New to the game and on the hunt for gear at level 65. Where would you recommend to farm for this kinda gear as a solo player? Your build looks really fun and I kinda want to try out a tank build

Hi bro! Welcome to the most fair PVP experience you will ever have in an MMO. :D Easy farm: Frigid Dawn set from Glacial Expedition. Heavy with Ench Ward + Elem Aversion + 1 perk of your choice. It's 700 gearscore. For 725, you will need to craft your set slowly with time - but until then, Frigid set is awesome.

[@AlexandrosNewWorld]

Tower Shield = more defense, u consume less stam when taking hits. Kite Shield = Less defense, u consume more stam when taking hits, but u can add more aggressive perks such as Counter Attack. Currently I have Kite because I found it for 20g on Trading Post hahahaha. If you are playing Greatsword, I would go for Immutable Resolve - though I have never dropped it, and I have never seen anyone dropping it.

@@frankjr7830 Hey bro! Actually u can farm a BIS heavy set (Frigid Dawn) really fast from Glacial Dungeon. It's pretty much endgame, and the only thing that I would perhaps use much later, is a crafted set at 725. GS score doesnt matter - 700 is more than enough.

Y but he plays light melee. Kinda hard matchup for him

[@AlexandrosNewWorld]

@@PC-ms3pp You are spot on!

[@roycedesilva7617]

Also with splitting between Dex and strength. I understand that the GS is 80% between the 2 stats. But why not go all strength so that it does both the S&S and GS?

[@AlexandrosNewWorld]

Solid question: This is because GS is my main source of dmg. Sword is used to put Disease and Trenchant Rend on enemy. GS is used to kill. So, 100 STR and 100DEX on Greatsword, is better than 200STR. The damage scales better like that :D

How do you counter defensive stance on greatsword as a melee. Everything seems to be blocked as im getting chunked down? Try timing knockdowns between heavies or jsut try to block break? I am SNS/SPEAR user and cant seem to touch their block stam

[@AlexandrosNewWorld]

Hey bro, the key to counter me is to time the seconds between each of my attacks. The blue shield does NOT last for the whole duration of the attack, so you can either dodge and hit, or trade blows with me. Look at my previous video, the SNS/Spear I fight is actually very decent.

[@michaellaura7218]

Love the Great Sword it’s one of my favorite weapons but it’s no good in PvP , it’s just too slow.

[@AlexandrosNewWorld]

I love it too bro! Just like every weapon, the GS also has some advantages and disadvantages. However, under conditions, it can be deadly. It's offensive tree (this is the one you use I assume), makes you attack faster - at the expense of stamina - and you get 15% extra dmg. It CAN be deadly, but it needs to be balanced and thus it is obviously slower than Hatchet, and it's skills do NOT have grit, as enemies need to be able to interrupt you. Since I am usually outnumbered, I focus on the defensive tree of the GS, and I limit my dmg, while I increase my survivability :D

It is a beautiful action game, believe me! All you see is a Tank 1v2 and assume its a braindead overpowered build that sucks. But what you are missing is the fact that he plays very smart around his cooldowns and has a very high skill and knowledge on that setup, also the enemys are not the best (for example stacking his calamity Counter). Trust me, its a good Game, and trust me, this is way harder than it looks mate😊

[@AlexandrosNewWorld]

To add to what @DeckardMain said, it is also about what your preferences are. If you want fast combat, playing with Rapier/Spear/Bow/Hatchet and Light Armor will provide a 100% different experience. I am a tank, and therefore I am slow, my attacks are slow, and my dmg sucks. The above weapons are exactly the opposite. Regarding my enemies, in all honesty I think they were pretty good! FFA zone is paradise for my build because even if they are 5v1, they are likely to hit each other, while I hit ALL of them.
