[@Drakthar-f8t]

great video, really thank you! I have a question: i play with a shadow and necro heal. What build would you use, and what's the best tactict for you with this comp?

[@LFEHova]

@@Drakthar-f8t I would use wrath of thunder with that comp, since the assassin has great upfront burst. You want to also be as bursty upfront as possible so that you can secure the early kill and early 3v2 lead

[@khrylreunion4747]

Ty for the video, great insights. I would like to ask you which are ur primary focus/kill targets? We are playing warrior/barb/bard heal.

[@LFEHova]

@@khrylreunion4747 warrior/Barb has great healing debuff uptime. So you can go for anyone since you should be able to kill anyone through the healing. You just need to watch out for enemy healer DR which could prevent you from bursting someone. When I run with my warrior guildie, we prioritize the highest threat dps and just continuously lock them down. I also don’t always take leap, so if that’s the case, we just go on whoever is closest since we can’t reliably double jump someone if I don’t take leap.

[@Hawzee]

In terms of damage per second in the arena, to burst the enemy, is it better to go with Wrath or Thunder Axe?

[@chaninpinthong6520]

Great video man, I’m just wondering about the Inscribe stone. Some say it doesn’t work in arena. Can you clarify for me please. Thanks

[@LFEHova]

@@chaninpinthong6520 it 100% does not apply in arena. I have full resonance for my pve build, and if it worked, I would be getting inscribed at approx 70 seconds into the fight (which would be broken) We’ve also tested it when I ran into my guildies, none of the emblems apply in arena either

Thank you so much for your video. Can’t wait to test on the arena. Any tips for the combo rotation?

[@LFEHova]

@@GiovanniEldi 120 sec buff, stun, vulnerable, wrath of thunder (thunder axe, earthquake, wrath of thunder (thunder axe) There are other scenarios where the combo has to change but that’s the highest damage combo possible.

[@LFEHova]

@@MattiaCamilletti-u9j Yeah i saw no weaknesses with the build, except if my teammate doesn't play around me and i'm getting kited by ranged. i'm on throne and liberty beta right now though, so i haven't been playing the last few days.

@@LFEHova any pve tips bro ?

[@LFEHova]

@@gege-ex7be Sorry, I'm not really playing Tarisland anymore. Getting ready for T&L since PvP is my main focus in most games. You can use my thunder axe build, cause that is the same one I used in PvE and I was able to pull about 4.3k-4.5k on the target dummy without pre building or any buffs.

[@oM_New_Music]

Great vid!

[@LFEHova]

Thank you!

[@kresenjr3236]

can you teach your rotation/combo? what is your opening? when to use your skills?

[@LFEHova]

@@kresenjr3236 for which build? It’s also heavily dependent on what comp I’m running and who my opponents are. My standard opener is buff, stun, debuff, earthquake, wrath of thunder. But sometimes you can’t do that if your opponent is expecting you and is going to DR your target

[@LFEHova]

For the thunder axe build, I try to build as much as possible before committing to a fight. Then I also open with buff, stun, debuff, earthquake, if I’m close to max resources I build a little more to get to five discs, if I’m at 4 discs sometimes I just go. Try to sync your damage with your other dps cause the discs also buff your other dps’ damage by an additional 9%

[@kresenjr3236]

@@LFEHova maybe just add commentary on the fights it would really help a lot to understand it better.

[@LFEHova]

@@kresenjr3236 Yeah my discord chatter was too much to include in the video. So I muted the voice comms of the fight and added music over top to make it less boring. Any specific fight you're curious about what the thought process was?

[@andreafolli4842]

what's your favourite of that 2 spec in arena?

[@LFEHova]

Wrath of thunder is more applicable to most comps. It's easier to play and requires less team coordination so I prefer to run it with most people. There are some team comps like ice mage, where your team wants to play slower and thunder axe can definitely outshine wrath of thunder in that kind of team composition.

[@mistahj6724]

If u r paired with mage, what do you run? Wrath or the other? Tnx

[@LFEHova]

If it's an ice mage, then i run thunder axe because they need to build and we can play a slower playstyle and i can with them and then amp their burst. If it's a fire mage, then it's up to you. Fire mage is more flexible, it has delayed burst but can still play relatively fast. So choice is up to you whether you want to play wrath of thunder or thunder axe.

[@mistahj6724]

@@LFEHova thank you brother.. Very helpful.. Anothrr question, my barbarian dies easily to assasin when they blink to me i get 2 hits dead.. Dont even have time to react.. How do u survive this?

[@LFEHova]

@@mistahj6724 you need to cc break and kite. if you're slow on cc break, they get an additional 60% damage multiplier on you from you being decelerated + dazed.

[@mistahj6724]

How do you survive a Assasin/Barb/Necro Comp? The burst from Assasin and Barb is just too strong for anyone to survive. What's your gameplan for this brother?

[@LFEHova]

@@mistahj6724 looking to bait buffs and try to cc and interrupt enemy combos while using healer DR to block the initial burst. If you have at least one ranged to pressure, it makes it a lot easier as well. Just don’t get stuck in an all in fight with them or you’re done. Just do your best to kite and drag out the fight as long as possible

[@mistahj6724]

@@LFEHova legit! Tnx bro, btw, what does healer DR mean? Also how do you kite or bait skills? Is there anything specific that you are looking for them to cast before you run away or kite? Thank you...

[@LFEHova]

@@mistahj6724 every healer has a damage reduction skill that reduces the damage the person takes. It can prevent people from dying to burst combos. Baiting is pretty simple, if you know the enemy team is going to focus you, just run and line of sight and kite their damage and their buffs and cooldowns will be wasted and you can re engage after you get healed up and use all your big cooldowns

[@samsaluria7555]

Is wrath of thunder better than thunder axe in pvp?

[@LFEHova]

They are both good. I said it in the video during my explanation of the two builds. Wrath of thunder is quicker burst, but lower max damage burst. Thunder axe has more burst and amps damage by an additional 9% for your team, but it takes longer to build up the resources needed to summon 5 axes. So it really depends on your team comp and strategy whether you can afford to play thunder axe build or if you need access to the quicker more on demand burst of wrath of thunder.

[@ijonm7875]

As a fellow barb, Wrath of Thunder or Thunder Axe? (in arena specifically) i see you play both 😂

[@LFEHova]

yea i spoke about it briefly in the video. they both have their merits. wrath of thunder has more upfront burst and quicker burst, but has less burst damage. thunder axe has bigger burst and more amp damage for your team, but it takes some building to get the full potential. up to you and whether your team comp wants to play fast or slow.

[@ijonm7875]

@@LFEHova yea ive watched it after i commented 😅 i feel like i lack damage when i use WoT. Also played a lot better ever since I removed the jump ulti 😂

[@LFEHova]

@@ijonm7875 WoT definitely has less damage. But it’s the trade off. You have access to all your damage after only a few builder skills. Thunder axe has a lot more damage but it takes awhile to build it up

[@BRENOCEDRAZBANDEIRADEMELLOSOUZ]

In terms of damage per second in the arena, to burst the enemy, is it better to go with Wrath or Thunder Axe?

[@LFEHova]

I think wrath of thunder has better damage per second, but thunder axe has more burst. If you want to do the most damage possible over like 2 minutes, wrath of thunder is better for sustained damage. If you want the most damage possible in like a 5 second window, then thunder axe has more top end burst.
