Is there a difference in milk production between the white and brown goats? It seems really silly to have 2 goats but same production, the white is of course significantly easier to tame the white goat. ​@Glitchiz

[@Glitchiz]

@ believe they give two different types one is the frizzy goat milk the other is a different milk

[@mechanical_chaos]

As a returning player, thank you! You do such nice in-depth build videos so people can understand their specs and why they want certain skills. It's why I prefer these to other build videos.

[@Glitchiz]

@@mechanical_chaos happy to help

[@alincks9230]

Now we talking!!! TY so much for the build, I stopped playing with my mage since Hollow Halls update but now we are back thanks to you.

[@mauldaschmanebel4757]

Is the skills order like you went through in the video? Or do you have a leveling guide perhaps? :D but really nice video :DDD

[@Platypus245]

FWIW the yellow mushrooms are available in the southern-most part of the new zone too, near the entrance from the Nomad Highlands Ancient Spire. Shroud + Elixir well there with several large patches of the yellow mushrooms.

[@Glitchiz]

oh yeah im sure there everywhere that was just my first go to spot lol thanks for sharing though!

[@ScottBoydathome]

Did those "Gain X bonus to based on your flame level" get fixed? They used to never work.

[@Glitchiz]

yes they work now.

[@TheRealBroodax]

They "work" but only give bonuses for extra flame levels, not the base level. So if you have flame level 6, you'll get 2 stats, not 3. I'm unsure if it's 1 level that doesn't count or 2, as I haven't had an odd flame level in a while.

[@Glitchiz]

@@TheRealBroodax they are still half bugged. max flame level now is 8 so in theory we should be able to get 4 extra points but those perks are only giving 3 max atm. so they are "fixed" in that they are giving some points now were as before they werent giving any at all. but now the max amount is broken again lol

Really great vid. Nice work

[@bellakapa7945]

hey there

[@Glitchiz]

to start its only a 20% chance to proc i think so with one off attacks ur not going to see it that often. u see it allot with aoe spells like chain lightning and acid bite etc.. 2 if ur not stacking bonus crit dmg for magic that could be why too. lastly i have run into a bug a few times where the "orbs" that drop dont actually spawn but u do get the benefits from it. i dont know if the orbs just dont spawn at all or if they do spawn but because they spawn right on top of the character u almost instantly pick it up and u dont rly see it.

[@bellakapa7945]

​@@Glitchiz hey.. thank you much much for your reply.. for now i dropped bloodletting from my skill tree.. but def i m going check that aoe spell with the eternal chain lighting as you are suggesting ^^

[@Daumina]

Love the video! gonna guess that Water Aura isnt worth running anymore? when I played last it was good but it got nerfed to my knowledge

[@Glitchiz]

@@Daumina correct. Healing just isn’t enough or fast enough anymore to be useful imo

[@NeillSmith]

In my testing Ranger (the skill node), Eagles Bane, and Counter Battery seem to apply to spells and, I suspect, all sources of damage. Ranger seems to give generic crit chance and damage on the character sheet, not ranged specific bonuses, and also comes with a juicy stamina regen bonus. Eagles Bane, for example, I saw a clear increase in damage on spells from a staff vs. flying foes. I suspect all of the 'foe type damage' stats both apply to all sources of damage and are additive with each other and with the bonus from stats e.g. for a spells additive with the Magic Damage from Int. So in my testing, for example, with 95% magic damage and some other bonuses here and there the +30% vs flying was worth roughly a 15% real increase in damage. Do you think it's worth working them into the build? What would you drop to include this branch of 12 points?

[@Glitchiz]

@@NeillSmith hmmm tough one. 15% more doesn’t seem worth that’s 3 points of Inteligence. Maybe drop points from tank tree if I good at dodging and maybe lose points somewhere for healing. Not sure I’d have to dive deeper

[@NeillSmith]

@@Glitchiz Got it. To be clear 15% is the relative difference from just the Eagles Bane node. The equivalent in int would be 6 points, not 3, because it's an additive 30% bonus and 6 points in int would also be an additive 30% bonus.

[@TheRealBroodax]

I think you're onto something here. I skipped the 5 point Constitution and Spirit for Flame Levels nodes, as they're very inefficient (5 points, but only 3 Con or 3 Spirit, as opposed to 1-for-1 on the normal nodes) in order to get the points to go up to Ranger. 5% crit alone is worth it to me when you think of how much crit helps with stunning mobs.

[@domdom-bv2he]

tyvm sub earned, when u talk about farming chest do you wait for the chest to reset automatically or are there any other way? nevermind if its cheesy

[@Glitchiz]

set up an alter and u reset the game to make it instantly respawn nearby

[@dakotaseckman1457]

Question: Why do you not take the skill perks for ranged weapon damage from the ranger tree? Isn't the staff classified as a ranged weapon?

[@Glitchiz]

@@dakotaseckman1457 nope it’s considered a magical weapon I thought the same thing but the English translation for the perks are terrible. It’s the same type of issue with daggers. Daggers are labeled as mellee weapons so you would think a point in strength which boosts melee dmg would make daggers stronger but it doesn’t dagger dmg scales off of dexterity. Same for the staff all the ranger perks only work for bows. And elemental perks are only for wands and staffs

[@TheViewFromHome]

There is a skill called frost on the wizard tree. I am wondering if it triggers while holding a mele weapon or do you have to be a mage build for it to work?

[@Glitchiz]

wizard perks only work for magical weapons. (wands and staff) its one of my biggest gripes with there design atm. hopefully they change that. kind of defeats the purpose of having magic dmg on melee weapons imo.

[@TheViewFromHome]

@@Glitchiz The aura damage effects like sun aura on the wizard tree does work when using a mele weapon and shield. Just does not damage scavengers due to their immunity, too bad.

[@Glitchiz]

@@TheViewFromHome thats because its the aura itself doing the dmg and not a buff going to a weapon.... when i talk about perks not crossing between classes im particularly referring to ones like bonus fire or ice magic dmg. you would think that would help a sword that has fire magic dmg perks on it. but it doesnt. :/ it only works for magic weapons (wand or staff) hopefully they change that eventually

[@ViolentlyPretty]

[@ViolentlyPretty]

@@Glitchiz Perfect! Thank you! Can I ask what you feel is better in terms of class? Mage or hunter? Or even melee? Battlemage?

[@Glitchiz]

@ I’ve only tested mate so far in new content. Just switched to Hunter so we’ll see how it goes

[@ViolentlyPretty]

@@Glitchiz I can't wait. Honestly, I love mage, but a friend is playing battlemage and I didn't want to compete for gear while re-leveling so I went hunter. I look forward to your analysis. Your voice is easy to listen to as well.

[@HppyP3m]

Hi I'm a new player with a question: which skill points should I focus on investing early on as I'm progressing? Or is the order you presented in the video already the order I should be leveling them? Thank you!

[@Glitchiz]

@@HppyP3m I’d focus on the wand stuff first as well as some tank points for early survivability. Later on once u unlock the more powerful staff spells the. U can focus on the staff perks

[@NoTalker_]

New to enshrouded, are melee/mage builds any good? I cant seem to find many of them and any updated ones.

[@Glitchiz]

@@NoTalker_ everyone just uses my builds. lol I’ve been build crafting since launch lol the community has seemed to gravitate toward my builds cuz I put allot of testing into them. No complaints yet lol I’ve got a new one out for all three classes and all work rly well

[@NoTalker_]

@ oh I didn’t word it correctly my bad I mean splitting stats and making a hybrid spell sword kind of build. Would that be viable or is it splitting stats, armor and perks too much? I know that you test before making your videos I first found you when once human released 🫶

[@Glitchiz]

@ I still wouldn’t recommend splitting stats it’s better to be OP as one class than mediocre at two but that’s just my opinion. If they ever change it so that the wizard magic dmg perks effect non magical weapons then I’ll consider it

[@NoTalker_]

@ alright I'll stick to ranger for range and melee, I'll watch your ranger video. Thanks

[@micromonolith650]

Heya, great indepth guide ! I have one question tho, the skill point UNITY, in your planner it says : damaging enemies with wands. Ingame (german btw) it says damaging enemies with staves. Did they change this or is it just bad translation maybe ? Edit: ok it seems translation, i changed to english and it says now wand damage...... does anybody maybe know whats wrong or right ? Edit 2: Skill LIFE ESSENCES, my life stat doesnt change if i eat a intelligence consumable, so it doesnt count ?

[@argonaut_jay]

I'd love to see a vengeance or retribution paladin build. I've got something decent going on using the fire damage stuff when enemies get near me and other fire damage as well as healer stuff. But not sure it's optimal because I feel weak. Edit: Most paladin builds I see online are all using staves which I'm not a fan of and doesn't feel paladin at all. I prefer melee, sword and shield

[@Glitchiz]

unfortunately there are very few perks in the current skill tree that work across multi classes. ex. bonus fire dmg perk in the mage tree only works on magic weapons (staff & wand) so a sword with fire dmg perks on it gets no benefit from that wizard perk. until they change that u WILL feel weak because ur spreading out ur skill points too much. it's best to go all in on one class right now unfortunately to do max dmg and have max survivability. hopefully they change how those cross dmg skills work. cuz id love to make hybrid builds as well. Right now there just not good imo

[@argonaut_jay]

@Glitchiz well that's super disappointing. I play paladin with every game I play. 😔 Guess I'll just have to deal with being weak. Shame they didn't consider people wanting hybrid builds when balancing classes.

[@Glitchiz]

@@argonaut_jay there slowly incorporating it. enough people have been asking for it so my guess is they will do it eventually
