Shadow swordsman class guide (cunning & duel) Tarisland

[@VarietyMMOs]

This is the first of the china class videos. It took a lot more recording attempts but I am really like the better result. I hope you find this video useful :)

[@CANELA-cnm]

Thank you bro. Im playing the "red assassin" and its pretty fun. But had no idea what I was doing. I was trying to use the skills when they glow but now I know why they glow. It makes more sense.

[@davidtunstall6454]

Thank you for the tips, very handy explaining the rotation for us newer players. Shadow Swordsman is my go to class, I love playing the rogue archetype!

[@VarietyMMOs]

Yeah series is primarily aimed at new players and helping people decide on a class. A minority of ppl want exact rotations, stats and tier lists of things that don't even exist on 18 specialisations 7 days in to the game :( unrealistic expectations

[@Razaveth.]

This is so helpful, can't wait for a barbarian guide since I'm still toen between Barbarian and Warrior

[@VarietyMMOs]

Paladin is next but barb is being worked on

@@VarietyMMOs is therea quefinder for dungeons/raids? if so how is the wait time for dps?

[@jodyclemons4235]

how do I get Cloaking in this game HELPPPP

[@denisjones45]

Still deciding which class to pick so i'm watching all your classes video. This series is great

[@VarietyMMOs]

I feel that haha. I've played them all twice and still don't know what class to play on global

[@kadystoysandadventures5422]

@@VarietyMMOswho you gonna pick bro coz im with you hahaha. Btw new subs here ty for your informative videos

[@lucianomarzano8444]

Don't have any dashes? Ranged classes will burst him down in pvps before he gets to combo on someone.

[@kevinpedersen6359]

u do have wow "Shadowstep" or wow "Sprint" (Rogue abilities). But no Dash

[@ozedsal5581]

Been waiting for this! Thank you. man! Keep it up! You're the best!!!

[@VarietyMMOs]

Appreciate it

[@chasemarshall3743]

Newbie here. Are these all the skills that the assassin has or he will get new skills eventually while you level up? Needs answer pls

[@VarietyMMOs]

Skills stay the same, talents add/Sas improve/change how the abilities work but the base abilities don't change

[@natsu6797.]

Hey, will u be updating your spreadsheet? the inscribe stone part

[@VarietyMMOs]

Top priority. I've been writing a guide on it but it wasn't quite done. You'll see updates to the page within the 24 hours. Everyone is low level right now so the only thing matters at this very second is to collect as much inscription dust as possible.

[@natsu6797.]

@@VarietyMMOs Glad to hear that! Will be looking forward to it. And thanks you!

[@oneclick-deagle8293]

Will the Inscribe stone tab in the google doc be filled soon?

[@VarietyMMOs]

In the updated spreadsheet there is some more inscribe info docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQCNaaUajtM4TFBsZkak3jFLQ_puoQRqYZCVQ10HK6ajyAC6RdV6r4bh9fUGhRssg604QZqBRSdlLo5/pubhtml Its not as specific as x for x class but it has more information than class parts do atm

[@cristian5231]

How change from venom to other build?

[@AnisphiaWynn1]

is cunning better for dungeons and raids? and the duel for battle grounds/arena?

[@VarietyMMOs]

Pretty much yeah. Poison = pve, duel = pvp

[@gareth3437]

Man that priest is PUMPING

[@VarietyMMOs]

This seems to be the favourite dg for ppl to come test buids/dps in. It's interesting if a little bothersome when trying to record haha. I've had many max level ppl in that specific dg despite it being lv 28

[@JunCorinne]

What is the best stats for SS? Focus ?

[@VarietyMMOs]

Stat priority is on the spreadsheet. Its combo/crit depending on the spec you're taking

[@Krunkeridleios]

Why is it called shadow if it ain't using stealth?

[@VarietyMMOs]

One of your ultimate abilities is shadow step. It allows you to go invis.

[@AgentProduction88]

will you explain how the stackig works?

[@VarietyMMOs]

(1) key uses energy and gets +1 stack (2) key uses energy and gets +1 stack (3) key uses 1 stack to do poison jab (damage) (3) will do poison dot if you have 5 stacks when you cast it (entire tail is lit up)

[@juliesmecon1642]

In terms of damage and all will it be the best for pvp ? Also idk about ove content and hard raids since he needs to be close it will make him low on dps

[@VarietyMMOs]

You hit the nail right on the head. While some people will be REALLY good with this class and do high DPS I've heard of multiple people playing SS and swapping to another class specifically because of the range issue. Sadly many fights are simply brutal for melee hurting their dps. I'm sorry but I don't have enough experience with PVP yet to give proper explanations for any class. I've had to spend full time focus on PVE to create these guides. I'll be going into pvp on global and will provide pvp related content after launch.

[@rafc18800]

Great content made. You going to do phantom necromancer to? :)

[@VarietyMMOs]

Yep. i think necro or bard is tomorrow. Not sure yet

[@rafc18800]

Wow, the 2 classes i want to play. Aint i a lucky man. Thanks for all the work mate

[@cmestres]

Necro pls

[@Garethtsy]

what keybinds do you use?

[@danielshade5085]

Which build does more nuke in 3v3 pvp ?

[@VarietyMMOs]

That I'm unsure of. My ping is high on china so I have not really focused on PVP yet.

[@bricktop561]

Does have perma invisibility for sneaking about like in wow?

[@danielshade5085]

@@bricktop561 there’s like 20-25 sec cool down 10 sec invis

[@TheEragoon]

So the wheel does not have anything to do with your position relative to the enemy? As always, thanks for the video and looking forward to the next one!

[@VarietyMMOs]

No. The wheel has nothing to do your with your character position or the position of the enemy.

[@hendykusuma2432]

​@@VarietyMMOsso what the point from that wheel?only using skill?

[@Flatfootsy]

@@hendykusuma2432 I havent played the game before, but by the sounds of it yes. When the wheel is lit up red and your indicator is overtop of that red portion- it makes your next ability/attack do extra damage. It's RNG free extra damage.

[@oddballer3183]

Its pretty similar to most.mmo rogue specs give or take.one.or.two things

[@VarietyMMOs]

Yeah that's fair. Poison build was very familar Duel spec is new to me

[@inkanthem]

Cunning for PVE and Duel for PVP

[@VarietyMMOs]

I believe so as well. I showed both in PVE or I'd get non stop questions asking me about it in PVE :D

[@SharlieF2P]

lvl 27 classguide?

[@poppychu-6746]

can u do one for paladin class i am really intrested in it mate

[@VarietyMMOs]

Paladin is my main class, it will be done and it will be the most in depth one. I've also got videos of all challenge dungeons from Paladin POV to show how its done

[@poppychu-6746]

@@VarietyMMOs thank u so much u r awsome mate

[@hendykusuma2432]

when you hit Posion on target,will u use the Poison Sting skill or u keeping stacking the poison?

[@VarietyMMOs]

Depends on your build, echo count and upcoming boss mechanic. You can stack a bit of poison on point to extend timer when you know boss is about to chase you away for example

[@tresicario984]

Assassin without a dash is a no go

[@yunangreenleaf368]

its basically mutilate build on poison spec pure PVE

[@danielshade5085]

Do you unlock all spells by lvl 27 ?

[@VarietyMMOs]

Skills yes. Talents no. You can see the full talent tree any time

[@AnisphiaWynn1]

cunning or duel?

[@VarietyMMOs]

It may not always be this way as we're still levelling on global but as of right now Duel is mostly used in PVP Cunning is more for PVE

[@AnisphiaWynn1]

@@VarietyMMOs oh cuz i just finished the elite witch raid earlier and my dps seems lacking using duel. I'll take note of that

[@lacz7244]

I think cunning is also good for pvp, also if u get healing reduction. Can be a support dps. Plus lesser cooldown. Its kinda like continuous damager (cunning) and burst damager (duel).

[@ShaunDYST]

Single target boss should've used Dual spec imo

[@VarietyMMOs]

Duel spec is terrible for pve imo. It's more suited for pve

[@ShaunDYST]

@@VarietyMMOs I agree it's better for PvP except on single target fights I can do far more DPS as duel than I can with cunning. But cunning is by far better if you need to AOE you can top meters with 1 button, literally lol.

[@gamejaing7447]

In my opinion this is the most difficult class to play, not suitable for beginners

[@VarietyMMOs]

Agreed. Many people have already moved away from the class just in 7 days on china.

[@Perways]

@@VarietyMMOs what is the most popular class in china, any charts?

[@alreawon1212]

Phantom Necro is most difficult

[@Wibtlol]

They should've copied wow's invisibility. Cooldown 10 sec invisibility is useless. Barely any shadow in this stealth class lol.

[@VarietyMMOs]

Yeah it's kinda odd. I do suggest giving feedback to them via discord. Devs have made a lot of positive changes based on player feedback
