Saving this video for when I get into PVP content. I've just been grinding to 50 on my first playthrough. Thank you for the video!

[@silentwindstudio]

Love the in depth explanation!

[@VextGamingEU]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@silentwindstudio]

@@VextGamingEU have you tested "Full of Corruption"? Is not "max damage" your base damage when it crits? Because that would be broken in a crit build like mine (considering a situation with a lot of mobs or players). Stacking up to 3 charges would mean +120 max damage, that is 50%+ crit damage

[@VextGamingEU]

@silentwindstudio not tested it really as only use when grinding aoe

[@AI.Musicx91]

thank you for the guide mate!

[@VextGamingEU]

No problem!

[@onursahin1614]

what do you think about full of corruption and murdereous energy passive skills in gvg i kinda love spreading huge posion .d

[@VextGamingEU]

when shield is nerfed for bow 100% until then you're inting your team

[@victorythao5744]

would it be possible to , fish for your curse, infusion enchant, shield, infusion poison, shadow step, invis , sleep, karma? is it possible for you to write down the step in word ?

[@Gwapco]

Yeah great video bro nice work!

[@VextGamingEU]

Appreciate it!

[@kyoshiro28]

hello, do you know if passive of shaikal weapon and damage bonus (like 2part of pahntom wolf set) proc on dot? if yes , shaikal weapon and chest phantom can be good and stay with 70/40/30 ?

[@VextGamingEU]

Shaikal is just a useless wand really and the 2pc set bonus isn't useful for dots.

[@kyoshiro28]

@@VextGamingEU okok thx you

[@frostbiteonline6732]

Great video, dude!

[@rico4105]

Heyy thanks for the guide. Is there a build you use for PVE or farming contracts? Since that’s what lower geared people will be doing. Is there is a support build just to do support for coop dungeons and such? So I can queue as support

[@VextGamingEU]

For AoE farming just stack curses, karmic and explode them there's not a lot to it :) as for support in dungeons nobody wants a dedicated support you either need to look at healing or DPS - I use a bow with two skills and the rest wand for healing its a +9 blue but gets the job done.

[@haclp49]

Great job bro!!

[@VextGamingEU]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Faierv12]

Why when im using sleep stealthed im insta unstealth they changed it?

[@VextGamingEU]

make sure you have the cc immunity skill specialisation.

[@ismaeelalhammadi247]

is this the same build you play in PVE? i can't find a post for PVE build

[@VextGamingEU]

No not really I don't have a specific pve build it depends on what I'm doing

[@FRESHY_GG]

Great stuff

[@ThienNguyen-iu8rm]

i find myself running out of mana alot, is there any tips to manage this?

[@VextGamingEU]

In pve stand where you can block fury attacks so ontop of the tanks head, new/bad tanks will run away from and it gets annoying. In pvp not a lot you can do without kills/assists and conserving mana. Use mana regen potion as much as you can

[@ThienNguyen-iu8rm]

@@VextGamingEU ive been playing with a dot focused build, with an emphasis on self buff and CD and my mana just disappears.For PVE at least.

[@VextGamingEU]

@@ThienNguyen-iu8rm ohye mana evaporates faster than water un the desert :D have to be conscious of over refreshing dots and buff. My dots at 3 stacks don't need refreshing on CD unless I'm reasy to use explosion also enchanted time has 6 or 7 seconds longer duration than CD with some builds so doesn't need using on CD.. then dodge or block furies and max your block for regen

[@87MockingOwl]

what about the armor buff sets?

[@VextGamingEU]

I don't use any armor sets in my build for tier 1

[@87MockingOwl]

@@VextGamingEU ok thx so u get buff duration from traits?

[@VextGamingEU]

@@87MockingOwl yeah from traits

[@cyntax]

that is fantastic thank you.

[@xalunkx5546]

gear video had some good explanations but i dont believe thats BiS for the build... saw a comment saying you working on a progression guide, does that include BiS endgame gear?

[@VextGamingEU]

Never said this was BiS for what I use the gear for this is the best build with no reliance on guild drops for GvG and is ran by our wand/daggers. There is no singular BiS build in T&L anybody saying otherwise is wrong, once T2 comes out everything changes again. This build has amongst the highest evasion whilst maintaining high HP, magic hit and damage potential. There are alternatives in places but no standout build that accomplishes the same as this for the role I play :)

[@xalunkx5546]

​@@VextGamingEU looking for some of those alternatives than (incl raid bosses). was thinking about going more into stats so i could reach 50 strenght aswell or add some passives or stuff like that. would apreciate some help theorycrafting, thats all ;)

[@VextGamingEU]

@@xalunkx5546 I've looked at a lot of that previously 50str felt punishing to reach and didn't perform but I'll look at leq 50 str and see what I can come up wirh

[@kud5659]

Hey, brand new to the game. I'm still debating on dagger/wand or bow. After doing some reading, people are saying dagger/wand is one of the lowest dps in the game, does that seem to be the case?

[@VextGamingEU]

It's not but you'll have a hard time convincing others of that unfortunately :)

[@rodrigoruiz976]

Why equip dagger as main instead of wand?

[@VextGamingEU]

in PvP you can utilise the extra 100 all evasion mastery and i prefer the auto attack speed and offhand attack chance of dagger for damage, wand is slower and has no secondary weapon proc, also the way my masteries are setup the dagger does more single target damage.

[@rodrigoruiz976]

@@VextGamingEU so the passives don’t count if your weapon is not in use?

[@VextGamingEU]

@@rodrigoruiz976 masteries are 50/50 some only work with that weapon where as others are character wide. So the all evasion on top tree of dagger is only if you have the dagger out. Skills will automatically switch your weapons as you use them so there is no detriment to having dagger out compared to wand out where you lose evasion from that mastery. Actual passive skills work regardless. Dagger has an offhand proc of around 25% chance to hit with the second dagger too and has a much higher attack speed and overall damage per second. Games a bit janky and doesn't explain things very well :) tldr is dagger does more dps than wand I switch as I need though wand for range dagger for melee

[@somethingwithat5787]

Do you have the swirling essence 2 piece set bonus? I just cant understand how peoples curse damage gets so high. Mine is only around 200-400 per tick

[@VextGamingEU]

No I don't it's a % increase and only adds around 1 second. Big dots are due to heavy

[@somethingwithat5787]

@@VextGamingEU Ah, I guess I gotta work on heavy attack chance, I barely see any heavy attacks at 180 chance lol. Thanks!

[@VextGamingEU]

@@somethingwithat5787 dots womt show as heavy the damage will just be hugely increased until its refreshed. Explosion shows it though 180 is still 18% approx

[@bal3_]

hey mate what armor did you go with

[@VextGamingEU]

There's a video on here with my T1 armor set at the moment, this will change completely in tier 2 again and as the meta shifts in the next 1 to 2 months.

[@lerrickduque4152]

What gear are you aiming for?

[@lerrickduque4152]

Nvm found your other videos. Nice work!

[@madd_hatter1018]

what weapons are you using that’s what i’m confused about what weapons to farm i’m mainly solo

[@VextGamingEU]

Check my gear video on here that's the build I run

[@VextGamingEU]

I have a gear video on here. I use both wand and daggers from Cave

[@yujiro5722]

Can i use this for farming?

[@VextGamingEU]

You could but don't need the defensive aspects so can look to add in more damage skills

[@smizz8534]

Ive tried so many pvp loadouts before and they didn’t seem the right but this one seems to do just what i need and i just hit lvl fifty so just in time

[@Niamak]

I feel like Fatal Stigma is not worth the investment in your build. In your video, Fatal Stigma is hitting for 2500 damage meanwhile Curse Explosion is hitting for 10000 damage twice.

[@VextGamingEU]

its there to help with priority target kills and it can heavy too :) also does more damage based on lost health of the target if we could use poison in this meta id prefer to run it but we can't. I like it for the utility and finishing potential but others don't use anything and take more support or use alternative dagger skills.

[@maximbogomaz8908]

@@VextGamingEU how does Curse Explosion deal 10k damage, if it says 420% + 272? Max base damage = 220. This amounts to 1.2k. 30% from Skill Damage boost (since dummy has no resistance) = 1.56k Heavy attack can double that to 3.1k.

[@VextGamingEU]

@maximbogomaz8908 it also deals the remaining duration of applied weaken damage, thats why duration and number of weaken effects is big for us it basically strips the dots and deals all the damage in a burst I van heavy crit a lot higher I've seen 40k on bosses where the dots have heavy hit so are ticking higher and then explosion also heavies it gets crazy

[@maximbogomaz8908]

@@VextGamingEU i see, thanks. DoT is typically not blocked by DR (so, defence), but in this case, it becomes blocked by defence right?

@VextGamingEU looking forward to seeing one. Makes it easier to bookmark and go over it.

[@Schaff0r]

Hey Vext thx 4 your Guides i really love them. They helped me a lot. Do you have also a Guide for mor heal oriented Build with Dagger / Wand? THX a Lot.

[@VextGamingEU]

Working on it as going to push arena as a more healer focused setup :)

[@floppyears788]

But is this a healer build or a damage dealer build?

[@VextGamingEU]

Neither really it fills a pretty specific role in pvp, it's a hybrid and can flex to more healing or damage as needed.

[@AkuzumaOppa]

Nice. I have been looking for a nice dagger wand build this gives me a lot of ideas. Can you also do some PVP videos or open world PVP? I have problems with people jumping me

[@VextGamingEU]

There's one on here already and more ro come :)

[@piotrwieczorkiewicz9965]

Kind of nice build, prefer maxroll pve/pvp but still nice, don’t u lack dmg if u are focused on magic instead of dagger skills?

[@VextGamingEU]

depends what your goal is, single target? definitely - aoe nope :) and my build is for GvG mostly if i want to run a melee build i can i just dont feel i can outplay as much

[@VextGamingEU]

Weakens in GvG/mass PvP give bow users free shields so at the top end people won't use it, definitely has a place in some pvp but we already spread weaken enough without adding more shields :D it's why our xbows won't run poison either when spinning

[@nwtpain5833]

how about PVE?

[@VextGamingEU]

PvE wise isn't really a one size fits all I'm constantly changing skills and moving things around, I have a few videos on here with different skill setups. One you read into the specialisations there's not a ton of room for variance

[@grimmvisionz]

yo real talk it's good the setup up going all in detail but one big problem... you dont talk about gear newer players have to go elsewhere to find the gear explanation and some build are different with different type of gear

[@amurika6336]

This looks more like Wand/Dagger

[@VextGamingEU]

Lol love how people make a significant distinction between them, the game considers them the same build so do vet players. Dagger in mainland is why I phrased it that way for people reality is there is no difference between wand/dagger and dagger/wand only skill variations some will use more dagger, others more wand.
