ULTIMATE PvE Black Desert Tier list made for and by the Community!!

[@Quendya]

I am happy to see this reaction. Thanks for depth analysis

[@fullgore202]

Thank you for the list, you absolute LEGEND !

[@zoda2950]

You need some actual warrior players to get feedback from, any warrior that says succession is better than awakening has been lobotomized especially Zeroden of all people. The control on awakening is much greater than that of succession and that extra DP passive is a joke. "Bigger DP number mean bigger tank" is not the case with warrior, there is just way more in the awakening kit as far as movement goes. Back attacks matter for good DPS and "Head Chase" (Shift + W/A/S/D) is too good to give up for getting behind enemies and anti-collision with its long dash. Playing succession you also throw away "Merciless" and "Overwhelm" which both have heavy modifiers, 5% Crit Damage and 10% Down Damage useful for places like City of the Dead. Adding the forward guard core skill to Frenzied Strikes is also huge for PvE as far as survivability, the animation and forward guard alone last 2 seconds while the skill has a 6 second cooldown perfect for chaining between damage combinations.

[@Saintlel]

@@zoda2950 Trash numbers don't match up with it though, Succ pulls way higher numbers, like objectively, Awk is good in some spots but Succ pulls way better numbers on average

[@Aurelyn]

I think the issue with the tier list would be fixed it the class rankings were done in relation to each other instead of in a vacuum. If the maegu people think she is kinda average and give her a 7 and the Witch people think she's kinda average and give her a 6 then witch ends up below maegu even if she is better. So instead of number ranking classes should be ranked compared to other classes

[@Mecht]

I love the lists but I would like a bit more info, if you could. Things like survivability, mana thirst, availability, etc. for each class would be nice data. Ty for the work, regardless Quendya

I'm a very new player and I'm 3/4 way through the video and it has helped a lot to contextualize all of these characters. A lot of people are not really articulate enough to communicate both the usage and literal characteristics of the content they explain. I was kinda worried that I wouldn't have well adjusted people creating content for this game like with most grind games but your channel is cool.

[@ginxxyami]

In addition I find that people always "gas" up their level of articulation making it even more exhausting to sit through the babbling of incoherent man children as they speak like idiots and then say otherwise. You are both articulate and concise.

Got asked a bunch about this video, came to check it out Great coverage with decent feedback discussion overall, good stuff Big thanks to Quendya for putting all this together, man works hard Bit of a mix up but I've played Sage for just over a year now, started the game in 2016 playing warrior for 8 years on EU, even won a Black Spirit Pillow from Kakao 😅 I would've liked to hear what Divios had to say regarding Sage, 100% agree with that Cheers 👍

[@facelesshalo5174]

As a Woosa player. I've noticed people really underestimate Awakening Woosa's power and somehow keep saying Awakening Woosa isn't as protected (Which doesn't make a lick of sense). I can agree that the cast time is Longer but the engage range is damn near 300% further. So in Areas that have Higher HP mobs, you can quite literally set up 3 attacks (Shift+RMB, Forward+RMB, Back+RMB) from the previous groups spots, Then start a 4th. All 4 will hit at nearly the same time. your mobility is pretty high too so you can essentially teleport directly to each group as your pre-set up attacks hit. I feel people play really mindless in BDO and only care about close-range speed because it takes fewer brain cells. But AwkWoosa literally can lay down massive Damage bombs with full guard/SA on every key skill. I use an awakening Sorc and grinding on her is horrible compared to my Awakening Woosa I've been playing Sorc since 2017. They share gear so it isn't a gear diff.

[@evilangel7338]

Same thing I keep saying 😂 I mained succ for a long enough time and then switched to awk and lord I will never switch back, she's fast, long range bomber with protections, not as many as succ but the ones in awk is highly manageable. The ones who says she's not protected is the ones that never took the time to really play her

[@GeorgeNoX]

I think Awakening Witch is S tier in PvE and im willing to die on this hill. It is the best for Dark Rifts and Bosses, great in grinding, has great healing which helps in endgame grind spots and against all bosses, it is very mobile. I have been playing this game as Witch since NA started and haven't yet found a class to replace it because it overall has everything in her kit one would need in pretty much any scenario. May not be the fastest grinder but speed isn't everything, at least isn't for me and survivability is more important since you can't kill if you are dead after all

[@jade6957]

Im on the Mountain looking at the hill. I will die on this mountain. yes yes

[@aligr3224]

What if i told you that other classes has both the speed AND survivability?

[@esspeii747]

As a kuno awk player who has only ever made kuno characters for all of my seasonal characters , I really enjoy her for grinding it’s super chill and active

[@DUNGEONEERS]

Awk Kuno Grind is mad underrated. Yeah her trash per hour isnt the best but shes damn fun

[@Shaddowxxi]

Zackiskip is a goated Archer. He plays the class on a different level in PVE. Trying to play the class like he does, I would agree that its one of the hardest classes in the game. On another note, I wish they'd do something about pet damage. Its pretty clear that many classes are struggling at end game due to how pet damage doesn't work with the spot buffs.

[@Darklordiban7]

I would have put Awk Drakania slightly higher in the early/mid game. She has good mobility and while her AOE might need to be a bit more precise than some other classes, it's big enough to hit full packs. Her biggest asset for early and midgame is the amount of AOE skills that she has with the pretty low cooldowns. If you gear/buff enough so that she can kill those packs with one skill you can pull decent results. She is going to deal less damage than a number of classes at the same gear score though. One of the hidden benefits of Awk Drakania is that I don't see that many people try to pvp/dfs me. The last time I got flagged on I accidentally nearly one shot him while moving between packs.

[@orchidlibra3989]

I too like Limex have played Lahn since she was released. I agree w him, BRNY, and Chillers spot on about Lahn's Succession and Awakening. I've played Awakening and enjoyed it very much. I have tried the Succession many times and more so than I would imagine. Visually, her elegant succession has amazing aoes and high burst damage. I LOVE watching Lahn Succ players than me playing her myself.. I enjoy playing Succ but not as much as her Awakening since I have muscle memory grind on her awakening kit. Since Lahn's Awakening buffed, I had switch my style of playing w Awakening. I Love every one of her skills. Eradication and her Blood Moon Twist Skills has changed compared to 3-4 years ago. Eradication use to be a space bar which gave a very weird and uncomfortable feeling. Her Blood Moon Twist was changed to from a half low kick of sort to a down smash and knockback which has a long animation skill. Her Eradication Shift + F and her Shift + Q Binding Chain flows very smoothly and great for forward movements in her combo. I played half of all the classes (16) questline from all regions to the end LoML (Ulukita doesn't count since that is brand new) for my 77,777 quest title. The other half I'll have to rediscover the feeling of grinding on those classes again and aiming for my 100k quest title, "The World is Mine Now." Questing is one thing, but I did grind on all the classes. All are very enjoyable and all have their own good and bad perks. I enjoy all the classes unique combat abilities on both aspect, Succession and Awakening. I like Quendaya's pve information tier list.

@@lockedbill4942 my man, i absolutely agree with you, its just the way the game is now, i dont really like it and im not very much into pvp and i hated getting ganked whenever i was in a big pvp guild, but that was the point of the game and getting geared up to protect yourself, when i didnt want pvp i could just ask for hero on a liofeskill guild to grind for a day and nowadays you can just marni and nobody bothers u. being a red player already sucks because you can break crystals/lightstones and gear downgrades if you mess up so thats already a big balance to being red but i still see some red players getting banned for "griefing" or "preventing gameplay to others" kind of shit which really sucks.

EVERYONE and their grandma it feels know Tamers kit and won't be baited by s or baited by dash grabs, instead, we have players who intentially bait a tamer into a dash grab to CC them.

I recommend watching both my choose your class guides on them and choose which theme is cooler to you.

Try it. If you like it then consider donating some $ to ease your life. I have played for a few years as a f2p so i would say it is totally doable and viable. But! You will need a lot of login/event rewards collected here and there. So just dont push yourself into it. Try to have fun without really achieving much. Then, when you get all the free rewards needed there wont be much difference from a donating player.

For details: costumes and pets could be bought from marketplace. So most viable free reward are those maids. But now we have a free t9 horse which makes it really easy to travel for repairs/warehouse. Then we have free inventory space, and now the mem-scrolls are stackable... Well right now it is the best time to play as a f2p pve ever. :D consider on looking for the free tent guide to be on par with paying players. No downsides for f2p if you craft that shit once a day.

Garmoth is really not to be trusted for the finer details when comparing classes.
