@@MambiTV97 you know that I watched it and commented?! 🤣 Also you are the reason I changed from 300+ STR TO 250 and upping DEX while lowering CON. I also agree that skyward start is ideal for the root but unfortunately I created bad habits from start 🤣🤣 that being said it might be my last video given the melee state in the game 🥲

@@CZMeti OMG im so dumb LMAO sorry bro too many comments i didnt even remember HAHA as i said bro nice vid and wating for the next ones :D

@@shadedtree- on armor? Yes. On weapon? Yes. Things might change given that melee is gutted at the moment but people are/were running lot of slash resistance on my server (Draco).

@@Ietsgoski featherweight is weightless artifact so you can do this only with featherweight. Do you have featherweight chest piece?

All the clips after 1:41 are after patch. Anyone could run away if they want. You could see that dodge, evade and anything just loses tracking. It's not great if opponents know what they are doing and force you to use all stamina before you get to them. I would say sns/hatchet is still the best combo for closing the gaps and burst

@@CZMetiyea, now is averege player they just run away and do dmg to u and u cant dmg them, feels very fair. And to do dmg with gs almost imposible

Game is in bad place with melee nerf, while aimlock still exist for BB, all the machine gun bugs and everyone is using busted elemental band exploit as well. With no communication from AGS it is even worse. They disable perk because of their PVE raid but they don't disable new artifact perk even if it is broken and can give up to 42% empower..

@ yea, every melee i talked feeling the same. And every range its very happy 😅

Will share probably in the next video because this one was featherweight with some random pieces but finally I am getting some decent upgrades. Happy to share the current build on NW buddy and share it here though

@ just add nw buddy link pls

@@nierka99 This is my current setup :) www.nw-buddy.de/gearsets/share/ipfs/QmPFTy8BEkgoZc6V6Ebusom3J4DaNh9F6tT1TVVxKjBDZW

New video is out 🎉

I actually just started using crosscut. You can check my latest video. That being said I thought calamity counter will save me in 1vX situations but that's unfortunately not the case.

@@CZMeti ah, so calamity isn't worth slotting?

@@Strider_Roshin it might be if you also have the perk to give you stamina back for it. At the moment I removed skyward slash for steadfast strike but I also have mixed feelings about this.

Hiya! Greatsword/Hatchet is high risk high reward combo with great burst but you are too squishy in light if you are in offensive stance so the greatsword is more of utility for me. I will try leveling sword and shield to pair with hatchet now most likely. Will see how that goes! As for SnS and Greatsword - I didn't find any videos but was considering it as well but the problem is that greatsword will become the main damage weapon and in light it will hurt. Maybe with medium is ok-ish? Game feels fresh so try multiple combos!

@@CZMeti th-cam.com/video/8raiwap8ffE/w-d-xo.html Here I spied such a build. I also use medium armor. I like pvp at low levels, it's the most fun, so I'm not in a hurry to level up, I run with pvp mode the whole game) and I don't let anyone hurt me)

@@daemonkisure2952 No idea mate. Just started playing after 2 years so have no experience with artifacts and anything new 😅 yet to experience it.

I did back in the days but once you go heavy you lose burst and mobility. Although I've seen some people having success with it while 1vX using cyclone etc.. not sure what is the state of game now but again heavy has more downside for this built than upsides.

@@CZMeti ok thanks :)

@@kimera777 take my response with grain of salt since it is some months I've been in the game 😉 who knows what's bugged now 🤣

@@CZMeti no more bugs it seems. My problem now is server with low population (no more tokens) and slowly to grow up my gearscore

Hello! I stopped playing once the GS got increased to 625 so I am not up to date with the current meta. Sorry mate!

Dont forget the dodge before kick

Shield - Keenly jagged, sturdy, vicious Sword - rogue, keenly empowered Spear (have two) - Epic - Rogue, keenly empowered and Legendary - Keenly jagged, vicious, ancient bane (keen would be ideal)

We are on the same team most of the time NOW! I stopped recording with all the desync happening.. still not fixed after today's patch :(

I have the same setup but have medium pants and light feet. For me it was mainly about what I could find in the market 😂 you can use this to see what works - docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/113SjzcTacsYkHb9abR4nlUS2FXx36ko7pm08nKizThQ/edit?usp=drivesdk

I'm using the same build but in my set I have heavy helm, medium armor, light legs, heavy gauntlet and medium boots with round shield (22.9 weight).

@@viniciusribeiro5625 Interesting. Do you think I'm gimping myself with my setup, or do you think the heavy chest makes up for the light head/pants?

@@cmartin5295 Depends what perks do you have, with my setup the defense is around 1200. But if you have bought the pieces with good perks like resilient just maintain.

Thank you! Not only it hurts sword damage but spear as well as there are diminishing returns on the main attribute every 100/150 points and secondary attribute will provide more damage. That being said the spear damage between 100 STR, 200 DEX and 300 DEX is not that big so it depends on the preference. With rapier you should go full dex and I would probably go for Spear/Rapier instead of sword. Sword is nice for the leap and bash but not sure if you kill anyone after that with rapier?

@@CZMeti thanks! I have been wondering. Lol I like both weapons for sure. You would keep the full dex with spear and rapier then? I appreciate the insight always helpful to bounce ideas off people. I can't say that I am good at the theory crafting in this regard.

@@digytl Yeah, full Dex with spear/rapier for sure! You might have a problem with ranged classes. Sword/Spear excels against ranged due to the chain CC and leap but with Spear/Rapier you shouldnt go wide in open against ranged unless you can close the gap close enough. I tried Rapier/Spear few time and it is great against melee since you can kite and CC multiple melee opponents at the same time.

Sundering javelin, accelerating defiance stance, skewer for weaken + rest refreshing. All pieces with resilience. Necklace - health, stam recovery, Ring - thrust DMG and refreshing and unique earring - Ill-gotten gains.

I think spear unlike other weapons have all the skills viable, even cyclone. All it matters is how you wanna use it. My setup was mainly for 1v1 (javelin). I didn't try perf, skewer and sweep to be honest but I think it might be good for a skirmisher build but will most definitely not be able to chase or stun lock anyone. Sweep is also in a bad spot currently with all the desync and with the grit bug (if you stun someone with grit on it it remains active so you won't be able to sweep right after stun). I'm currently trying spear and hatchet and am running perf, sweep, kick for XvX. Just remember that kick goes through grit and has empower if you hit target below 50%. As for the attributes again it depends. You can see I have sword only for defence, leap and stun. 100 STR and 200 DEX is optimal for spear DMG and little bit for sword. If you are fighting with your sword it is ok but why would you fight with sword if spear hits harder?

Perforate is awesome in group PvP since that huge rend means big dmg from all sources and it's can hit multiple enemies. I personally don't like sweep for pvp because it's too easy to read and In my experience it gets Iframed too often. If I run javelin, I still take the 25% more dmg on knocked down enemies because javelin into skewer is a disgusting combo lol. For pvp I run either skewer, perf, vault kick or jav, skewer, vault kick. Vault kick is also easy to read and slow, but it's sub passives make it worth more than sweep in my opinion. Especially if you have the weapon perk for vault kick

@@DopeGuyTy I haven't experienced many iframing sweep, it's relatively quick and in combat with a lot going on many get sucked into it. The problem I face is coup doesn't activate well sometimes, and some issue with grit seems to break it and not work on them when they are supposed to be out of grit. I had started out with perf, skewer and sweep and did enjoy it, but I've recently switched to perf, sweep and kick. This gives consistently on sweep as you can 1) perf stagger leaves opening for a clean sweep and 2) kick leaves opening for a clean sweep. That is outside sweep, imo, being a nice group disruption when you get a few close together into it. This allows me to trigger more sweeps consistently and add perf, and re-do the combos instantly and follow up with big dmg with coup. Kick seems almost required now for me. I'm sad to not use skewer but honestly it was inconsistent and the bleed perks with more crit don't seem needed as I feel spear crits nicely by default, and with vault crit perk, perf and keenly empowered it's big damage already.

@@cmartin5295 oh man. I'd say that my sweep get Iframed a good 6 or 7/10 times and I can't even remember the last time I was successfully swept. I don't use I like you do though as in after a vault kick. I'm just too in love with skewer to give it up right now for the passives + gap closing + a skill to get me out of grav well/ice shower

@@DopeGuyTy Very true, I do use it as a follow up to kick which makes it consistent otherwise I can see how it would suck to use. I really like skewer, but I can't get rid of any of the 3 I have. Tough spot. Skewer does help get out of stuff, but I use vault kick for that or leaping strike with sword. The problem I have with skewer too, is that hitting someone from behind, even right on their ass, misses if they're just running away. Which is entirely unacceptable (among 100 other things in this damn game atm). Perf on the other hand, can actually hit people from behind as they run. I really loved the bleed on skewer and helps counter regen, but I feel its' so hard to hit unless you're doing it exactly as someone is locked into an animation frame at you. I thought skewer had to be used because with blood perk you get crit, but since vault kick can achieve the crit % increase I'm only really losing out on some bleed (which I personally can still get with my keenly jagged on shield and coup bleed perk).

100 STR 200 DEX 150 CON for most DMG. But you can also go full dex as there is little DMG decrease but your sword won't do anything.

nwhub.gg/build-maker/?build=acejknrtvwxyzADGHJKLdbeijmquyzABCEFGIJKL STR 100, DEX 200, CON 150 (be aware that shield stats dont count on spear bar so make sure to allocate your points without shield or with spear in hand)
