Good to see a content creator actually making content that has content, not like many others that have a lot of void in it and just blabla something random not related to the title.
Thanks for the comment! I do have a humorous streak and so some of my videos are silly fun, but I will be trying to focus on value rather than void drama/content for clicks
Awesome video. This really helped me out a lot. Now that the Alpha is only 5 days a week I need videos like this to keep me busy! Keep up the great work!
Glad this helped! Yes, May can’t come soon enough!! I’m going to keep up with content like this as best I can, but given we’re in alpha deep diving a lot of the systems is hard atm as many of them are still husks of their final intended form - but I will keep building on ideas as best I can.
Great explanation; admittedly I've been confused on the finisher vs deadly finisher distinction myself. Like you I'm also a new channel, content creator that is loving my experience in Ashes Alpha 2. Looking forward to seeing more of your content soon.
As Cleric, my favorite move is Flash Cure, because you can cast it while casting other abilities even on other targets, but I especially like it for applying heals while I maintain my weapon combos.
Thank you so much for this explanation! You're my current chosen Cleric helper. I'm also a Thor content enjoyer so I hope to see you around in chat or discord or game sometime
What a great video! More stuff like this is what ashes needs in the content creator space. It’s also great to see people doing ashes content getting more and more views keep it up!
Imo the alpha is fantastic. Im grateful that i can already make my first steps in this future masterpiece. Thanks for the guide i was really confused about that shi(f)t but you made it look so obvous^^
To my awareness echos should just allow the finisher to trigger again without a full combo cycle. So say you’re using a long bow and your deadly finisher triggers on the third hit. Echo adds an extra “dice role” on the third combo for X to occur on top of whatever else has happened. Where X is whatever finisher you have running. Does that help?
nice explanation. my only problem with spellbook that i never know when my finisher procced or not. with wand i could see perfectly but with spellbook i have no clue.
Thanks for watching. Oh interesting!? What number of hits is required to combo? If you hover over the book when it’s equipped it should tell you. I’ll do some testing on my end tonight and see if I can replicate. It could be a bug
@@BlandPickle as i remember correctly 3 is needed. but sometimes doing 20 and nothing happens. mainly when i solo i use the hp regen melody and the finisher should heal me, but not even that works. and from deadly finisher neither of double spell proc or 5 sec cd reduction works. maybe its just a bard thing, has a lot of bugs.
Definitely sounds buggy! See if you can get a report in for it. One thing I have to do is sometimes switch my passives and finishers, accept the changes and then change them back to get them working. Also unequiping the weapon and then putting them back on does the trick sometimes. does the issue happen with a spellbow or melee weapon? Or just the book?
I REALLY hope that it’s intended for your weapons to proc deadly finishers for both weapon sets. The synergy is amazing. Melee cleric proccing burning from my sheathed spellbook is so fun 😂
Great video! Have you tried shortbow? I was using wand, then longbow, and then once I tried shortbow I was hooked. Feels SO much better than the other options on cleric.
I LOVE short bow, the speed it procs deadly finishers is wild - I'm just waiting for a good one to drop and I'll be using it :D The current longbow I have has 184 magic powers, so I'm stuck using it until I get a good short bow
@@BlandPickle Yeah, I am at lvl 16 and still using mostly crafted lvl 10 stuff, plus whatever additional things I have found along the way. All my spots are filled, but I look like a patchwork scarecrow as far as quality, lol
@@Cimarb I have the ashen amour set farmed out which is pretty good for just overall defence while I solo level, not sure where to go to from here, maybe I start putting effort into my inventory of hoarded mats and start making some gear instead of relying on drops 🤣. I’m level 14.75 so I’m a way off 20 and trying to get there solo, paint me dumb but I set the challenge for myself haha
@@BlandPickle ashen haunt? Why did you go heavy? I am doing arcane mind (light) and healtank groups of mobs pretty well solo or duo with my son. Just have to be careful of bears and large groups of hard hitters like grem or mino warriors.
@@Cimarb yeah even with the ashen bears and grems slap, got the set mainly for the additional heal buff when I’m soloing - I haven’t started my amour and weapon crafting artisans yet so just using it because it dropped while I was grinding ashen at Celph
Yeah in a group scenario that’s for sure, wound works there quite nicely. Solo, stagger is (to me) a little more preferred. Maybe some rotation review on my end for sure! Thanks for checking my video out :)
Generally you’ll want to hit the combo pretty quickly, in some lazy testing I found that about a second was too long between taps. I think button mashing is the way :(
Yep! It’s mostly complicated by the price point. I’ve had a couple of comments along the lines of “Why pay to test a game in alpha?” My thinking on it remains the same: To me I paid for very early access. That’s the best way I can explain it. I couldn’t wait for the polish, I wanted the experience now, with the added caveat of a support role in bug squishing.
I've has this beard since I was about 20, which is longer than ashes of creation has been in development. On that logic, I fully claim that they copied me.
Thank you, this one was harder to shorten but defo aware of my over explanation. Will work on it! Also yes once I learn how to do that! Appreciate the feedback 🙏🏻

Thanks for making this and also coming back and updating it.
No problem! I feel like deadly finishers are probably the worst explains aspect of this game so I gave it my best crack haha
This is the best content iv ever seen. First whole video iv watched in ages
Oh wow! Thank you for the generous comment
Great explanation; admittedly I've been confused on the finisher vs deadly finisher distinction myself. Like you I'm also a new channel, content creator that is loving my experience in Ashes Alpha 2. Looking forward to seeing more of your content soon.
thank you - there's a few things to tidy up from this video but hopefully the basics I've covered help. Appreciate your feedback :)
As Cleric, my favorite move is Flash Cure, because you can cast it while casting other abilities even on other targets, but I especially like it for applying heals while I maintain my weapon combos.
Yes! Tbh my favourite class so far and probably what I’ll be maining for a while yet in ashes
I literally JUST started playing and had this queetion. Now your video popped up. Amazing. Subbed
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful!
Nice video bud. Thanks for the explanation you did a good job.
thank you! appreciate it :) happy gaming!
Appreciated explanation! Happy gaming.
Thanks for watching! And to you too!
Thank you so much for this explanation! You're my current chosen Cleric helper. I'm also a Thor content enjoyer so I hope to see you around in chat or discord or game sometime
So very glad to hear it! More role play videos about Thor coming soon (should be fun!)
What a great video! More stuff like this is what ashes needs in the content creator space. It’s also great to see people doing ashes content getting more and more views keep it up!
Thank you, I’m new to this so will do my best to keep the quality like this (and some fun silly vids along the way too). Your feedback means a lot :)
Appreciate the break down!
no worries, ill hopefully have more detail once i've done some more testing soon :)
Excellent detailed breakdown 👌
Thank you!
You are a cleric from heaven, thank you so much for the detailed explanation.
Im simply a blandpickle, but thank you and you are welcome.
Good video!
thank you!
Thank you, good vid.
Thank you!! Will try to keep making content like this :)

I may have to make left shi(f)t the channel banner 😆. You’re welcome! Glad it helped!! I can’t wait to see where they take it from here.
Great explanation, I'm still a bit confused on extended finishers and echos... i need to dive into it more tbh.
To my awareness echos should just allow the finisher to trigger again without a full combo cycle. So say you’re using a long bow and your deadly finisher triggers on the third hit. Echo adds an extra “dice role” on the third combo for X to occur on top of whatever else has happened. Where X is whatever finisher you have running. Does that help?

thx for the advice. earlier on mage i used wand. for bard i use only spellbook with orb. maxbe i will try sword too or wand on bard how it works.
@@csanya25 no problem :) see how you go, ill be on tomorrow so ill try test the book too :)
I REALLY hope that it’s intended for your weapons to proc deadly finishers for both weapon sets. The synergy is amazing. Melee cleric proccing burning from my sheathed spellbook is so fun 😂
I’m yet to confirm but having listened to Thor speak on this, my thoughts are that it is intended. I think so too!

holding left shit now
🤣 tbh I wanted to cut it out but thought “nah no one will pick it up” then I remembered internet. Anyway, left shit it is 🤦
Stagger is good but against a healing mob the extra damage (if you'd have otherwise missed an attack) isnt as good as avoiding a mob healing up.
Yeah in a group scenario that’s for sure, wound works there quite nicely. Solo, stagger is (to me) a little more preferred. Maybe some rotation review on my end for sure! Thanks for checking my video out :)
Is there a timing benefit to hitting "Q" to prevent button smashing? Seems like attacks are quicker when I don't mash, BUT that could be lag.
Generally you’ll want to hit the combo pretty quickly, in some lazy testing I found that about a second was too long between taps. I think button mashing is the way :(
@@BlandPickle Thank you
@@JW-wr4ep anytime
pickle man
the picklez man :)
I don't think its people are used to seeing better Alphas, I think its people aren't used to seeing true Alpha test phases
Yep! It’s mostly complicated by the price point. I’ve had a couple of comments along the lines of “Why pay to test a game in alpha?” My thinking on it remains the same: To me I paid for very early access. That’s the best way I can explain it.

I would guess this game won’t be done until 2028
Yep sound about right-ish based on their own timeline or the expectation in the community.
Did ashes copy your beard for the character creation the opposite way? 😂
I've has this beard since I was about 20, which is longer than ashes of creation has been in development. On that logic, I fully claim that they copied me.
@@BlandPickle and youre right🫡

Interesting video, too many words, brevity would have been better. Try voicing over combat instead of fighting then explaining.
Thank you, this one was harder to shorten but defo aware of my over explanation. Will work on it! Also yes once I learn how to do that! Appreciate the feedback 🙏🏻
@@BlandPickledon’t listen to this terrible comment. This video was perfect. Thank you.
@ appreciate your support man! I’m all about getting better and taking feedback as it all helps!! Have fun in AoC!
