I'm gonna pin this because it's an important fact that I forgot to mention in the video. No matter what build of Slayer you decide to play, whether Predator or Executioner, drink a Stimulant before any pull of any boss, unless you want to spend the time to build the meter on the opener (both are relatively fast to build from 0 identity, but it's still annoying).
I'm greatful that saint released this video to provide me wth all the information I need for slayer's relase. I am fully prepared now after learning that 18 is indeed a bigger number than 16.
thank you for this video! if possible, in the future, could you add pictures of the skills you're talking about during the skill build variation part? it helps a lot with organizing everything better. thx again very useful video
Predator is looking very appealing kinda remind me of a better hunger reaper with the high swiftness. I'm tired of spec classes haha my main already barrage Artillerist
I am so happy to see Slayer comming out first my Main is Gunlancer and I am just super looking forward to Slayers higher fast pace gameplay as I do wanna also play perdator its gonna be so nice
as the mass increase vs cd argument if with cd you are at 140% atk speed and if with Mass increase you are at 135% atk speed then mass increase is 18-3.7% or 14.3% more damage CD on the other hand is mitigated slightly by atk power buffs so it's not pure 16% either i think a lot more people are going to be accepting of the lower dps higher numbers with Mass Increase than the trixion min max potential
depending on when korea gets it, we can assume that we would get it about 4-6 months or so after them. So if they get it some time this summer or fall, we probably wont see it until December or early next year
Didn't you have Keen Blunt Weapon before instead of Ambush Master? Did you change because learning to play with entropy is better in the long run or because Hallucination underperformed?
around the 1:50 minute mark you mention the glow being the same - i might be wrong, but don't they fan out differently towards the hilt of the sword on zeals esther +8 weapon? (zerker vs slayer)
No point in really taking it since the alternative options for her are 18% damage selections or better and her Crit Damage is already increased by Entropy. You could use it if you really want to but there's no tangible gain, only potential loss.
@@Saintone K i was just watching your old slayer video and u had keen blunt hallu, so i was wondering because i wanna go hallu until i learn the class and bosses then swap too entropy
This sounds amazing, but I'm kind of masochist and play exclusively spec dps (except gunslinger). Will have to see once I see the other engraving in the action. Almost thinking about switching main from igniter sorc as well so there's a lot to think about during these following weeks.
may i ask why cant you run 1200 swift like depressed demonic to prevent mana issues and put rest into crit you still would have 40% as with support buff with mass but since you using entropy and have 40% crit dmg from class engraving isnt it better to have higher crit rate?
As swift class, you want 1600 swift minimum, it’s mainly for all the cooldown reduction you can get because as swift class, your damage come from spamming as much as you could to stack up your damage
This is how swift class competes with spec class. Spec class don’t spam but they do big hits every cast so in order for swift class to compete, they need to spam their skill harder, the more skill cast count the more dmg a swift class does
All about uptime for swift class. You don’t want to be slow, not just in terms of atk speed and movement speed but also about the rate of your skill cast
To add to what Chicken Flower wrote, adding more crit or spec isn't very beneficial for Predator compared to getting more CDR. You also don't want minimum swiftness due to using Mass Increase.
Currently, she is overtuned and even a Hallucination set will be stronger than other classes, but many people expect her to get nerfed so this may not always be the case.
@@Saintone are there any figures that show current state of comparison of equally geared ones? im considering still pushing for punisher since she does use a Swift Spec neck
You sound insanely tired in this video, brother. Take the mental health break if need be and come back if you even feel like it. The game is in a bad spot, but don't let that put you in a bad spot, too. Thanks for the upload and much love bro
why are you here tho if youre not playing lost ark and wasting time to comment here, lost ark has no room for weak people who just gave up early before end game contents released or maybe you quit during the legion raids "skill issue"
I love spammy aggressive classes in MMOs. I played veng main on wow for years and Lost ark I play reaper .reflux .sh db .and glavier so this class fits right in my wheelhouse perfectly. Just bummed on timing cuz I just built the db this week so not gonna have the mats to blast my slayer too hard right away :/
You need to recharge your identity each pull?

this just got me so hyped to roll a slayer. a hard-hitting swiftness class is a dream for me
I knew I wanted to play swift slayer but now I want it even more, thanks for the great video
Took a break from this game and didn’t decided to watch a video for it today and this is the earliest I’ve ever been to a Saintone vid
thank you for this video! if possible, in the future, could you add pictures of the skills you're talking about during the skill build variation part? it helps a lot with organizing everything better. thx again very useful video
Will do! This video was recorded and edited in under 24 hours so next time we'll put more care and time into it.
Thank you very much for the video, great timing.
Rise up Slayer mains!!! May is our month🎉
*cries in aeromancer*
Goddamn I always wondered if 18 was bigger than 16. Thank you for the thorough research!
18 is bigger than 16?! thank god that I watched ur guide! U're a legend Saint!
Holy shit I thought I clicked a Misshapen Chair video LOL I got whiplash when i didnt hear the right intro and Saints voice xDD
A fast paced class that's easy to play and only has one mode: attack; is exactly my jam.
Recently returned to the game, will have to give her a try. Seems really fun, though I’ve not spent time with OG berserker.
Thank you Saint for this amazing guide, i'm looking forward to your Aeromancer guide.
it would be cool if you could put images of the skills and tripods when talking about slayer
Normally I would, but this was edited within a day's notice so I didn't have time to prepare footage like I did with Summoner. Next time.
Readings hard I guess... Lol
Predator is looking very appealing kinda remind me of a better hunger reaper with the high swiftness. I'm tired of spec classes haha my main already barrage Artillerist
21:45 I see what You did there :> :D
just in time King.
You're the reason why I want to make a Preadtor Slayer! Making it look so fun, I can't wait! I'm hoarding my mats now for next month!
Great vid dood, very excited for swift Slayer and Aeromancer >:)
That skin is so cool
I love it "I've checked from several sources and yes 18 is definitely bigger than 16"
PERFECT Timing!
Holy shit this is hella detailed. Thanks saint
I am so happy to see Slayer comming out first my Main is Gunlancer and I am just super looking forward to Slayers higher fast pace gameplay as I do wanna also play perdator its gonna be so nice
i main red and i might drop it for her
gl dmg can be sad sometimes
Sounds amazing
did not know you could "go over" ATKSPD cap and basically use MI for free. 4.8k hours in and still learning
THANK YOU MR.SAINT
Yo, great video. What skin are you using here?
Could you recommend an actual guide for this perhaps? Also, awesome video!
thank you for this video
Wait what exactly do you mean by saying Predator is a "non-committal" class? When comparing to Mayhem Berserker?
He's talking about red dust jail
got it. I've been confused since I was a child but 18 is indeed a bigger number than 16!!
For Hallucination (non back attacking) variant is better to go with KBW or Cursed Doll, instead of the Ambush Master?
KBW in that case.
as the mass increase vs cd argument
if with cd you are at 140% atk speed
and if with Mass increase you are at 135% atk speed
then mass increase is 18-3.7% or 14.3% more damage
CD on the other hand is mitigated slightly by atk power buffs so it's not pure 16% either
i think a lot more people are going to be accepting of the lower dps higher numbers with Mass Increase than the trixion min max potential
not how it works, mass increase is more dps
@@JuanLopez-cm7fx it's not depending on your build
Is there a chance to know, how long it takes until the Soul Eater comes to EU/NA Lost Ark?
depending on when korea gets it, we can assume that we would get it about 4-6 months or so after them. So if they get it some time this summer or fall, we probably wont see it until December or early next year
noticed entropy is more popular. was really hoping she'd be more similar to zerker where they dont have to chase the butt.
maybe i'll go with the hallucination set
what its like HE KNEW
You had me at good and easy to play
What skin were you using in the video, are those available in NA
great video sain tony
Didn't you have Keen Blunt Weapon before instead of Ambush Master? Did you change because learning to play with entropy is better in the long run or because Hallucination underperformed?
I changed because I swapped from 7m to 6m and switched my skill loadout and tripods to fast tripods, which made playing Entropy very easy afterwards.
0:34 Hit Master on Slayer, or is this graphic from the Aeromancer Windfury Guide? :D
Ah it's a clip showing that I covered both Summoner builds but for Slayer/Aeromancer I only covered one build in my overview. Sorry for the confusion!
activision class pog
around the 1:50 minute mark you mention the glow being the same - i might be wrong, but don't they fan out differently towards the hilt of the sword on zeals esther +8 weapon? (zerker vs slayer)
Esther weapons have different glow that normal weapons
so which is better hallu or entropy hmm?
Can we play predator with 4x3 1x2 and 1x1 class engraving?
first! this was fast >.>
Don :O OG zerker god
What is the skin that you're using on your slayer?
Lunar New Year 2023.
whats up with your mic? Its have static sound in your few video lately
If your swiftness caps out at 140% but you'll be around 150% with Mass Increase. Should your pet be rocking a different skill boost?
The primary purpose of overcapping on Swiftness is for the Cooldown Reduction.
Is keen blunt viable for predator for 5x3 or maybe only viable if u go 5x3+ 1 adrenaline?
No point in really taking it since the alternative options for her are 18% damage selections or better and her Crit Damage is already increased by Entropy. You could use it if you really want to but there's no tangible gain, only potential loss.
@@Saintone K i was just watching your old slayer video and u had keen blunt hallu, so i was wondering because i wanna go hallu until i learn the class and bosses then swap too entropy
What would you replace Ambush Master with if you decide to play her mayhem-style running Hallucination?
KBW.
How many elemental skills does slayer have
Saintones slayer looks like zabuza from Naruto.
you can still cap atk speed with increase mass? wont the negative atk speed apply last, so the most would be %30?
Nah, it adds up cumulatively, and then the game cuts you off last when determining that.
Is Nightmare predator slayer good?
it seems the LOAWA armory link doesn't work. Says theres no character information.
Fixed the link, cheers.
@@Saintone thanks so much man
Makes me wonder if I run the other build with spec could I switch adrenaline out with super charge for those slow skills
This sounds amazing, but I'm kind of masochist and play exclusively spec dps (except gunslinger). Will have to see once I see the other engraving in the action.
Almost thinking about switching main from igniter sorc as well so there's a lot to think about during these following weeks.
Slayer mains rise up 🎉
saint i love your slayer skin, what is it?
Lunar New Year 2023 top/hat, legendary bottom, launch package sword.
can u make a maxroll build for this @saintone
its kinda sad this game dosent have a english build planner
what is the best 4x3 eng?
the weakest synergy is the one where u get 6% atk power
what about cards? can she go umars? since she seems to be fire type
Not recommended, not all of her damage output is elemental.
This game keeps throwing characters at us and yet you can’t do a lot of the islands and stuff bc NO ONE is there
Since she has fast attack speed , can I use focus runes on her skills to help with mana issues ?
You can get away with one but I recommend just using Galewind and Quick Recharge for highest damage and lowest cooldowns.
@@Saintone gotcha, thanks!
Ayo i can finally play lost ark forreeal
Goodbye berserker!
What is that outfit? I hope its not realised on global version yet
Lunar New Year 2023.
Can you show proof that 18 is bigger than 16?
Hey which skin are you wearing?
Its the Lunar New Year 2023 KR. The west will probably get it next year.
may i ask why cant you run 1200 swift like depressed demonic to prevent mana issues and put rest into crit

@@Saintone im saying 50% as with support
can she run something other than entropy set and ambush master and still do good dmg?
Currently, she is overtuned and even a Hallucination set will be stronger than other classes, but many people expect her to get nerfed so this may not always be the case.
@@Saintone thanks, i guess ill wait for the balance patch and see
Let's fuckin goooooooooooooo
BIG FAN !
neck is swift + crit?
Yep.
how many dmg and cooldown gems that predator slayer need?
6 damage 5 cooldown.
@@Saintone thank you saint!
does this class have an ideal swift stat to reach?
Not a specific one no. Just as much as you can get.
@@Saintone thanks!
Is punisher better overall??
In the current balance, Punisher is more powerful on average outside of Hell mode.
@@Saintone are there any figures that show current state of comparison of equally geared ones? im considering still pushing for punisher since she does use a Swift Spec neck
rip TERA
can she use dominion?
Not recommended, this would worsen mana issues and Entropy is stronger.
Its only me or is predator slayer just like hunger reaper lol
Hopefully she's more enjoyable than swift zerker. Honestly one of the most boring classes in the game.
Dose avec Poe
I looked at loa website and the top 50 slayer is 90% Punisher engrave (Main Spec/Swft). Is this swift really viable?
where do you look? on what site?
KR players always prefer spec setups.
man cleared hell brel with slayer. you really asking if people can play the build in normal content?
Swift is for cheapos like Saint
@@VVD00D thx for nothing ! Keep helping

That was my first time being awake when there was sunlight outside in like 3 weeks.
You talk just like Megan from Key and Peele
Lmao
LOST ARK KEKW
FIRST
third xdd
People still play this game?
Yes, do you still watch Lost Ark videos when you obviously don't play?
@@Hanzgraves it was randomly recommended
@@ytsamurai1962 Of course because u comment Lost Ark related videos 😂

Really bro?
why are you here tho if youre not playing lost ark and wasting time to comment here, lost ark has no room for weak people who just gave up early before end game contents released or maybe you quit during the legion raids "skill issue"
mass increase is also SUPER cheap. like grudge mass increase 100 quality stuff is almost nothing.
