And yet they'll still complain that "You wouldn't have won if you didn't have high Con, or a Greatsword." 🤣 The War Loggers on my Server get SO salty when I beat them. You are a God-Tier Tank, and I cannot wait until the 15th.
I just watched 5 videos of you , and from all videos i eatched from different people i like your build the most . When it's 15 October, should u jst start with GS and SnB and all heavy armor all the way to max ? I wanna focus on pvp , but if i gonna do some random dungeouns inbetween this good too ? Thanks cant wait for your new videos .
Hi bro! Thank you very much for your comment and for the kind words! :D I will also be starting Fresh, from Zero to Hero! This is what I will do - GS and SNS! I will make the same build - maybe with a few changes due to new items. I will be updating the channel accordingly! :D Same like me - 90% PVP and some dungeons in between with my mates!
@@AlexandrosNewWorld I´ll do the same! Thanks a lot for your videos, I love them and I will stay tuned about your content. But I have one question: Do you consider making a video in which you will tell us your bis perks and talk about your thoughtprocess for that build? for example, why you did not choose grit ward at all although you run with 350 con. Much love from germany
@@DeckardMain Thank you so much bro for the comment and your kind words! I really like your idea - I think it is time that I make a video explaining why I am picking all the perks I use, and how I utilize those perks in combat. Now with the new Fresh Start servers, it will be very interesting to know (especially for the new players) how to properly gear a tank. Plot twist: Contrary to what many players / streamers / youtubers say, I think BIS depends on the weapoons, armor, AND YOUR PLAYSTYLE, AND THE UTILITY ONE BRINGS TO THE TEAM (if there is a team lol). Some people are inherently good at dodging and can track with their eyes the movement of multiple weapons. Others, are not so good. Those that are, might use perks which benefit from dodging such as Shirking Heals. Those that are not so good might take perks such as Slash/Thrust/Strike/Fire Conditioning. (note: You CAN have Slash/Thrust/Strike + Fire conditioning on the same armor - 1 physical / 1 magic) Other people are naturally more aggressive - whether they play tank or not - while others are like a turtle, maximizing defense and survivability. This is why, you will see many tanks use completely different perks, while being efficient and dominating the battlefield. This is contrary to other games, such as Throne and Liberty, where 3 traits (perks) are good, and the rest are trash. The biggest advice I could give to people, is to RECORD your gameplay, and focus on the parts where you lose a fight. Analyze it in slow motion, see how you can overcome it BASED on your natural gamestyle. Hugs from Greece
@@AlexandrosNewWorld good Point with the different playstyles, totale makes Sense to me. I‘m an returning Player and used to Play SnS GS Tank in pvp, so your playstyle fits Perfect to my idea of playing the Game. Im looking forward to your next Videos, thanks again for the Videos and your replys
@@DeckardMain Absolutely man! You can go a bit more aggressive and take a GS offensive skill, however, you lose a LOT of defense due to GS offence tree + your attack is scuffed due to heavy armor. You WILL hit harder, but not as hard as DPS. Thank again for commenting, supporting, and your kind words. Vielen Dank und wir sehen uns im Spiel!
Hi mate. Yes I think it's a great alternative - in fact I believe ALL weapons offer great value in PVP/PVE. Specifically with Flail, you will obviously lose DPS, however it brings in great utility both for your AND your team. Lot's of weaken, trips, making enemies not able to use skill cuz of Cooldown extension, and removing your team's CC debuffs.
@@AlexandrosNewWorld alright thanks for your reply, i don't know how to choose healer vs tank i just know i like the flail ( and the sns) so i'm gathering info about tanking or healing with this weapon X)
@@surolataniere5858 Thank you as well for your comment! To answer your question: Flail is a great weapon overall, with lots of utility, and non-negligible damage. The Flail has 2 trees, the damage tree (Bastion), and the healing tree(Cleric). If you want to be aggressive, you can focus on the dmg tree, and maybe pick 1 skill that can offer healing/utility. The very positive aspect of playing Sword&Shield + Flail&Shield is the huge amount of Fortify that you will be getting from various sources. Also, the areas where u spend your attributes, STR/CON/FOC, AND the decision of playing Heavy OR Medium, can significantly boost damage/healing according to your needs. Now do NOT get wrong: At the beginning you will be destroyed. It's a tough build. But if you stick with it, you will be rewarded. 2 years ago, when I chose this defensive SNS + GS build, people thought I was trolling because everyone thought it was weak. 2 years later, you can see the results of sticking to a build and mastering it.
Thank you for commenting mate. Ignoring the dismissive undertone of your comment, you will be delighted to know that I am editing a video in which I fight ONLY with Sword. I have heard many people on Twitch and in game, mention that playing a tank is braindead. For this reason, I have uploaded fights where I fight 1v7 to 1v12 (no running from Brimstone to First Light, fight WHILE I am staying on point). Others say that heavy armor gives too much protection so I show tank fights while naked. Others say that low gear score can actually increase defense, so I fight completely naked, to the point that 1 Blunderbuss shot can kill me. Others say that Greatsword is the reason the tank stays alive, so I will be showing footage fighting only with Sword. If you are in EU, I will be more than happy to fight you under any condition you want. The point of the videos is NOT to brag bro, neither to show that I am good. The point of the video is to merely show that NW is not p2w, and you can actually beat enemies who outgear you and outlevel you.
This video is mostly for the new players from PC/Xbox/PS5 who do not know much about PVP in NW, and might think it's p2w like other MMOs. For us that we are experiences, we know you are number 3 in PVP leaderboards for a reason - cuz you are menace to society :D
Wow actually some of those guys are on the top 10 pvp list on the leaderboards. Can this be done consistently? In any case, it looks like a good way to practise ! 😂
Yep they are really good! No it cannot be done consistently - I die with 2 hits, so I have to play a "perfect" game in order to win at this level. Basically the more skilled an enemy is, the less forgiving to your mistakes will be. 😄
It's a pity that in a few days the game will turn into TAB TARGET. A great combat system is what is best in this game. Unfortunately, it will disappear and there will be nothing left to keep me playing this game. PVP at OPR will be one big battlefield BB vs Musket vs Bow.
We don't really know that yet mate. :D I am actually quite patient about it, as the most important thing is for the console players to feel comfortable. I guess EVEN IF there is target lock, in 1 month it should be nerfed. AGS will get HUGE backlash :D
Bruh, seriously now? xD This is factually wrong, and also logically wrong. You see I die with 2 hits, right? :D Edit: Discussed with players in game now - indeed there was such a bug. However, it was long time ago and it has been patched. :D
Nice! a fellow streaker! i do it sometimes in OPR when it gets boring!
Wow bro u actually fight naked in OPRs?! Got to try that hahahaha!
@@AlexandrosNewWorld yes! Imagine getting killed by a naked guy in OPR
@@kahunajoegaming I would uninstall and go play Tetris 😂
@@AlexandrosNewWorld hahaha
This is crazy 🦍
Practice makes perfect bro! :D
@@AlexandrosNewWorld I see that great video 🫡

oh no volty69 got downed by naked man..

Great sword defense stance is just really safe
@@RegionYT That is correct. GS defense stance is very safe, with the downside of minimal damage output and low mobility.
Whats the build🤣
HAHAHAHAHA I AM DEAD xD
It's a pity that in a few days the game will turn into TAB TARGET.

Without armor you also have way lower gearscore, which in turn lets you take significantly less dmg than you would normally take. Just AGS things 🤷
Bruh, seriously now? xD
This is factually wrong, and also logically wrong. You see I die with 2 hits, right? :D
Edit: Discussed with players in game now - indeed there was such a bug. However, it was long time ago and it has been patched. :D

@@sugrless If our friend above is right, I better start going naked to Wars and Races :D
@@AlexandrosNewWorldyeah, I'm dropping my armor set and will play naked from now on 😂

Could you imagine that? lol 😄
