As the least common, that gives a false sense of security to those not already interested in rolling hammermage. Further bolstering the population disparity between Hammermage, and Cryoknight, which helps solidify that as a guardian, there will be more people for you to kill, than not. Meanwhile, the cryoknight is actually the worse class, because they will have the largest group of players who counter them while having the smallest group of players they are strong against.
@@TheMartianReport I went Hammermage mostly thinking of this for the pvp side when it is added it if matters at all. I knew I had not seen nearly as many Guardians as Cryoknights or Hammermages. Every day I check nearby players and it will be 5 or 6 of each Cryo and Hammer and maybe 1 or 2 Guardians. I also noticed that all the Cryoknights weapons turn gold for the perfect versions like the Captains sword in Hopeport. I saw that the Hammermages weapons get a gold glowing outline like the leader you speak to before joining. Which leads me to assume that we will be able to get armor which looks like the Cryoknight leader and Hammermage leader. I think both look sick which leads me to believe the Guardians could look decent end game as well. But we might not really know until someone hits the 400s in Armorcrafting lol. Sorry for the book the coffee is hitting hard this morning. Appreciate the video!
In nature, the roots of plants wriggle into tiny cracks in stones. As the plant grows and the roots/vines thicken, they split stones apart. This will be why plant beats rock based on the reasoning used on why cold beats plants. Plants like to be warm with their much needed water in liquid form. Rocks like to not be broken in pieces.
If they counter eachother in PvP Hammermage seems like the strongest choice because you will go neutral against your own very popular class and have an advantage against the other popular class in Cryoknight
@@newyou6210 But statically you will be less likely to come up against your weakness and mainly players prefer Hammer and Cryo. So, I am just curious if it will be more of a duel arena they implement first or more like the Wilderness where it all depends on who is waiting to mess you up lol. Either way I am looking forward to see what they do.
The ruffling of paper gave us both a giggle. Also I love the idea hammer mages think they will be PVP gods only to be stopped by the chilled nature lovers. For errr reasons...
Selected Guardian, but it would've been nice to have gotten some good looking armor. Even just like animal skull helms would have given us some flair. Mages and Knights got the cool looking equipment.
The polished bone looks a lot better, but unfortunately, I couldn't find anyone who had it to show it off because there are genuinely pretty few guardians.
Nature is good against hammer age simply because how does the electrical current go through things that can’t absorb the shock? Think Pokémon grass vs electric
I think the special attacks might be the only thing that makes one class better than the other. I hope they make sure they are balanced otherwise older players will feel real crappy with their choice.
The special attacks will be cool and all, but I think it would also be neat if you got a little special effect when you hit an enemy with your preferred element. Nothing major, just a little spark of power, showing you're doing something. Thinking about it as I type this though, people might misunderstand that it should be doing more damage. We can't have nice things.
Cryoknight has an edge over the other two from a crafting perspective of weapons. You only need mining for cryoknights as where the other two need mining/gathering and woodcutting/carpentry to create the majority of their weapons. The few recipes that require poles as a cryoknight you can skip over and train with something that only requires metal ore.
Depends as a stonesmith yes I need wood cutting to make the weapons but there are those which only need stones. So I have been skipping wood cutting for now just to level stonesmith and mining. This will still require me to farm woodcutting for actually crafting the weapons but eh I like be hammer bonks lol
@@harrykellett2061 He excluded blacksmithing because he excluded the actual crafting skill for the weapons from all 3 classes and was only talking about what professions you need to train in order to train your class specific crafting skill.
I went hammer mage, not cause they are lightning cause i prefer cryo type elements, not cause their big bonk cause i like cryo weapons more, i like gathering so i could of gone into guardian but no i chose hammer mage specifically for how cool their leader looked to me
I went Guardian hoping it'll eventually be more ranged-based, plus hopefully being more of the support class for future bosses, and lastly hoping for some cool nature-y attack/spell animations. So basically... my decision is based purely off of hopeful future updates. Definitely wasn't going to go Cryo since it's just boring melee, and everyone else was going Hammermage so that made it less unique/appealing. I will admit, though, we look derpy as heck lol (even the icon looks like the jacksepticeye logo).
I want the option to change no joke he makes the biggest point, starting out the game you already have to make the choice not knowing what's coming how many people are actually your class will it be divided how big is the disadvantage what bosses will you need to fight later that will hurt you a lot. Biggest point though is so early in the game you have to decide a permanent choice
I really want to progress with the story, but I just can't decide which I want so even at over 200 levels I'm still factionless lol. I wish we could just continue on with the main story without choosing a faction.
same here, im waiting on more information about the special attacks and things to come out before making my selection. as of this writing im factionless at level 350 lol. I really can't decide tbh so im hoping when the special attacks come out I can make that choice. Until then, im just leveling up the professions I have access to, plenty to do there :p
@@ShadowStrider-1 - 350 is fun to see factionless, I feel like we're in our own separate faction. I just spent like 31,000 hours on my main Runescape account, and if I end up doing the same on Brighter Shores I want to be sure I made the right decision. I want to focus on Fishing atm, I love the jellyfish bottom part of the cape lol.
I saw it as Frost DK, Druid and Paladin, and since I'm in a forest I went with druid. Easy as Also I imagine it will get reworked once they give these roles any actual meaning like magic etc.
So, the reason for Tempestae being weak to Arborae, or rather not effective, is because wood is a poor conductor of electricity. Likewise, bones are also not good conductors when outside of the body. Not the official reason, but this is the best I can come up with. Also guardian is best. Wearing the bones of our fallen enemies? Sounds badass to me.
Yeah I maybe could have curated it a bit better but we get polished bone and stuff later on, and then bone weapons look a bit better, but it is true that we don't really know what we are
i simply chose cryoknight because it reminded me so much of the lich king, Glad to see u represent it in the video also. Otherwise, yes, my choice would be hammer mage
this video is non bias but shows that Guardian is still the best class, don't @ me

Can confirm by looking at the end game weapons crafting in chapter 3 we can craft the perfect hammer the NPC has.
Jayce got a serious power boost in S2 to solo Arthas like that.

The gear gets way better later on, I just couldn't find any examples for this video. Good choice!
Idk I had an itch to rp a druid and instead I'm Role playing a barbarian.... Guardian sets are abysmal
Is there a probability that there will be more factions to choose from in the future?
Based on how the game is designed I genuinely think there is 0% we see future classes
new chapters/episodes might bring more factions and abilities
so many people want to reroll their faction including me
I reckon there's a non-zero chance he caves and offers a reroll, but we will have to see.

Liked and subscribed. Maybe Arborae is strong against Tempestae because nature can overcome storms -but who knows lol
Plant roots get into tiny cracks or seems in stone then rip the stone apart as the plant grows more big. I'll bet my hammer that's the reasoning.
Do you have to make a choice or is it hindering the questline if you don't? Because i'd rather just be neutral.
You have to make a choice to proceed the main story and you get capped at Level 50 on combat skills otherwise.

A few hours?? Am I playing this game wrong?
I went hammermage but cryoknight is growing on me
does having a class do anything in hopeport? still dont get the episodes yet, im about to head into episode 2 with 25 guard level.
Later on at higher you'll get faction specific fear drops, but usually mostly post 50 Guard. But other than gear drops, nothing else
@@Teloril cool, ty
@@Teloril Since choosing a class I seem to get mostly faction drops I actually liked the guard gear.
@@Teloril I got a hammermage drop at lvl 15 in the training grounds
I went hammer mage do to like the idea of hamers and lightning. Regret it though. Cryo armor looks way better.
went cryoknight as i like death knight in wow
Very nice Tel, another poggers video
Picked hammer, because hammer...
We do know who we are :)
3:10 how are you confused, everyone knows grass type is good against electric
I picked cryo because the green one seems annoying/not that cool and most people will be hammermage but its still choosing blindly.
The Hammer Mage's 'Throwing Stones' is pretty wack. maybe make it a slingshot or something lol, but the femboi knights get all the interesting weapons
Glad I picked Temu Lich King over Wish Assassins Creed with Hammers. Also Guardians dont have any sort of identity, its baffling.
Yeah I maybe could have curated it a bit better but we get polished bone and stuff later on, and then bone weapons look a bit better, but it is true that we don't really know what we are
I left this with only one question
Where in the world are you from? Your accent is bewildering lol
@@JelloSpine Hahaha!
I am Australian who grew up with Americans online in MMOs and spent 6 years in Canada. It's a mess 😅
Guardian leader is a literal tree 🌲 😂
I pick hammermage based solely on its name. Hammermage? Sold.
i simply chose cryoknight because it reminded me so much of the lich king, Glad to see u represent it in the video also. Otherwise, yes, my choice would be hammer mage
I really dont understand why you are class locked.
I'm really struggling to see why everyone has 3 weapon crafting skills when 2 will always be pointless.
I am assuming only for trade if you wanted to sell to the other factions buuuut why wouldn't we just sell to our own? lol I don't get it either.
Prob just for side quest requirements
if you pick hammermage, im stealin somethin out your house
3 hours? i did not hit this part until 91 hours, have i been playing wrong?
HAHA
you've been playing RIGHT
@Teloril thanks Sama one day I will find branoff inheritance!
❤
shiiii i picked the wrong one
3 hours into the game? wait.. I got there after like 30 hours lmfao
Oops.
guardian is the worst because bonewright sucks
First!
This actually is the most pointless video ever made. No combat stat besides weapons does anything.
