As a magic user, equip your staff in the ranged weapon slot on your character. Then, when you need to use the staff, you simply hold Q (I mapped this to a mouse button) and cast with the staff. Let go, and you're back to the weapon on your bar. It's much faster.
there’s technically 2 types of bows, longbows and short bows. like their name implies, they have different ranges, with the key difference being draw time and stamina cost. longbows cost stamina to draw and fire, but short bows don’t require any stamina.
Yup. Came to say this. Nothing against the Legacy people, but these simple mistakes are common in their videos. Andin this case, there is a playstyle difference. If you have to account for stamina, it changes things in combat.
Even within short and longbows there are different forms. I had a shortbow with stamina cost, then hunter bows with higher arrow speed but longer draw speed compared to the .6 of other short bows
Recently started a second world for a bow user and noticed this so have been using a longbow through the toolbar while exploring and popping archer heads but for closer fights using a shortie through Q slot
someone on reddit told me to get water aura and I thought it would be a minimal heal over time but hot damn HOT DAMN since I unlocked it I almost never use healing tools and just use food to extend my health bar. Incredible honestly it almost feels like a glitch
Melee felt like shit at endgame. I went blunt/piercing had every dmg buff on the tree, best str food, lvl 25 legendary weapons fully enhanced and dmg just felt horrible. Meanwhile my mage friend who took 1 of each element wand was killing everything within 5 seconds including bosses. Wands are just too op.
Magic in general is broken, acid will let you 1 shot anything including bosses but melee is still viable and fine I would recommend a "paladin" style of play for sure though just less of a headache. It is also entirely possible that at endgame things will change we still only have access to about a 1/3 of the game
Funny you say that bc me and my friend are 6-8 hours into game and I do close to no damage as a mage while he’s using two handed weapons and obliterating everything
As a range player its highly useful to have both a longbow and a shortbow. Longbow is used the most, for long range and when you're not in the fray. Shortbow I have equipped on Q, and is used when in Melee range because of the fast draw speed and it doesn't cost stamina. Many times if you use the long bow in close quarters, its draw speed is too long to get a shot off before the enemy closes the distance, so you need both to make the most out of every situation.
You can do a roll charge/leap into combat as well. Start your roll about double the distance from your intended target, just as you are standing up hit the attack button and you will leap to your target. Playing solo, to get your backstabs, roll foward past your target right before they attack
My current build is wand tank, in the game ATM if you hold block while attacking with a wand it doesn't lower your shield, so you just spam damage and take none in return
Wizard class is busted. Once you get eternal acid bite, you can kill every boss in 3-5 seconds. I'm warrior/wizard path tho, not fully invest skill point in wizard. Probably will patch in future.
It's especially great to change you build depending on your activity your planning ....for ex. I usually respect when I need to hit a farming spot leaning completely into stamina and the begining farming skills like 10% chance for 2
Twigs farm is really boring and collecting those branches with E is slow however I've seen multiple tips and tricks vids and noone has mentioned the 2 for me the easiest/fastest ways: 1 - here and there you can find sth like an animal "burrow", sometimes they look like big ball of branches/twigs (especially in the desert biome). you can use pickaxe onthem and it gives twigs. this isn't the fastest but the easiest and better then picking them up when you run aroud. 2 - in the northern forest part of the game (fly north from the 2nd spire you unlock, forgot the name, theres lot of clay and copper around) ther are many taller twig looking trees usually in larger quantities together. You can't pick them up with E but if you use axe on them they drop 3-4 pieces of 2 twigs. This is I think the fastest way but you have to move around a bit, not like in the first tip when you just stand in the middle and move your mouse around :) BONUS TIP 3 - this was mentioned by some guides but i find it boring and am not sure if it is faster then the other 2 but you can just grow them by your base. Use the farming table to produce seedlings, i think 1 fiber gives 5, then plant them, wait a bit and collect. effective but needs even more mindless clicking :) I do hope that the devs decide to reduce the cost to at least 10 twigs / 50 arrows though or at least give an option to split wood piece into let's say 2 twigs at the carpenters sawmill.
@@virkfulsarchive Bloodletting - 50% chance on magic weapon crit to spawn 2 orbs that replenish 10% of mana/health/stamina. Life Burst - heal 3x your Intellect on magic weapon kill to all players within 15 meters Blood Magic - restore 20% mana at a cost of 1:1 to health if mana drops below 20%
Yep, these are pretty good. Livid was just messing around with them yesterday in a group setting and it turns the battlefield into a set of christmas tree lights with the number of orbs he can make lol.
The game itself and the idea of it is fantastic. But I’m so glad that it’s in Early access, because there is so much that needs to be added and improved. 2 things I can think of is enemy diversity like having more enemies to fight. And they really need to polish the combat as it just feels very generic :(
Pro grinder tip... Save xp scrolls to give to second character....that way instead of respect character you can load in a new melee stamina or wizard character
I would love to see some necro type spells added down the road i know its extremely early and there are way more things that need to be fixed and stuff first but its been a fun game so far
One thing about parry is... It's very difficult and not reliable. Guess I don't have those dark souls reflexes but it's just not viable like it was in Valheim for me. At all.
Archery... arrows take way too much time to craft at the end game. Almost an hour work worth of explosive arrows gone in 30 seconds. Jump attack, nice but I get glitched in mid-air with no option to move roll or escape. But hopefully that'll be fixed.
I need these guys to balance the fighting for Bow playstyles. Melee and Magic seem to have skills that let you become pretty OP by comparison. Meanwhile I am mid-high level in bows and I am still losing stamina way too fast due to dodging and then getting laid out too easily. I realize people may say, hey just use a shield when enemies get too close. And yes this technically does work... to a degree. But this inherently feels like I am balancing two classes while the other classes can spec into a single thing.
Radiant Aura only damages FELL creatures--meaning just the creatures corrupted by the Shroud. Uncorrupted animals and the fuzzy tribal dudes are not affected.
Sheild and 2 wand types(ice and fire). and you can defeat any enemy in game..How? Hold shield Up in block postion, and just back up shooting with wand...only vulnerable to area magic damge but no other damage even against boss attacks.
can you hit yourself with healing spells ? or is it purely for multiplayer ? also can melee weapons or bows be magic weapons if they deal elemental damage? are wands and staffs ranged weapons ? what about the magical fists ? i ask because of skills ? im unsure what buffs what outside of the obvious stuff
take away that useslees dodge roll and invest in to blink its 4 point if you are going mage or even melee its more instant way of dodging and there is a skill that give you an aggressive verion of it exploding on impact with enemies
Like a few other videos, this one confirms for me that the game is really skewed towards magic classes... which is pretty disappointing as it just feels less gritty to me. Hopefully combat tweaks are incoming to make the other styles more competitive as options
I agree parry timings are jank. Some attacks had to be like 1 frame beforehand meanwhile others get parried when the enemy has their sword still behind them, just starting to swing.
... There is def more than one type of Bow, unsure why you said there wasn't. Most notably is the fast draw and slow draw bows, which have very different stats in all areas (damage, stamina use, velocity, draw speed) For someone who claims to have played a lot of Enshrouded, there's a lot of info in this video that is just plain wrong...
You basically always have your shield equipped and depending on the weapon you use it will either be out and available or won't if you are using a 2 handed weapon like the bow.
And staves which act similar to bows as you craft spell charges like you would arrows for a bow, with the exception of eternal spells which you only need one of and can use it over and over.
Na there's like a handful of mediocre spells aswel, I don't mean damage wise, they just don't feel impactful or look any good 🤣 I hope they can expand on this greatly
@mo-em1ke I hate when they do that, tho. Being a consistent magic user I feel like mages always get the short end of development. It's like devs just want to create a trinity team without putting the work into all the classes. But oh well, I'm looking forward to Dragons Dogma 2 anyway.
Magic class: I stay far from combat, so my armor can be made of parchment paper. I am never in any real danger and haven't died in months. What I do requires almost no skill. Ranged class: I stay far from combat, so my armor can be made of parchment paper. I am never in any real danger and haven't died in months. What I do requires a little skill. Melee class: I die all the time, but at least my panties don't ride up under my wizard robes. Magic and ranged WISH they had this much skill.
You're style of melee fighting appears to be weak and pathetic. Big ol two hander and a mage staff, soloed everything so far cept the last boss given to us so far. Big groups of enemies fall in a single hit. No need to block with a shield like a cupcake :p
why is your combat so slow sheesh my combat , the small guys kill me in 2 seconds, lemme guess " get good bro" nah, you have slowed your video to make it look easier
@@plasmodesma7569i played New World day 1, and Enshrouded is WAY more fun. Played it tough for about 3 weeks and never touched it again. Enshrouded has me addicted like Valheim did and still does.
@@Silent_Shadowhow? The games a right click simulation with shallow af combat. At least valheim has the decency to give weapons a special attack and unique moveset, enshrouded has the one handed moveset and the 2 handed moveset. Every one hander be it axe sword or mace us exactly the same with no unique moves outsude jump attacks, dodge atrack, and merciless arracks 3/10 combat.
@Mckillax yes I know it's ea, but how many games barely change during ea? Trust me I really hope they completely overhaul the combat and not in the same way Conan exiles did with janky repetitive chain combos. Tbh I'm not hopeful, the main hook should be the combat right off the bat. Like what did they spend their time on pasting the same 3 activities all over the map? 🤣🤣

actually, you can use the wand while you hold up your shield, so not taking damage, but also dealing it.. it's OP

Yes, and if you choose to go melee, you can't even hit the flying enemies... so melee seems to be the hardest build.

Getting laid out at 4:15 had me rolling! 😂 Perfect capture. Great video. Super helpful without taking away from the in game experience. Bravo!
You can lots of "twigs" from mining wolf dens. Just a little tip 😉
You can also plant them at your home base and they are cheap to farm.
You can do a roll charge/leap into combat as well. Start your roll about double the distance from your intended target, just as you are standing up hit the attack button and you will leap to your target.
Playing solo, to get your backstabs, roll foward past your target right before they attack
Only if you have the perk for that tho lol

Wyvern nests sometimes have other goodies.

I play old school rs everyday and i dont see it. At all

Stamina gate like valheim , always short on stamina when you block run or hit. Not for me.
That Rested buff is a game changer for that.
Can you sheathe weapons and put a shield on back in this game?
You basically always have your shield equipped and depending on the weapon you use it will either be out and available or won't if you are using a 2 handed weapon like the bow.
No that was too hard to code
@@fictitiousnightmares thats beyond pathetic. 2024 and there is no proper weapon/shield sheathe. Yeah, im not playing this ;-)
How viable is stealthy/assassin type stuff?
Magic wasnt for me. spells felt weak for the time and mana and limited use. the wand does more dps than the staff making it kinda useless
I want the combat to be harder imo
So magic is pretty much wands???
And staves which act similar to bows as you craft spell charges like you would arrows for a bow, with the exception of eternal spells which you only need one of and can use it over and over.
