Great vid , ive been enjoying bb ig and vg too on delos. What do you think of the bb nerfs? Seems like the auto, azb and net shot. Not sure about what the other ones mean
There is not much of a nerf. They buffed the overall damage of BB so the PvE numbers will go high and that's why they *nerfed* it in order to keep same values for the PvP.
Hey mate, i personaly play with artefact featherweight and its make u rly tanky in arena. I think its a good solution too with many elemental and physic resistance and consistent damage. What do u think about that ? Hf man
Featherweight is nice artifact, but it's mostly used by healers as they play 2 attributes. With Fire Staff - Blunderbuss you gain from each portion of attributes and therefore Attuned Pants are the best artifact.
@@Lidiq- yeah for sure but i think just 350 int, 50 strong and 200 cons is rly powerfull in war if u play around the point or in a dex fight. But i go try your build and make my own test ;)
Good video my friend. Are people still going to use BB after it was nerfed further? Also, I see you are using tier 1 gems in your weapons. I have seen others do this, but why do this? Is the weapon stronger than putting a runeglass in if I use only tier 1 elemental gems in my weapons? Thank you bro.
BB was not nerfed! The damage was increased for PvE and therefore they reduced it to MATCH the PvP damage. Tier 2 gems are better on all INT scaling weapons if you have high enough INT. This was and still is the case, but will change in Season 4.
Great vid! I have 2 questions, does intelligence past 500 still give extra damage on FS e.g. 500 vs 560 intel? As you can go past 500 with food. My second question is in the attribute screen, whats adds towards the fire damage shown, as I have higher intel than you but lower damage shown in the attribute damage panel. Thanks
Not sure if you can pass 500 as this is the cap. Maybe you can do with food, but not sure if it will count the extra points. If you don't have T2 elemental gem on your weapon I believe that that's the reason for the lower base damage. T2 is better than Runeglass until Season 4 comes out.
Would it be worth to go "Shirking energy" perk on Attuned leather pants rather than health? Seems like a strong perk for PVP and can only get them on pants.
That was my original idea as well. However, I decided that for my playstyle I will go with health, due to the fact that mostly I suffer from range damage (bow, fs, musket, etc.) If you feel pressured by a lot of meles and you struggle with stamina, shirking energy is definitely a viable choice.
Great video thanks! What are your thoughts on freedom tp avoid chain cc? I thought perk choices now after shrinking gut would be #1 health, #2 ele aver, #3 freedom/refreshing.
@@Grafeeti2 Shirking energy and Freedom are good perks. However, if you rely on Freedom to save you, you most likely took the wrong place to fight, or you didn't dodge on time. There are not that many stuns in the game and same goes for roots. Slow can be countered by jumping and this is all that Freedom has effect on.
if you put last one in Pillar tree then the one of Fireball is surely better as it reduces cooldowns and still gives some mana back. Direct hits are very easy with Fireball.
@@JuanCruzGoity The passives for the Pillar are not reducing your cooldowns. The first one is extra damage and the second gives you mana back. :) However, if you feel you need both go for them.
You are actually lucky enough and on the right place :D Later this week I'm starting new series in which I will explain all the things that I know and use as a fire staff player. Of course, more than half of those things are the core of PvP in this game and they can be used with other weapons as well.
@@Lidiq- Thanks bro. I subscribed and will wait for your new series. There are so many hidden things, e.g. cancel animation, that not written in the game but only experience players know. Your new videos will provide loads of value to beginners like me.
Is Keenly Jagged still worth it to pair with Flame Attunement & Enchanted / Alacritous Punishment with Slash Damage Resistance now effecting Bleed? Or is it better to replace Keenly Jagged with Keen
I've never been fan of Keenly Jagged. It's not that good of a perk for Fire Staff. I even tried the *new* bleed build, but I cannot see the value from it. Best fire staffs after the patch that dropped today (plague update) : AOE - Keen, Plague Crits, VIcious or Alacritous Punishment. Single target - Attunement, Fireball, Enchanted or Alacritous Punishment.
@@Lidiq- cant understand how. Its give 30 extra point so u got +5% cd reduction from focus, 5% crit change from dex and 5% light atack smg from str and from tumbler u get 15% empower and 25% fortify and about 500hp after didving atack
@@nierka99 I will tell you how. When you have pants you get 40 + 50 (10 to all) points. Thats a total of 52 points more than Tumbler. On top of that you are splitting in all 5 attributes and using the 5 base points in each. If you run Tumbler you use 2 stats. With pants going into STR, FOC, INT you get 15 extra base points, so 52+15=77 points more. On another note, all passives taken from the 25 or 50 thresholds are stacking on top of your maximized potential (example 5% cooldown). This means that you get higher refreshing, crit and damage bonuses in trade of the empower and small amount of heal/fortify. Fortify in light is a joke, heal is not enough and empower has a lot of other sources where you can get it from. Sorry for the long and complicated comment. If it's not understandable I will completely understand xD If you want to hear and see the explanation, please join the live stream ;)
@@Lidiq- dont sorry, its very profesional answer and its what im looking for. I save matrixes and seals long time so just wanna be sure to invest in right gear
I have a question, if your objective as a mage is to kill healers and it is a single target, what attributes should I use? Since antiheal is for healers and single target is also for healers. I do not know if u understant what i mean
Anti-heal can be applied to single but also to AOE clumps. It depends what you would like to play with it, but in general you can do both. The main requirements are Pestilence on offhand and Plague Crits on main hand.
Most likely the build will remain the same. The only changes that I expect will be on the gems of the weapons. However, if there is something drastic, I will make a short update on it.
why does it take me so long to spam my abilities. It feels like i click but i have to do it a second time for the game to activate the ability for u it looks much faster?
It could be the way you cast the abilities. I use the button for the spell and the LMB (left mouse button) to activate it. Abilities like Pillar or Storm requires 2 clicks to execute them.
If use the Blunderbuss for damage purposes I use T2 fire gem on it. However, since I already places plague grenades on mine, I use it to apply mass anti-heal to everyone in the clump fights.
xD I mean, I play 150 normally, but if I'm the pumper I don't mind the 100 as well. The only challenge is to find the sweet empty spot from which I can statpad.

Very good build video. Keep them like that, tree, stats, gear all in one single video. Much better than splitting them in several videos.

What screen resulotion You playing ?
1920x1080 everything on Low
What about heavy 300 int 300 con bb/fs for point fight?? Flamer focus build, bb just as u said for debuf??
Flamethrower will be a thing in next season. I will make a video about the reasons next week. In this season the thrower build is not that good.

Not sure if it's bugged or not. Last time I was testing it I didn't notice a bug. Maybe I should check again. :)
I'm a beginner to this game. Could you please teach more about combos and more nice tricks like fast reload for this build?

I've answered you in Discord, but for the people who also wonder - nwdb.info/db/item/2hstafffire_firecrystalspellstafft5_v2

T2 elemental gems give higher damage than any other gem for INT scaling weapons. This will be changed in Season 4, but until then T2 is king :)
