Finally a video showing WHY some weapons are better fit for certain content. As a new player, I much appreciate the time you took to put this together.
@@aminthegreat1646if you want to have all updates described and introduce I would recommend to watch Mogdone. He got YT channel and streams almost every day. He's always up to date with all changes
To save some people some time, right now the best solo PvP weapons are: deathgivers, carving sword, 1h dagger, dual swords, battleaxe, 1h spear, arcane staff more or less in that order. These weapons have both damage and some mobility but all have a different playstyle
@victorxu2478 I knew I was forgetting something, spear is a very high skill ceiling weapon tho for its versatility on W, very many options depending on who you're expecting to fight
@Vollin because big mobility that also does big burst damage, most people solo run either infernal shield bc you can stick to people really well and it makes it hard for them to fight back or hellion jacket. Bloodlust is kind of a crutch for most people who don't know when to dash through and make distance and manage cooldowns, bloodlust also usually just gets purged in most solo content. A well timed infernal shield can turn any fight just like hunter hood, but it's an even longer lasting threat
3:24 in 2024, we have the astral staff, It releases a rain of stars that does nasty damage, and used in mostly ZvZ but can be used in other content if you know what yer doin
As an experienced player, can't ignore the fact, that you have not mentioned many contents where some weapons are good (ratting not mentioned, ganking not mentioned in many cases, group PvE not mentioned in many cases), but those that are mentioned in the video are precise.
Thank you so much, now I know what weapons I can use. I'm getting tired of being a healer (Blight Staff). I loved Boltcasters, till they buffed it :( In Fact it's my second maxed out weapon. I am also very good with Greataxe and Infernal Staff.
Good video. Thanks. The only thing I would have liked is some kind of simple ranking of the weapons, such as Great, Decent, Bad. Without this info, a newbie will be hard pushed to find a strong weapon since many of the weapons in the game are rarely used (and usually for good reason).
I don't think there really ought to be a ranking system, they're based on niches. It's better to know what kind of content you wanna do, then pick your choice weapon for that content. That being said, even weapons meant for solo can still be useful in zvz, and vice versa, with the right tactics and rules of engagement. Just pick the weapon that calls to you, know its limitations, then carve out your niche that way.
That also being said, it's not like you're locked into a weapon once you main it a few times. You can always switch it up if you don't feel it, if you're bored, if you wanna do other content, etc. Albion isn't class-restricted, you can technically max ALL the weapons if you've got the moxy for it.
So I’m a new player and I’ve been using the whispering bow for pve soo time to swap to normal bow thank you for this video!! Also would you use longbow or normal bow for solo static dungeons??
Your question is a little odd to most people, so I'll break down both JIC: You mean the green statics in blue zones meant for 1-2 people: Longbow probably better since you can grab a bunch of mobs and one-shot them (the TRUE one shot doesnt come till the last W though since they moved explosive arrows down there) You mean the blue statics meant for groups of 4+: Neither. Bows are not viable as a solo static. The only weapons you could conceivably do that with are great nature, druidic, battle axe, and shadowcaller, but the last 3 have had nerfs so its REALLY hard now. If youre a new player, I would honestly find a t5 zone with some open world mobs and kill those, or do some solo dungeons
ngl, been getting pestered to play albion online for a while now by ads, only problem being is that from what it looks like mine might not be able to take it. or at the very least just barely able to.
And the vast majority of them suck for PVP as well. Only a handful of weapons are viable in PVP. It's the big problem with Albion and it's "you are what you wear" system. There's a ton of cool and different armors and weapons out there, but only a select few are viable at any given time. Balancing is terrible. I used a claymore for months, got it to tier 8, level 120, had tons of fun and loved my character. Then they completely nerfed it out of existence and it has a 5% winrate in Corrupted Dungeons now, it's useless for pretty much everything. Crap like that is why I just stick to gathering these days.
I've been playing albion for 3 days and now I have a cursed staff T5.1 build set, but is cursed staff still good for now? Or are there other good weapon recommendations for PvP and PVE
Hello. I wanted to ask, what do you mean or what do you consider as "small/mid/large scale PvP"? I guess ZvZ is large, but where should I put Faction Warfare for example?
I learned quite a bit but I saw something about a necro stuff or something like that in another video I was hoping to see more about that since I can't find that video now it was by chance and I had to run before I can watch it
Great video. Is there any ranged weapon that is good for cursed dungeons that is around t4? I have been playing around with a couple but I haven't found one that I really like.
Imagain if you could use a one handed staff in the off hand and a one handed weapon at the main if they would let that be a thing for maximum utility of dps that would be cool but most likely throw the game off balance for a short time from how over powered it would be along with the gear set that people would make to make said build more op. Still would be a cool concept to duel weild what ever you wanted tho.
No rompería "un poco" el balance fíjate las estadísticas de las armas secundarias que están en el juego ahora osea sería el equivalente a dejarte reemplazar una pieza de armadura por un arma 100 funcional con sus abilidades propias solo que las armaduras son más útiles que un arma secundaria
Finally a video showing WHY some weapons are better fit for certain content. As a new player, I much appreciate the time you took to put this together.
Great video! Especially for beginners. This is slightly out of date though, The great arcane got nerfed. It doesn’t protect teammates anymore.
Normal bow is a lot more mediocre as a pve weapon as well
@@chrissirensong6816 Fire arrows, you will be missed T_T
Excuse me, sorry for asking. I'm just another newbie. Btw, where did you watch this update about items though?. I can't find it.
@Amin The Great Reading patch notes are the best way to hear right from SBI and stay up to date.
The arcane changes were the Feb 13th patch.

With the new buff and changes, the quarterstaff is now pretty good for smallscale especially with the knockups
Which armour types goes best with quarterstaff solo and small scale PVP?
Recent videos have been so helpful to the new recruits to the game. Thank you so much.
i love this video style! incredibly helpful. your ranking video months ago was fantastic too. looking forward to more
This needs a update now that we in 2024
you should actually do a video about what each weapon says about the player using it
To save some people some time, right now the best solo PvP weapons are: deathgivers, carving sword, 1h dagger, dual swords, battleaxe, 1h spear, arcane staff more or less in that order.
These weapons have both damage and some mobility but all have a different playstyle
Pretty accurate, altough I don't see as much use with 1h spear. 1h dagger is strong though! Myself, I use battleaxe, which I feel is pretty strong :)
@victorxu2478 I knew I was forgetting something, spear is a very high skill ceiling weapon tho for its versatility on W, very many options depending on who you're expecting to fight
@@Str8UpFax Why carving? Bcs root at W and Dash at E? Without bloodlust is weak

Bloodlust is kind of a crutch for most people who don't know when to dash through and make distance and manage cooldowns, bloodlust also usually just gets purged in most solo content.

Weird question, but what's the name of the track you have going in the background?
Also, thank you for the helpful video!
I really needed this video, thank you
thank you for servicing my laziness. Now i can just test the ones i find cool looking.
So, how can I tell which weapon types are meta and which are niche picks?
Thank you so much, now I know what weapons I can use. I'm getting tired of being a healer (Blight Staff). I loved Boltcasters, till they buffed it :( In Fact it's my second maxed out weapon. I am also very good with Greataxe and Infernal Staff.
Awesome video man I needed this thank you
Thanks for this video. Helps a noob like me
Thank u for all this useful information
I’d agree that the Whispering Bow is useful at harassing those mounted guys waiting for a chance to get stray healers in large scale PvP.

Omg! Super video! Where have you been all my life?!!! :-D
Wow I learned I was using the brimstone staff wrong thank you lol
Just the video that I need. Thanks!
this was really helpful! I LEARNED A LOT!
So I’m a new player and I’ve been using the whispering bow for pve soo time to swap to normal bow thank you for this video!! Also would you use longbow or normal bow for solo static dungeons??
dont use longbiw for solo, in fact, basically only druidic or great nature for solo static, if u want u can use shadowcaller or battleaxe
Your question is a little odd to most people, so I'll break down both JIC:
You mean the green statics in blue zones meant for 1-2 people: Longbow probably better since you can grab a bunch of mobs and one-shot them (the TRUE one shot doesnt come till the last W though since they moved explosive arrows down there)

@@gavinmorton7682 sorry for the awkward question! And thank you I’ll look into the long bow! I’m currently using the b.o.b to try it out!
@@gavinmorton7682 also I mean the castles where you can go in the dungeons and fight bosses there is one in falsestep marsh all the way west
Thanks for the video, very helpful. But do you think frost mage is good?
Great to see you posting more often ❤
ngl, been getting pestered to play albion online for a while now by ads, only problem being is that from what it looks like mine might not be able to take it. or at the very least just barely able to.
Much needed. Thank you for the in depth video!
Thank you for this great content.
Can u please do a match up video i would like to know which match ups are bad or very hard to beat at the same ilevel for spears
Great video thanks so much
are the bearpaws and 1H curse still meta, thinking about specing into those 2
Greater Arcane does not work anymore at allies
So my take away from this video as new player is, there is 5 weapons good for pve rest is for pvp :s
Albion is pvp focused so yeah
And the vast majority of them suck for PVP as well. Only a handful of weapons are viable in PVP. It's the big problem with Albion and it's "you are what you wear" system. There's a ton of cool and different armors and weapons out there, but only a select few are viable at any given time. Balancing is terrible.

I'm a new player and i dont know which weapon should i spec up first
I've been playing albion for 3 days and now I have a cursed staff T5.1 build set, but is cursed staff still good for now? Or are there other good weapon recommendations for PvP and PVE
life curse is also used in solo ganking!
Best weapon tree for solo PvE, bow, or maybe nature??
Nature by far
@@nicolasdelisle494 could u explain why?
is video is very much sum up the entire game what people should use for what purpose. I love it.
Hello. I wanted to ask, what do you mean or what do you consider as "small/mid/large scale PvP"? I guess ZvZ is large, but where should I put Faction Warfare for example?
small scale about 5 players, mid 7-20, large 20+
Best video for beginners so far
Solo pbp could be considered as solo pve vhoise also ?
What do you suggest for a new player? I played quarterstaff in beta
I learned quite a bit but I saw something about a necro stuff or something like that in another video I was hoping to see more about that since I can't find that video now it was by chance and I had to run before I can watch it
can you do this for every amour type too
What does it mean when he said "Fame Farming?" like a PVE static fame farming or Open world fame farming? can someone fill me in😢
killing mobs for combat fame to level up your weapons/armors
Tips for best Jack of all trades for soloer? Going with dual swords rn
Cursed skull is not solo. It is best the more people there is.
What is that background music, that stuff made me sleepy.
For me One of the best dagger for group pve and group pvp is demonfang❤
Im new to albion and would just like to ask, do you need to use a tier 5 weapon to get it to 6 or can you use tier 4
You don't need to use t5. Any of that item even t4 will work
8.3 Can Deatgivers t5 group dungeons return?
Where is prowling staff.
. I was waiting for it.
. :(
Between dual swords and carving sword which is better for solo pve and pvp?
Claymore
I thought dual sword are better for pvp
@@VulkanJB not good anymore.
Go with any but carving is meta rn and dual sword is very good too
Thank you!
Bro any tips & weapon choice for a solo player focused in PvE?
Great video. Is there any ranged weapon that is good for cursed dungeons that is around t4? I have been playing around with a couple but I haven't found one that I really like.
cursed staffs like cursed skull are very good for corrupted dungeons
yo i just got my cursed staff to level 60 which variant is the best for pve
Dual swords are great for FF imh
I should have seen this video earlier
Broooo, thanksss 🎉
great video
can you also try every armors as well
ye
Nice one
My dual swords sure as hell don't knock up enemies.
Coz it been nerfed but still is very strong, just not as broken as it used to be
Thanks, Just Thanks 🙂
So what sword and dagger weapon is the best "PvE" weapon?
Great arcane doesn't freeze allies anymore... You post this while it hasn't been a thing for weeks...
Imagain if you could use a one handed staff in the off hand and a one handed weapon at the main if they would let that be a thing for maximum utility of dps that would be cool but most likely throw the game off balance for a short time from how over powered it would be along with the gear set that people would make to make said build more op.

For armor?

wheres the off hand weapons ?
Is this info still Effective for today?
Love wideo
I hate the big skill tree/ability web thing this game has. It just makes my head hurt; I don’t know, my eyes have trouble following the lines
This ENTIRE video could have been replaced with a recording that says "This weapon is used for mid-scale PVP," on repeat for every weapon in Albion.
You probably won't see this comment but I hope you make a video about the best weapons for pve
Every weapon is good for PvE, they made it so you can kill mobs with any build, it all comes down to ur skills 😊
Cheapest weapons and great for pve:Any one handed druid staff and battle axe
Yeeeeey
Outdated.
