I started 3 days ago and tried battle axe, fire staff and dual swords and I like dual swords atm. Ur vid is very nice and is very helpful as ppl should try to mix up their builds and weapons but should also try and focus on ones they like/good at so it can help them in the future,

Only few people would relate weaponry with relationships and actually make it understandable. Thanks for the great content! I kinda got burned out of Albion for a while and wanna go back in, but a lot has changed and I suffer from being unable to decide on what weapon to use. But I'll take your advice and just keep trying one tree till I start getting kills. Thanks a ton!

Someone told me once to treat the player as an NPC, it removes the anxiety of the fight and let's you focus

Ive been solo player in albion nearly two years, best weopens to rank as a solo for me, in hindsight should be 1 druidic staff 2 carving sword. You as solo should spec up carving sword to 100 with points while using druidic to fame farm, you will not regret it cause it will save you from gankers when gathering and transporting and also a strong pvp and zvz weapon. Your third and fourth weapon to spec will be shadowcaller and batlleaxe. Thats just my opinion after specing up to 100 in east 1st battleaxe, 2nddruidic, 3rd shadowcaller.

Love it *-*

That is a cool video mate. I am currently trying to decide between bows, crossbows or spears, as I like kiting builds. Could you comment a bit on how do you see your choice of playing spear? Which matchups do you like and which do you avoid picking? What's the largest IP difference which you would try to take on?

@VicZaneGaming

2 ай бұрын

Glad you liked the video! I am absolutely addicted to the spear and happy to have chosen it. The matchups that spear doesn't usually want to take unless there's a good IP advantage are builds that like to stand in one place and do a ton of damage (most crossbow builds, fire staffs). Curse staffs can also be really difficult. Everything else is fair game. Probably most pvp profit on the 1h spear in the mists will come from swords, daggers, axes and frost staffs. It will take a whole separate video to go deeper into all specific matchups.

@@VicZaneGaming i was surprised that you said that you get pvp profit from swords. I really struggle with swords, especially dual swords, as they have too many tools to close the gap.

Okay so i started out solo on the eu server with 1h cursed staff with interest in solo pvp with and without ratting in mind. I now am also interested in carving sword but my warlock level is 65 and spec in 1h cursed is 60. I am shying away from switching because of the lack of spec in lets say the carving sword. How much am i losing for switching now? Or dies it become easier to farm spec in diff weapons once i max my first weapon? I also want to play shadowcaller, man, too many interesting and fun choices :D

@VicZaneGaming

2 ай бұрын

There is no mechanic to make famefarming easier but carving sword itself is definitely much easier to fame up than 1h curse because you can kill mobs decently well. It should also become slightly easier because you get better at fighting mobs while keeping your surroundings in mind to survive other players. You don't lose anything from switching as you can always continue your warlock gaming. Only consideration is that while your spec is low, it's probably best to not do too much pvp as you will need more expensive items to reach same IP as other, higher spec players.

Yeaa i played dagger at first then started using spear , glove and sword all of them are kinda good for solo pvp

Thanks for this video. Definitely takes the fear out of my choices knowing that the meta ain’t as black and white as I thought. Armour wise tho I’ve heard heavy is pretty useless for pve, i tend to stick to medium as it has most of the skills i like. How would you go about mixing and matching depending on the weapon? If play styles are more slow you’d lean towards heavy?

@VicZaneGaming

12 күн бұрын

Glad to have made your choice less stressful!! If by heavy you mean plate armor then It's usually a good idea to completely stay away from it until you know what you are doing and why. It's almost impossible to go wrong with leather so that's a good place to start. You should absolutely mix and match and pick items primarily based on the spells that they give you. The only place with strict meta is if you are playing with an experienced group who need you to fulfil a very specific role in their team comp (for example in 5v5 hellgates).

@VicZaneGaming

Ай бұрын

Yeah absolutely. Some builds and weapons have simpler learning curves but generally it is very normal that it takes a lot of time to start killing in pvp. This is mostly because there are so many different weapons, builds, spells and interactions that it's impossible to understand and get used to all of them fast. I'm sure that when you are fighting an enemy who is using the build you already know well, you have a much much better winrate than against something unfamiliar.

At first i never understood whats the point of enchanted items, but now i see that they allow switching things up without loosing that much power.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Every enchantment level gives +100IP to an item but I have a feeling you are referring to something else when you say 'enchanted items'.

just do dual swords, mobile, high dps, good at pve and pvp, universal simple good, not best, but cheap and good

How to fight against dual swords on a one-handed pike, if the player hits W and E (and the average player almost never misses them and a newbie most likely won’t just join us in pvp), then the pike has no chance, kiting is also not an option since swords Q reduces the distance, and the charges give running speed, + jacket vampire and return helmet. It seems that dual swords are now some of the strongest in the early and mid game. Can you make a more detailed review against dual swords please.

in your videos the dual swords never start hitting you like a normal player with W+E

@VicZaneGaming

2 ай бұрын

Duals are pretty strong on low IP, you're right. But it's definitely possible to kite them with the 1h spear. Your Q has a good range advantage over their Q and you can cripple off their sword stacks (or boots) if you need to gain some space. In my experience you need to prepare for a longer fight and not try to win it too quickly against duals. If you are able to dodge their E one time, you have a decent advantage. Currently on EU I use assassin jacket's invis against their mercenary jacket heal and it helps a lot as well!

That's fairly relatable. I think it's very normal and most players have a bit of psychological barrier with pvp.

3:50 personally i would disagree with swords being beginner friendly, cause of many factors in the playstyle such as keeping stacks, knowing when to brawl and when to kite which requires game experience on cd management and knowing when and how to reset etc. The easiest being dual swords but even then these factors apply.

Good point actually. Playing swords can have a very high skill ceiling with the different options that you have in a fight. So far the newer players that I've seen start with a sword have done pretty well though. Maybe they have to worry less about specific matchups than many other weapons.

@LessFluff

Dual sword is pretty braindead tbh.

Mobility is hard to give up once you become accustomed.

The thing I find annoying is I really want to play shapeshifter, I've always been maining druid in wow and shapeshift-a-like in any other game, but in Albion a 4.0 prowling staff costs 30k more silver than a full bloodletter 4.0 set. So I feel forced to play other weapons because I dont have the economy to keep running a 150k+ build vs a 50k build. (I dont enjoy running yellow zones because it feels like getting cucked fame and silver wise compared to black zone where it sometimes feels like getting kicked in the dick when 8.3 players think they're cool and ganks a 4.0 player, but at least there's sometimes proper pvp and better silver & fame per h. So should I just stick with BL until I have enough economy to try other things?

@VicZaneGaming

Ай бұрын

If I were you, I'd prioritise being within my economic means. Even if you don't die, risking too much relative to overall bank value makes you perform worse in pvp. But making enough silver to buy about 20 tier 4.1 sets shouldn't be a big problem. However, I also can't imagine playing a build that doesn't feel fun. If you are not enjoying bloodletter that much, maybe there are other things to try that will be both cheap-ish and enjoyable playstyle - dual swords, 1h spear, 1h fire, wildfire, battleaxe - all can be decently cheap and get you valuable pvp even if you just go with 4.1 . There really isn't much you can do with 4.0 bloodletter in the mists other than capitalise on a very lucky ratting opportunity. And if you look at it long-term, learning any build by playing it is very valuable for pvp success later on. For example if you do decide to go full shapeshifter once you get a better economy, you'll have a much easier time fighting against weapons that you have experienced yourself!
