LOST ARK - What does the (Predator) Slayer warrior class do?

This is not a guide! This is a general overview of what exactly the Slayer is, what she excels at, and some of the nuances about the class that separate her from her male counterpart Berserker. This also covers the Swiftness build specifically!

    I'm gonna pin this because it's an important fact that I forgot to mention in the video. No matter what build of Slayer you decide to play, whether Predator or Executioner, drink a Stimulant before any pull of any boss, unless you want to spend the time to build the meter on the opener (both are relatively fast to build from 0 identity, but it's still annoying).

    as the mass increase vs cd argument if with cd you are at 140% atk speed and if with Mass increase you are at 135% atk speed then mass increase is 18-3.7% or 14.3% more damage CD on the other hand is mitigated slightly by atk power buffs so it's not pure 16% either i think a lot more people are going to be accepting of the lower dps higher numbers with Mass Increase than the trixion min max potential
