EVERY Item EXPLAINED for SOLO Players - Albion Online

I'm going to explain every single item in Albion  online at least all of the equipment you can wear   and this is aimed towards solo guildless players  now I've made something similar in the past a   couple years ago where I explained every single  item it's called the primary use of every item in   Albion online of course there's been a few patches  and a few changes now I did explain this for zvzs   and people and guilds but this specific video is  primarily for solo players and the reason why is   because I'm a solo player I've given up all hope  to find a guild that's uh you know would take me   in and treat me right they just don't exist in  this game or any game it could be a me problem   but anyway the point is is that 80 of the player  base are just like me so I'm making this video for   the majority of players not the tiny minority that  join guilds with that said this is how the video   is going to work we're going to start at the top  of the Destiny Board here we're going to scroll   all the way up and we're going to start at the  Tome fighting items here so I know people don't   want to watch an entire video about items they  don't care about so for example let's say that   you want to know about uh plate boots for some  reason well plate boots will be the last thing   we cover because we're going to start at the top  and we're going to go towards the left and cover   all of these items and how you would use them as  a solo player if they're worth using so if you   want to skip around just scroll the video to the  item that you want to learn about that's fine it   only hurts my my earnings and my YouTube channel  but you'll get the information you want so let's   get started this is all one take completely  unedited let's begin here we are beginning   with the Tome fighter and we're starting with the  Tome of spells this is an offhand item that will   increase or I'm sorry decrease your cash time and  give you a little bit more energy this is one of   the cheaper off hands in the game you're going  to primarily use this if you're throwing away a   set in the black zone or the red zone or if you  are a spellcaster build this is your go-to item   the tone of spells most people will be using this  feel free to upgrade it uh it's pretty dang good   the eye of Secrets is an absolutely worthless  item for us solo players maybe if your low level   low spec it might have a little bit of use but  there are far better items to use to regenerate   your energy and give you more energy this is not  efficient there are better offhands do not ever   use this don't bother ever even keeping one the  moyzak if that's how you pronounce it which that's   how I've heard everyone else pronounce it is the  second best damaged steroid offhand in the game   it increases your auto attack damage and your  spells and abilities and now what it does also   it makes those spells cost more energy but it's  not bad it is overshadowed by the [ __ ] candle   in damage but the [ __ ] candle does not increase  your auto attack so for certain builds that rely   on auto attacks this is your best in slot offhand  the moisac the Taproot increases your health and   um a little bit of regeneration but no one cares  about that this is really useful at in-game if   you are ganking yellow zones and combine it with  a uh beef sandwich to get even more HP out of it   this thing can dramatically boost your health but  it's an expensive item that you don't see people   use most often the celestial sensor as a solo  player you won't be using this this is purely   for dedicated PVE healers they just need to heal  more damage so you won't be using this as a solo   player there are better offhands for you next up  is the most powerful and the best weapon tree in   the entire game the Warlock tree this is what  I recommend all new players start with and this   is this weapon tree is the most versatile it  is the current meta for solo player PVP that   is 1v1 PVP missed PVP corrupted dungeon PVP it is  insanely useful for clearing dungeons though it's   not the fastest at Dungeons and I'll explain why  once we get to crossbows but it is the fastest   for soloing group dungeons it is the fastest for  soloing static group dungeons this is the weapon   tray that you want to completely max out and  this is my soul Benji character which is not   even my main character I just use this character  for videos and even I have everything at level   100 on this character that's how useful it  is so let's get started with the curse staff   this is one of the cheapest weapons in the  game and allows you to kill highly geared   players due to its execution style spell you  stack up your four curses you hit him with the   death curse they take tremendous damage they  take damage over time you have an armor shred   it's super super good stuff and you have AO AOE  attacks you have a root you have an auto attack   steroid this this weapon line is just beefy  the great curse staff is more so for faction   Warfare it doesn't really have much use to a solo  player because there's just simply better weapons but this weapon in general can quickly apply for  Stacks it can be useful in corrupted dungeons   though I'm not very good at it personally the  Demonic staff used to be the meta weapon for uh   corrupted Dungeons and or The Mists however it  was heavily nerfed when you cast this English   Soul it eats all of your charges in a future patch  probably by the time you see this it might be out   it will only eat two charges it's still kind of  a an iffy weapon I don't know it might regain its   status probably not the life curse staff if they  ever fix skinning bugs is the best skidding weapon   in the entire game it allows you to reach enemies  from far away reduce how much damage they take   and this in feeble blades is used by certain  gatherers to absolutely dominate black Zone   gathering this removes uh and purges Buffs so if  they go invisible and you manage to hit them with   the spell then they lose their invisibility  it's a fun Weapon It's a powerful weapon and   it's pretty darn cheap the cursed skull is a meta  weapon in corrupted dungeons I'm no good at using   this thing but I get my butt kicked by this all  the time it produces a large circle on the ground   and it hurts heavily it's you know it's easy to  hit enemies with most of the time if you're good I   guess the only garbage weapon for solo players is  the damnation staff which is a very large radius   with a large cast time but it deals barely any  damage this is only used to lower enemies damage   resistances there are way better ways uh like this  spell the armor piercer to lower damage resistance   and deal more damage it's like this is ridiculous  that like this e spell is weaker than your w spell   uh it's just this is just a trash weapon you  won't be using this as a solo player at all and   finally the shadow collar the number one weapon  in clearing group dungeons quickly and clearing uh   solo not solo dungeons but soloing static areas is  this weapon right here this weapon when combined   with a leather jacket will heal you for all the  damage you deal in an AOE circle around you this   thing is nutty it's a one-handed avalonian weapon  meaning it has the highest possible item power and   can be Juiced up by an offhand there's not many of  those in the game this is also the most expensive   weapon in the entire game so you need to get this  at some point Point level it up and you will make   everything else easier to do moving on we have  the frost Mage Frost Mages aren't really that   prevalent for solo players but they do have their  own place they're not the fastest at clearing uh   corrupted dungeons they're not really good  at clearing dungeons at all despite what a   few YouTubers who have long quit the game have  said a couple years ago these are trash weapons   for clearing dungeons uh they've been heavily  nerfed over time and they're more of a hit and   run weapon especially the frost staff which can  be used in faction Warfare to tag lots of enemies   and Escape unharmed you can also use this to root  a player and then chain them with an armor which   I'll talk about later and secure a couple kills  in like say Red Zone faction PVP stuff like that   but otherwise the frost staff is  not that good for solo players   the great Frost staff also not that good it's a  little bit better if you want to farm mobs like   open world Mobs with this it's not terrible but  it's there's better weapons they're the front   these Frost stabs are not that good again for  solo players glacial staff is kind of a meme for   solo players you can dump an ice storm on a like  say a lootable chest that's about to open where   everyone's PVP flagged you can dump one of these  on a faction Outpost and maybe hit a few people   but I have seen people maximum spec 8.4 use this  thing and it barely tickles me also an 8.4 so in   an evenly geared fight this is just a garbage  weapon it's mostly used by guilds to slow down   like people from running away this a staff which I  don't want to say because it's a naughty word and   YouTube does not like naughty words uh it's just  a crappier version of a fire staff spell not that   good it really doesn't have much of a use the  stun is not worth using the icicle staff it's   just a big slow it barely deals damage again this  is for guilds it's not for us so little players   however the permafrost prism out of all the frost  stabs this one has some solo usage the Ice Crystal   spell here used to be the best in the game at solo  ganking transports so you would brutally transport   with this you will stun them freeze them whatever  it's a stun I guess and then you would just dump   as many ice shards on them as possible and when  8.4 items came out this item didn't scale as   well as Bear Paws putting it in second place for  killing transports it's still really good you can   see here on my soul Benji character I actually  have permafrost prism at level 100 so it is very   useful in that regard but it's just outclassed  by bear paws the chill Hal is a meta weapon for   corrupted dungeons it's also really good for hit  and run PVP in the mists with its glacial prison   you can basically teleport it someone casts this  they won't be able to fight back once this breaks   you can hit them with a frostbite or a frozen  Surge and then just Zone them out it's a very   it's one of the most most powerful zoning weapons  in the game besides the Arcane staffs which is   next the Arcane staffs they're decent they've  been buffed they're still not the best but you   have the regular Arcane staff which just has a  damage yes this purchase Buffs on enemies there's   better ways to do that with like say the life  curse staff this uh just gives you a little bit   more mobility and corrupted dungeons it's okay  for soloing solo dungeons at higher tiers it's   actually very fast uh when you have a double mimic  here or I'm sorry magic shock and then you mimic   yourself for magic shock it's it's on par with  crossbows it's not better than crossbows but it's   it's close enough the great Arcane staff is the  time freeze you can't control your team anymore   with this uh it's also it'll piss off people that  are do organized PVP if you tag along with them   in say a faction fight so a great troll Weapon  cast this on the enemy and uh someone's gonna   be screaming in a Discord somewhere an enigmatic  staff this pops a shield on a bunch of people this   is actually really useful in faction Warfare  but the problem with being a solo player is   that even if you cast this on a group of people  it doesn't give you credit for their kills like   healing them would so there's no reason for you to  ever actually use this unless you don't care about   earning points bewitch work staff is actually  really good if you're in a party but this is a   video for solo players this will drag all the  enemies and Clump them together which is great   for bombing faction enemy fights it's also great  for soloing static zones very quickly but uh as   a solo player you don't have much use for this  the occult staff gives you a little time quarter   you can move fast this doesn't have much use for  solo players you don't really have it and need to   chase enemies with these subpar spells pretty  useless item for solo players this one creates   a bubble which increases armor damage resistance  again if you cast this in a faction fight you're   being helpful you're being you know a good little  Ouija but you're not earning the shared amount of   points as if you just healed them so there's  no reason to ever use this the even song is   uh it reduces healing received and it also reduces  damage dealt by enemies it does low damage there's   no reason for a solo player to really use this for  anything it's just for like action fights I guess   but there's better weapons to tag enemies with  so you can earn more points next up is the priest   weapon line which is decent for solo players it  it's slow starting this thing hits so it's so   weak if you don't have spec or higher Tier gear it  sucks for Mob farming but if you level it up you   can become pretty much unkillable in a 1v1 for the  most part especially with this life touch staff   you can't be like hold on let me show you let me  find it here uh yeah so if you have holy blessing   up you can't be moved and then if you have your  e-spell you can't be uh crowd controlled uh you   you're channeling basically you can do this while  stunned or silenced so you can always be healing   yourself and you can't be interrupted it's it's  nutty for solo play but other than that um there   I mean you know a group of people can still take  you down but 1v1 this is probably the weapon to go   uh besides the nature stabs if you don't want to  ever die but other than that you just have Smite   for farming mobs which again it gets strong when  you have tier 8.4 and maximum spec it's pretty   good not as good as cross suppose or the Arcane  staff but it's still decent enough that you can   you can solo group dungeons with it you can solo  static Mobs with it it's just slower there's it's   it's just inferior to other weapons but um you  can also just Spam heals in faction fights and   get a lot of points so that's why you would want  to go holy staffs anyway the regular holy stuff   is just a quick one single Target heal it's decent  the great holy staff knocks enemies back and heals   a little bit so this is good for tagging enemies  and allies in faction fights the Divine staff uh   is a shield and for whatever reason the shields  don't give you points I'm not sure why but this   does heal players so you can start getting faction  points without the life Dutch staff I've covered   earlier but this is a channeled heel where you  can do while stunned and silenced again it's   just a single Target the Fallen staff is the go-to  for like say Arenas and faction fights it is slow   going so a lot of times if you're not good at this  weapon targets will die before you get your heal   off the Redemption and staff it just it's a little  orb that jumps around it's it's nice it's you fire   and forget it it's not bad but it's out like the  fall and stuff is what you want to go if you want   to tag players the hollow fall is a corrupted  dungeon meta weapon which you can use to kill   players with it's probably the corrupted dungeon  weapon that you'd want to use it knocks enemies in   the air which you can interrupt them from healing  themselves uh so if you wanted to go with healing   staff and corrupted dungeons build the Halo  fall it is expensive it's also a one-handed   avalonian weapon which is the same as her Shadow  collar but the shadow collar is Simply Better uh   pyromancer the fire staff tree is decent it's not  the best but for solo players you can make it at   work you can make it happen the fire staff has a  pyroblast ability and in a future patch this is   not aimable this is Target you target the enemy  and then it will cast at them if something's in   front it'll block it this has a use as when  Gathering if you need to steal a 4.3 spawn   this is one of the better weapons to use though  the spike gauntlets are the best this is the   second best it's also useful to use firewall  to push enemies away as you skin other enemies   or gather it's it's pretty useful uh fire staffs  in general are decently useful for tagging lots   of players you can also attack from very far away  with the artillery fire artillery spell so that's   really nice especially if the target is using  boots and running away you can just spew fire all   over the battlefield tagging lots of enemies and  you get those faction points the great fire staff   flame pillar it's okay but it's overshadowed  by the crossbow abilities The Infernal staff   it's getting reworked once again for the new  patch but it's I see it's still garbage this   thing actually used to be insanely ridiculously  annoying to deal with what would happen is one   player would get caught on fire and they would  run through a crowd of of your of your friends   and it would just kill everybody and they've  nerfed it long since it's kind of a dead weapon   the Wildfire staff is a meta 1v1 PVP weapon in  the Mists and a 1v1 weapon in corrupted dungeons this thing has a long range it's way better  than the frost staff version of the you know   rolling a boulder at the enemy it deals lots of  damage lots of maximum health is true damage it's   um this is the weapon you would use to whittle  someone down in a corrupted dungeon it's super   annoying to fight uh in like faction PVP it's  not really you don't really notice that much but   in 1v1s it's super tough the brimstone staff is  the the meme where you drop a meteor on a clump   of players killing them all this thing is going to  make a huge comeback with the Morgana Cape changes   coming up in the next patch I've even made a video  for members only explaining how to best utilize   this specific weapon and my members have bought  out all the 8.4 items on the market so the this   is gonna be hard to get your hands on but as a  solo player I'm I'm actually considering leveling   this up uh I'm still on the fence though I want to  see what the new weapon line that comes out is uh   so I'll have to update this video with that weapon  line but until then we have the Blazing staff this   thing in weapon testing with maximum spec 8.4  this thing is really good at sniping open world   bosses uh whenever uh there's certain like events  like the anniversary events or holiday events   sometimes there's these big statue bosses that  roam the open worlds this weapon just slays them   it is insane it is really high damage but in PvP  people just walk out of it and as a solo player   you don't have much use other than farming open  world jobs the Dawn song you can tag enemies with   this pretty easy in faction fights but other than  that it's pretty useless for basically everything   else a solo player would do now we have the cloth  helmet line out of the cloth helmet Line This is   one thing that you would definitely want to Max as  it greatly benefits from increasing the item power   you can see here on my soul Benji character every  single sloth helmet is maxed out and let me tell   you why because you're going most players will  start with a scholar cow this increases your armor   resistance and it gives you energy regeneration  when you take damage this is a Mana batter you   cast this you get full Mana it's really really  good it doesn't really scale when you level it   but it scales other helmets which I'll talk about  here in a bit the cleric cowl is the most hated   item for organized guilds and faction pvps and  discords they they hate if they see you wear this   they hate you for it and that's why it's really  really good because the ice walkability makes   you basically immune to all damage and effects  and everything and you can just set in an ice   cube and chill while everyone around you dies and  then you can Loot and Scoot it's super annoying   to fight against people sometimes use this just  to get extra cool down time for their abilities   while taking zero damage the Mage cow was recently  changed it used to be a poison ability now it's a   fire breath ability which for us solo players that  is better the fire breath is a buff to us because   it changes our attack into an area of effect  attack dealing around the same amount of damage   the Royal Cal is used to reduce your energy  cost to zero this is mainly useful for frost   Mages spamming spells with cooldown reduction  and uh faster casting speed it doesn't really   have much other use healers might use it but  healers often would use a druid cow because this   drops a circle on the ground that restores your  energy for everyone that stands on it you cannot   tag allies with this sadly you have to heal them  to be considered tagging them for faction point   the feed cow just purges enemies of Buffs and this  is mostly used to turn someone's boots off when   they're running away from you uh that's really all  it is it just turns off their boots you can use it   if they cast like a stalker jacket to turn their  healing off the cultist cow does a huge amount   of damage to a single Target for PVE in PvP if  someone has an auto attack build or a faster   cast build and they start attacking you with this  on them they will basically die it's super useful   against like dual swords bows and Whispering bow  but other than that it's if a player just doesn't   attack you when you cast this on them it buys you  some time that's all it really does the face scale   hat makes your Channel's own interruptible so this  is used for bombing faction outposts uh you know   whenever you have a channeled spell like Siege  crossbow or Longbow pretty useful but other than   that it's kind of a meme not much useful elsewhere  the Calla Purity shoots a laser beam that deals   damage interrupts spell casting it's a better Mage  cow but it's so much more expensive for instance   a regular Mage Cal is 800 silver this thing  is 30 000 at tier eight yeah tier eight sixty   four thousand versus 826 000. it it's just a it's  just a price if you're Gucci if you want the color   Purity it will give you a bit more max health  and stuff and energy because it is an avalonian   item whereas the magecal is a standard item but  other than that let's talk about the cloth robes starting off with the scholar Road this  halves your casting time pretty useful   but the new Morgana Cape changes are going  to put this thing on a lower tier this is   in the tier list but essentially The  Scholar robe is going to kind of you   know take a break for a while set on the  bench when the new organic Cape comes out   Clark robe insanely useful uh this is one of  the chess pieces you might want to max out the   Everlasting spirit will give you just enough time  and a damage increase to finish off an opponent in   1v1 combat it's also used to dodge uh executions  and other attacks that would otherwise kill you   super handy super useful Mage robe it's uh it  purges anyone that hits you while it's active it   gives you a little bit of extra damage resistance  use this to turn off someone's uh Hellion jacket   basically I think I called stalker jacket earlier  but you could turn those off too I think I'm not   really sure I don't really use major robe much  because well I don't like counter play I like   to just kill opponents uh the Royal robe is a  damaged steroid for only spell casting healers   might use this solo players don't really end up  using this for anything because the Druid robe is   a damaged steroid for everything damage healing  spells physical attacks this thing is in is the   go-to weapon if you are soloing open World mobs  if you are soloing dungeon mobs now if you could   one shot open world mobs without this buff then  obviously you can just wear uh you know something   with a higher base bonus like this has a base  physical attack bonus magic of 40 right but if   you get to these higher like tier ones like like  the coldest robe has 50 face scale 50 and you know   Robo Purity 50 of course a mage robe is also a  50 you know in damage handling so you do get more   base damage from it but with the active ability  that gives you six percent damage up to six times   that is 36 additional damage making it far better  than the cultist robe you should like for solo   content you don't need to ever heal yourself  in PvP absolutely but in for dungeons for open   world mobs this is a useless ability if you're  fighting a a spiky boss mob in the open world   this will suit you far far better it's also better  for Dungeon running there's no reason to use Drew   there's no reason to use cult's robe unless you're  PVP with that said we have the fiend robe this is   for fearing enemies this is for ganking groups  I haven't really seen this used anywhere else   I don't really know if you can interrupt like Mobs  with it I've never bothered to try but it's pretty   useless for solo players it's called this robe uh  this increases your damage resistance it's useful   for corrupted Dungeons and open world PVP but  people will just knock you out of it the face   scale robe is fairly new but it has a very nice  spell called Frozen fragments makes five little   icy spikes that whenever you attack an enemy  they also attack this thing is a it's actually   very powerful for like like nuking down a Target  quickly with an auto attack build it's pretty damn   good when you have it fully leveled up I've done  a lot of testing on the test realm and it it's it   gets pretty nutty the uh most annoying armor in  the entire game is the robe of Purity this thing   just gives you a bubble that when you touch  someone it bumps them really far away um also   you can't be Force moved you can't be knocked  back you can't be knocked up or around when   it's active this thing is just really annoying  you can run through a crowd of enemy players and   knock them all to the side it's uh it's pretty  funny let's talk about cloth sandals for a bit plot sandals uh scholar sandals gives you uh  it gives you energy it also makes you immune to   stuns roots and slows this used to be meta for  corrupted dungeons not So Much Anymore as the   um all boot all cloth boots get energetic  Sprint which is usually better for in most cases   cleric sandals lets you teleport and you can if  you teleport just right you can immune any damage   uh during that time it's really hard to time  though made sandals are a delayed teleport this   is useful for Gallatin pair nuke peoples that  want to cast skeleton pair and then teleport   into a blob as the first solo player unless you're  faction bombing it's pretty useless for us Royal   sandals this is one of the best go-to boots in the  entire game for solo players because it's a very   fast move speed on par with non-galloping players  uh meaning if someone's mounted and they're not   in a Gallop you can catch up to them most of the  time not always it does lower your defense so it   makes you a little bit squishy but it increases  your damage by 15 for a decent amount of time   making it one of the better damage steroid boots  in the game it's great for Chase uh it's great for   running away it's not the best for running away  but it's still pretty darn good Druid sandals is   really good for tagging players in faction fights  it drops a little deep debuff's slow trail of icy   crystals on the ground if enemies touch it they  become slowed which gives you credit if they die   in factions PVP very useful but otherwise useless  in everything but faction PVP the themed sandals   lets you swap your position with a Target this  can kind of like confuse someone a bit if you're   a fire staff user in a corrupted dungeon you  could pin people against walls with firewall   otherwise it's not that useful I guess I don't  really know why you would use this currently for   a solo Fighter the cultist sandals are the best  PVE boots in the entire game because it lowers the   damage resistance of enemies meaning you will deal  tremendous amounts of damage to them because they   will have less armor this is really really good  for soloing bosses dungeon bosses static enemies   even faction outposts this is my go-to boots for  soloing those the face scale sandals basically   make you untargetable and immune to damage while  you Channel it so this is a good disengage boot   for faction fighting but usually most of the time  they do get run down by hundreds of players anyway   you're not going to escape the sandals and Purity  are really nice for Mobility it has a 10 second   cooldown it's really useful uh just in general  for floating around I've not really seen anyone   really make a play with these boots though so  maybe someone out there will discover something   let's see here we have the Torches the Torches  are an offhand um that you can use which are   pretty good let's talk about them uh adept's torch  the cooldown it lowers your cooldowns it makes you   attack faster pretty useful for a lot of builds  the missed collar just lowers your cooldowns a   little bit more than the torch but um no attack  speed the lyric cane is useful for increasing   your crowd control time so if you root someone and  you have a layering cane you will root them for   longer it's not super useful for solo players but  it's actually it can be useful in faction fights   prep candle is the go-to damage steroid  offhand in the entire game this thing   will buff your damage higher than the moyzak  but it does not buff your auto attack damage   on the downside it makes you squishier the  stronger your [ __ ] candle is the more   defense that you lose against players and mobs  meaning you are easier to kill this is my go-to   for clearing you know dungeons static dungeons  solo dungeons group dungeons it's also my go-to   for just killing open world everything because  I go I go glass Cannon I want to kill fast all   right and get killed even faster apparently the  sacred scepter lower or increases your your crowd   control resistance so if someone tries to root  you they won't root you as long this is just   useful if you're transporting goods otherwise kind  of useless for solo players order staffs are not   that great for solo players they are not good  in PVE there are way better options but there's   some memes that you can use you know they're not  entirely useless but you don't need to level them   up let's just say that the Quarter Staff you jump  at an enemy and you deal damage you knock them in   the air nothing really special about the Quarter  Staff the Ironclad staff makes you do a whirlwind   which knocks enemies back this can be useful for  knocking multiple players into static mobs so that   they get killed especially in a raid Zone if you  want to be what's called a rat and you go to a   world boss and you knock players into enemies uh  the enemies will down the players you can execute   the players and take their loot really fun but I  think a Bedrock mace is simply better for that job   the double-bladed staff is great because it gives  you a movement ability that leaps you forward very   quickly and pretty far too it's great for skip  sets this is your go-to weapon if you want to   skip dungeon floors scout out treasure or just  run away from whatever it is like amongst Dave   you can use this to tag enemy players though there  are better weapons for that it doesn't deal good   damage and who cares about debuffing enemies in a  faction fight you're a solo player what happens to   your faction or to them does not matter to you  there are better weapons for tagging enemies   his soul Scythe again this is more of a zvz weapon  pretty useless for us solo players you can tag   enemies with it I guess but um solo players have  no use for this weapon staff of balance another   useless weapon for solo players this um increases  your damage resistance reduces enemy healing you   can tag enemy players with it it's actually  pretty good for tagging enemy players uh you   can't receive healing while it's active though and  you'll just die there's better ways to tag than   this I would recommend a healing weapon attack  allies and use your armor abilities to tag enemies   the grill Seeker is probably the best crowd  control weapon in the entire game and has a   very long range you can cast it twice it  it shoots a line on the ground the defend   enemies touch it they become rooted uh this is  very useful for two V2s it's probably the meta   TV2 weapon but for solo players pretty  darn useless let's talk about daggers I'm sorry for the dead air  okay so the standard dagger   great for killing a single Target if you can hold  them down if they have any kind of Mobility it   doesn't work this is also the weapon to use to  solo very specific group dungeon bosses there   are like two bosses in the game that you  absolutely cannot kill without having an   8.4 dagger with maximum spec uh because of their  self-healing and because of other mechanics this   is probably one of the highest single Target DPS  weapons in the game even for sustained that can   be argued from hce Hardcore Expedition players  but I digress for soloing group dungeon bosses   this weapon will get the job done and it's the  only weapon they can kill a specific few bosses   the dagger pair is probably one of the best one  shot burst from invis weapons in the entire game   and Deals tremendous upfront damage if you have  the correct combo I have a channel I'm sorry I   have a video for members it kind of explains us  a bit other YouTubers have made plenty of dagger   One-Shot builds it's no secret uh go out there if  you if you just want to go invisible and kill one   guy this is the weapon to do it with the claws  are kind of like dagger pair they technically   deal more damage if you can get the full combo off  but it takes longer to execute uh and it doesn't   synergize with say assassin jacket as well due  to the nature of how that works but it is still   a great solo ganking weapon you like there are  plenty of people that Max this out and if they   lock onto you with this then you you're as good as  dead if you don't have the right build blood later   is one of the high higher Mobility weapons in the  game if not the highest Mobility weapon uh it is   getting a slight Nerf in mobility in a future  patch but regardless it is the execute weapon   of choice you can run around a battlefield like  a faction fight and execute players if they are   below 40 HP this used to be the most feared weapon  on all of the battlefield if you saw p a bunch of   people wearing this you would just be like it's  over but it's not as strong anymore and it's not   really that useful for anything else other than  faction PVP demon Fang again a pretty crappy   weapon there are other weapons that deal way more  damage more efficiently than this this is kind of   a meme weapon it used to be the black hands which  got removed from the game which used to be the   best corrupted dungeon weapon in the entire game  sadly but it's gone now unfortunately we have this   um again not a good weapon for anything really for  solo players the death givers great for 1v1s it's   kind of like a hit and run weapon it's kind of  like a zoning weapon uh they can be fun they can   be annoying to fight but other than that it's not  really useful in PVE the bridal Fury out of all   the daggers this one would probably be the one you  would use to farm like open world mobs maybe you   you could solo group dungeon mods with this but  it's slow it doesn't really have much of a use in   faction fighting it does not do damage escalation  which means the more enemies you hit the more   damage you deal this weapon is just to disengage  enemies and hit them one time it's kind of a weird   meme not really good for solo players but nature  staff is great for solo players a nature staff   has a heel and a damage in its e spell great for  soloing dungeons at higher tier solo dungeons this   is your go-to weapon of choice great nature staff  is great for running through packs of enemies and   being fully healed if enemies are dumb enough to  hit you while you have living Living Armor active   you basically fully heal it's probably one of  the best weapons for just running through a bunch   of enemies and not dying it's it's pretty nutty  like if you if you wanted to tag a bunch of enemy   um like in a faction this will keep you alive more  than anything as long as it's active and doesn't   get purged uh which it used to be unperchable but  um I back then you could Purge it with Lumberjack   Garb people didn't know this uh fun fun stuff  wild staff you drop a big healing Circle in   the ground heals over time great for like it's  super easy to see allies will run to the circle   and tag themselves for you it's pretty dang  useful dreadic staff is a great 1v1 weapon   it's probably my favorite dueling weapon in the  entire game just think of it like a little magic   wand I don't know it's um it it is a really hard  burst deal this is my go-to weapon for soloing   group dungeon bosses if necessary because of the  powerful heal that you can cast on yourself when   combined with protection of nature that steroids  that heal the the thorns and the fact that it's   a one-hitted item so you can Juice It Up with  an offhand makes it my favorite choice for Solo   in group dungeon bosses uh you can solo most  group dungeon bosses with this except for a   select few that have healing mechanics or burst  mechanics or the fifth floor dungeon bosses you   can't really solo those the blight staff is  the best weapon in the entire game or tagging   your faction friends this lets you move around  while healing in a large bright green circle that   everyone can see so they're going to run to you  to get heals this thing is amazing it's a short   cooldown it heals a very large amount compared  to the other ones when I did healing tests in a   separate video this healed very highly compared  to all the other ones so not only is it useful   for tagging allies you're actually contributing  to the fight I guess so um it loses troll points   we'll say that rampant staff drops a big rectangle  on the ground that heals players it's not as good   as uh the wild staff or the blight staff but  it's something I believe it's getting nerfed   a little bit for some reason in a future patch  iron root staff is for 2v2s it's awkward to use   there's a meme you can use this in the red zone  to tag someone who is completely unflagged and   get them killed but I don't know if they've ever  fixed that I've never attempted to even try that   bug because I don't want to get banned um all  right moving on to the Spears Spears are okay they can do a lot of things the other weapons  can do but they don't excel at them they're like   a jack of all trade weapon I guess uh so if you  just want to do a little bit of everything they're   okay the regular spear it's got a good movement  ability it deals a good amount of damage it can   be annoying to fight against I don't have much  experience with Spears the pike uh it used to   be like this neat little One-Shot weapon but not  anymore it got nerfed the glaive is really fun   and faction fights are throwing enemies into  a pile behind you if you are a high Mobility   build and someone's running away use this and then  they're dead you're just throwing them into a pack   of hounds it's it's pretty fun the uh also by the  way at higher tier Spears get the Harpoon ability   so in faction fights when someone's running away  you use this you only come back to your team and   they just get devoured like a pack of zombies it's  so fun it's a fun weapon like Spears are very fun   so Iran spear great this is really good at just  tagging enemies it you may not think about it   but it's a low cooldown it stuns it deals damage  in an area of effect when it lands it's actually   like you sit in the back lines and you toss  these out and you get a lot of faction points   the spirit Hunter a little bit longer cooldown  and this thing is really good for soloing group   dungeons soloing group dungeon bosses and static  dungeons it's actually it used to be the fastest   in the game believe it or not but it got nerfed  a bit uh it it does lower damage resistance this   thing also has AOE escalation so if you throw  this in a blob of 100 players they're all gonna   die and like immediately it's super fun the uh  what is this the Trinity spear really good for   corrupted dungeons this thing is hard to fight  against it's and it's uh there's a couple like   like instant wind builds out there I think I have  I made one a long time ago before I had a Members   Only video I don't know if I got nerfed because I  haven't tried it but it worked back then it should   work now I think it's like forgotten Tech honestly  the daybreaker destroys Buffs when you run people   through with this interesting enough this was  like a meta 1v1 weapon on the first few days of   the East server people who got their hands on a  daybreaker were just slapping everyone around in   open world PVP so at low IP this thing is Bonkers  but at high IP I've never noticed anyone really   make a scratch on me so it's not really that  good for PVE either bows bows are interesting   they're more of a PVP weapon not so much PVE  uh the regular bow this thing is really good   in corrupted dungeons if you know how to use it  uh you could also use this to scoot around stuff   Beyond a weight limit I think that's getting  fixed though we'll see who knows uh but other   than that just regular bows the old bow was way  better than the new bow I'm gonna tell you that   right now this actually got nerfed but it's still  pretty darn good in corrupted dungeons I haven't   found much use for it elsewhere orbo you can tag  one player with this it deals mediocre damage even   at Max spec 8.4 whatever it uh it's it's just  it's just a long long-range little like Chip   Away weapon really it's super annoying to fight in  1v1 but other than that it's okay for PVP not much   you sell elsewhere Longbow is a faction bombing  super weapon and it's really good for open world   mobs this thing absolutely slaps hard especially  at high specs and high uh weapon grade gear by   the way if anyone wants to buy a long bow I have  a masterpiece long bow here uh it says it's worth   90 million um so if you're interested in a 8.4  Masterpiece Longbow let me know I'll I'll sell   you mine I'd rather have the silver than the bow  at this point because I don't ever use it I don't   need a masterpiece to kill a faction group I did  just a flat eight for me with my specialization   will allow me to kill a bomb an entire faction  blob but it's again really good it's also one of   the laggiest spells in the game for some reason if  you cast this at a certain angle and you can like   the arrows will flood your screen and freeze your  game even with super Hardware like a 3080 you know   GPU you know that a 10 50 whatever processor it's  nutty this thing is super laggy for some reason   uh next up is the whispering bow this is by far  the highest damaged single Target turret weapon   in the entire game it does make you Squishy by  20 when you cast it which sucks for whatever   he wants I'm gonna tell you right now I burned  through like a couple million silver trying this   in 1v1 even invis ganking with it kind of sucked  uh because of the decrease in defense a flat four   curve staff will melt you before you even get your  combo off that's how much damage there that's how   much defense you lose with this sucker but if  you sit in the back lines of a faction fight   you're going to be able to just left click and  kill anyone you want even tanks even tanks will   melt to this weapon you can see here that uh I  actually have this thing uh whoops that's that's   terrific staff you can see here that I have 107  spec in it and the Longbow 108 spec I love me some   faction fighting okay that's why I've got these  things leveled up and of course wailing bow we're   gonna get to Wei lingbo uh wailing bow this thing  is nutty if there are a lot of people fighting   in a faction fight but in smaller scale faction  fights this thing is pretty darn useless this has   a niche ability of one shotting open world mobs  instantaneously at Max spec 8.4 but other than   that it's pretty Niche and useless pretty much  everywhere probably one of the worst bows the bow   of badon is it's meta for uh corrupted dungeons  it's meta for soloing group dungeons static mobs   it does have a higher cooldown and lower damage so  it's not the best but you can do it uh it's also   really good for missed PVP this is kind of your  go-to Miss PVP weapon I think if I were to ever   like be one of those Chads that runs around in a  yellow zone they're not called Kings an 8.4 player   in a mist is called a Chad it's always been called  to Chad I didn't make that okay I am not the the   the father of that term but the the bow of badon  is probably the most meta weapon for missed PVP   it also lets you one shot uh harvestable mobs and  yellow zones this thing is a super useful I really   need to buy me an 8.4 version of this and I just  haven't bothered the Mist piercer if you use a   certain combo you can delete people in a faction  fight there are better weapons for this but it's   pretty darn useful in faction fighting not much  useful elsewhere let's get to leather helmets now   mercenary Hood this is used for cleansing that's  really about it Hal is a really terrible spell   don't bother it's also one of the cheaper helmets  because it's so useless Hunter hood is a reflect   spell this is being nerfed once again this item  always goes up and down in value like after like a   half a year they'll probably buff it back to 100  they always do or at least they always have uh   you just cast this and you reflect damage so one  shot builds this is how you counter them kind of   the Assassin Hood lowers all your cooldowns this  is great for traveling this is great for people   that spam abilities it's a fun helmet it's  really interesting to be able to just get all   your cooldowns back for the most part very useful  the Royal hood is a damaged steroid this is the   best damaged steroid helmet in the game but it's  awkward and clucky to use you cast it you get this   little buff under you and if you don't attack  someone on that buff tick it does not stick so   if you go beyond six seconds you lose the buff  entirely if you attack someone on the first take   you only get four percent damage increase which  is pretty much useless uh the the stalker hood   is great for revealing invisible Targets this  also shreds armor in amazingly well for targets   below 50 HP I have highly considered testing this  helmet for farming mobs in static Dungeons and I   believe it might be the best in slot for that but  I am not entirely sure more testing is necessary   this is one of my favorite helmets though it's a  damage there steroid it's it's instant fast cast   it's a local down to 15 seconds this thing is is  a sleeper hit I love it the Hellion Hood drops   a smoke bomb turning you invisible and silencing  anyone in the cloud her Auto attack builds this is   amazing and also faction fight people hate this  helmet because it's self-serving and they hate   that so very fun helmet to use for bow builds  dagger builds and so on the inspector hood is   probably the most used helmet in the game because  it resets the cooldown on your chest piece which   opens up a whole bunch of different possibilities  of doubling down on your Armor's ability super   useful stuff missed lockerhood makes it where you  can't die as long as this ability is activated uh   so you can kind of do like a Last Stand martyr  kind of thing and just get a bunch of people   down I've messed around with this with a great ax  attacking factions and I've had great success with   it uh what what I do is I will attack like I'll  Attack a blob I'll use a keeper cape and then   when I'm about to die I pop this helmet and then I  use all of my abilities and I'm dealing tremendous   amounts of damage to everything around me so I do  die unfortunately but I take out a lot of targets   with me this thing needs more testing it's I think  it's useful I think it's a really fun helmet the   hood of tenacity can be used to purge oh wait no  no I'm sorry this is not the purge helmet that's   the play one this one deals damage but it also  reduces healing received uh and the amount that   they heal when casting spells which I believe is  new I don't use this helmet much I've never really   seen this helmet used in anything for solo players  I'm sorry you know whatever let's just move on to   leather jackets leather jackets are pretty meta  for every type of player the mercenary jacket   when activated heals you when you deal damage this  is pretty useful for soloing group certain group   dungeon bosses I still use this for certain bosses  it's useful in World PVP new players tend to be   told to use this to solo dungeons I disagree with  that statement I think they needed to learn how to   dodge attacks dodging is far more useful in a solo  dungeon than just you know hammering through it   with a sustain Hunter jacket is great for daggers  and Whispering bows and that's really about it it   doesn't have much use elsewhere it's a damaged  steroid and attack speed steroid I've tried it   with like swords and a few other meta builds and  it it's okay with dual swords but other than than   that it doesn't have a lot of views sassy jacket  turns the invisible makes your next attack tail   tremendous damage if you let it charge up this is  used by so many people gankers you can use this   for skip sets it's a great all-around uh jacket  I would recommend leveling this up at some point   as a solo player Royal jacket you can use it it  got heavily nerfed for self-use but um it used to   it was a 50 cooldown rate for yourself but now  it's just for your allies this doesn't let you   tag allies to get credit for their kills pretty  useless for solo players unless you're traveling   around and uh maybe using a skip set other than  that solar pairs have no use for this thing uh   stalker jacket however is a tremendously large  damage circle around view this thing is slaps this   thing is great this thing is mandatory for ganking  transport solo it's my favorite for farming static   mobs and clearing group dungeons solo quickly this  is the armor that I would use for most things as a   solo player once it's Max spec and Max geared of  course alien jacket until then is your go-to for   soloing Dungeons and static mobs because it's  also a circle that deals damage around you but   it heals you not as much damage as the stalker  jacket but this is your go-to sustained chess   piece this is absolutely meta for PVP if you're  low on Health in The Mists you run into a pack   of mobs you turn this on you're suddenly fully  healed and your opponent's dead it's really good   inspector jacket has a niche used currently  for soloing solo dungeons very quickly other   than that it's pretty damn useless they nerfed  its damage to players by making it percentage of   Max HP which does not stack with other players  also stacking it I've tried there's really no   use for this other than soloing dungeons missed  Walker jacket is very meta for mist fighting for   corrupt dungeons it makes you immune and turns you  invisible it's basically it stalls time it lets   you negate an enemy's execute it has a lot of PVP  functionality for PVE it's pretty useless though   jacket of tenacity is a damaged steroid or  a defense steroid depending on what what you   target who you target it's kind of meta for sword  users and corrupted dungeons but I haven't seen it   being used other than that moving on now to the  leather boots we have the mercenary shoes which   is useful for transporting goods and avoiding  being attacked in a clump that's basically it uh   Hunter shoes are useful for increasing your crowd  control on a Target not much use for solo players   assassin shoes are a single Target damage spell  there's better boots for increasing your damage   against mobs against players this doesn't have  much use there's better boots royal shoes lets   you do a cool jump in the air it's really neat  and cool looking it makes you like flip like a   ninja but other than that it doesn't have much  use it's just not that great for solo players   Star shoes are an okay damage steroid that you  can also use to get damage immunity because it   is a blink this is just a better boot to use than  like say the major the cleric sandals honestly the   helian shoes are one of my favorite fun boots it  turns you invisible it makes a loud noise it puts   an arrow over Target's head and it teleports you  next to them it deals it grants you 35 additional   damage when you cast it uh for a short time  it's very powerful but this thing is countered   by so many things that in PvP it's basically  useless because of all the counters but it is   a fun thing to just cast on a Target and then and  then attack them with a really high damage skill   I think it's a fun boot to use the Specter shoes  are great for solo invisible ganking because it   lets you walk around invisible you can use this  for skip sets and walking past mobs it has an   issues for in in roads of Avalon but solo players  shouldn't really ever go there missed walker shoes this lets you dash forward dump your load and  then teleport away it's it's kind of Niche use   I haven't seen anyone really pull this off  there's just better boots shoes of tenacity   is more so for hardcore Expeditions this thing  has a very low cooldown for crossbow users that   makes it really really good like you slap on  an 8.4 pair of these with a crossbow set in   the yellow zone and you are an absolute monster  to deal with these things hit super hard at Max   spec and Max gear I might make a video of that  one day maybe for members only but until then   they're mostly used in PVE not so much PVP because  there's no real escapists at all in kind of boot   Shields Shield Shields The Shield is possibly  besides the Tome of spells one of the cheapest   offense in the game if you just want to go out  with something in that weapon slot like you're   doing a flat Force set to go die in the black  zone or something then you could use a shield   it doesn't really give you that much defense  there's no reason to use this in PVE and PVP   you're not really going to notice a difference the  sarcophagus same thing slightly more defense than   the shield it's useful for tanks I guess the The  k-tiff Shield crowd control duration whoop-dee-doo   that's like for group stuff facebreaker is kind  of meta because it increases your damage your   defense your threat generation a lot of people  will use this to solo static mobs this is not   ideal you don't need the defenses just go [ __ ]  candle uh astral Aegis some people will use this   to solos very specific dungeon bosses you don't  need it it's maybe wear this for transporting   I don't really see a point for a solo player to  use Shields honestly at all crossbows crossbows   crossbows oh boy crossbows are actually super  amazing for solo players the crossbow is a very   long range high damage spell that deals physical  damage this thing is gonna be nutty with the new   Morgana Cape I'm gonna be out here one tapping  people with this bad boy whenever that Cape gets   its rework done the heavy crossbow sucks feels  low damage whoopty do it interrupts spell casting   who cares that's its use it's a useless weapon  don't bother the light crossbow is the meta go-to   um it's the highest ranked PVP weapon in the  game in Mists uh there's an 8.4 guy that roams   around with these and he just slays everything  it's it does take skill though because you have   to aim the explosive bolts you have to aim the  caltromps uh for soloing dungeons this is the   fastest weapon in the entire game at high specs  in tier V at tier VII the damage falls off a bit   due to enemy's defenses and you're not gonna  bring 8.4 like crossbows for a solo dungeon   so you would want a more sustained DPS weapon  like a nature staff for higher tier dungeons   but for soloing yellow zone tier 5 dungeons this  is the fastest weapon in the entire game bar none   it is absolutely amazing weeping repeater you  would think it would be useful because you could   put mines down and then people run into the mines  but people just don't run into the mines this is   maybe useful if there's a very large faction fight  and you spam it in in the middle of a blob maybe   and no one notices I've only ever seen one clip in  three years of this being useful bolt casters are   the go-to fastest solo dungeon clearing weapon  in the game if you have no specialization no   spec and no good gear this outclasses the light  crossbow simply because at lower specs you will   deal more damage with your e-spell that's it the  reason why that like crossbow is better at high   specs is because it is a one-handed weapon and  because it's one-handed you can wear a [ __ ]   candle which will juice up your stalker jacket  I believe I said that correctly Specter jacket   it will juice up your Specter jacket whereas  bulk casters are two-handed you can't juice   up a specter jacket you're not high spec so your  Specter jacket won't deal enough damage other than   that this thing is really good for upfront single  Target damage it is very nutty in that regard if   someone Dismounts in front of you in PvP they have  five seconds before they can do anything you cast   this they're dead I have several videos on my  Channel showing this The Siege bow is actually   very powerful when it comes to faction fighting  uh out of all spell that have AOE escalation this   one is really wonky after a certain point it will  start two tapping players if there are enough of   them which not many weapons do the the meteor the  brimstone staff also does this so Brimstone staff   is better than Siege she's bow but siegebo is it's  fun it's easy to use it's not really that useful   outside of faction fighting energy shaper is a  niche Weapon It's a line attack this thing deals   the most damage to players in the entire game if  they sit inside the laser the entire time there is   no harder hitting single Target ability or line  attack ability in the game than this it's also   really cool because it's like a space Laser cannon  which really doesn't make sense in this world of   magic and ancient weapons but uh regardless this  is the this is the most gun-like weapon that   the game has and it's this freaking space Laser  cannon right you would find this on a spaceship   it's really it's the coolest weapon possibly  besides the king maker um and um I I haven't   really found much of a use for this other than  if there's a fight on a bridge or a choke point   other than that it's kind of a dead weapon let's  talk about bro uh the war gloves for a sec here all right so we have the brawler gloves the  they are okay at throwing enemies in the air   not much use elsewhere the battle bracers are a  meta weapon for PVP roaming PVP hit and run PVP   group PVP solo PVP these things slap they're also  decent at Fame farming in The Mists they deal lots   of damage they're highly mobile they're pretty  darned well-rounded these Spike gauntlets are the   go-to fastest way to clear open world mobs in the  entire game they're not the safest like if you're   fighting a boss you would want to curse staff  because you can sit on your Mount while the curses   kill the enemy whereas this you have to actively  be fighting this is useful for one-shotting mobs   if you gather them uh if you just want to one  shot or open world mobs like if I were to farm   a black Zone tier 8 I would use probably a tier  6 or tier sevens by gauntlets and I would still   be able to one shot a lot of mobs maybe two or  three shot them this is just a really fast and   hard-hitting weapon this deals more damage to  Plate users so if there's a bunch of Tanks you   know they're bombing your faction you can punch  them with this and it'll it'll make them back off   it won't kill them but it'll back them up a bit uh  let's see here we have Earth sign Ballers there's   a meme where you can use this uh in a faction  fight and delete everyone but it's kind of like   you're killing them after you've hit this and that  gives them time to heal or Shield or recover it's   it's a meme weapon I wouldn't really use it for  solo play the Hellfire hands is also a One-Shot   weapon you can if you do this correctly you uh  use the triple kick you cast this you triple kick   them you can hit them with all three Boulders it's  hard to pull off but when you do it's it's pretty   fun otherwise it has no use in Solo play there's  just better weapons The Raven strike it's it's a   cool weapon but there's better weapons for what  it does it's just an AOE attack throws enemies   in the air the fists of Avalon again it deals  more damage than some of the other gloves but   it's awkward to use the cooldowns it's it's not  really the best for solo players it has no use   in PVE just use Spike gauntlets hammers not very  useful for solo players but there's a few Niche   uses alright so the hammer pretty useless in PVE  for solo PVP faction PVP you're better off with   other weapons there's no reason to use this pull  Hammer same thing there's no reason to use this   great hammer is actually a meta weapon for solo  PVP uh for missed PVP in an open environment not   not those new dungeons coming out with with dead  ends this thing allows you to run down anyone   or escape from anyone in the game due to uh the  slowing charge and then the tackle which is also a   stun this thing I've made an entire video on this  there's a streamer called Africa now and he makes   very strong use of this build so go check that  out if you want more information but for solo PVE   it sucks there's no reason to use hammers at all  to farm mobs tomb Hammer is a corrupted dungeon   um meta weapon which can be used to range stun  a Target usually in traps or to follow up with   some hit and run tactics Forge hammers are really  really good at tagging enemy players in faction   fights I have considered maxing this out because  it's so damn good this makes you big it increases   your armor and Magic resistance it increases  your attack range it slows enemies around you   these are all like if you want to jump into a  group of enemy players and tag them for faction   fighting this might be possibly the best weapon  for that if you don't want to heal allies and tag   them as well like if you just want to tag enemies  this might be the go-to weapon I have I I need to   test test it more I've taken notice of a few  players using this in faction fights who get   insane amount of knockdowns per week this might be  the best possible weapon for that but I don't know   for sure yet but in 1v1s and corrupted dungeons  these things are hard to find they're annoying to   fight they're dangerous they kind of vacuum you  in with the slow and you can't really fight back   because of their resistance it's a low cooldown  all in all these things are pretty beastly but   performing open world mobs for farming dungeons  you wouldn't use these Grove keeper is really   good if you have friends with you but other than  that we're so we're talking about solo players   in this video not much use you attack enemies  in an AOE and you get some armor whoop-dee-doo   The Hand of Justice again this is for zbz's  this is for people doing organized stuff you   don't really have much of a use for this you spin  around you collect a bunch of enemies along with   your Spin and then you dump them out deal some  damage throw them in the air whatever who cares   it's not useful for solo players mace's again  maces aren't really that great for solo players   but they're they're fun there's some fun uses  we'll talk about them the regular mace is um it's   pretty mobile you can use it as a mobile weapon  for navigation uh you can use it to tag enemies   other than that uh it hits pretty hard with a  [ __ ] handle mesa's hit pretty decently hard you   can Farm open world Mobs with a care Leone cape  and a mace pretty quickly actually in a tier five   yellow zone with Max spec and 8.4 but it doesn't  have much other farming use than that you could   solo group like static Mobs with this too but it's  slow there's no real reason to use it Ebbie mace   um is super annoying to the enemy if you  just want to troll the enemy this is a great   troll weapon to purge uh but other than that  pretty useless for solo players Morningstar is   um this used to be a meta weapon for duo  ganking but I believe they nerfed it I have   never seen this used ever since the Nerf I have  no experience with this weapon I can't really   comment on it it's useless in PVE and in Solo PVP  there's no reason to use this the Bedrock bass is   probably my favorite mace in the whole game this  thing is the most fun troll weapon there ever is   you have force of nature it's a low cooldown it  knocks players back in insane distance you can   use this in a world boss area to knock players  into monsters to kill them you can use this to   knock players away they're chasing you almost  indefinitely yeah this is the most annoying   weapon to chase someone down in if if they're  doing like a faction transport and they have   a bunch of knockbacks I just I just say forget  it it's not it's not worth the trouble trying   to kill them if they have one of these bad boys  other than that it's not really useful for farming   um I have seen an only Rats video shout outs to  only RADS the YouTube YouTuber who um he he was   able to fame Farm really good with this weapon  he showed that in The Mists he could just knock   everyone away and steal the Wisps and you can even  knock enemies away from the Caged wisps and rescue   them before the mobs can rest can attack you and  cancel your animation so you can Fame form this up   in The Mists that that is so nutty that is so cool  Incubus mace is for group PVE players to lower the   current health and damage dealt by enemies this is  the meta for PVE tanking for solo play you have no   use for this cam land mace you can suck a bunch of  enemies in there's better weapons to do this now   um namely the uh was enigmatic staff no no the the  witch work staff is way better than this there's   no reason to use this anymore The Oath Keepers  are a meta weapon in corrupted dungeons man   these things are annoying to fight against every  time I go into corrupted Dungeons and someone   has these I just break crystals because you're  never going to kill them you're never going to   chase them down they're they're hyper mobile  because what this does is it increases their   move speed it gives them a shield and it gives  them they heal when they hit you this is the most   annoying weapon I have ever fought in corrupt  dungeons if my opponent knows how to run away   from me I can never kill them this is the never  get killed weapon this is also very useful in   um in affection fighting because for whatever  reason the the move speed tags your allies   even though the shield doesn't the move speed  does so if you if you buff someone's move speed   and they kill a player you get points for it uh  also because it Shields you it makes you hard to   kill it's it's just super annoying weapon to fight  against uh might be very good for tagging though   if you can Max it out I don't have experience with  it personally axes axes axes this used to be the   meta weapon for solo players this is what Reddit  told all the new players to use back in the day   and I fell for the Trap but hey they they've kind  of regained their uh popularity let's talk about   the battle ax is possibly known as the best 1v1  brawling weapon in the open world this thing has a   ranged nuke a self-heal it deals tremendous damage  it's a one-handed weapon so you can Juice It Up   with an offhand it has high Mobility you can't go  wrong with the battle ax build and so they're also   cheap they're very cheap the greataxes possibly  the easiest to use weapon in the game that's why   it's recommended to a lot of new players because  it's freaking easy to use you could also this was   my first weapon I've ever leveled up in the game  uh you can solo group dungeon mobs so that you   can solo static Mobs with it it's not as fast  as a shadow crawler but it gets the job done   it's also I'm experimenting more  with it with attacking uh like   bombing faction players with it I've had  good success and sometimes not so much the halberd it just spreads the bleed around  this is pretty useless there's better weapons   to deal damage and carrying collar is only really  useful in arenas for reducing healing received if   there's a lot of healers you might pull one  of these out I guess in a faction fight but   I've only ever seen this useful in Arena uh  it otherwise it sucks the infertile Scythe   was nerfed that used to be an execute weapon a  very good one but now not so much it's kind of   awkward and clunky to use bear paws are my  number one favorite PVP weapon in the game   if I want to attack a gatherer a botter a  fisherman in the yellow zones even the red   zones even the black zones these are my go-to  weapons these are my favorite PVP weapons in   the entire game because of the high Mobility the  high burst I can stick to targets it's it's very   very good it's the best weapon for knocking  down or killing a mounted players transport   like if you see gank groups in the red zones  they're gonna run like a bunch of bear paws   the only problem that I have with Bear Paws is  that they're expensive they're very expensive 121   000 for just a flat four versus the axes 1000.  these things are 100 times more expensive than   other axes and it only scales up on the on  the East server these things were insanely   overpriced for several days it was nutty the realm  breaker is cool if you want to like attack a blob   and you know reduce their Max Health but for  solo players there's not much of a use for this   maybe it's good for static mobs if you have  some friends but for solo players there's no   reason to use a realm breaker let's go to swords  swords are interesting for solo players they used   to be kind of meta but not So Much Anymore the  regular Broad Sword it deals damage it's okay   um someone can kick your butt in a corrupted  dungeon with it with a ride off hand and Cape but   other than that they're pretty boring and Bland  the Claymore is it used to be one of the most meta   of all corrupted dungeon weapons I don't know what  happened I don't play swords but um basically you   would run at your opponent with three charges and  open on them with with the Claymore and that put   you at a huge Advantage dual swords got nerfed but  they're still decent um they're mobile they make   your auto attacks fast they're okay the Claret  blade I've seen this used in pretty powerful   fashion in Mists I tried to solo static Mobs  with it and it did okay but it wasn't that great   not really useful for solo players Urban sword  has a lot of mobility and a decent amount of   damage against single targets but against groups  of targets like for PVE it's not the greatest I   tried this out for solo farming moms Dungeons and  stuff and it's they're just better weapons for   PVP though this might be the new meta for missed  PVP this is shaping up to be the most powerful   1v1 missed weapon due to its Mobility its Chase  potential the fact that their armor shreds targets   it's it's it's still up in the air though we don't  know for sure skeleton pair is used to bomb clumps   of faction Fighters it deals a tremendous amount  of damage but you're better off with a brimstone   staff you're better off with siegebo uh the damage  escalation on this is actually pretty good but   against smaller faction fights not so much it's  also really hard to land the hit but when you do   it feels good but other than that it's difficult  to use key maker is possibly one of the coolest   weapons in the game because it's a really big  and nice looking sword you swing it around like   you're your Fran from reincarnated as a sword it's  got that feel to it and I have actually fought a   maximum spec 8.4 player he too shotted me with  this I don't know how he did but he did he I was   wearing leather armor in my 8.4 he killed me in  two hits with this I don't know if he was cheating   or if that's just how powerful the weapon actually  is when I've tested this on the test realm I have   not gotten nearly close to that damage so I don't  know how he specifically did it but it is possible   maybe is this the sword Hero Let's talk about  plate helmets the soldier helmet has block   boring you don't really need that for solo play  uh the knight helmets reduces your damage again   solo players don't need this the guardian helmet  is the go-to helmet in the entire game for dealing   with curse stabs if I'm a curse staff player and  someone has this helmet I just turn around and   leave because there's no point for me to fight  them the Royal helmet drops a barrel which stuns   players you can set this up for some meme combos  but it's hard to land it's awkward to use it's   kind of a meme helmet as a solo player you can't  use sacrifice at all in a faction fight I guess   why would you do that ever demon helmet is an  auto attack silence now I have a problem with this   helmet I have a big problem this helmet is costing  me a couple million silver let me explain when you   cast this and you do your auto attack there is  a delay to when the silence is applied what this   means is that if you start comboing someone and  you expect them to be silenced they still have   a little bit of time to toggle on their cleric  robe and then kill you and because of that this   is not as useful as you would think in PVE it's  useless you don't need to silence enemies in PvP   if the silence doesn't apply instantly for some  reason then you're screwed the adjudicator helmet   is great for tagging lots of enemy players in a  faction fight it deals damage it stuns them it's   um it's a it's a cast and then the delay of the  of the spell happens shortly afterwards so you can   you can run through a crowd and cast it and you'll  tag a bunch of people it's really good for tagging   and not much else for solo players The Dusk lever  helmet uh lets you be Spider-Man you could shoot   a you know web at someone and then you can fly at  them if you want not much use for solo players the   helmet of Valor this is the one that purges um  Buffs you can make people uninvisible if you aim   it correctly it's pretty fun to use it's annoying  to get used against you if you're bootsing around   you can cancel someone's boots with proper aim  other than that for solo players no point to use   this on enemies monsters no real point to use this  on clumps of players there's better ways to tag   them let's talk about plate armor Soldier armor  is actually amazingly powerful in 1v1 corrupt   dungeons and open world I'm still experimenting  with this bad boy but I have actually won more   fights than I've lost with this armor uh it makes  you tanky and once you have the fury stacked up   uh you deal lots of damage and the enemy kind of  has a choice if you have Fury activated they can   choose not to attack you for 10 seconds which is a  huge Advantage for you most people are just going   to attack you anyway to ignore it and let you get  buffed up and when you get buffed up you deal 70   um increased damage so that's pretty nutty even  though because it's plate you only have that 10   so you would only be at 80 percent but hey the  fact that you're also tanking and dealing lots   of damage it's a win-win Knight armor is a wind  wall it's now channeled this is pretty useless   uh you can hit enemies with it and get the tag but  other than that maybe knock them into an enemy mob   if you position it correctly there's not much  else used for it Guardian armor it lower this   is really good for enemy tagging you run through  a group of enemy players in a faction fight you   can tag them all with this it makes you tanky it  slows them down it reveals invisible enemies it's   super useful and you're tanky while you wear  it because it's played armor Royal armor steals   energy from enemies and uh not much else it  doesn't let you test this doesn't count as   tagging enemies for some reason I don't know why  grave guard armor is funny because you can latch a   chain onto someone and when they run away they'll  be yanked back to you uh other than that it's not   really that useful you can use it with Harpoon or  someone that's fleeing a faction fight not much   else you it's just a fun armor to troll with demon  armor is the self-sacrifice armor it lowers your   damage resistance um by a lot and it gives you  reflect basically if you're about to get Clump   and dumped in a faction fight cast this you will  die all your enemies will live but you will get   kill credit for everyone that um decided to cast  on the pile because all that damage gets reflected   from all of your allies onto them and they will  just nuke themselves essentially so just wear flat   four in a faction fight and then and then stand  in the clumps for fun I guess that's a video idea   judicator armor drops a damage resistance bubble  on the ground also increases healing received   it's pretty damn useful uh for if you want to be  a team player I guess but for solo players there's   no real use for this dusk Weaver armor leaves a  sticky web on the ground this is actually good for   tagging enemy players um the cooldown's a little  high though uh I don't really enjoy that part of   it also they're a little bit more expensive so I  just go with Guardian armor for tagging but you   can use dusk Weaver armor if you want the armor of  Valor whenever you you take damage you silence the   enemy and deal damage to them this can be really  useful for tagging if everyone focuses on you but   um it's expensive it's just an expensive piece  of armor just use the guardian armor it does   the same thing man um plate boots are insanely  useful for solo players these Soldier boots are   one of the most useful with wanderlust this thing  will increase your speed for quite a while and it   Stacks up so it ramps up your speed great for  chasing players great for running from players   without a purge absolute must have also all play  boots have this rejuvenating Sprint which is meta   for corrupted dungeon PVP and missed PVP you just  use this to heal yourself and run fast it's very   useful in almost all situations night boots  give you a shield not much to say about that   um The Shield can get actually quite high and  higher tiers so tier 4 is 400 tier 8 is 657 so   um you know you can you can get a shield over  a thousand without with the high enough gear   quality and specialization Guardian boots are  my go-to meta boots for players starting out   for solo and group dungeons soloing group dungeon  bosses and solo glowing static dungeon this thing   doubles your health pull which means all the  damage you take is essentially reduced by 50   percent during the duration of eight seconds  that's a long time to have it does have a high   cooldown unfortunately but this thing is great  for reducing damage and it also if you're a turret   build like a like a a bow and you want to just  you know man fight the enemy where none of you   run away and you just slam into each other till  you die Whoever has Guardian boots wins every   single time because they have basically double  their health pool the Royal boots are kind of a   niche I've seen this in corrupted dungeons but  not much else not really useful anywhere else   uh and oh what it does I'll go and explain  it makes you immune to roots and slows and   increases your speed over time that's basically  it it used to be way more powerful but they nerfed   it the graveguard boots you have to time this  whenever you get crowd controlled and it makes   you run faster it makes you immune to run stuns  and roots and stuff uh oh actually they change the   the functionality I'm sorry it it's now a cleanse  it gives you immunity and it cleanses you okay so   that's better this thing was so awkward to use  back in the day demon boots are very very good   when combined with an undead Cape this lets you  run fast and deal damage though this is mostly   used for escaping you get an insane amount of mood  speed if you use this when you're on very low HP   it's also a decent duration the cooldown on it  kind of sucks though the adjudicator boots allow   you to knock enemies up in the air just this  does not count as tagging them unfortunately so this has an issue Niche combo usage for  solo players PVE and PVP I would recommend   a different boot The Dusk Weaver boots knocks  players around if you knock them into a wall   they take a little bit of damage or they take  damage anyway but if you knock them into a wall   they get stunned I have never seen this used at  all ever I've never had it used against me I've   never seen anyone combo this with anything  there's potential but I don't know it the   boots of Valor okay this is the one yeah you um  you become immune to force movements if you get   stunned or rooted you break it and then you  increase your move speed by a whole bunch so   awkward use not very good for solo players  no real reason to use this for a solo player   next up we have potions for solo players poison  potion don't use this against Monsters don't   use this in dungeons you're wasting your money but  hey I'm a potion seller so feel free to waste away   um energy potion you generally don't need this  except for like Nuke builds healing potion this is   what you're mostly going to be using just use the  crappy tier 4 ones you don't need to use the the   6.1 you know it's a minor difference uh gigantify  is like having Guardian boots pretty dang useful   also useful for Transporters sticky potion this  is mostly used to reveal people that go invisible   um which I don't believe is in the tool oh yeah  it is it's at the bottom now they they added it   finally and then you have resistance potion useful  to increase your defense if you're getting like   bombed other than that there's the invisibility  potion if you want to gank players by approaching   them while they're gathering this is what you  would use but not much else let's talk about   Foods uh there's a few Foods you'll be using as  a solo player let's start with the theory ones   beef sandwich if you're taking which I don't know  why you're tanking as a solo player beef stew for   damage uh these are your mostly your go-to's pork  omelet for Ability cooldown reduction and spam   pork pie for gatherers roast pork is for soloing  group Dungeons and soloing static columns this is   the item that makes it possible to solo because it  gives you lifesteal and yes there is the pyramid   Snapper this gives you more health and life steal  you don't need this for PVE this is actually a   meta food or the Mist PVP other than that not much  other use for Foods we have cabbage soup for solo   dungeons especially with the Specter jacket  that drains your HP this thing will give you   that Health regeneration between pools to be full  health every single time one of my favorite foods   other than that's that's about it for Foods  so let's talk about capes and yes I know we're   going up back back up on the Destiny Board now  let's talk about capes I'm not going to talk   about the new capes because they're still  kind of just undiscovered bridgewatch Cape   will actually do a slow around you and not  the enemies that you attack that's going to   be changed might be useful for melees I haven't  found a use for it in testing the fort Sterling   Cape uh will basically cleanse crowd control  one time it's pretty cool in that regards   um but I prefer the mortlock cape which reduces  uh when you get low on health uh your defense   increases by 50 that's a huge amount in for five  seconds that makes you super tanky lambhurst Cape   is very useful for energy regeneration if your  build lacks any you know if your Mana cost is too   high on abilities Bedford Cape is your go-to item  for solo players because it deals a large amount   of damage from range to four targets with only  a 15 second cooldown heirloom Cape lets you cast   your q spell twice very very useful for curse dabs  and crossbows irritic Cape drops a trap on the   ground this is useful for one-handed daggers and  that's really about it if you use a meme build you   can do a one shot with an energy shaper by rooting  someone in place it's just a meme though the   keeper Cape increases your damage when you drop  below 70 HP Niche use maybe for faction bombing   that's what I use it for Morgana Cape is going to  be changed it's going to activate the second you   cast your e spell which means it will apply before  your East Spell applies which means like currently   in the game if I use my crossbow snipe ability my  character will channel the snipe shoot the bolt   after two and a half seconds and then the cape  applies whereas in the new changes as soon as I   begin to use my snipe ability the cape applies it  applies to the e spell and it will be 1.25 second   cast time so very powerful in the upcoming patch  this is going to be meta Undead Cape turns you   invisible only for five seconds this is six it's  being nerfed down to five seconds this is useful   for dealing damage to players in like safe action  fighting and then escaping without dying without a   repair pill the undead Cape drops a puddle of lava  underneath someone's feet this can be useful for   like group dungeon bosses and uh Mist I'm sorry  uh static dungeon enemies but it has a one minute   cooldown just use the theft it's more damage  demo hammers are used to smash guilds objects   that they place around their hideouts to make them  mad that's really about it for solo players anyway   that's the video I know it's been a long one  longer than the last one but I wanted to just   really emphasize why you would use these items  in as a solo player what they would be useful   for and yes I could talk about mounts I could  talk about mounts for a little bit solo player   mounts I'm just gonna I'm just gonna show you from  my chest here okay solo player amounts the Morgana   nightmare is completely useless because you can't  use this spell in faction Warfare I have one for   sale if you want to buy it from me the Bears there  are two main Bears the elite winter bear and then   the grizzly bear uh the grizzly bear is a better  choice because of its passive ability to increase   your speed when you take damage for transporting  the winter bear is more useful for pulling static   mobs in the open world because it's more tanky and  has more HP that's why I have both the wild board   gives you a lot of carry weights and it's also  pretty beefy in terms of HP and armor this is   your best Gathering mount in the game the elite  wild boar the Husky is the fastest mount in the   game so if you're traveling around use a husky the  transport Mammoth is the most carry weight in the   entire game if you need to move lots of items to  and from markets or transport things this is the   amount you would use as a solo player for faction  fighting Ridge watch is number one so you should   always be fighting for bridge watch I don't know  why you're even watching my channel if you're not   in bridgewatch it really hurts me when someone's  like I'm a fan and they're not flagged for bridge   watch but anyway the elite terror bird has the  best factionability in the game by increasing your   move speed which lets you chase down Transporters  no one else can do this but Bridge watch   the avalonian Basilisk is the best lizard mount  for move speed because it has 150 move speed   regardless if you're being attacked it's also  very beefy in its health and armor and Magic   resistance it's also the coolest Mount this is  the lambo Lamborghini of mounts the Black Panther   is basically a rage claw but without the cool  skin it's the best Mount to use for open World   um killing mobs the Morgana Raven can be  used um to move people this is for yellow   zone ganking not PVP not faction PVP just yellow  zone ganking you go up to someone Gathering and   you cast or even scream it makes them run away  from their Mount despawning their Mount they are   now overweight you're dismounted and you kill  them or down them because it's a yellow zone   other mounts that's pretty much it if you are  doing uh Island laborers use a spring Cottontail   they have a fast Gallop a time to gallop their  Gallop speed is actually kind of bug it's hard to   demonstrate it may not always work but sometimes  you can sometimes immediately break into a Gallop   from a standing position uh if you like like say  you walk up and you're doing your your laborers   you know your buff goes away but sometimes it'll  come right back immediately upon exiting the   labor menu making the spring Cottontail the best  mount in the game for handling laborers I know   that's super Niche also um let me Dismount there  there we go the uh Carilion Cottontail is the   best mount in the game for ganking open world  chests but you would need multiple players as   a solo player this doesn't really help you much  I have one for sale it's crafted by me it's got   my name on it it's got my signature if you want  to buy it let me know in the comments I'll sell   it to you other than that author's Gathering  gear you should have all Gathering gear as a   solo player because you should be making money all  Gathering tools and there you go that's basically   it that is the most useful items and every item  for solo players that you should be using uh   hopefully you enjoyed this video hopefully you  learned something new if you're a new player   um do note that um you know this is my perspective  of things this is me as a solo player there might   be some Niche uses uh for some of these items but  generally as a solo player your activity is quite   limited you're not doing Castle Siege Warfare  you're not doing Zerg versus zergs or zvz as   it's called you're not doing a lot of of that kind  of content so a lot of these items don't really   have a use for you if you're doing solo dungeons  open world mobs static group Dungeons and soloing   group dungeons uh also they're talking about me  in the chat anyway that's the video guys I hope   you enjoyed all one take one hour 30 minutes  it's been a long one make sure that you like   the video because that really helps out uh you  can see in the chat I've got a lot of haters they   don't really like me because I push the solo play  style and I'm a huge troll you know that's why I   play video games obviously anyway click the video  on the right side of your screen if you want more   advanced guides you can click the join button  right down below you you've spent an hour and   a half with me if
