In-Depth Lost Ark Class Overview Ft Saintone

all right what's going on everybody my name is stoops you may have seen some of my videos on youtube and i'll be covering lost ark with the launch of the beta taking place on november 4th and i really wanted to make this video because i know so many people are struggling which on which class to pick and i'm joined here by one of my gurus i also wanted to make this video because i wanted to shout out my friend saint here um he has been super helpful for me in getting into lost ark i'll let him introduce himself and then we'll jump into the context of the video alrighty hello everybody my name is santone uh i've been playing lost ark for an embarrassingly long amount of time but i i i guess relative to how long you and your audience were playing you know like world of warcraft before this yeah i guess it really isn't that long uh looking back in retrospect the game's only been live in my region for only three years now yeah but uh in that time i've tried my best to accumulate my own wealth of knowledge i've been through the low points of lost ark and the high points and uh i'm really excited to get to see everybody experience the best parts of it that's good that's good okay a few disclaimers here number one please go follow his youtube channel it'll be somewhere here on the screen and his twitch usually you touch on these things at the end but the guy deserves a lot more attention so please go uh show him some support i really want his his content to get out there because it's been super helpful for me okay but a couple disclaimers here number one it is like i don't know what time it is where saint is he has not slept so he's probably pretty tired i'm fried but the beta is coming up we want to make this video my brother's watching fantasy sports downstairs so you might hear him yell in the background and the window's open so there might be some bat we're just going to be chilling here and uh it's gonna be a bit more freestyle but we are gonna go over all the classes in the game touch on them but more so we're gonna touch on uh you know the idea of making sure you kind of pick the right class and how unforgiving or forgiving is the game in terms of if you want to switch later on so i have a few topics here we're going to start off with the idea of making alt so if you saw my last video touching on lost ark i did mention the idea that alts are super impactful and lost art currently and how the game works and you know with the beta coming up a lot of people are gonna be trying out a bunch of different classes and i know some people are worried about which class should i main but i've been telling people that well you don't have to worry too much about this you can kind of have a couple of classes and then by then you'll have an idea of what you want to play so what do you think about alton lost ark how important really are they saint and do you think uh it's a bit more forgiving than other games you've played in the past when it comes to switching your tune around uh well in the case of the lost ark it's kind of been embedded in our heads that we need alts for one reason or another and they kind of built the game around the idea of having almonds as well and in my game service in korea they frequently give us like you know they give us boosts to instantly get an alt up to level 50 and you know get its foot in the door to start doing in-game content so that it could start generating materials and stuff and so it's kind of like a it's it's two ways the first way is that you play an alt and it gets you materials and then whatever materials are unbound you can just like shove them into your account storage and then move them over to your main and then that's there to empower your main and speed up its progress along but then on the other side it's the fact that in lost ark classes are partially the content of the game and when you go through content that you've been through before on your main but you do it on an all a completely different class and a completely different play style it doesn't exactly it doesn't feel the same because they're so different in how they play and so lost stark currently today in my region has 21 classes and it's really common that people they get a new class and they just want to make it they want to play it so part of it is enjoyment and part of it is gain so i i'd still say that it's important for for both of those reasons yeah yeah so what we're referring to is just you know you're able to farm sometimes more gold depending on you know what the gold making methods are like in lost ark uh the version that you'll be getting on n and eu you'll be able to get more mats and you'll be able to finish your opponents your dailies a little bit faster within the week so there's some benefits to having alts for sure and as you touched on earlier that was one of the things that i really liked about the game was that sometimes you know a class might be coming out based on the road map that they release and you might start farming some gold so you can get that character caught up to your main i think you did that with the sork right so yeah i mean you see these trailers they come out and they're they're so well done they're so exciting yeah they are really good yeah you see it and immediately like i'm i'm that main now yeah it could be coming out like eight months from now i'm already that main don't even ask me yeah yeah definitely so alts are a nice part of the game and they're just fun to play and that's a lot of the content that you can expect especially in n a and eu and you know now that it's you know region unlocked other places in the world they'll be getting the game uh you call it the western version now or do we keep calling naeu because now it's like so i don't even know what to call it uh the global really i mean it's not full i don't know i don't know what to call it i don't want to step on anyone's toes without calling it global the new release of the game okay with the release of the game you know you'll be getting a lot of classes that might be you know kind of like filler content for you in between these tiers so that's pretty exciting and a lot of you can look forward to maybe playing that lance master because i know many of you guys wanted a lot of people wanting to play that classic everyone asked me about it but i also want to touch on really quickly the thing that i noticed coming into the game from wow after playing for so long there's so many server wide systems i kind of refer to them as account wide systems but technically they're server wide and there's just so many things in the game that benefit all of your characters so it does feel like you know runes are an example skill points are an example cards are an example i think bravery intellect and all those personal stats are also an example right those uh yep so that's great because if you put a lot of work in into the game or on your main it will also translate over to your alt so you i don't think you'll feel too bad if you ever have to switch off but really quickly i wanted to ask you because i want to know in my mind it would be the best time to transition to a new character when a new tier comes out right because there'll be a big jump in eye level and everyone will kind of get jumped up to around the same item level would you say that's like a fair representation of the system if you do decide to change maine yes it's a good time because that's when the gap has been shrunken the most between the people who decided to push versus the people who decided to wait at the jumping point and so you know if if someone is at like uh [Music] max enhancement on their items and someone is at the jumping point that we just discussed when everyone jumps up the gap turns from like this to like this but in order to make that jump you have to be able to gather enough materials for this new class yeah be able to immediately get to that point right away and then do the content and then make the jump yeah it is a pretty good time yeah yeah maybe save some mats once once you're done enhancing your first character and then have that for the new class that comes out and try to catch it up then with those mats and then make the jump um okay so now that you know that was just a quick rundown of how alts work in the game and that maybe you shouldn't be too worried about having to pick the right class off the gate because i know it's a lot of pressure for a lot of people and i don't want to you know scare people into making the wrong decision but i do want to inform you about your decision because i think that's also important so a lot of people come from other mmos and they talk about you know is the game a holy trinity game and the question i always hear is like are there healers in the game or is there direct healing can i be a healer and my representation of the game is that well first of all it's not a holy trinity style game but i always say that healers in lost ark are a lot more like disciplined priests from wow and if you've ever played a disc priest in wow you kind of know what i'm talking about is that to provide buffs and utility to your team you have to deal damage to get that mechanic working in the first place so maybe you could give the people listening an idea of how the class system works in the game and what that holy trinity is like or how it exists within the game how do supports benefit their teammates are there direct is there direct healing and so on okay um so first of all uh lost borrows a lot from some of the other korean mmos in the space where it's pretty much just um support and synergy and that's it so you have your support classes which their role is to provide shields attack buffs that's their most important role and then in emergency situations heels and we'll come back to that in a second because that might sound weird to people who are coming from holy trinity games which are used to like topping players off after every single attack and everything synergy refers to everybody else all the damage dealers and how everyone has you know a little buff that they provide to the party but otherwise their only role is to deal damage and that's the only delineation between the two you have the two support classes barred and holy night and then you have everything else and the the normal party format for basically everything in lost ark is one support for every three damage dealers as party sizes are four raid content is eight but that's four and four and in this game uh whenever you provide a buff to your team or put a debuff on a boss it only applies to your party and so you know the optimal formula has come down to one support three dps's outside of that there's no tanks there are tanky classes and then there's a class that has a taunt but it's not a real taunt and really the taunt on that class which is the gun lancer it's mainly used to interrupt the boss patterns so it's not um it's not your traditional holding aggro aggro tends to be random in this game yeah i do think though if you are a tank player from wow you'd probably like the warlord or gun lancer oh yeah i don't appreciate it yeah i think you'll vibe with that so if you were like a person that just know that like you're not sitting there you would like to position in front of the boss right a lot of um frontal attacks what is the term for always forget the term it's like head attack head attacks so a lot of head attacks and then you want to be there to counter so you will be kind of positioning in front of the boss and you can kind of just tank a lot of mechanics so i think if you are a tank player you would like the warlord and i do think if you like playing you know support based classes you can still have a lot of fun you know someone that played i never play support in mmos i have a bard all right she's one of my favorites to play yeah there's something about playing a bard that it it feels like you're running a daycare yeah you're watching the little dps's do their thing and you're like oh jimmy don't stand in that attack yeah you'll ping at them to stand in your heel that happens a lot but and and i do want to talk about the heels real fast because again since it's not a holy trinity it's really important that people know that healing is really limited in lost ark and so if you're going into the idea of playing a support you have to be cautious with knowing that it comes with a caveat that healing is not easy you always have to it always comes with a condition in the case of bard if you're healing you're not giving damage buffs they have to choose between the two and if you're a holy knight you can't give burst heals you can only give kill over lucio style hills yeah yeah so for the most part people depend on potions if they mess up and that's because largely in part lost ark is a game about dodging it's it's it's action combat so if a boss is an attack almost always there's a solution to not getting hit by it um and so heals are basically something that only happens when someone messes up whereas in other games there's heel checks and stuff like that that doesn't exist in lost ark yeah having a support is insane though and also touch on the pot thing real quick potions you're limited usually depending on the encounter that you're doing and they're also expensive so when i started playing the game i was ripping pots dude the active ones the ones that you know they're expensive you know like you don't want a pot so i won't do certain content even though it's doable without a support because i'm a cheapo i don't want to spend any of my gold on you know the founders pack has a bunch of potions yeah and people are going to burn through them while leveling up without knowing just how valuable those potions i did that i did that i was ripping purple pots when i was leveling like don't do that just dying on the inside don't do that don't use those save them if you're gonna take them save them but yeah having a support is super valuable and you'll have a great time finding groups doing some of the solo content might be a little bit annoying but not so much i mean i've i've been doing a lot of holy night chaos dungeons for example and it's just fine and then doing guardian raids i always do them as a group you can't you can solo them but it's more interesting it's never recommended yeah i mean you can do them as a dps and it's fun but you know as a you know as a support you'll definitely want to get groups but you'll have no problem for the most part finding groups is a support i'm assuming basically every region there's always there's never been enough supports in the game yeah yeah i do think though that we're gonna have a lot of dps holy nights i know i feel so bad about it because like in every marketing material for the holy night they make it look like he can dps well they have it okay i don't know maybe we'll leave this in or i'll have him cut it up but what does it say here i don't care what do they say about the paladin paladins have a direct line of powers of the gods channeling their ancient might into potent offensive abilities and defensive moves it's just like you know it seems like they do big damn and you can do some damn but you're not there to do big damn so if you're looking to play a rep paladin the holy knight probably ain't it but you know whatever unfortunately there's no dps meters so you'll you'll never know yeah you could just oh you won't be in the you won't be in the family portrait but okay so really quickly i want to talk about the difference between melee and ranged this is the second time i'm recording this by the way um i know that in a lot of mmos a lot of players find that range is a lot easier to get used to like boss patterns mechanics usually you can see a lot more on the screen but in lost ark you have this overhead view so everyone kind of shares the same viewpoint for the most part and i know for myself i started the game as a melee and found range to be a bit more difficult in some of the end game reigns raids but i know this is something that you wanted to touch on so how does melee and rage differ based on the tier between tier 1 content and tier three content okay so i i mean uh and it's not as funny the second time i made it i made a berserker and then recently sorceress came out i love spell casters and and mmos any sort of casting kind of class so i made that transition from melee to range so for the better majority of my time playing the game i played as melee and i always found that the initial part of learning content is very difficult because you know a class like berserker it's a high commit class it's very slow and sluggish and it's very susceptible to getting hit by stuff and among all the warriors he's also technically the squishiest so berserkers in korea there's a meme about them yeah i've heard i've heard this i've heard this meme already now yeah you're either a boomer who's floor pov or you're the giga chad that carries raids and mvps by a mile and it's like 95 in the first one and like five percent the second one and so you know they tend to die a lot because it's like you're learning content but in tier one content bosses are like very slow they're very meticulous and it's not that bad for melee and ultimately what lost star comes down to and this is like probably like if you think about it it's the truest thing once you've learned content you subconsciously think to pre-position in certain ways the moment you see a boss do something so that you have the most amount of time to do damage back or to get in position for a positional or really just to get in a few attacks before the boss does whatever it's going to do again and in the first part of learning content you don't know any of this stuff so you you know you really scramble to find out when you can attack a boss but once you've done it for like hours and hours the boss like blinks and you're like okay it's gonna do this this and this and i can move right here and then i can get all my attacks in without getting hurt at all and that just comes with experience and that's like the deal with melee and in the case of range though range is like i'll just stand out here and just chuck a few fireballs and stuff but even in the case of ranged um because of the way the boss does its attacks so many bosses have attacks that are easier to dodge in melee range so a lot of the times i find my sorceress even though she's a range class i'm playing in melee range regardless just because if i'm playing in range i'm going to get hit by a cone or something that has a half second telegraph that's impossible to dodge if i'm you know too far away yeah yeah i found i found my experience going from melee to range realizing i don't like ranged at all um but that's because i played a gunslinger we'll we'll get to that class in particular in a little bit in my experience with that but yeah so melee and range different play styles obviously um but i think they're both really fun in their own way yeah they're both very viable too i mean i've had no problems mvping on either of them yeah you're a chat i'm the i'm the 95 percent boomer for sure on the circuit dude it's hard but we'll talk about that as well we'll talk about zerker difficulty in a little bit um so with all that melee and ranged picking a support picking a dps let's talk about really quickly before getting into what you know touching on the classes themselves let's talk about party buffs utility overall damage because not every class that does the most damage is you know damage isn't everything right utility is a big part of the game i learned that early on with just impairment skills for example um basing your groups you know based on that which which which class brings damage buffs which class brings mobility buffs things like that so this is something that i would like to learn even more about even though i've been learning a lot about it can you break down the importance of party buffs utility and damage and how those differ amongst classes all right so you know among the highest level of content in the game sometimes people ask okay why don't you bring this class that you know it's known as like why don't you just bring all of that class and then like two supports and what it pretty much comes down to is that having a mixed set of party buffs that can stack with each other will usually have a much greater bearing than having just a class that's like strong there's raw strong um and different classes bring different things enough so so much to the point where there's not really any classes that are left out so some class some classes like uh like warlord or or sorcerers or destroyer they have fantastic destruction and there are certain mechanics in the game especially in the late game where you want to have destruction just to just because there's there's checks where if you don't do it the boss becomes significantly harder or there's the case of neutralization damage you play berserker it has one of the highest neutralization ratings in the game and you've seen how basically every raid boss that you've encountered in the end game has some sort of neutralization check and i'm i'm not just talking about like the end game and tier three but even in the lower end game you remember yeah rohandal it was the same thing yeah that was fun though so so people have to learn really quickly about the importance of neutralization um there's different kind of party buffs there's uh party boats that are up all the time there's party buffs that are really powerful but they're only up for really small windows and those those are called burst synergies where you know you have to time them with everyone else when everyone else has their stuff as opposed to the small buffs which are just you apply it and you don't have to think about it because it's up all the time and so people who pick those classes need to be mindful that if you pick up a burst synergy you know it's very reliant on knowing when you should use them the boss goes down or the buff uses their buff and you you always time your buff based off of their buff since they're the the support so it's something to keep in mind when you make that choice what kind of synergy you're working with and what kind of traits your skills have even something so much as counter skills which is the more advanced mechanic of the game for beginners uh they they recently added um parriable attacks on all of the lower level content uh even though we're powering down yeah i've seen some of the guardian raids yeah so so all the players from na and eu they will go through all these contents where there's variable attacks that they can do now and it's something to know that certain classes have better counters to parry those attacks than others as well so there's all these different like little nuanced things that you need to take into consideration consideration about the class beyond always is it ranged and how much damage it does it's all these little extra factors yeah i'll have a document down below i think i have one with all the different synergies and party buffs and does your is your your encyclopedia that you have online cover all of this or no yes it does so i'll have that linked below saint has like an insane just overview of the game in general so i'll have that linked below so you guys can kind of look through some of these if you're interested they give you an idea of how some of these work and which classes have what i think i have something as well so okay so with all that in mind i wanted to give you a rundown of just how you know classes differ from one another in terms of just like in general in the game but i really wanted to touch on this point because it's something that i noticed a lot coming to this game so if you're at least from wow and a lot of other games too it's not just wow just any game in general within just the gaming space there's just like tier list andes and um you know just what's the best class what class does the best damage which one's the best between these two and i wanted to talk about the importance of really picking what you like versus picking what's the best or what do you think is the best because that stuff can kind of just change overall maybe you can share a story based on your experience you know i think sork is an example of a class that was really insane out the gate what got buffed and was insane then got nerfed and just making sure you pick what you like but more so i want to talk about we'll get to that as well but bring the player not the class and why don't we start with a story of maybe you have an example of a class that destroyer could be one in a class that was insane and then people would swap over to it then it gets nerfed and then maybe you feel bad about your decision this has happened so many times in the last year already where you know something meta appeared that would just seem so insane then everyone flocked to that class i can count four situations off the top of my head already there was a case of summoner at the beginning of season two she just seemed so powerful um because because all the content was new and it was the shift of systems that oriented towards living in raids versus doing damage and summoner was just so versatile at that i mean we'll talk about that when we talk about the class yourself and then she ended up eating nerfs she had multiple nerfs actually multiple patches in a row and all the people that rolled summoner all of a sudden you know they didn't feel great then there was a case of soulmaster and soulmaster is this hilarious class that's basically goku from dragon ball z and there was there was an engraving called initiative at the time and the way that initiative works i actually meant to tell you about this engraving because it makes chaos dungeons super fun the way the way it works is that when you hit an enemy that has max hp the attack is a guaranteed crit and it gets um up to 100 it gets 160 additional crit damage huge chaos dungeons okay so it's an opener attack and you know in chaos it would just obliterate everything on the first hit you don't even need crit chance because everything's a guaranteed crit but previously it used to work on bosses so what people would do is they would take a soul master just buff the living hell out of her and then she would open the fight with a spirit bomb yeah and there were all these videos floating around of like bosses dying instantly in one hit and then there was the k and there was the most extreme case of reaper a class that's not in n a and e right away she was so over tuned at the gate and this coincided with the huge population boom of lost ark so all the new players that came in they were like wow this class is insane they all rolled reaper and then reaper took like a 30 40 nerf in a single patch and all of a sudden people didn't feel so great about it anymore you know it's like a avengers meme and you know people dropped out of the class even though today she's extremely competitive still and they didn't change anything that's how much that nerf was warranted so you know all these stories it's basically saying how people flock to a class and then found out that after it was adjusted because small gate does these adjustments fairly regularly several times a year in fact um you know you can't just pick off of meta you have to play something that you genuinely like it even happened with sorceress sorceress there were so many of them and now there's so few because she eat nerfs and she's just kind of frustrating to play yeah yeah i think that's something that uh although it's maybe a bit easier to get alts going in this game and they're not it's not too punishing in making alts i think it's important to play what you like um because for me as a player that's been playing for a couple months now and i've been going through all the raids in the game and trying to do all the most difficult content i can do i've never once thought about like oh i don't want to bring this class uh i don't want to take this class you know i don't you know it's much different than my experience playing wow and it might be similar to final fantasy where it's bringing the player not the class so well what is it like and wow are there builds that are just straight up dead oh this is so many classes that are straight up dead really yeah there's classes that are just dead for sure i haven't played a while in 14 years how many classes are there now even in that game uh i can't remember on top of my head it's like well the specs are like their own classes as well yeah there's a huge difference i mean maybe to 12 or something i can't remember on top of my head but there's there's you know a handful of classes but you know i would just be looking all right like we need damage i want a fire mage okay i want the best healer i'm looking for disc priest or druids or disparities or paladins for example you don't want to bring anything else other than that so in this game it's just not like that i mean you know i think people would be will be very surprised to see that like for a class that has for a game that has like over 20 classes and there's always more coming in it's surprisingly well balanced yeah yeah yeah so don't worry too much about that and just play what you enjoy for sure i think that's going to be as cheesy as it sounds and it's like oh just play what you like man i was the guy in wow telling people don't play what you like it's a it's a rip i would i would say that in my videos because you're just not going to play the game but in this game i honestly think you can just kind of play what you like so and this this is also really important for people that are coming in from games like path of exile by the way because uh anyone who plays like a seasonal game like that you know you take like a couple months off from the game when when a new when a new league starts up you're on a blank slate a lot of stark though it's a long-term game you're building up the same character for literally years so you really have to make sure that you like the idea of the class more so than its capabilities yeah it'll change over time right the class might go up and go down so even even if it's not based off patches it could be like oh they introduced a new gear set and all of a sudden dps bart is viable and it's like yeah yeah the sets are important so we'll talk about that in another video that we're doing i think so okay so let's kind of hop into um just keeping all of that in mind into the classes themselves so i'm gonna try my best to not spend too much time on each class but i'll give you some insight on what i've learned playing with these classes how they vary in pve and pvp content um and yeah just give you you know give you an idea if that class might be for you so we're gonna start with the warrior first and that's gonna we're gonna talk about the classes that will be out at launch okay not the classes that won't be out at launch the ones that will be out at launch so for the warrior we have the holy knight the berserker and the warlord or gun lancer holy night or paladin i'm gonna mess these names up because i'm not used to them but sucks yeah it is what it is the names aren't that great in my opinion some of them aren't good but whatever so paladin first uh i'll give some insight for really quickly that class in particular was the one that i really wanted to play because they look like chad's the picture of the thing it was a dps no no i didn't think it was a dps um because i learned early on watching a tier list because i came from another game that i learned that there were supports okay okay but i'm a support kind of guy so the holy night in pvp is absolutely insane and that's why i started playing the game the class is nuts right like they're so so strong uh just their shields are so valuable in pvp and also in pv content as well um they're more about peeling for sure that's what i've learned as well but you can definitely add some damage so if you like being an offensive support at least in pvp definitely get that vibe from the holy night and in pve content they're very fun to play some people would say that they're boring but those are the people that i would say don't like playing a support you know i i enjoy supporting my teammates you know i enjoy um adding utility to the group and saving people if they're about to die so i like the holy night a lot and it's a really strong class um what i would say though overall and maybe this is a not this is not a fair statement but i do prefer bards a little bit more when i'm going through content i haven't done before i'm not sure if that's a fair statement because the holy night feel like the heels are not the lucio heel is does not feel as powerful as the barred heel and that's because it's so small you don't notice so yeah it's very tiny whereas the bar heals up yeah so yeah so holy night's really fun um and i definitely enjoy the class especially for pvp but what do you think about the holy knight and who do you think it's for the holy night is for people who want to be like a like a buff tower just moving around pretty much if you want to feel like a badass while also like dishing out buffs you know holy night's a good choice i mean in terms of support especially some of y'all pick based off of like even gender yeah so if you want to play a guy support a paladin is like right up your alley but paladin's also in general he came out way later than the other classes so his general design and aesthetic is gorgeous yeah everything everything looks and sounds really cool with him um and then in pvp as you touched on before he's a very offensive support um i i should we should just mention this in general but in pvp the supports can also actually dish out a reasonable amount of damage because of the way that the skill sets are designed it's not like rating where supports really struggle to put out any damage so they just focus on support in pvp their skills can actually chunk another player pretty hard because everyone's on an even playing field without things like engravings and whatnot so yeah um yeah paladin is a really good choice i will say that with the caveat of paladin though he does not start with his support uh awakening on launch he actually has to get to item level 400 and do a four hour long quest in order to get that shield awakening yeah whereas bart starts with her support awakening right away so you'll have to actually play with your dps uh ultimate skill for a little while unless you're going to be the rep palette and then you're chilling you know just go out there with the big damn awakening some people are listening four hour quests yeah i'm just gonna be a rep paladin man yeah so they are they're really fun though honestly holy night's gonna be one of the classes that i play i've enjoyed it a lot and i think if you're someone that likes playing an offensive healer you'll really like the holy night and the clasp sets look great you mentioned that some people prefer playing with bards and on prague content i prefer playing with holy knights really because they will always heal you they don't have to make that choice between healing and uh and dps buff and they have a cleanse bar does not have a class yeah that's true that is true i also don't have to stand in that specific spot and they don't have to yell at me to ping to stand in this little circle so that's also okay barts tend to be a little bit pushier they are they they paying so much like one ping is fine i've i heard it the pig system whatever okay zerker berserker this is the class that i didn't want to play let's play this yeah both of us played this this was the class that i didn't want to play i don't spend too much time on it because it is my class i don't want to keep it biased but i wanted to be a holy knight ended up playing the zerker and uh the zerker in my experience is everyone said it's going to be an easy class it was not easy i was lied to the zerker is uh slow and clunky early on yep but it's all about landing your burst windows however it feels much better like i'm sure all classes do but in particular the zerger feels so much better once i started getting my sets my runes higher amounts of specialty somewhere i guess to the holy night but it felt so much better but it's in pvp as well it's definitely not going to be the class that you think you're going to run in there and just deal like you do a lot of damage but again you're similar to the holy night you're kind of waiting for people to initiate so that you can initiate because a lot of your openers are a bit predictable in my experience i think it depends a little bit depending on like the quality of players you're playing oh yeah they call the berserker the noob stomper yeah for sure yeah that's so true that is so true because early on you can just steamroll i think early on an n a zerker will be crazy off the gate you will uh but i think when you get players that are it's just so easy to see what the zerker's gonna do it's a very it's the same opener same finishing skills so um yeah overall i think the circus is a great class but i don't think anyone should fall for the idea that it's this easy class to play because i i personally don't think it is because you're just the slower you are the harder it is to deal damage and you have to really know your burst windows is that a fair generalization your experience would have been very different if madness was available right from the game yeah yeah just to explain to people listening madness is one of the class passives that was recently buffed in korea so stephen hasn't been he hasn't had the opportunity to experience it yet but that build it's vastly different from the build that he plays and it it removes a lot of that clunkiness in exchange for always being at low hp so that that just goes in to touch on a completely different subject that you know different classes they can be played in different ways that will feel very different from one another but to your assessment it is very true that the typical and meta and known berserker build it is it has a downtime window where it feels terrible but when he's in his berserker state when he's like red and glowy and crazy you feel invincible during it that's crazy it's really good and i think we can touch on this too with the upcoming classes because we have for the past two how it will feel in tier one content versus tier three content and yeah i i get a good uh statement on that is that when you get more specialty as a zerker certain stats will change your class in different ways you get to stay in that state longer your runaway state a bit longer where you're all glowy and stuff like that so the class feels a lot better and it scales it feels like really well over time so circa i think fantastic class really fun but don't fall for the idea that it's as easy as people make it you know out to be yeah it'll it'll feel okay in tier one where things are like pretty tame it gets harder okay warlord or gun lancer same class uh i love playing with this class why don't you talk a little about the warlord gun lancer it's my favorite class to group up with it is the odd man out because it's the only first of all it doesn't if people look at it they're like oh it's a tank he's a dps he's a dps that can also flex into the role of support and he's the only class in the game that can do that depending on the way you play him he just sits in attacks and doesn't care about mechanics for the longest time we've called him the most op class in the game yeah because he's just good in every content um in the case of pvp it's a little bit different because he his kit did not i guess age well against a lot of the newer classes so it can be harder to climb with him but in like a pre-made comp like it's a tournament setting because and then you will have a lot of tournaments of course he can be ridiculously good if the person who's playing behind him knows how to peel efficiently with him yeah a lot of the tearless andes do you think that warlord will be good early on in n a and i think if you find a few of them online i'm sure you've looked them up if you're watching this video they have them pretty high up in the tier list uh they just bring the shield is so strong your your group wide shield is so strong i mean essentially your teammates are immune to damage and uh they deal like good damage they're super durable and they just i would like you know every group when i have like a you know bard and a holy a bard and a warlord or a bard or a holy knight and a gun lancer uh it's just they're insane so i think that if you're someone that's looking to pick up a class that can kind of do it all you like the support vibe but you want to deal damage you can be thrown into any group i think you'll have a great time on the class overall however i do think the leveling probably isn't the most enjoyable experience but that was at least how i felt it's a little rough until you get into your 20s then you get a spell that like it's called like guardian thunder or something and it's like an aoe skill so it gets a little bit better um but you know touching on that point whenever i look for daily parties to do like raid content with i always like to see it as a reward oh they're so great they're so insane my favorite class to play with okay so that's the warriors those those are the warriors those are some of my favorite classes in the game i either love playing with them or love playing as them let's talk about the martial artists or fighters starting with the striker i think this class is going to be super popular in n a everyone loves playing it and i've never played one but they look incredibly fun however some people have some negative things to say about the striker in terms of pvp and pve so do you think that's warranted do you think that the class is a little much of an is it somewhat of an underperformer um so as far as pvp goes it's kind of it's it's fairly warranted because his kit is a little bit lacking that's where engagement goes because uh lost ark pvp specifically has always kind of favor the meta has really shifted towards like these poking classes especially a lot of the newer classes that really excel at this uh and and striker does not have a lot of super armor options or like ways to really fight in close range and contest in trades and people on that range he's excellent at harassing and in 1v1 he's hilariously good if the person operating him um is is good in pve you know you would think that he's since he's a gender unlocked that he should play exactly like the war dancer class but i found his playstyle to be very frustrating because of the skills that changed were they they required you to be in a certain spot to charge up and to hit in a positional and it just didn't feel fun to me it put out huge numbers but it didn't feel fun to me yeah with all that being said though i just cleared we just did be a kiss today and i think in all of my raids i've always brought my friend encore as a striker so yeah i mean i mean first of all it has a top tier synergy so he has an amazing party buff and then second of all if the person is good with him he'll make an mvp on it it's it's a super strong class in the right hands but it takes a person who likes that play style yeah to enjoy playing it super mobile like in pvp as well like i've gotten smashed by good strikers just because they're i'm not used to them yet you know so because they just came to ru so overall you know again like take all of this with a grain of salt we're just giving you some insight on the class in particular but you'll hear you will hear things about strikers not being so amazing in pve or pvp content but again i've done all the raids that i can do and i'm moving on to doing cuckoo satan with a striker so just kind of keep that in mind as well with that being said let's talk about the battle master which is like the female counterpart or the war dancer uh to the striker i mean it's just gonna be a thing i don't know it's people are gonna have to get used to it at this point there'll be times people who are youtubing like these names and they're like yeah what do i put do i put strikes do i put war dance or striker i mean whatever i'm wondering or wardancer or battlemaster what do i do in the in the on youtube like what are they gonna be searching i guess word answer right yeah well yeah yeah they don't know the name battlemaster okay so wardancer the female counterpart to the striker how does that differ from the striker you touched on it a little bit and what is your experience with it cause i think that was the class that you were considering playing yes uh she's a really underrated class because she's always been kind of overshadowed by some of the other classes despite being a really top like a fantastic class to play with she's one of the classes that if i see is in my party i immediately get really excited because one she's very reliable because he's an agility based class and we can go back for a second in the case of striker while he does have an agility build that recently became viable most people play him in his specialization build and so they don't have very high agility and they're very slow and kind of clunky battlemaster on the other hand her meta build that you know a lot of people play is really high in agility so she's quick and she's snappy and she gets her rotations in quickly uh i do think that she's a very high skill ceiling class in pve because of certain timings that you need with um some some of her skills and the way that she works is she has a buff that she can buff her own damage by 55 by six for six seconds and you have to get all your damage in in that six seconds and so you know timing everything with her can be kind of difficult um so she's always been considered a really powerful class and she even received quite a bit of nerves recently because i saw that she yeah just her reliability is so high she's so and most people player can you know they'll dodge everything and they'll do the damage that they're expected from them while giving excellent buffs and pvp on the other hand though she actually is considered an inferior version of the striker class which as we just discussed some people they don't look favorably upon it so it's just a little bit tougher even though she's one of the best harassers in the game she doesn't have all the tools that um are needed she used to be top tier and yeah they got their vp they got nerfed they took a really heavy nerf that just it made it so hard to play her and especially in a growing environment with these new classes coming in that just abuse you at a range there is somebody on ru i'm not gonna remember his name that poor soul i feel so bad but i know blinks plays with him a lot and he's insane at world dancer so again you know this is always with the caveat that if you're an incredible player you could make what people consider a bad class and bring it into grand master or bring it into the the hell mode raids yeah you know every class is capable of both being a top pvper and a top pv year yeah can't stress that enough yeah so just giving you some insight okay soul fist this is the class that i really wanted to play because i love dragon ball z and it's literally the goku class you you have a spirit bomb and you have like you know you have like super saiyans dances and stuff like that so i asked you about this class and you had mentioned that um you know it it can feel a little awkward based on your identity gauge so can you talk about that but more so how do you feel about the class i know they're great in pvp especially and they're they're good i'm good at pvp they're good in all forms of content yeah um how do they perform in tier one content and what do you think about the class overall so in the case of soul master i have one and i rarely play her i actually didn't enjoy her play style because it was you know she's kind of a mid-range close range fighter in pde and then she has this huge reliance on landing her ultimate skill and it's it's literally a spirit bomb anyone who's watching this video is probably at some point or another scene in class showcase where jumps in the air raises her hand uh two hours later chuck's a spirit bomb and then you know if the enemy's there fantastic if it went to go get a coffee well you missed yeah and so it's it's it has this huge reliance on both her identity gauge because that's where all of her damage is inside her they call it hype in an eu that's what her identity is called her hype state don't laugh but i i i i i was like hype one hype two type three right yeah that's exactly what it is uh so when when you're in that that state your your damage is basically unparalleled it's it's super high but then there's the down time and unlike berserker who as time goes on his his identity state grows and he can stay in his berserk state longer no matter how much you raise your soulmaster it's like a set period of time where she's in that state and then a set cooldown time where she's not in that state and i didn't enjoy the time where she was not in that state i didn't enjoy having to land that alt because you know it literally takes like six seconds to chuck that thing and you never know what a boss is gonna do in six seconds if it's going to teleport away or back step or something and i didn't like having that reliance on it that being said when we cleared albert there was a soul master in her party and they did mvp often and so it's the kind of class where if you practice on it her damage is ridiculous she has the single hit hardest hitting attack in the game so if you want to see like massive numbers as well you know that's that's a class you can play okay okay so scrapper or infighter uh this class is like the og of lost ark a lot of people refer to it as that at least i've heard it's like i don't personally i didn't enjoy leveling the class i started leveling it i stopped you just have half your skills then you go into the other half i don't know i didn't really enjoy that aspect of the class but maybe you could sell me on scrapper and fighter you know it's a class that i haven't actually played that i do plan on playing in the beta because my chat voted on it did it really win that vote okay okay yeah i'm not enthusiastic about that but they did vote on that so but i've played with in fighters as well minion fighter she is actually the most popular fighter class in korea uh and she's considered the gold standard of balance basically there has never been a time ever ever where she's been in a bad position and it kind of feels like that they balance the game around her basically um and that's in pve specifically pvp is another story but in in pve she's always been really good and she has two viable builds that are very distinct from one another one that's quick and snappy and the other one that's based around big burst damage so there's there's options for people who play her who want that like heavy-handed punching style punch man style yeah exactly and and you know want options as well that they can change it later on down the line if they wish pvp when it comes to in fighter i think at some point or another we've all had that experience of a pb of an infighter or a scrapper rushing in our face and locking us down he's an incredible harasser but she also suffers from that problem where her kit didn't evolve well with the game and so in a 3v3 format she's often rendered vulnerable against a lot of these newer classes but that being said in like 1v1 or just in a just like casual 3v3 she's she's great at locking someone down if she if they don't receive peel or assistance yeah and we won't have a lot of those newer classes at this gate right so no scouter yeah of course no uh lance master nor arkana no i mean all the classes that are annoying in pvp won't be in the game they'll do really well in pvp right at the gate i think all the classes will to be honest i feel like i don't worry too much about that but it should really be pointed out as well that if if because we're talking about pve pvp but in pve when you pick a class you're you're stuck with that class pretty much it's really hard to reroll out of it as we talked about before but in pvp if you want to play something else it literally takes like three or four years yeah you don't have to base your man off of pvp as much as you kind of just play like i'm not playing zerker in pvp i'll touch on that when we get to the class i'm not playing zerker in pvp but i don't have to worry about that i like zerker and pve um and again you know whatever you want yeah also fair to note that when we talk about the ability to reroll we more so mean it when you get to the deeper end game of the game you know when you've invested a lot of time on your character then it's kind of locked in but early on i don't think they should worry too much right yeah it's pretty easy early on yeah we're talking about like myserker for example i put a lot of time into him at this point so and that's not even a lot right i put almost four months into them i'm not trying to re-roll off my zerker at this point so yeah but yeah in pvp you just have to get to like level 26 or 27 and then you're it's equalized so you're on the same footing as anyone else so if you're like ah i hate my class in pvp but that class looks cool three or four hours later you have that class in pvp you're ready to go on it and yeah you could be a thought or andy be a father mandy at that point so yeah okay the gunner class right the gunner class it's not okay got her hawkeye without the gun [Laughter] okay let's talk about hawkeye because this is the class that i also so many of the classes in this game i've wanted to play i've wanted to play sam's name because of like concerns with marvel is that what it is okay sharpshooter sharpshooter um everyone says this class is boring is this true because i mean in pvp i would say they're oh huh i tried him out in jp i thought it was super boring but they buffed him a lot and they gave him an extra attack and i i think that my experiences with that at the time aren't valid anymore because i think he looks a lot more interesting now yeah i've heard in pvp you know from a lot of my friends uh they're they're pretty decent they're not like you know they're not like bottom tier uh they're decent and they're gonna it's like a good mid elo harasser yeah i i i always see a lot of hawkeyes in that like like gold to plot range and um if you've ever been a pvp that loves being a mosquito yeah and you just love being really annoying so annoying dude they're so annoying it's a great class if that's if that's your thing okay so then how do they perform in pve pve they're one of the true range classes of the game so uh because all of his damage is concentrated in just a few ranged attacks he can actually spend a lot of time kind of meticulously positioning himself to get ready for the next attack a lot of attacks keep them rooted in place so you have to be in the right position to really do attacks and actually i should really point this out range to cl range classes don't use positionals so they don't have back attack they don't have head attack they can attack from any angle basically all melee classes in the game do use positionals so there's an advantage to attacking from the front or the back depending on the classes and skills the hawkeye is a true range class and so you can spend a lot of time studying the the boss and getting in the right spot and then doing your damage and rinse cycle and repeat um so he's good for people who really want that ranged uh playstyle for real yeah you this cool sniper shot that you load up the sound effect on that's really cool and then you got the bird so it was a class that i really wanted to play because in maple story i always wanted to play a bowmaster i think it was or they were so cool okay artillerist or blaster uh i know this class is going to be really annoying for a lot of people in pvp out the gate because it was super annoying for me i know that you love abuse people yeah i know you love playing at lts so um but i know that in pve content they can tank a lot of mechanics that have some utility and shielding correct and then they also sometimes are a bit stationary and i've had some of my friends that try to hop on a artillerist and they end up dying to a lot of the mechanics because they're just seeded into the ground so how good are they in pve and who do you think the class is for arguably one of the most underrated classes and underplayed classes but in a really really really good one as you mentioned he's very tanky in fact of all the gunners he's the tankiest gunner of them all and maybe your friends didn't get to play a really geared one but the the top end builds for an artillerist use full agility for the most part so a really geared one they they're pretty quick but you know their attacks have a time delay on them so you place the attack and then a couple seconds later yeah the damage comes out and so that can be frustrating at times because as we mentioned boss attack boss patterns they're random so sometimes you just you can't control it the boss will do a backstep and then anyone who has a time delayed attack that's placed in that spot it'll just miss um but he's been well known to be an incredibly incredibly powerful prague class just because of how reliable and how durable he is while doing very competitive damage and high neutralization ratings and all that kind of stuff but he's he's the perfect class for someone who wants to play like a kind of an underdog class or if you want to be a hipster and play something that's like really really good that no one's really playing that should be right up your alley i was gonna say i was gonna say it fits you well with the beanie but then i'm wearing a beanie so don't know i'm wearing a beanie because he's wearing a beanie okay and he's wearing glasses because i'm wearing glasses yeah i need them and my eyes are getting messed up okay yeah it's bad i'm getting old okay so gunslinger and we'll touch on devil let's do gunslinger and devil hunter at the same time just for time's sake so gunslinger really quickly you hear a lot of good things about them in pvp if you've been playing the game at all on ru you probably are um you found them to be super annoying right they'll lock you down they do a ton of damage however i picked up one and i quickly realized it is not the class for me they're absolutely insane they bring so much damage but with all of that mobility that you have at least on the gunslinger it's very they're so squishy so it's very easy to be floor pov and it's probably one of the classes this is my a little bit of elitism coming out that i'll be reluctant to bring into my groups early on in the game because i know how difficult it was for me to pick up the class not that it's hard to switch between the guns but it's just you run i feel like i was running into so many mechanics but it was so fun to play because i was doing so much damage so i'll let you touch on it but i do want to say that from my experience playing other mmos it's a very at least a gunslinger it feels like a very high apm class so if you really like that high apm and you're just like you know getting really engaged with your class i don't think any class does it better and i think it's honestly in my experience one of the most fun classes to play but it's taxing it was a lot for me and i still play it it's just yeah it's a little it's a lot insane in both types of content but gunslinger and devil hunter are classes for people who really want to show off because good ones are are incredible uh they they just they press so many buttons because unlike other classes most classes only have eight skills plus their ultimate skill plus their identity skills around 10 skills these classes have 16 skills that they're working with across three different stances which are buttons to press in and over themselves and so it's a really high skill ceiling class in general and as you mentioned they are the squishiest they have the lowest hp and defense coefficient in the game the damage that they do is incredible devil hunter is for people who want to play a close ranged uh positional based um shotgun character his shotgun is his main form of damage and basically all this damage is packed into that while the gunslinger is more versatile her shotgun is weaker than the devil hunters but her sniper rifle is far stronger and in both cases their pistols are for applying debuffs and mobility yeah so gunslinger may feel a little bit better to play because again they're both squishy but she has the ability to attack from any direction she doesn't have any positions to worry about the devil hunter because he's such a squishy class and he has to always basically be behind the enemy it can be a little bit tougher to play him so he is for people who are looking for a challenge yeah that want to play something that they could really excel and and show off on as i mentioned yeah that's definitely when you're gonna grief so when i'm when i'm on my gunslinger it's always the shotgun when i die because it's like i have to get in there to do it you know you're switching between your pistols to get the buff up or whatever or the debuff and then you switch over to your sniper and it's you're good right at a range it's a buff right yeah they have they have a great crit buff because it's a constant synergy so everyone just always has ten percent more crit when they're playing with those classes so fun such a fun class but yeah it's definitely going to be a challenging class if you're open for that high ibm class and you you want a challenge uh it's super fun and there's a lot of cool videos out there for them of them soloing content and it's it's a fun class to watch and to play just challenging yep okay mages not that many to talk about here i know a lot of people are waiting for sork because there's just not really that traditional mage class yet um hopefully that comes soon i'd hope so but let's talk about the bard first since uh you know it's a class that insane in pvp however i would say that getting into the game having a support in general in pvp is so nice because because it is solo queue but i would say that the holy knight might have an easier time because the bard isn't going to bring out as much damage as the holy night and i think that you're going to be really reliant on your teammates as any support but in pve content also just i love playing with bards they're so great to play alongside of can you share any of your experience with the board and how do they perform early on in tier one content uh so one thing that is kind of rough about bars early on is that it's remember how we talked about berserker and how it needs gear to really you know build up its its uh his berserker state bard unfortunately there's there's some similarities drawn there because because of the lack of gearing early on it's very difficult for her to build up her identity quickly to apply things like the heels and whatnot and also she needs her class engraving and all that kind of stuff for the heels to even feel really good in the first place so early on your your role is really just applying the buffs to your allies and as we mentioned at the beginning of the show um support's always their primary role is giving attack buffs so that they that their weight in the party is equal to or greater than if you had brought a fourth damage dealer uh that being said it feels really good she has so many tools to prevent damage to allies and there's no greater feeling than giving someone a shield and then seeing them get hit and then you're like i got you yeah yeah i'm looking out for you yeah and then later on the playstyle evolves and she's able to build up her identity gauge really quickly and she can put out heels quickly and at that point she is almost like that traditional healer from other games but at the end of the day she's still making that choice between oh do i you know give them a big damage buff or do i give them heels and so um there is decision making involved uh also i should really mention this while the entry point for a bard is really low it's very easy to get into it is another class that is a really high skill ceiling there are skills that you can time to save someone in a life or death emergency so if someone's about to die you can place a small circle underneath them and just completely save them and that requires really fast reaction time so you could feel incredible if you're if you get good at that and then the other thing is if you buff someone and they don't have skills available then your buff is useless right you have to understand with a bard the right moments to give buffs to your allies so that they are at their strongest at the most opportune moments and so there is a bit of learning as a bard player what other classes do and also boss patterns the best times to give those buffs yeah there's a lot to learn as a bard that you can that you can master it with the game's really about burst windows for sure so you know maybe you'll be using voice chat in-game voice chat and you guys can communicate when you you know when you're getting ready to deal damage when you have those bursts went out hey they don't have to ping anymore yeah they could scream at their teammates and stuff yeah yeah okay good bard's insane though so if you're looking forward to playing that class also some of the best skins in the game in my opinion so okay summoner really good in pvp if you leave the summoner alone they will just wreck the entire team the phoenix just obliterates the entire team um also good in pve content i know right now they're looking really strong in korea right that's what i've heard from a few people that people are saying summoners look really strong is this true yeah so you remember how i mentioned how they were really op at the beginning of season two yeah she's always had this thing about her that nothing could ever replace and that is a part of her damage is based off of summons and so while she's running around dodging attacks your summons are just like slapping the boss yeah doing damage passively so part of her damage not all of it but part of her damage is always automated so she's always been very good in product-based content and she is also another true ranged class so she has that benefit of being able to attack from a distance not worry too much about those learning the patterns as much as just tossing attacks out there and just kind of moving between patterns so she's always been in a fairly good spot and she was a very desirable class and still is when new content comes out because she's reliable yeah and then in pvp as you mentioned if you if you let her free cast your team will win obliterate the entire team yeah so if you're waiting for like sork or a more mage like class summoner might be your best bet for the time being so not really like a warlock i don't know how to describe the class it's like it's a summoner that's the best way to describe the class so yeah definitely a really good option a lot of my friends are gonna be playing summoner for pvp at least and they're great in pve content as well okay on to the assassins now uh let's start with the blade or death blade not sure why just you could just call it blade yeah that's fun okay so this class i have a bone to pick within pvp so as cheesy as this sounds i started with the blade it was the first class that i had picked up when i started playing on lost dark are you about four months ago or so came back to it just the other day after he's getting tired of playing circuit because the cooldowns are really long and i didn't enjoy it that much that's one of the biggest gripes with zerker that class is insane it's absolutely i can in tier one in tier one or the launch of the game blade seems insane it's just zerker but way better in pvp and i know this is like that's my gripe and i'm playing that class in pvp because it's nuts dude it's got so much super armor so much mobility the cooldowns are so low people people do kind of complain that her kit is overloaded and it's been this way since she was released yeah you know it almost makes no sense how she can basically contest in a super armor fight with like a destroyer yeah it's like and then come out on top while also putting out ridiculous damage she's she's insane when it comes to like in a close range fight there's there's almost no class that can stand up to her except for like maybe lance master but that's not even out for a while who knows but with that i wanted to play one and i remember a long time ago watching a video translated from korean like it was a korean video translated to english and people say that blade isn't that great in pve i know they got some changes they have this burst build you can touch on that however somebody did tell me then so much misinformation which is why i wanted to make this in tier one content blade is really good so is this true is blade not the best class in pve or what is your experience with blade i know you have one you've been trying one out i've been watching your stream so what do you think about the blade in general for pve content first of all i don't think there's a huge difference between tier one and tier three as far as her viability goes okay she's always been like okay in pve not not nothing crazy but the problem is in lost ark because nothing is bad anything that's okay is basically yeah it's not bad yeah yeah there's no like there's not like bad decent good there's just decent and good in a lot of cases uh but she did receive a lot of buffs recently and one of the bus made it so that she kind of fits in with party comps a little bit better because previously she could only really play with melee just because her party buff attack speed only yeah it it gave head attack and back attack damage oh i'm thinking about the one for pvp you you don't use that same buff i haven't played it in pv you you can't you can use it you do use it in pve as well but her primary damage increasing buff gives 12 more head attack and back attack damage so ranged classes couldn't make use of that but very recently they changed it so that part of it can also apply to all damage okay so she fits in but with other comms better and then she's also received a bunch of buffs across the board but now instead of being like mediocre she's fairly capable and then besides for that as you mentioned i made a blade recently because they made one of her new builds viable the burst build and that one is uh extremely fun for people who just want to make like super big numbers but it is extremely hard to play as well yeah in high-end raids because of the timing required to use your big attack um i think people who play her enjoy her just because of the type of class she is and her aesthetic and the way that her skills are but uh she's not like like the craziest class in pve yeah you'll do fine on her obviously i i i've re she's probably quickly became one of my favorite classes to play even if before i used to say that she was kind of mediocre yeah yeah i mean i've played a lot of content with blades in the past so i haven't noticed anything again again the game is just so different i don't you know i'm sure if you're doing like the most difficult content in the game maybe you start become being a bit more nitpicky but i'm still doing fairly difficult content that most of my chat hasn't even done and i've never thought about jeff 100 dude i'm so tired of the keck w's i'm so tired of the floor povs of course it's a jab i can't wait i cannot wait to get in a group with these guys and do content i cannot i'm gonna i'm gonna spam keck down views in party chat in voice chat chat yeah man i'm tired of it dude it is man i've been getting ripped up okay moving on to uh it's a hard game people will find out rather quickly we'll talk about that in the other video i mean this is going on for a while but yeah all right last class the shadow hunter or demonic uh really good class in pvp i can touch on that has definitely great peeling potential and a lot of poke potential i think it's tool kit does well with the current meta of the game with how much range ability it does have and your demonic form is extremely powerful and that's kind of when you start getting your ability to engage a lot more without getting interrupted as much so super strong class really cool class fantasy and a person came in my chat today and was worried about their pve performance and i said they're just fine so can you touch on that a bit so when it came to pve with uh with with the shadowhunter class um the reason you don't see a lot of them is because in in like other regions for people who are like researching this kind of stuff is because yes for the better majority of season two she was terrible it was during a time where people would reject the class because the person was playing that class but they received a ton of buffs and at this point they're very very competitive and n and eu will be on the balance patch where they're very good not to mention they have two viable builds one where they do transform into that badass uh demon form and then one where they don't transform at all and both are very good in fact when my party week one cleared albert which was an incredibly difficult feat yeah i remember that was pogba we didn't we didn't have one demonic we had two and we had one of each build so it should really paint the class as very very very capable uh in in pve and um also uh the the demon form build is one of the most economic classes in the game and what i mean by that is there's two classes in this game which are extremely budget-friendly because of their itemization later on in future content there's a little bit of a spoiler but they can itemize extremely cheap i'm talking like fractions cheaper than every other class in the game and those two classes are the demon form shadowhunter and the scouter class which i mean we're not going to touch on it because that's why canada has 12 of those yeah it's it's extremely cheap to play those classes and for people who want to play like very efficiently with their money uh and like investing their gold properly without having to go to break the bank to uh to build up their sets you know it's it's it's a it's a great great class now all right that's it that was all the classes a breakdown of what you can expect with classes in lost ark uh how the game works overall there's a lot of info there will be timestamps listed below so you can kind of skip around depending on the topic that you're interested in um saint why don't you give yourself a shout out okay where can they find you it's somewhere on the screen uh you can find me on my uh twitch channel where i really do most of my content

content and also his chats his chat's fantastic so go ahead and hit him up as well thank you guys so much for watching we will be doing another one of these uh breaking down what you can expect going
