Redpill me on Sorcerer. Everyone says they are good but I fail to see that at level 57. What is so good about them?
Logan Wilson
I'd rather not.
Isaac Richardson
are there builds or anything for the classes, I just got the game when it came out on Steamâ„¢ and ive just been getting whatever skills and have no idea if they are good
Nathan Perez
WHERE THE WAIFUS AT?!
Nolan Stewart
You can farm skillpoints, so you're safe to dump them into anything you want since you'll get all of them eventually.
Oliver Hughes
>>but you can't do PvP if you haven't been playing since day 1 because gear is everything hahahahaha you fucking fell for that, dude theres a point where stats plateau, not everyone who plays since day 1 has pen gear in fact most of those people fucking quit LOL
Carter Sanchez
>A lot of places to grind Yeah, all over pirate island.
DK/Witch/Wizard Warrior babbies/Zerker grab monkeys 1v1me bro noscopers tamer/maehwa These classes may as well not exist valk/ninja/kuno/musa I'm so fucking thirsty and can't carry all these mana pots tier: ranger Everyone forgot how great I am when I spin2win: sorceress
Striker is probably busted as fuck because it's new and power creep.
Tyler Fisher
oh snap, neat, I didn't know that, I knew you could respec freely until level 56 but I thought there were actual builds and that some skills were trash
Jace Turner
They have really cute outfits.
Josiah King
It's actually one of the worst awakenings.
Christian Flores
Pretty much this, though I'd argue Ninja is fun as fuck even if it's not broken
William Ward
AAAHHHHHHH WHAT WITCH OUTFIT SHOULD I BUY WITH THE PEARLS I GOT FROM PRE ORDER I STILL HAVENT SPENT THEM
Colton Parker
Striker's fairly shit in PvE, but it has such an insane amount of iframes and mobility it's great in 1v1
Rate the following features that will never be added by the dumb gooks because they don't understand economics.
1. Player to player is added via old school runescape. You must trade items within 10% of an equal amount of total value to successfully trade.
2. Guild storage is added. Only materials and consumables may be put in it. No gear or silver.
3. Max prices on the marketplace are removed for all non pearl items.
Isaac Lewis
Sorc black hole ult deletes whole groups of people at nodes. Complete with high mobility/CC. They're more fragile than warrior/zerk but can still fuck up a whole lot of people if you spin into a group of them.
Connor Butler
>1 Sounds fine, just a general way to upcharge >2 Not really okay, easy way to transfer a lot of liquid cash in the form of raw mats >3 Fuck no. Sharp/Hard are already bought out on the spot. Maybe for pearl items only.
Hunter Miller
>Warrior babbies Warrior has a harder learning curve than DK/Witch/Wizard though.
Austin Wright
buy rakshande and make a bedouin waifu
Levi Carter
>EU guild VideoGames is having a meet-up on sunday
we're a chill/friendly/social guild consisting of other /bdog/ players
if you want to join whisper Yamaraya or Lux01 in-game, we're online most of the time, or come check us out on sunday, no gear or experience requirements, everyone is welcome
Kevin Wood
>guildie complaining how he just needs one more cooking level to artisan but is out of rough stone for ovens and queue for them is 50000 preorders deep >Stare at 3000 stones in my bank
I feel for him.
Joseph Watson
>Max prices are removed for non-pearl items haha, no fuck that. I'm not dropping 800m for a gem or some dumb as fuck pump and dump economy baron's flavor of the week item. 70 mill sharps or hards. Never bother getting anything off the market.
That doesn't mean they're not babs because everything would be harder than faceroll some aoe to delete an army then teleport two football fields away and heal to full if you foolishly took any damage at all.
Jeremiah Bennett
Can I just come and jerk off to you and leave?
Leo Long
can I fap to you in game?
Brody Rodriguez
what outfit should I buy also pls rate my witch
Hudson Price
Steam players can play with non-Steam players right? Trying to convince my friends to play this.
Brandon Martin
Can you give me the rundown on witch awakening skills?
Josiah Garcia
I think your witch had a staring role in a cartoon called the Oblongs.
Yes, the servers are identical. The logins are separate and can't be swapped.
Blake Peterson
>Guildmate working on epheria sailboat >Can't come and chop logs with him
I REALLY wish you could trade mats or something.
Hunter King
Making natural looking eyes in this game has been the hardest shit.
Alexander Sullivan
face is a little too perfectly shaped and sucky hair
6/10 apply yourself
Elijah Brooks
Post an in game pic loser.
Noah Parker
>not just wearing a helm
Christian Hughes
Is there any reason to purchase the game on the bdo website instead of on steam?
Adam Russell
Cool. Thanks.
Hudson Rivera
Don't have to have 2 fucking launches up to play
Lucas Price
at 56 and 57 Equilibrium Break, Fissure Wave and Detonative Flow are your best damage dealers, throw in Thunder Storm and Voltaic Flow as filler
remember to put down your Toxic Flood with E
at 58 your Thunder Storm gets its Flow and the damage increases massively
Yoke of Ordeal is pretty useless until 59, where it becomes one of your best PvP skills through Flow
Voltaic Flow becomes a beast at 60, but getting there is gonna take you a while
from the old skills i'd recommend getting Healing Aura, Healing Lighthouse and Spellbound Heart for self-sustain, Teleport for mobility, Magical Shield and Protected Area are your defensive buffs, mostly used for PvP, but Magical Shield comes in handy in PvE as well
Aaron Walker
How did i do boys?
Colton Rodriguez
>tfw you can't decide what class to play in combat/pvp so you just lifeskill instead Making the push to 59 or 60 and not enjoying the class entirely just seems like too much pressure. Id only ever want to do it once until they make it easier when 2nd awakening releases. How did you guys find your mains? Nothing clicks with me no matter what I try.
Zachary Reed
picked the cutest one
Levi Adams
default with different hair/10
You can swap all non-awakened and some of the MH/OH items, so just play whatever.
Tri is good enough for 95% of the pve in the game. Just do what you find fun.
Hudson Lewis
I tried ranger on the JP release and fell in love with its movement style (camera locks).
Guess I just got lucky in that the awakening just happened so answer some of the "problems" I had with the class. Nothing else has been quite as fun.
Joshua Taylor
RUDE!
how di I fix her hair
Sorry I am changing her right now
Brayden Bell
oh what the fuck i loaded a different model from the beauty salon and then customized her to that, guess I'm rocking a default then.
Robert Hughes
Jhingyi
i couldn't think of anything at the time
Lucas Gomez
>tfw tried to make Kevin Sorbo from Hercules The Legendary Journeys for the striker >tfw have no creativity at all and dont know how to customize well >default + bald + beard
such is life
Daniel Jones
>everyone is having trouble enjoying a class awakened >meanwhile i can't find a class to main because they are all fun
Liam Turner
>How did you guys find your mains? Picked the manliest one.
Luis Bennett
ok blade boques
Ayden Wright
How about skill addons for the awakened?
Ian Parker
>the only fun I found in this game way playing eurobeat and racing other wagons while trading
Cooper Price
i'm using Equilibrium Break +20 attack vs monsters and bleed damage and Thunder Storm +20 attack vs monsters and burn dmg
Ayden King
I like ranger but I can't make the movement style work for me. How did you practice? Are you on NA by chance? Could use another ranger to talk to.
Mason Hughes
Cute, would adventure with!
Brody Roberts
I want to pick this game up, but the only class I seems to like (Dark Knight) apparently gets utterly dumb spam gameplay after the Awakening, how true is this? I want to decide before the -40% offer is up.
Julian Young
I use the warm filter I also take screenshots in 8k resolution and resize them to 1920x1080
Henry Lopez
Everything goes full retard at awakening but its the only way to stay competitive.
Adrian Hill
Do you think a marketplace maid is worth it?
Lincoln Wood
it saves you the trouble of swapping to an alt to buy pearl items so yes
Ryder Morgan
Fuck. Even the sorceress?
Aaron Gutierrez
Changing your hair color won't stop me from finding you, darling girl~!
Parker Jenkins
>buying a cash shop item just to help you buy more cash shop items shill
Ryder Foster
If you buy any one thing it should be that to start. It makes getting pearl items off the market a lot more likely assuming you don't want to just sit in Heidel all day.
Lincoln Reyes
I know how you feel friend. tfw can't decide if I want to stick with Ranger or Warrior cause I enjoy them both equally
Christian Torres
you're buying a cash shop item specifically so you don't have to buy other items off the cash shop
Alexander Anderson
Sorceress awakening blends into vanilla gameplay better than most awakenings do.
Yes, but if you're spending dollars then pets and weight limit increases are better.
Juan Baker
>haven't played in a year >get a free frogmouth knight armor
neat
Isaiah Harris
>Listened to Eurobeat while roll grinding trading. I see you too are a man of taste.
Andrew Rodriguez
do you race? what are you driving?
William Fisher
>Sorceress awakening blends into vanilla gameplay better than most awakenings do.
Thanks. I see. Damn it though I really wanted the game for cool dark knighting. If at least the outfits weren't class locked..
b-but i don't have the hundreds of millions for a nice horse
Cooper Williams
>Crocuta shitting up the roleplay chat Stop
Jonathan Long
I played the trial and I'm planning on buying the game w/ Explorers Pack on steam. But as much as I enjoyed the trial, I'm still a bit dubious about buying the game.
I know that the game is grindy as hell which I'm perfectly okay with but I just don't want to run out of things to do in the game.
Provide Pros and Cons to convince me?
Mason Myers
you're welcome!
Ian Nguyen
ALL OF THESE NEW CUTE AVATARFRIENDS
HNNNNNNNNNGGGGG~~~~~~~~
Dylan Reed
Sweet ab's
Isaac Jenkins
>crocuta should kill himself
Chase Barnes
can somebody excplain this fucking bullshit to me
There is one new guild war every FUCKING SECOND
Logan Richardson
do you like life skills and rp? play this game
do you like challenging pvp/pve? go play ffxiv or bns
Nicholas Jenkins
Right? I don't know even know who to pick after I'm done with Trauma-Chan!
Charles Wright
I think its check mark to turn off, not the other way around.
Aaron Hall
I'm an EU player, how do I get into RP?
Brandon Lewis
check them all you fuckin baby
Parker Reyes
Gee, I don't know user
Ayden Sullivan
this game is super fun! there's no way you could run out of things to do! it's waayyy too in depth to complete everything!
Caleb Bennett
Tried both ways, still getting this fucking horn blowing in my ears and giant text at the top
