So im a totally new player and ive been super stoked about this relaunch but i just couldn't wait so i bought the game, but i didn't wanna do a bunch of quests and story stuff till Aeturnum dropped so i spent the last 4-5 days just playing with weapon combos in the starter area and this combo of Spear/Greatsword far and away felt the best to me of everything i tried....great axe/greatsword and hatchet/greatsword were really solid too, but I kept coming back to the spear/greatsword combo... I guess it may not be considered "meta" or whatever but just for solo play it felt so good...glad to see someone else thinks so to, so I'm not just crazy. Can't wait to jump in game today!
@@Bman24641 me too. I’m probably more excited for y’all console players to get a chance to play this game. Not the best ever, but hundreds of hours of fun to be had. I have over 5k hours in it. What build are you going with?
Sounds like most setups can be viable. I’m just wondering what weapons WOULDNT you want to run together at the same time? Like what combos would you avoid all together
@@ILoveThisz no you don’t need ammo. It will enhance your damage with ammo but not needed while ranking up early. Sorry for the late response I was streaming. 👍
@@TheKoekoes hatchet is fine for leveling, but when you run into the ancients and they block a lot of your hits you will see why having the greatsword was recommended. The hatchet was better when the game first came out because of how the healing worked, but the hatchet is still in the “between” section. Not bis and not bad. It’s good. Hopefully that helps. Also the hatchet is a lot better when you get to end game because you will have the right perks to make it really good. Not early tho.
@@oldseiza this video is as more focused on ranking up. PvP is a lot more complex and would need a separate video. I can also link you to 2 pvp experts that would be able to cover that a lot more than I could.
May sound like I'm nitpicking but my feedback would be not to say ranking up instead of leveling up just because it sounds cooler or whatever. You're going to confuse a lot of people like you did me at the beginning of the video on whether this is for PvE or PvP, especially new players. Leveling is not the same as ranking. Good video though, been looking for builds and I might go GS this time around. 15 almost here. :)
@@TheLastofUsLive Maybe I spent decades playing the 1%. Or maybe you're reaching so hard you're not even making sense. Either way, glad you didn't get confused.
@@blazeee8284 sadly no such thing. Flail is incredibly weak. The best way to make it strong is having trenchant strikes one weapon as a perk, strike damage perk on your ring and 350 str 50 focus or so and that’s in pve. In pvp the flail with those same perks can actually do some damage because nobody runs strike protection so you will suprise people by using that weapon. You can also put Arcane harnessing on your clothes to boost your ability damage because most of the flails abilities are Arcane. In pve it’s only and I mean only used for tanking or a healer can use off hand. 🤚
@@BeeBopGaming thanks for the advice. I’ll consider other options. I’m completely new and starting on the 15th. So it’ll be a while before I get the stuff u recommend
Thanks man for helping keeping this game alive
@@jcp3666 hopefully it gets revived in October. Maybe even the beta will bring some people back. Who knows.
legenndnddddd
Good tutorial brother, as always. 🍻
@@JordanCunningham-f2c Thanks for commenting as always. 😁
welcome back, man! :D
@@alejandronunez7650 it’s good to be back.

Im following this build as well Its super fun rn GG boys
@@fullmetalathlete that is perfectly fine. I love gs with spear also.
So glad this game is launching fresh…

@@EarthEggs here are some combos to NOT run together.
Blunderbuss: Bow, musket, lifestaff, flail
A lot more but too much to type.
Idk how you’re doing so much damage I could run the same type of gear and do half what you’re doing
@@BurnerPhone1 nahhhhh. Gotta get the same setup with trophies in your homes and all that. You will do the same same.
Silly question just playing the beta do you not need ammo at the start ? For Bow or Musket or did they change it
@@ILoveThisz no you don’t need ammo. It will enhance your damage with ammo but not needed while ranking up early. Sorry for the late response I was streaming. 👍
What's your thoughts on the Hatchet for levelling?
@@TheKoekoes hatchet is fine for leveling, but when you run into the ancients and they block a lot of your hits you will see why having the greatsword was recommended.

Definitely helps. Thanks for the elaborate response.
Is this more for PVE or PVP tips?I mean, this combination of weapons and everything, are they the most recommended by you, in PVP too

@@BeeBopGaming Got it! Ty
I would appreciate it, I'm looking for some content to understand the mechanics and other stuff in pvp scenarios
Maybe rename the video to - I like spears xP

@@OddBox-t1l good points. I’m also excited about the 15th.
Leveling and ranking are synonymous in 99% of games. This game is no exception. I'm a new player and only you were confused 😅
