Glad your making DI vids again. As I talk to some other players in the chat here and to some other channels lots of them answered they know how to counter BK in PVP. I hope to see a counter to the meta vid if you can. As of now I haven't seen one, maybe you can be the first to show it. Thanks for sharing and have a good day.
There's a lot I'd like to try getting new essences while getting the damage reduction really makes for some additional potential to meta builds. Will certainly share anything worthwhile that I find!
Thanks, I assume you mean that would of refreshed my current ranking. Wasn't so worried about it tbh just trying to prove a point that those particular essences and class are broken and work for multiple types of content.
lida - the MMRs got completely reset with new season. Once you get into gold you will be in whale vs whale wars. I use a non-skewer build as well, but it focuses on bat damage and siphon blood essences. your approach on shadows edge is interesting b/c i basically went to major de-emphasis on primary. If you are using primary, you will be at risk of dieing in whale wars way more. my primary is only a utility, if for example im in 1v1 and i have them stunned. i literally dropped all my vengeance rolls and went jolt, rolled off primary attack % damage as reforge stat on every item, AND, even dropped gloom cask gem. that is how much i don't use primary right now. would like to see how you do with build in whale matches of 6 of more on a team. please give us an update as i may reconsider going back to primary. also, glad to see you making a DI video again.
When the bloodknight came out, he was pretty weak in damage, he still is. However, I'm not testing all his essences, because his survivability and special skills are amazing. Bats and sanguinate, skewer allow me to move so fast, which it turns is far more important to me than damage. I use 4 pieces of Gloom and I stack crit chance in my gear. Every time I use skewer or sanguinate, it's just like I picked up a berserk shrine. Sometimes I swap sanguinate for knock-up wave in PvP: skewer, 3 knockups, bats... that's a long time the enemy has to wait to be able to hit you back.
What gear and gems do you run? I'm trying a BK build and I'm getting destroyed had no idea what to go with on this one. I definitely like speed moving quick etc. Faster attacks. Cause my damage I find is lacking
That solemn snare also doesn't seem to work as it shoould. It says untargettable but it's even not taking damage from ground damage skills. They basically have 2 invulnerable skills.
Something has changed with the challenge rifts. You used to not get one shot at orange level but they hit way harder now. Also I'm 7k reso, and you have 5000 more damage than me, so damage matters a fair bit here.
They've tweaked them a couple times when adding new ones. Doesn't apply to the older rifts but there are certain points where you'll notice the mobs get large health and damage increases.
you dont even use skewer, and thats whats causing me trouble (before I could dodge them, now not anymore) only way it can miss now is if player spilled coffee on phone
I would use Skewer if the class distribution were more balanced, but I prefer WoB with so many Necros and Bk's waiting to go immune soon as the animation begins.
Many players are waiting for the skewer animation to start before they use wraith from as a Necro or Bats/Sanguinate as a BK and those are the classes that predominately fill the matches atm. If the class distribution was more balanced I'd run Skewer.
Thank you for being honest. BK is broken and BG is not fair, as you said in same bg there are players that can't do anything, no damage, no survival.. today I had in my bg a 10k reso and the other team had only 5k, 4k, 2k... is stupid, money dictate the wins. Is a p2w game, but not BALANCED!
I like your DI content cuz you do not sugar coat broken unbalanced builds, you calling spade as spade. Obviously i agree BK is in a very different realm compared to other classes. I still dont understand how the devs release this patch as " balancing classes" im just afraid soon most players will change to BK and rest of the classes will be dying. Would you expect another follow up classes balance patch in near future or its gonna take long time to see one of those balances patches again? Thanks, appreciate your content.
To anyone reading this, lets all switch to BK as a sign of protest how absurdly OP this class is. Maybe when a big percentage of players are BK they'll start to realize how fking s2pd they are when they made this class.
Broken bloodknight . . Is ridiculous to go invulnerability yet refill health.... Might as well change name to castlevanie ? Lol when Bk is 5 a side in bg....
I miss killing you in bg. where ya been lol. the reason i feel shadows edge is a lesser spell is because i can aoe primary attack with my spear. which adds up to that 1 hit. in a 1 v1 bg match shadow edge is better since you can now range attack if the attacker pulls back. but i dodge those shadow edge most of the time. I play a necro and bk. I mange to kill those un kill able bks and stun them for all to kill lol.
I've still been playing daily, just been making videos on other games as well. The projectile speed does leave some room to dodge it but if it didn't then it'd be crazy powerful.
It’s not balanced they literally gave blood knight every thing insane speed insane escape on top of the immunity into cc .also why even give them armore break lol.
BK needs a nerf, basically invulnerable. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Then there’s necro and cc. The cc in this game is a joke then add freeze to it. Causing game rage. Pull ya heads in blizzard
Bk is a garbage class,they threw every super power they could think of on it.they need to buff the hell out of the other classes.there is so many blood knights now my whole server looks like a used tampon.
I'd agree, actually find Wiz very strong but DH takes the cake because of how many different mob types and bosses it can clear compared to every other class.
@@Sparkfist1 I use this also very helpful if you are low cr because they do damage each other so you dont need to deal all the damage yourself they are basically helping you to kill them and gives primary attack speed XD
Welcome to the last 4 months meta everyone will be BK and Necro soon, well it is almost like that in BGs already. Most broken BG since the start of the game a nice time to quit the game:)
Happy to see you back in guide videos
Glad you like them!

@Lida_DI on the toplists you can use the dropdown on bottom right. Switch to f.e. Barb than back to Blood Knight and the toplists will be updated

I'll try pushing some rank today but just being whale wars won't balance them.
sorry, thats not how matchmaking works.
Welcome back!!

Very informative post, basically windows of opportunity to burst which is a great tactic in pvp.

Where are those blue beams coming from?
That solemn snare also doesn't seem to work as it shoould. It says untargettable but it's even not taking damage from ground damage skills. They basically have 2 invulnerable skills.
Agreed, seems really funky at times. I often call it invulnerable or immunity just because it acts that way despite the description.
I’m over here thinking that my 1135 paragon corpse lance necro was broken but wow I was wrong

@@MinMaxRPG skewer been buffed recently to hit faster, icant seem to dodge it anymore or maybe im just not skilled enough to do it now
Is there a reason u prefer the wave of blood knock up over the skewer stun?
For mobile is a lot better wave of blood as skewer is too much hit or miss
Many players are waiting for the skewer animation to start before they use wraith from as a Necro or Bats/Sanguinate as a BK and those are the classes that predominately fill the matches atm. If the class distribution was more balanced I'd run Skewer.
Excellent points, thank you Lida and glad ur back!@@MinMaxRPG
Yeah this is almost my pvp build with the wave of blood instead the skewer,.. must test,..
They're both viable and your performance may depend on your playstyle as well. Both solid builds imo.
Thank you for being honest. BK is broken and BG is not fair, as you said in same bg there are players that can't do anything, no damage, no survival.. today I had in my bg a 10k reso and the other team had only 5k, 4k, 2k... is stupid, money dictate the wins. Is a p2w game, but not BALANCED!

its not uncommon to see a match havintg 10 bk, its annoying
i test wizard with same gems and reso, maxed essence and skills.. and it only have less than half damage BK can do 😢.. wizard need more love...
But that build is best for high lvl rifts. 2-4 other builds are nice for other pvm….
Hoping Abomination is more viable, picked up some of the new essences for it but haven't had time to test anything.
To anyone reading this, lets all switch to BK as a sign of protest how absurdly OP this class is. Maybe when a big percentage of players are BK they'll start to realize how fking s2pd they are when they made this class.
The interesting data would be class breakdown by resonance. For example, how many players over 7k are already BK or Necro.
@@MinMaxRPG Probably right. Since they most likely care about their whales.
So I'm goin BK tonight haha.
Broken bloodknight . . Is ridiculous to go invulnerability yet refill health....
Might as well change name to castlevanie ? Lol when Bk is 5 a side in bg....
The worst part is how well it scales with reso. Like it was designed with whales in mind.
It's not at all, all these CC classes and classes with immunity skills, DH and Barbs have nothing to defend agasint
I miss killing you in bg. where ya been lol. the reason i feel shadows edge is a lesser spell is because i can aoe primary attack with my spear. which adds up to that 1 hit. in a 1 v1 bg match shadow edge is better since you can now range attack if the attacker pulls back. but i dodge those shadow edge most of the time.

Demon hunters couldn’t have a steady knock back but necros have infinite lives and bk can’t be touched lol
What confuses me the most is that they were so quick to nerf other classes and builds but these two remained untouched for prolonged periods.
It’s not balanced they literally gave blood knight every thing insane speed insane escape on top of the immunity into cc .also why even give them armore break lol.
Sheesh lida is back with di ?!
Let's hope. Best DI content creator
BK needs a nerf, basically invulnerable. It’s absolutely ridiculous.
Then there’s necro and cc.
The cc in this game is a joke then add freeze to it.
Causing game rage.
Pull ya heads in blizzard
Just the same 2 classes getting stronger and stronger with every change.
Bk is a garbage class,they threw every super power they could think of on it.they need to buff the hell out of the other classes.there is so many blood knights now my whole server looks like a used tampon.
In addition to that they gut every class aside from Necro and Bk just continuing the imbalance of class distribution.
DH is WAYYYY easier in CRs I could probably finish 402 as a DH vs a BK. Even with no reduction I can get 2 shot in 400/401.
I'd agree, actually find Wiz very strong but DH takes the cake because of how many different mob types and bosses it can clear compared to every other class.
@@MinMaxRPG Mephitic Cloud is also SUPER powerful and helps with DPS and dmg mitigation
@@Sparkfist1 I use this also very helpful if you are low cr because they do damage each other so you dont need to deal all the damage yourself they are basically helping you to kill them and gives primary attack speed XD
Welcome to the last 4 months meta everyone will be BK and Necro soon, well it is almost like that in BGs already. Most broken BG since the start of the game a nice time to quit the game:)
Is there a specific place where that helm drops, because i am already level 785 and i still can't get that helm
It may drop on Inferno I and above, some items have that restriction but I'm not sure if that particular one does or not.
@@MinMaxRPG the helm can drop from hell 7 and above,but i guess i just got very bad luck 😂
