Archeage Unchained: Is swiftblade good for levelling?

- Haven't made any content on youtube in forever so everything will probably be super terrible, that being said with Archeage Unchained right around the corner and a partner opportunity at hand I thought I'd make some youtube content to go alongside my regular twitch streams.
In this video I talk about choosing Swiftblade as a class to level with from level 1 or as a starting skillset and the issues I have found whilst levelling.
This was recorded on the Archeage Unchained Media PTS.

Just pick swiftblade if you want to. it’s fine and not nearly as bad as it is portrayed in this video
also he said to pick it at lvl 7 or 15, you may as well just pick it because you get to lvl 30 in like 1 hour of playing and you dont have to fight much.
new to AAU and i started with swiftblade did not struggle to kill enemy at all so idk what your saying its not really that bad when you start as swiftblade and this is coming from a new player in AAU.
I have to disagree with you. I leveled to 30 very quickly. And the beginning was very fast using Swiftblade to start. If you know your combos, picked dual wield, and picked the right skills you kill very fast
Levelling to 30 is relatively fast regardless of class due to quests however multiple people have concluded that other skillsets (battlerage, malediction) can output more damage easily at the start resulting in faster progression especially when combined with a 2h sword or staff. By no means is swiftblade "slow" to level however my conclusion and many others is that it is "slower" to level than other classes/skills.
@@Insan3 again. I disagree with you and the others. I leveled along side a few people. And outdid them all. The combos with the third strike of swiftblade first skill made quick easy deaths of every mob I encountered.
@@jaernem That may be so, I simply spoke on what I experienced and for me it didn't perform well, it could be possible that ping is a major issue but I know the mana costs are higher and the third teleport has been throwing people around like I showed in the video. That being said I also wouldn't discourage people that want to play it or try it from doing so, which I also spoke about.
The problem with swift blade its that has no cc and not real combos yes has good dmg output but how u hit a moving target the whole time, if the enemy is good and has cc when u don't then it sux for swift blade, and what cc do u take for swift blade? I guess battle rage after that I found out that swift blade doesn't compliment well battle range and there are better options, plus swift blade needs dual wield so ppl with 2 handed will need less recourses and labor and stones etc etc to evolve there weapon so kind of will be in front of u gear wise plus have simplier pvp than u, really wanted to play swift blade but I feel it won't work :/
Swiftblade actually has less damage when compared to battlerage too. It is definitely not a skillset for those who want to be at the very top end of pvp as it is currently. However we could see it getting buffed in the future as it is a fun skillset to play with. Also I am 90% sure 2h weapons take more xp to synthesise as well as dual wielding giving more gearscore. That being said for raw damage output yes 2h is better.
@@Insan3 I tried both till lvl 30 2 wield needs more synthesize for sure, but I found swift blade with bleed from shadow play doing much much more dmg I could 2 skill mobs and move to the other
@@ecosti yes but with that you are relying on a second skillset to combo. The base skill damage of swiftblade is lower than other melee skill trees.
@@Insan3 well it might be true, played till 35 lvl and wasn't impressed, might mix it with battle rage or just skip it
@@ecosti you supposed to use reveberate and copy your previous big damage skill for big burst damage, in my opinion battlerage is not needed for swiftblade. If you go battlerage, chances are that you will probably main battle rage and barely use any swiftblade skill at all.
what swiftblade need is shadowplay for pin down and shadowsmite..
It sucks. I am having tons of problem lvling with deathwish. I guess I am just bad.
This game would make a great little pastime if it didn't lag to hell and back for my region
The 15m final dash appears to be a hidden proc. When you kill something with the third hit it propels. In late-game PvP, it can be helpful to either help you engage on more targets or disengage all together.
If that is the case it should be in the skill description, it also doesn't happen every time. Either way it imo makes the skill more annoying for farming, luckily an ancestral skill in 6.2 disables the dash. However it also removes the shadowmark which imo is the main strength over triple slash.
@@Insan3 I agree. It should be in the description so people know what to expect.
Which other classes with swiftblade? At least i want swiftblade as main and either battlerage/shadowplay or both but im not sure if it would be a good combo
Battlerage and shadowplay is popular and makes deathwish. Battlerage + witchcraft and battlerage + songcraft will also be pretty popular i believe.
@@Insan3 Thank you!
how can i enable the "autoface" the target. You seem to hav this turned on. After the dash i allways look in the wrong direction
That't not an option, that is me turning the camera. Your character does automatically face the target however.
@@Insan3 thats what i mean. My Charakter gets the Massage "facing in wrong direction" After the tripple slash and I have to turn him manually. However i Found the Option,, But i dont know how to translate IT xD
@@prettseralexey5759 Honestly I didn't even know it was an option, I had it at whatever it was default lol Good to know there is an option
@@prettseralexey5759 I think you are holding down right click, or atleast that was my problem.
So is 2 Handed swiftblade not viable? Are the skills specific to buffing duel wield?
2h swiftblade is absolutely not viable. If you were only taking the dash and teleport skills as mobility you could run 2h but to actually do anything with the skills it relies on dual wielding.
@@Insan3 saying that its "absolutely not viable" is just dumb xD there are vids on yt showing that damage is not that far off comparing to 2h. but your cooldowns will suffer and some skills wont combo that good like with dual w.
@@Zamoxino but why would you 2h swiftblade you obviously not using it as main damage if you are so that means you using it as utility for battle rage so it is not viable prove me wrong
@@TesuuArisato buhuuhuu but why would you 2h T-T i dont fucking know why would he like to use 2h. maybe roleplay reasons maybe he just likes 2h and wanna have fun... i just said that ""absolutely not viable" is just dumb"... skills still do dmg with 2h and u dont need to use dmg skills from that tree anyway. u know what u can say is "absolutely not viable"? healer without healing power. if u clench your asshole enough u can make 2h swift at least little bit viable if u wanna go for dmg
i dont want to be rude but why u not root enemys and hit them on back, You know how parry and block work in AA?
When using entangle + whirlwind for the trip the precision strike after is a backstab. Without 200 ping I would also be able to hit in the back straight after the triple slash dash.
you just took the wrong skills, you didn't took judgment blade and the 5th skills, it's really good dmg dealing skills so yeah ofc you can't kill fast, also use the combo of swift to reset your skills and inflict 40% more dmg
I tried out all the skills leading up to lvl 30 and compared to battlerage the damage is just way lower. To reset skills you need to kill the enemy which means you do slow dmg and then burst the final kill, this is still far slower than going battlerage. On top of that Mana costs are also higher.
