I do tank with a Greatsword and a Flail, I recently did gorgons and it wasn't a hard time really, I use the flail to get the easy stamina and the extra life points, it works wonders.
The pure tank and healing problem for MMOs never really solved. I wish Cleric flail counted as healer for Expeditions, but nope you are forced life staff
I’ve been liking greatsword with lifestaff for a solo build. The healing from greatsword and life staff combined with a more defensive greatsword build is really interesting to me. 200 into strength and dex with 150 into focus and 50 or more Con with a Con food.
@@ard-janlubbers I don't really remember, I know it involved the heavy attack automatically blocking attacks and I usually took the auto crit with one onslaught skill and 2 defensive skills so that I was in defensive stance most of the time and blocking automatically when doing heavy attacks.
I'm currently running Flail and shield with greatsword as a tank. Would u be able make a tree out of this build for me..i mainly run in party w buddies. if not all good
With the changes to the skill trees, how do you recommend the set up now? They seem to have moved two skills for every class that changed which skill could be accessed with the first point. Calamity counter is no longer available until the second point now. The first passives are pretty bad as well, almost forcing us into taking roaring rupture.
I dont understand how people go light and fight close in pvp combat. I did a quick build with light gear that had absorbing damage types and stuff. But i still got wrecked. Also maybe this is just personal preference but i find GS to just not be that great for pvp. It has good abilities and that but GA has abilities that let you close distance to enemy which is pretty major for me. I main heavy, sns and ga. So everyone is always trying to run. Maybe GS is better for light armor? Idk. Also although it has bleeds, GA has better raw base damage cause its scales 100% with strength. But GS if you want it to get close to the same amount you have to go into dex as well. Or maybe im completely wrong about it i dont know. I gave it a go and i just found GA not only suited me better but it just performed better for pvp
Im curious is it possible to just main the great sword or is it best to have two weapons? i ask this because i really like the great sword and just wondering is it possible
Yeah prolly. I don't know if it's a bug but something when I'm in heavy armor and taking lots of damage I dodge and I do a roll instead of what should be a heavy dodge
Hello, I assumed that you should wear heavy armor for the greatsword but now I see that you are wearing medium armor for the build. Should i Change my Armor to middle armor?
Whats the most efficient way to farm pvp track these days ? Cause most guides out here are like 11 months old so i don't trust them since it's pre-aeternum update haha
hmm with me the greatsword should have 3 perks, trenchant strike, trenchant crit and trenchant recovery, all of these perk will help me a lot while solo and i can replace the bloodrinker for other ring to increase more dame or more tankier and still have good dame
@@aloname5364 All 3 of those aren't possible nwdb.info/db/item/artifact_set1_2hgreatsword Serenity base gets Strike and Crit. Some artifacts are preloaded with exclusive persk
What do you think is better for leveling great axe or great sword for dps, I’ll be playing for the first time October 15th I’m thinking I’ll be using spear as well
I'm doubting between those three weapons too, all of them looks fun to me. I played spear before and I liked it. I would probably go for Spear/GS for CC and AOE. The only thing is that you have to mix between Str And Dex. Would be awesome to be able to carry the 3 weapons haha
Gs with spear is actually imsane and the debuff spear has for the damage on bosses make it nice because gs users are squishy so compliments well and deals massive damage
It's kinda pathetic That you had not even played the game yet and you're trying to min Max. People Like you have no idea how much fun you miss out on because you're always trying to optimize that these games constantly and immediately. it's frankly pathetic seeing how obsessed you are with being the best, no matter what and no matter how boring it is, zero creativity. You just want to do whatever does the most damage Lol.
@@aeriagloris4211 Nah you weak kids are the weirdos. There's nothing more unfun than wasting time or realizing you did something wrong. God forbid someone plays a multiplayer game with the intention of doing well
@@Verlisify I mean your character on the video is soldier or swordbearer ? Because any class can use any weapon so I am confused about which class it is.
My defiance tree for greatsword looks different, the shield with a flash against it is one slot down

I was a GS tank before I quit New World. Sadly people were against me 'cause I tanked with a GS, so "no 10% empower for the party"
The aegislash comparison made me understand everything better, u are the goat
lmao nice
I have that artifact. Great story I went to the great sword. I’m super new to the game I only PVP twice somehow I have it. It’s awesome.
Im all for tanks having a bit more fun and joining in on some dps, pure tanking can be so boring

Can you describe the build with passives and actives?

There's no real change
Does this build still works after 2 months?

GS/FNS would work well. Idk never tanked these dungeons but seems like it would be good.
how you have so many points in attributes?

You can do fine just running a weapon 90% of the time
bin playing around with GS notice when adding attribute point that there is this weird split i get higher numbers in haveing more dex over str
soft caps. Attributes diminish scaling at high numbers
How did he dash that far at 13:57 without a mobility skill?
I really love to be agile and that information would help, thanks
I have no idea. Some spaghetti with getting hit from behind while getting knocked while dodging to go into a roll getup. Who knows
Thought it was a tech or something lmao.
Ty for the fast answer tho
Yeah prolly. I don't know if it's a bug but something when I'm in heavy armor and taking lots of damage I dodge and I do a roll instead of what should be a heavy dodge
Hello, I assumed that you should wear heavy armor for the greatsword but now I see that you are wearing medium armor for the build. Should i Change my Armor to middle armor?
I like the damage on Medium. If its to expensive just stay dedicated tank with taunts
Whats that brown fur cosmetic boots name? And where to get it?
Autumn set. Was a twitch prime drop

I would imagine influence races are good exp, Shattered Mountain and high level PvP Faction Quests
@@Verlisify Gonna try that, thanks !
Can u run light armor with this setup? Or would u be too squishy?
u can do everything u want WITH the RIGHT COMBINATION
Is this viable for PVP?

All of those are the same perk label and cant be all on a weapon
@@Verlisify huh, i see someone post m a video using serenity have all of these 3 perk :?

Not at all, the locked animation for 2 seconds is no good in pvp.
