Hey man, I'm new to ArcheAge so thank you very much for the video! I fought against a Cursebrand (Swiftblade / Battlerage / Occultism) in 1v1 arena on PTS and it was so much lockdown, I was blown away. It seemed like exactly the class I wanted to play. So afterward I began doing some research and I found your video among a few others. Thanks for the skill rundown. I was also happy to hear that you thought that combo was going to be good in 1v1, that's the main reason I want to play the game tbh! Cheers, thanks!
This class needs a lot more work. If it's supposed to be some sort of a assassin it fails miserably. You need A LOT more stealth and crit buffs together with some decent range closing skills to make this thing working.
Hello @ZZavage. May i please kindly ask you, which are the best 1v1 classes in 6.0 Archeage? i really love 1v1 arena's fights. Thanks a lot for response.
Hey i just found ur channel and i love it. Can you please go over some of the best classes using swiftblade for a melee and the combos!? That'd be awesome
You can use the skills, but they are dramatically less effective if you aren't DW. The strongest damage skills of the class benefit far more from DW than 2h. If you're just looking to use the mobility stuff, then it doesn't matter what you use :)
I will take this on mage just for the mobility and that doublecast, and use the rest of my skill points elsewhere. Half distance actually sounds good to me; with this many options I'll just confuse myself teleporting that far.
Work? Yes. Be efficient? Possibly? You're combining 3 damage focused trees, if you just spam the large cds between the 3 I imagine your dps would be probably be decent. You might find it has shortcomings in other places however. Like lacking bonus damage from combos.
@@josephmyles2539 its good to look into. I dont have access to this class, so I'm unaware of its synergy, but shadowplay and battlerage definitely has some. This seems to have combos with itself and battlerage has some for sure.
I am thinking of coming back for Unchained, been looking at Shadowblade, Shadowplay, Vitalism for my builds. How do you think it would do for solo content?
I definitely wanna try this skillset, but I got no idea what other skillsets to combine it with lol obviously something melee, trying to get the max damage out of it. I wonder if Battlerage+Swiftblade would be redundant. Maybe Swiftblade+Shadowplay+Witchcraft🤔 Anyway, thanks for the video! Helped the most so far! :D
Am I the only one who can barely hear him? Got all my stuff cranked up, have to turn volume down on other channels, but his sounds like the volume is still turned low.
Zzavage, which is right in your smoke bomb? 50% damage reduce to incoming attack or 50% reduce accuracy when enemy is distressed? idk which one is correct
If Swiftblade *requires* 2xgood 1 handers (which you mentioned in stream will slow progression) would it be better to level and gear to a high level as 2h Darkrunner, then switch out to Swiftblade later? Although you also mentioned DW being better for higher ping so maybe Swiftblade is the way!
Why are you using katana+axe? I've seen this in other swiftblade videos as well, and while I understand axe is objectively the best offhand (highest damage and the slow attack rate doesnt affect in offhand, and crushing is best type) whats the thinking behind the mainhand katana?
@@ZZav Does it matter if I have axe as MainHand and Katana in OffHand? Or simply no more difference. And why excatly katana + axe? What about attack ttypes - if I have 2 different attack types weapon - does my offhand weapon apply it while using skills with offhand weapon? I assume yes.
i like how professional you were when making this, while simultaneously being open sleeveless shirt /// COULD YOU IMAGINE IF OVERLAPPING SMOKEBOMB WORKED LOL PLEASE PATCH IT BEFORE WE EVEN TEST IT @GAMINGO
Would this class work (swiftblade, shadowplay, auramancy) or (swiftblade battlerage, auramancy) I wanna try either of those, the new auramancy offers a lot of survivability
so i may get blasted here, but couldnt u use smoke screen, with self sacrifice, and literally just shut people down in seconds.....u take 50% more damage, but smoke reduces 50% damage....
@@inducktrinate5470 we are still talking of trino. but meh, I'm giving it a chance but without hype. xD just waiting to see how much time is gonna take them to screw it again. At least, it's gonna give me a year meanwhile I wait for crowdfunding mmorpg with a suscription base economy

Thanks for the video ZZavage. Keep em coming
Log horizon theme song is playing during the 17 mins mark. fuck yeah
Very informative, thanks!
This sounds almost like a ninja or advanced shadowplay/assassin class in a single skillset.
Its SWIFTBLADE, but how i can create DARKRUNNER ? i need start with BATTLERAGE? or whaT?
This class needs a lot more work. If it's supposed to be some sort of a assassin it fails miserably. You need A LOT more stealth and crit buffs together with some decent range closing skills to make this thing working.
Hello @ZZavage.
May i please kindly ask you, which are the best 1v1 classes in 6.0 Archeage? i really love 1v1 arena's fights. Thanks a lot for response.
i will defo pair it with Archery and wherever it takes me !
Hey i just found ur channel and i love it. Can you please go over some of the best classes using swiftblade for a melee and the combos!? That'd be awesome
how do you feel about this vs dark runner when comparing the 2?
Is there an option to get the names to be in english?
what combination of weapons do you use?
what set status do you use?
It is required 2weapons in hand to be able use those skills, or I am able to use them even with two hander?
You can use the skills, but they are dramatically less effective if you aren't DW. The strongest damage skills of the class benefit far more from DW than 2h. If you're just looking to use the mobility stuff, then it doesn't matter what you use :)
@@ZZav A thank you for info! I am bit conflicted about making DPS with 2hander. Hope to see more materials from you in there future^^
hi! is a good idea combination this skillset with a mage? for example sorc/shadowplay/swiftblade for more movility? thanks men!
I will take this on mage just for the mobility and that doublecast, and use the rest of my skill points elsewhere. Half distance actually sounds good to me; with this many options I'll just confuse myself teleporting that far.
Wouldn't using Self Sacrifice be useful inside your Smoke Bomb where at least you'd break even on the damage being done to you?
This was great, subscribed :) do you have plans to do the rest of the classes?
Would swiftblade, shadowplay and battlerage work well if the goal is dps
Work? Yes. Be efficient? Possibly? You're combining 3 damage focused trees, if you just spam the large cds between the 3 I imagine your dps would be probably be decent. You might find it has shortcomings in other places however. Like lacking bonus damage from combos.
Death Genie thank you kindly, I’m new so I’ll look more into synergy
@@josephmyles2539 its good to look into. I dont have access to this class, so I'm unaware of its synergy, but shadowplay and battlerage definitely has some. This seems to have combos with itself and battlerage has some for sure.
Death Genie as it stands shadowplay is not on the calculator for codex
What the best classes to combine with this one?
Battlerage and then a 3rd option of your choice, primarily auramancy, occultism, shadowplay, songcraft or witchcraft
@@ZZav tks, why didn't u show this class, show us the gameplay with full build and skilss xD
I am thinking of coming back for Unchained, been looking at Shadowblade, Shadowplay, Vitalism for my builds. How do you think it would do for solo content?
I definitely wanna try this skillset, but I got no idea what other skillsets to combine it with lol
obviously something melee, trying to get the max damage out of it. I wonder if Battlerage+Swiftblade would be redundant.
Maybe Swiftblade+Shadowplay+Witchcraft🤔
Anyway, thanks for the video! Helped the most so far! :D
Next time get 1080p resolution for the video please :)
Am I the only one who can barely hear him? Got all my stuff cranked up, have to turn volume down on other channels, but his sounds like the volume is still turned low.
yup had to turn it WAAAAY up
Yeah, happened on a few of his videos for me. I'm watching on my phone at work and had to put on earphones in order to listen
Zzavage, which is right in your smoke bomb?
50% damage reduce to incoming attack or 50% reduce accuracy when enemy is distressed? idk which one is correct
How would swift/shadowplay/auramacy be in pvp?
love songs
If Swiftblade *requires* 2xgood 1 handers (which you mentioned in stream will slow progression) would it be better to level and gear to a high level as 2h Darkrunner, then switch out to Swiftblade later? Although you also mentioned DW being better for higher ping so maybe Swiftblade is the way!
Swiftblade is a school, not a whole class
Why are you using katana+axe? I've seen this in other swiftblade videos as well, and while I understand axe is objectively the best offhand (highest damage and the slow attack rate doesnt affect in offhand, and crushing is best type) whats the thinking behind the mainhand katana?
Crits. Each weapon has its own effect. Swords I believe are something to do with parry, katanas are crits, axes are hp regen, spears are penetration.
@@deathgenie They havent had those effects in years, apparently. They only have damage type (slashing, piercing, crushing)
@@EveTater damn really? Thats what made weapons in AA really cool imo..
do archage have a weapon swap ? bc im new and I think about buying this game
You can swap weapons mid combat yes. Different weapons have different damage scaling and attackspeeds.
super dumb question but can u use a 2h weapon???
You can but the damage sucks with 2h.
Best weapon combination for dual wield?
Axe/Katana most of the time.
xDrac if you’re going 2h don’t use swiftblade you’re better off with other classes
@@ZZav Does it matter if I have axe as MainHand and Katana in OffHand? Or simply no more difference. And why excatly katana + axe?
What about attack ttypes - if I have 2 different attack types weapon - does my offhand weapon apply it while using skills with offhand weapon? I assume yes.
i like how professional you were when making this, while simultaneously being open sleeveless shirt /// COULD YOU IMAGINE IF OVERLAPPING SMOKEBOMB WORKED LOL PLEASE PATCH IT BEFORE WE EVEN TEST IT @GAMINGO
hey Zzavage, does Execution Impale combo stack with another Mirror image(Execution).
does it increase the impale duration further?
Yes it does.
@@ZZav cool. thanks man
Name of the class archer / shadowplay / swiftblade?
Avatar
DARKRUNNER IS BACK BABY
Would this class work (swiftblade, shadowplay, auramancy) or (swiftblade battlerage, auramancy) I wanna try either of those, the new auramancy offers a lot of survivability
Would it be possible to deepfreeze an enemy when using frigid tracks + double freezing arrow (with the mirror ability)?
no, it resets only sb skills
It only repeats swiftblade skills.
@@ZZav Frigid Tracks + Blade Verka sounds nasty though
gw2 mesmer+thief= Swiftblade
this skill tree looks cool af btw
good video, hard to take you seriosly tho with that outfit
What? Are people actually this shallow?
Faith in humanity -1
what about swift/shadowblade/songcraft ??
Don't see why not. songcraft is good at all points in the game.
Is Shadow/Defense/Swiftblade viable? and do they have a name for it
Depends on what you define as viable. There are names for the classes but theyre going to be broken english from Korean.
so i may get blasted here, but couldnt u use smoke screen, with self sacrifice, and literally just shut people down in seconds.....u take 50% more damage, but smoke reduces 50% damage....
technically yes but you take 50 % more dmg, smoke reduces 50 % so you still take 25 % extra dmg..
Hi, I saw you in game
Shadow blade is op because they had a confused and sleep reburst but they are boring open world since Darkrunner was the best or primeval.
downblouse
this class should be vs op tanks .. not vs already noob archers make them from useless - mega useless
Go in blow CDs tele out and run/kite and go back in. Like a melee mage lol
eeeee.. Pay to win and super grind game.. nah
The point of unchained is to eliminate the pay to win, so it wont have any.
