only reason why we go full spec now is cause of the bracelets
Shrug I just think if you play spec class it should be full spec lol
bracelet is less than 100 stat, a ring can have up to 200 bro
Crit synergy exists for a reason
well thank you for the advice hope this doesnt take all my gold lol
that makes less sense to me but i dont play scrapper so 
welp dont blame me, blame whoever wrote the guide
will we get new character faces and shit with the witcher collab?
i was like fk it i go full ham with spec
im sure some nice people in the scrapper channel will give you some tips on a good build
all my saved reskin tokens will get some use
No problem. You’ll always make more gold. Just remember to always invest in your characters at the appropriate stage. You will need alts to make money fast in the game though. Good luck
What happens in G2 brel to prokel player if everyone outside dies? Could you still kill prokel, then get out and finish the raid, or must the main mechs be completed?
yes you will still trigger mechs outside
so if they "fail" stagger because they are dead
oh wait
hmm, it should be possible i think
So the raid can actually be solo bussed?
the outside area continues on but the inside player can finish, exit and clear the raid
You would need mega dps to defeat prokel fast enough before the adds reach the limit
What is the adds limit thing?
i think 30
think if there are 30 adds that dont get killed the raid just ends?
Ah ok, thank you
i imagine in theory, it is still possible at very high ilvl
if you kill prokel very quickly
but, i have no idea if it skips mechs
etc
regardless, it's semi-pointless to take gates in isolation
because other gates cannot be bussed with just a single person at all
think you need 6 for all other gates, and in g5, passenger needs to do the mech at least once
Yeah I was more just wondering if it was necessary to restart each time many outside failed, or if I could just finish the raid
just 6 is forced for g5 or all 8 until after first shapes
everything else can be done with 4 or less
how do you do g1 with 4?
since split is random?
Isn't the split determined?
you just restart until you get drivers in each sector?
i mean, i've restarted with completely different partners
well ya or ig you’d start as 8
g4 is also kind of rough with 4
it’s rng lol
yellow mech is impossible
nah not that
red mech is impossible
I just feel I'm usually in the same rooms compared to my party position for G1, just assumed that was predetermined
yellow is not difficult with 4
and at some point you become super op to skip certain colors
oh i guess with huge stagger on one side
We 4-man staggered yellow last week with swiftflux + VPH pala
yep i was just dumb and forgot you stack 4 people on one side
Wait I think it was that, it was one of my parties, it was either my sorc or my arcana
But yeah, doable
i think it depends on how close you are. it's certainly possible, but outside is semi rough with a single person if you ahve to do a lot of hp
Generally it is stuff like half the raid dead by 45x mech and restart, or everyone dying to the 80x mech I think (the 4 orb one) and wondered if restarting was necessary in those cases
outside should not be wiping though :x
id restart on a wipe, but if you're confident by orbs you should be okay. it's more if they can still kill the horseman before invisible prokel assasinates you
This part I know isn't necessary though, since he is visible if you get close, and he still takes dmg and can be CC'd
yes it's not necessary, just a bit rough
Although... I learned summoner pets can't target him :' )
anyway im just suggesting based on average gearing i guess
if you're 1590, it's probably a different scenario 😄
As swiftflux that part was very doable still, since so much CC comes out from swiftflux, and can just blink close to him all the time
if you're 1590, would you throw away your chance at ancient gear in hard to bus normal? 
What is rapport and why is it important?
But knight also happens after 45x mech, so I'd always have someone alive outside by the time he was relevant
Hell no
because hard isn't out yet....
Is there hard kakul in KR?
no
Ah ok, thank you
Rapport like endgame content. From rapport u will have collectiable and good stuff like skillpoint, rune, silver, .....
it's like "reputation" with npcs
just more horizontal
but reasonably important in that you need to do at least some to finish continents in adventure tome
which is needed for ignea tokens to get one of the skill point potions
if i'm 1520 on my pally already should i save pieces to craft weap for better buffs or just craft my last two armor pieces for fatter shields
no, armour pieces
buffs from your weapon is not super significant
you'll provide more overall support with better shielding and healing
but up to you
if the buff isn't that significant then armor pieces it is
more hp means i can be lazier 😛
the only scaling support has is with hp so yeah, chest and legs first is probably best
yeah that's all done
just have 2 more armor pieces + weap left to do so I can do the two armor after g1-4, or weap after g1-6
Will this be a big patch or just a reset?
reset
January content update is next week 18th with the Witcher event
do alts generate enough leaps just by only doing chaos?
running really low in the silver department
yes just incredibly slow
are lopangs faster than the 2 feitons and festival island unas by alot? i might just switch them if the difference is huge
with bifrosts they are faster
it’s like a minute faster
pretty good difference
lol not with my roster
I only do leap unas on 2, and lopang on 4
When I reach a certain threshold I switch one of the leap alts to lopang and viceversa
Well it just depends what you need tbh
Looking at your profile do you have all characters or do you just enjoy pressing Buttons?

u can guess why do u think my roster doesnt struggle with anything but silver
what am I suppose to do with gold as someone in T1/T2? I see ppl say gold is scarce
honing
Nothing until T3 pretty much.
@neat flower gets easier when you reach t3
I don't think it costs gold to hone in t1 and t2 anymore
It doesnt
It doesn't.
buy t1 and t2 mats i dunno
No
Nah just save up
also, should I use class engraving recipes? I've used 20 uncommon for igniter, playing sorc
If you know you'll play Igniter then yea.
Ideally you should be running both books slots with your class engraving.
books slots?
Yea?
what is that
Your two engraving slots for your character.
If you have 20x rare class engravings, use those too. You should be able to buy 20x epic class engravings for cheap as well. Then you'll be at Lv. 3 Igniter.
Yes.
also, when do ppl make alts for farming dailies and stuff?
I'm thinking about making one when I hit T2 but is it worth the investment rn?
After reaching T3 and having nothing to do.
ah i see
Whenever possible, eventually you will need then
earlier the better for alts
think epic class books are now at least 100g each on NAE at least
cuz I'll have to spend mats on leveling alt gears right
Did you do Island guide for T2 mats?
thats like 2k gold prob not worth if hes new
he should have free chests though from the express
i have just started the island guides but its for T1 mats i think?
EUC Igniter books were 1g last I checked a few days ago.
No, T2 and you get class and combat engravings
yeah but he plays on NAE so
idk whats with our server but
class purples are 100g minimum
Ye, my summoners where 115g 
yeah just do both t1 and t2 islands; can follow the maxroll guides
Summoner is different, it's new.
you should make alts whenever you feel like you want to
most of them are like that
ppl are out of class purple chests
so prices going up i guess
is this the one? https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/resources/road-to-rohendel
yep
If you ultra speed run you can reach punika powerpass before it runs out
if you like semi challenging content, tower is a good way to raise roster level and gets you a lot of mats in t1 and t2
alts will still be useful at 302 right or do ppl raise them
nah not usefula t 302
Everything t3
you only start seeing value later on
T1-t2 is old content
semi chalenging. i still have ptsd from that place.
i think you meant 1302.
but since it doesnt cost much resources to get to t3 in the first place
just make them and slowly push them up
as you do dailies on them
like chaos and unas
if you have friends or guildmates, can do guardians too if you feel like it and there are people that want to help
@neat flower ignore all side content, do the Speedrun guide, push to punika and try finishing the quest
the higher the alt the bigger its source of gold/mats is. 1302 will only give you mats, as getting into t2 stuff might not be the easiest as most players are not in t2
when does maint start for NAW? im still able to log in rn somehow
alt starting to get useful after 1370 
ohh
no its definitely maintenance
tahts what i thought
theyre just sometimes late in taking the servers down
got it, thx
True, should have already started
Ma bad
@thorn cave go get some sleep homie
at 1340 you unlock basic oreha but most people already past that so not gonna find party. 1370 you unlock both argos and oreha hard. alot of people still have alts and run those content on the geared characters for mats so its much easier to get carried on your alts
hey guys I just hit 1415 on my main and was wondering will anyone ever run easy valtan with me or should I just push to 1445 for hard mode asap?
should try and get 1445 to slowly farm your relic set anyway
there are some normal valtan groups, but most ppl to hardmode
and regardless of the difficulty of the mode, people treat this game as homework so the most favor higher ilvl players as they're scared of failing
estimated finished time for MT ? from now
3h at most, might be less
At most, you never know if they'll fuck it up again.

Estimate is 3 hours from now though.
Oh update is already out to download, so should be pretty soon 
That is good news, but reset isn't for another hour anyway.
@rigid plank How large is the update?
55 or 131mb i saw
its just a reset right ? did they put something
Is their an excel sheet that really helps your builds
Yes, just do /class and replace it with your class.
/class paladin
Replace the class word 😄
Oh
Ty
It links to all other class guides too.
Awesome I’m just getting into the 1415 to 1445 on all my alt and main that’s why getting into relic gear need to know what to build can’t waste gold

Does anyone know what's caused the sudden increase in gem prices the last couple of days?
Prices have gone up by almost 20%.
200k bots banned
@green fjord huh, you should have pushed to 1460 first with your main
Before alts to 1370-1415
Source?
The ban wave was a 2 days ago
Did not know
I’m all over the place
You get a honing buff Wich makes it cheaper in shards and cost to hone from 1370 to 1415
Can I see a picture of your roster?
Game is down duh
Yeah lol
Once you've reached 1460 then hone whatever essentially.
I have pali 1442 3 others glacier sorcs and summoner at 1396 ish close to 1400 and gunslinger at 50
Ye stop pushing alts
Push Pali to 1460 with hyper express
Should get you close to 1460
I need alot of great honor stones
No I mean 😂 I have 0 on pali gotta go get some
Unbound funnel to main or sell
Well you have 4 t3 characters funnel then all into pali
Yep
How long is the game down for ?
Estimated time 3h
Could be less could be more
@green fjord once you get Pali to 1460 and 4x3
You are golden
You will have no trouble getting in to a party
4x3 ? New terminology I’m learning 😂 please explain
4 engravings at level 3
Press P, go to engravings tab
Look at your paladin guide and see what you want/need
So currently I have a dps pali just because just now getting into relic gear so imma prioritize getting a fresh set for support build
I already have 4x3 but it’s like dmg stuff
keep doing you 
Anything that was 1 gold to bid on
So rainbow paladin
Tho I did mess up because no more pheons 😭
You know it costs pheons right? 25x per accessory.
And it still costs 25 pheons
I know sadge
With current blue crystal prices, that's very expensive.
yea relics actually cost 1g + 10k gold in pheons
So 125 pheons kinda wasted ma bruh
Yah
Always ask, before you do something you don't understand
It will save you weeks if not months of gametime
Well all I can recommend now, is save gold for pheons or swipe
Any group leader will not take you with dps engravings
I have 300,000k gold atm
Wtf
🐳
Sooo once games comes up I’ll hit you guys up and see if you can help me fix my account 😂
wait 300k gold or really that amount u just typed
Well he invested over 200$ in the game then
uh u just said yes both my question
RMT 
Other than that I try to be as f2p as possible
uh theres no way u got that amount of gold u typed with $30 without rmt
I did
Get this guy out of here.
so 300k or the amount u typed
Well it was 285,000
um u do realize the k was a big difference
Well just hope you don't get banned
And don't go around saying you RMT
You will be looked down upon
Main purpose for it was mainly just skins and mounts really
RMT is huge issue in this game, and it sucks, and feeding in to it is not helping any of us
Of course, he's part of the current problem.
I really do like the cosmetics
No like Cerberus
At this point idc if people rmt. Its AGS' fault now.
I dont blame the player for getting the best value out of his money.
I almost regret not rmting all I spent instead of doing it through steam 🤷♂️
Only one I want I know all others are earnable
Everything in-game is earnable
Cerberus ?
Earnable with gold as long as thrres still some in AH 
I make 150k+ a week without bussing with my roster.
^
I mean I heard you can easily farm 50k once roster is set
^
severely underestimate how much gold u get once u get an established roster
Then again I spent over 35k USD on the game. 
Friendly advice
On this game ?
If your earning 150k+ a year, and it won't dent your life why not
I can spend around 100-200€ a month and be Gucci
My wife would take my balls but still
I was thinking artist when it comes
What is RMT tho like process wise
Oh boy
To be honest first time hearing it
somehow getting 300k with $30
all whales rmt
we just do it legitimately through amazon
And legitimately Amazon screws us back

@green fjord anyway what's done is done, spend some gold on pheons get support engravings 4x3
And save gold for alts
Are the rmt done through auction house
really link me the site u got the gold from
Yeah
You did not get 300k for 30$ in-game shop
Welll the website guy told me to buy a tier 2 gem list it for the buy price of 300k and then he bought it
Okay
And against tos
💀 emoji
You do you, but ur feeding the problem, and AGS doesn't give a shit
If you get banned, don't go somewhere saying/asking why you got banned 
lol sunny spoken by a poet,

Doing my best Jaskier cosplay

Imagine doing that not getting in to groups, and then getting banned
eu servers not showing up?
Hi guys! I started reading the convo, 'cause I have some problems with gear myself... Could you tell me what should I do when I reach 1370?
can rmt like the other guy, or get ur oreha and argos gears u get from raids
Do Argos and oreha hm
Keep honing to 1445 with hyper express
@hallow reef maintainence
until?
Estimated 2h
omfg...

why noooowww
So Argos and Oreha, ok 
Because it's Wednesday and it's programmed?
every weekly reset is 2h maintenence??
u have guild yet, u havent join one yet, join a guild
@eternal mural you can find groups for oreha "Carry, no bid"
4
Estimated time is 4h, just 2h left now
Sometimes more sometimes ledd
Less
bruh xDD
Addict? 
You have 1 week for it bro
It's too late to hit 1415 before reset, reset is in 16 minutes.

This game doesn't reward impatient people
That's how they get you to cash in
no im not gonna whale
its just its finally the weak i get fully legy gear and hone it to 1415 and i was hyped to get to it in the morning
but event.
i guess i have 40 mins 
Play at your own pace, enjoy the journey
the game is a marathon not a sprint
Once you get 1415, you'll want 1430, then 1445 and so on
no guys im not trying to speedrun bruh
There is never an end to it
But yes hitting 1415 is fun for the first time
Just do hyper express and hone all the way to 1460

sad reaper lopang alt noises

yup
for the final reward i need to pay 1m silver or i get 1m silver?

who knows its lost ark in the end 
dont give them ideas 
why is central europe closed and when does it open
friends I started the game again 1460 ilvl scrapper I have 2 1370 sub accounts I have 40k gold what would you recommend for my rapid development
3 alts for a total of 6 chars to 1370 be sure to research the honing buff in sh
hiyo, i just hit 600 and am playing through yorn for the first time - near the end now
once i finish this part of the story will i start getting new gear with a higher ilvl floor or still 302 gear and need to continue honing my existing equipment?
chaos gives you 802 gear you can transfer your old one onto the new one for free +1
oh that's neat, i didn't know that. thanks
whenever you get new gear, you're gonna be transferring from old to new at the Gear Honing place
so..
- get new 802 gear
- gear transfer to destroy my 600 stuff and boost my 802 gear by +1
- hone till im at the next story step
- ???
- profit and buy another swimsuit


sounds about right
This guy gets it.
skip 2, they've changed it for t1/t2 to make it pointless though it's not a significant loss if you do it anyway
i'll just do it anyway and find out, i don't need the old gear anyhow 🙂
wtb more skin releases from the korean shop though
why evergrace is still in maintenance?
but it showing me that all the servers are up except evergrace and neria
try clicking on each one, one by one they all gonna go into maintenance 
guess there just coming back online one after another
oh yeah 🙂

how long is maintenance?
Heya, is there a new website/sheet updated to keep track of your collectables and whatnot? Since I came back a week ago or so; still been using Rey's sheet, but the last update to that sheet was in March so... missing a few things
Does the inate tankiness of classes go like warriors > martial artists > transform classes > rest (floor pov) or is there more to it? And I guess, outside of gunlance and paladin, does it make a huge difference?
That's what I was lookin for, thanks a ton

In reality it’s also more like, supports > gunlancer > rest
server not up yet more than 4 hours now? 😮 somethiong went wrng?
still 1 hour
Because bard regularly (and imo should) take heavy armour
what this?
tankyness sheet
And if you’re not a support or blue GL, you typically do not want to be taking damage regardless
why is bard last? i swear i dont feel the dmg from any raid bosses as a tank
doesnt account heavy armor
Because you don’t have grudge and probably have HA
and berserk should be last you get 1 shot at anything lol
because normally you'll be with a shield as well, when you get hit
ye i was trying to ask if i should replace heavy armor with VPH with a 4x3 setup and got told she'd then be the most paper class in the game 
You won’t be paper
i dont shield i use the fast specialty bar for bard
But HA is more important than VOH in my opinion
yeee, doing last week brel g4 made me kinda think about VPH but only for soundaholic...hmmmmmmmm
i dont see arty?
x
building spec without shields, is a bit troll... unless you have a really good static it won't be that effective
blaster, probably
since you won't heal, you need shields at least
wait, isnt swift the shield one and spec the heal one ?
no, spec is the buff one
ohh
you charge gauge faster to buff with 3x
spec prefers to buff, but can drop 1bar heals very often anyways
yeah, you can heal, but normally they don't want to do so
spec also should have shields but its cd will be comparatively MOAR right
yes, the uptime is lower

my favorite spec bard build runs extreme meter gen and only guardian tune/rhapsody for shield
i guess those buffers will be much happier in the future when they start showing those in MVPs as well 
I normally see bards not using rhapsody for the full meter gen build, March generates a lot of gauge
How do you guys know when to drop awakening on supports?
on Bard I use when the Judgement procs
VPH is really good on bard imo. I run it in my 5x3. But I think your more major function is to survive and not die from damage
Especially in brel gates where there is a lot of damage during regular mechs
on Paladin after a Blessed Aura, or I hold it for some dmg mech that I consider dangerous (on Gate 4 Brel I hold it for when the cube uses meteors)
depends on the fight, but if there is nothing dangerous I use it whenever judgment procs for meter
if there are fights with dangerous mechs either in general or for the party, save awakening for those
Oh right, with ancient accessories, which is the 3 and which is the 1 between vph and doe?
Judgement?
So I personally wouldn’t drop HA for VPH
conviction/judgment combo
If you die you can’t stagger quite frankly
Ah, do supports use that?
Bard yes, Paladin normally not
just go 5x3+1 gigachad support
Neat. I guess I don't need to regret saving up for legendary judgement then
And for G4 you shouldn’t need VPH unless your raid is seriously short on stagger
Oh wait really?
That's awesome
yes
VPH is just super useful as the 5th engraving for sure
some Swiftness DPS builds use this to keep the uptime of the Dominion set
Honestly I really need relic gear on my bard. The mana issues are so painful
xD ye i was thinking about 5x3 too but thats roughly 340k gold investment away 
For an alt, atm i dont have enuf resources. But yeh, VPH will be the 5th one for me.
Also, what about drop of ether ? compared to VPH as the 5th engrav
Lots of debate. I personally think DoE is complete garbage
Oh? Then what would you use as the +1?
I like DoE, but on my spec bard I use SA instead of it
Assuming 9/7 or ancient, of course
Who gears supports past 4x3 anyway 🤷♂️
VPH will always be good if the bosses have a stagger mechanic, DoE is better in increasing damage, because it's maybe the only one that adds damage to the party situationally
Me
Often the ether is garbage. Often you pick it up yourself. Often DPS doesn’t pick it up. Often DPS runs to pick up and dies/misses DPS window
Max MP is the best on +1 and 2
DoE at 1 is a joke
I refuse to use HA as anything less than 3
tru
Ah, good to know
Explosive Expert as +1 and start throwing Dark grenades
Because max MP is super useful on swiftness supps
Magick Stream
I see, cool cool
(Like even more trash)
I'll just be doing core 3 then HA and VPH then
And assuming I get to full ancient on her somehow I'll throw on max MP
just go explosive expert
?
I like Magick Stream more
since you might get a bit more of cdr, besides the mana regen
I have no clue what explosive expert does ngl
magick stream gives little to bards as you'll be faacetanking some mechanics
with c+j you probably won't run out of mana during raids anyways, just during guardians if you spam away
explosive expoert lets you use 1 more dark grenade
which is much better than some mana reg you dont need
sorry, another random question. i'm reading the daily checklist on the beginner guide and it says una tasks are capped at 3 dailies but that that can be increased to 6. is that just from the consumables i have a few of, or is there a permanent way of unlocking more daily slots for una tasks?
And... what does dark grenade do...?
amplifiy party dmg
just the consumable
that you can get during events
or on Mari Shop
Anyways, I should have legendary judgement in the next day or two, so I'll be able to do that soon
figured, thanks for confirming 👍
Which skills do c and j typically go onto?
For Bard?
Convic on Sonic Vibration, Judg on Sound Shock
Vibration is the big aoe skill right?
Yes.
this guide the Doctor proced is really good
Good, two skills I actually use then
and one thing that you might not know yet
I was worried you were going to say oritorio or something lol
the Atk buff from Sonic Vibration doesn't stack with Heavenly Blessing
I mean, why would a pard and paladin be in the same party?
ooops
I believe he meant heavenly tune?
I meant Heavenly Tune xD
Ah
And in case any Bard players here didn't know, stop putting Sonic Vibration under the boss where we can't stand.
So it's just about buff uptime then?
Got it
Good to know, ty
Is c+j enough for mana issues or does relic help with that as well?
Heavenly Tune is really good for stagger checks, since it lets others get theirs off.
Relic helps 0 with mana, you need C+J and even then you can run out if you spam too much or don't have focus runes.
I'm honestly not sure which relic set bard uses so I have no clue on that lol
Yearning, as do all support.
Yearning 100%
yeah, this is one thing I like of the Spec bard, with bigger cooldowns you spend less mana xD
Please don’t
Mana isn't an issue normally if you have any idea what you're doing.
Spec bard is literally trash
You don’t spend mana because you don’t even have ATK buff uptime
it's trash if the dps are bad
Less damage buff uptime + less shields and heals.
What does yearning even do?
you opinion, I like it much more than the swiftness build
It’s “good” in niche cases where you want to coordinate burst in a very specific way
This is literally not opinion. I am telling you for a fact that you cannot maintain your normal attack buff from heavenly tune and SV
As a spec bard
for me it's always:
in a pug I prefer swift bard
in a static I prefer spec bard
Oh, hell yeah. meter gen is great
if you need to keep healing because people are bad, its bad because it won't use Serenade of Courage
Do the 4 piece and 6 piece effect also affect you or is it just the rest of your party?
And you can still increase your overall party dmg in some, minor, cases.
It’s not about healing
Only others.
Ah, okay
Spec Pala is trash, spec bard isnt
but if you can play is it should, the buff from Serenade of Courage is enough to compensate a lot for a little bit of lost buff uptime
Maintenance finishing in 40 mins?
I don’t generally heal on bard
lol spec pally is trash but its stupid fun to play
its like even worse than spec bard
if you wanna talk about buff uptime just play paladin
Honestly the main reason why I don't think I could go off of swift bard is due to shield and rhapsody uptime
Sonic Vibration isn't a good skill for buff uptime
Yes it is?
almost always, only 1, max 2 dps will stay in it until it ends
The courage buff is not even significant unless you coordinate with specific classes like igniter
But that makes spec bard even worse in that respect lol
but that's the valid point of spec bards - in a fixed group with fixed bursts
Anyway I’m just telling you some facts. You can ask in #bard and they will tell you the same thing
if you use it in any good time, it doesn't depend on coordination with a burst class
are the servers up ?
Yes, the servers for the hit MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online are indeed up!
epic
I mean
Idk man. I think you heavily overestimate how much better the courage is on a spec bard
well spec bard for non-burst classes is indeed worse than swift bard
if you know the fight, you'll buff when you know people can deal dps, not when a mage is telling you that they have ignite
Idk, spec bard seems not great to me. Protection skill uptime means that you need to use fewer heals so you can use more atk buffs
so when do u buff a reflux?
reflux will hopefully always be dpsing
reflux would gain more from higher default buff uptime
Anyway this is o/t. You’re obviously not going to change your mind.
reflux couldnt bother your serenade of courage
and I think you underestimate it xD
an igniter does
? I don’t
It also helps that my primary dps experience is playing gunslinger, who is literally always dpsing
I know it’s something like +8% or something on a spec bard
Sorry +9% approximately
+8% on 3 dps for 15 seconds is a lot, lol
Yes. But you lose your constant ATK buff which is more than that
i think all that matters is that you enjoy spec bard, but swift is generally better unless u got a fixed group
and it's not like the spec bard will buff the same number of times than the swiftness bard, it recharges gauge much faster
It doesn’t
It charges gauge approximately the same
Because swift bard has more cool-down
So can hit gauge skills more regularly
swift is better with randoms because you might get on a bad group and need to shield/heal constantly, not because of damage uptime or anything else
If you think a “good” group doesn’t get hit at all I don’t think you can have done any real raids in this game
I guess you didn't test in trixion then, if it charges approximately at the same time to you, when I was testing I was saving at least 10 seconds to charge 3 bars depending on the builds, normally more
10 seconds less to charge 3 bars in trixion
it's not about not getting hit at all, the spec bard shields as well, the shield just don't have an almost 100% uptime like the swift build
exactly, on a fight it's even bigger the differente
Anyway, as I said. You are literally preaching against the general guide and the general opinion of the bard community
like how burst classes normally do more damage than swift builds
due to a bigger uptime necessary on these builds
during raids
Agree to disagree
not yet because only my main reached g6 for now, but it's as laughable as any dps having a weapon bigger than +21, if you're saying having damage is laughable...
because even with people with old weapon +20 you still need to hold dps xD
if everybody is alive, at least
brel g6 is a lot of a waiting game, it doesn't really matter much since a spec bard can spam 1 bars and swift bard just spams heal in g6
Please go to #bard or #lost-ark-discussions for this.
Ugh just frustrating because i just don’t think it’s helpful to tell people spec bard is okay if people are starting out because it’s not a beginner friendly or generally useful build
Whatever
indeed
I mean, spec bard is just worse uptime on literally everything, while having slightly higher atk buffs, is that what I'm getting on this conversation?
I agree with it not being a beginner friendly build
Higher attack buffs on identity
And like 3 times cheaper
You lose overall attack buffs
So you're giving up all of your supportive capabilities in exchange for your dps' having slightly higher numbers sometimes
Because it is impossible to have 100% uptime in your regular attack buffs
it has less uptime, but you can say it has a higher ceiling in case you time your buffs well
It just sounds like you're enabling lower damage per rotation for your dps' to me
Feels disingenuous talking about beginner friendliness and not mention how swift 5x3 bard is one of the most expensive builds in the game but that’s just my 2c
personally, I like to play with spec bard more, but if I need a support, it doesn't really matter which one I get
Correct. In a burst scenario there is no higher damage buffer than a spec bard.
I mean... who... goes for a 5x3 on bard...?
and I built mine as spec as well
But you don’t need 5x3
For new players 3x3 is more than enough
I do 
4x3 up to brel
i mean the guy likes spec bard the argument should be shut and done
no point telling em to go swift if they dont like it
So if you are in the position to be able to 5x3 for her then that point is irrelevant
but on the other hand ur info is kinda fked dude, spec is kinda shet sometimes
all my characters are 5x3, including my Bard and Paladin xD
I mean, it's kind of griefing their teammates isn't it?
and? where u going to get another support
regardless its fine, man likes spec just play it
Ig
Double standards to say spec is griefing and then argue for anything dps that is not tip top meta.
If mayhem zerkers want pf finder equality they should put up with spec bards
Eh, I'm like this in every game I play. I advocate for people to play whatever character they want, but I always push those characters to be as good as they can be
Two different discussions imo. Beginners get suggested 3x3 swift bard. Vets should play whatever the fk they want
great take
with the balance patch the cooldown of Salvation won't be a problem for the spec build anymore 🙂
I mean, what does the math support? If the math flat out says that spec bard is better then sure, whatever. But all I've heard and all the math I've seen supports swift bard
Yes but this is a video game, not a spreadsheet exercise
Every game is a spreadsheet exercise
Lmao
I have theorycrafter brain, I'm sorry
Haven't quite gotten to that point in this game yet, but I'm like that in a lot of the games I play
if you check the community guide at the end, it says everything that you need to know to compare the builds, actually xD
Honestly the only character I play where I think spec bard would be preferred would be my gunlancer. Self protection means healing/shielding is less relevant, and all of my damage is in two and a half skills that are used at the same time
since you like theorycraft, I recommend checking these community guides for the classes you like
they're all really good

So a party with like... gunlancer and igniter sorc would be dope with a spec bard
But overall I just can't see how the complete lack of actual supportive capability is outmatched by slightly higher damage buffs for a much shorter period of time
I do, however, see why it would be a good idea to have access to both builds, just in case you wind up in a party like I said with a gl and igniter
it's not a lack of supportive capability... as it says in the guide
"There are still plenty of ways Spec Bard can protect her teammates even if there is downtime of shielding. Remember, Spec Bard has less protection than Swift Bard, but has protection nonetheless."
I did read it, but that's still a lot less than swift bard
I agree, just have swift bard, ez
in any composition
Spec bard only has an extra 7% damage increase added to serenade of courage while swift bard always has heavenly tune or sonic vibration up which is like a 21% damage increase swift bard also has the added benefit of having shields up almost all the time spec bard is honestly also a budget build it is dirt cheap to make it.
just because there isn't a igniter or other burst classes on your party, doesn't mean that your buffs won't be good
Just play what ever build you find fun
Ngl, like I said earlier I primarily play gunslinger, and I would absolutely hate it if my support in my team was a spec bard
who cares what ppl think
If building Swift support is cheaper than Spec support in your server, your server is different than mine xD
Gunslinger is constant dps uptime, that's the point of playing the class is that you constantly have dps skills up and can attack from anywhere at any range
Spec bard is a budget build
So having buffs for like a quarter of my dps sounds awful
I play Energy Overflow, it's not that burst oriented as well
Is server back up in 7 mins?
yeah, I got confused with what you said
Unless they extend
hopefully 🙌
Maybe yes.
what's the google doc for searching kr gameplay of specific class and raid w/gate?
Both builds are good so choose what ever fits your playstyle in my opinion as long as youre having fun that is all that matters
Go Endurance bard with HA and blame all the dps for not potting
lol
Exact opposite of babysitter pov
I see many gunslingers that don't even bother to stay close to the bard, how you'll have a good shield uptime if the person not even stays somewhere to get shielded xD
striker or scrapper in pve ?
Both are good
Sounds like cringe gunslingers then
I'm stapled to my bard personally
Buffs are good
I like scrapper because she thicc 👀
boobs or no boobs also playstyle please
Which classes have an 18% crit synergy btw?
Striker, but you don't really take it into consideration
I know it's a thing but can never remember which
I want high damage movement fun
really small uptime of the buff
so burst? or constant?
@quaint isle wardancer?
I love that gunlancer awakening is listed there lol
both have slow builds for burst (Striker Deathblow or Shock Scrapper)
so it would be nicer to always take high damage constant
That's glavier, scrapper and wardancer right?
particularly, for the more mobile build, I like Taijutsu Scrapper more than Esoteric Striker
I always tell people to go swift gunlancer with yearning and awakening + expert
prob taijutsu scrapper but eso is good but i think is harder
Taijutsu scrapper is also very easy to solo prokel on too
That is perfect lmao
more important question u didnt answer is boobs or no boobs
Does swiftness affect awakening cd?
yes
so what do you think about zerk, which can be among scrapper zerk, everybody prefers zerk generally
lots of people hate zerk because some zerk players tend to floorpov
I unironically play a 6 dominion blue GL with awakening
Does... anyone prefer zerkers?
ppl hate zerks here
I don't like zerk, if you want something fast I don't recommend it
Zerkers committing game end during Vykas swamps
it has really long animations in general (might improve with balance patch, but will still not be a fast paced character)
Is maintenance done?
As far as I heard, there will be a male scrapper class, what kind of an idea do you think I should save my savings for him, I'm at the level of 1460 right now, plus I have a lot of press supplies and gold?
Why not just play scrapper...?
bro we aint getting that scrapper for another year at least
its not even close to being released in kr yet
Bc boys rule girls drool
I really don't get why people play the male and female versions of the same class. Having a gunslinger and a deadeye(I think that's the right one, not totally sure) sounds like a great way to play the same class twice while also wasting like 200k on another set of books
why are you angry my friend i want to get your opinion
Deadeye and Gunslinger doesn't play the same way though.
the gameplay is really different... be it Deadeye x Gunslinger, or Wardancer x Striker
even more so with de and gs
it has the same weapons
but the way you play it changes a lot with the Crass Engraving and the different tripods
Are they? I just know that they both have dextrous shot so I assumed it was the same
They have some skills in common, but that's about it.
Wait is there no patches note yet for this update? Cuz my steam made me do a update
there is nothing being implemented with this update, just maintenance
maybe something minor to try to help with dcs
took the full 4 hours so probably some preloading of next content patch
indeed
Oh ok
next week will be the Witcher o/
yes, Deadeye is a back attack class for the Enchanted Weapon Engraving, for example
Interesting
So what I'm hearing is
I could have had 6 unique gun using classes
Now I'm sad
Did you really think that it was just a gender difference? 
Yes
one is hitmaster
other one is back attack
2 completely different playstyles
deadeye
male gunslinger
Anyone done some math on the new pirate ship mats? blue still worth buying?
Deadeye isn't real he can't hurt you
boo
I didn't, normally I only buy shards
Oh true
I'd take a wild guess and say because noone actively does alot of t2 stuff
but just a wild guess
well theres 84k on the market
paying through t2 is miserable man
more than t3 and t1
lol man it wasnt, it was like 20k in total
paying through t2 is fine now
leaps went up alot during summoners release
used to be miserable
to charge someone for a bus through gem
we first list gem
then put it up on auction house right
cant list while its on AH?
You mean post in chat as opposed to list?
yeah to tell them what gem
cos we can shift right click while its in inventory
but cant do that while its already on AH right
mhm
I wish they had a quest tracker for quests u have not started so u know what else u gotta do
first tell what's it gonna be, then list it, listing a gem should take 10 seconds
Hi signum
while they look for it on the advanced search, you already listed it
hello
i guess you can just look at continents and look for yellow/purple quests
would be good but i think the list would be massive
Thats what i do but its just annoying to have to manually go to each place
then what's the point of exploring
or at least i think that
mmo's are all about that, getting lost and finding things
walmart is mmo, can confirm
Lmao
i cant go against that logic
Signum who can i ping to fix the bot for shandi merchant? So it can reset itself cuz it has all the old info
Sounds like a #request-a-mod issue.
if its on this discord, what orchan said
Thank u
With 6x characters at 5x3 + full Lv. 7 Gems and all 1475+, what's the best thing I could spend my gold on?
charity, a seventh char...
hi my name is charity, i would like some gold
^
I'm being serious though.
making alts for lopang imo, if not try to get the other class builds for your chars if they get a buff.
Honestly, I think it’s also worth considering where you want to gear to for brel hard and further on
lv9+ gems on main
The honing costs are no joke
gems are a huge powerspike when at lv9, even more so at 10
I've been honing the Brelshaza items to +16.
Bracelets, weapon quality, 9/7 gambling, alternate builds, 7th + characters for lopang, card packs from mari
A friend spent a lot of raw gold honing weapon to +18
I think above +16 it does become quite a lot more expensive
Orchan, I have a rooster of 9 characters 1475+
16>17 goes down to 3 no?
The brackets are 15+16 / 17+18 / 19+20 so yea.
right now I'm focusing on getting the lest two to Brel Gate 1-2
Maybe just have a look, but yeah gems is my other suggestion
after that I'll finish buying all the class engravings
for the ones that I don't have
gems, otherwise ur just pissing out gold like the rest of us making +7 alts higher
So generally honing and Lv. 9 gems if I can buy them.
And finally…I dunno some bracelet gamba 🙂
Im seriously considering it on my bard where I’ve not managed to roll dagger or weakness at all 😦
after the class engravings, I might start to save gold for Level 10 Gems, or future ancient builds
my bard is good with just spec+swift honestly
Dagger/expose is so good though
i've yet to make it to 1-6 on my main
so i have more things i should take care of first
also i want my pali for 1-2 somewhere in the future, before artist comes
in all honestly 5/6 is not a great use of time if you're actually trying to min max your time efficiency
Most raids aren’t tbh
It's required for Ignea too.
if i have no time later i can just 1-4 like usual
get the horns to flex and wait for hm for bigger horns to flex on the smol ones
also that
It’s getting the brel mats quicker, and also getting the title for easier pug groups
imagine i have to pug somewhere in the future and i have no exp
and the sooner i have my baby ready for hm the sooner i can start honing bard
And tbh, once you’ve done g5/6, they’re not difficult with an experienced group
quick question, is there a trade channel in this discord?
Ok thanks
@rose jewel When you said Lv. 9 gems, I assume you mean DMG ones.
are you a peacemaker gunslinger?
Of course 
disgusting
yeah dmg, unless your class requires lv8 or 9 for a rotation
like igniter, she wants a lv8 cd no? idk
Nah, that'd just be Igniter for Doomsday.
I've got a Lv. 7 currently and can sometimes get 2x even with that.
but yeah higher cd means more rotations meaning more damage, but i guess dmg takes priority?
lvl 9 cd on target down for my TTH, because why not
I've asked because TTH Swiftness doesn't really need it
but for the other builds, cooldown gems are really good as well
non massive stacked swift chars + cd red gems on higher lv = massive keyboard mashing
7-8-9-10 are all linearly the same CD right?
I can just make use of the CDs I get while going for Lv. 9.
hey guys just wanted to ask if the servers are up
Yes.
ur late my guy
Issue on your end.
