The video presents an updated PvP tier list and detailed analysis for Season 4 across several character classes.

Lord Sor begins by evaluating the Barbarian class, recognizing its tankiness despite reductions in damage reduction (DR) and predicting it to be in the A-tier, focusing on Thorns and Bleed builds. The discussion shifts to Druids, highlighting their high damage potential through hidden mechanics and poison one-shot builds but noting their reliance on barriers and defensive vulnerabilities, resulting in a B-tier rating.

Next, Necromancers are spotlighted for their immunity abilities and the promising Shadow Wave build, which boasts a high success rate in PvP duels, positioning them strongly for the upcoming season. The speaker also addresses minion-based strategies and Rogues, suggesting that despite some nerfs, Rogues still hold A-tier potential due to their poison damage and rapid-fire playstyle.

Sorcerers are placed in the S-tier for their impressive damage output, notably via firewall abilities and their excellent mobility through teleportation.

The video concludes with the speaker expressing excitement for Season 4, anticipating a balanced and engaging PvP environment across classes like Druid, Necromancer, Rogue, and Barbarian.

In this part of the video, Lord Sor provides an updated PVP tier list for Season 4, specifically focusing on the Barbarian class. He discusses how the upcoming season might affect Barbarian’s performance based on his analysis and gameplay examples from the PTR. Despite losing some tankiness and damage reduction (DR) from class passives and gear, Barbarian is still considered one of the tankiest classes. The Barbarian’s Thorns and Bleed builds will remain strong, even though they won’t be as overpowering as before. Lord Sor predicts that the Barbarian will be in the A-tier for Season 4, reserving the S-tier for another class he considers to be a major outlier.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses different builds and their viability in competitive play. They highlight the Barbarian’s Thorns build, noting its strong performance through high HP stacking, but mention that Thorns builds are banned in competitive dueling. They suggest opting for a bleed Barbarian build for PvP due to its mechanical play style. The speaker then moves on to Druids, describing their potential with hidden mechanics and high damage capabilities, particularly with a poison one-shot build. However, they acknowledge that Druids rely heavily on barriers which can be countered, making them difficult to play. Despite these challenges, the speaker believes Druids have more potential this season and places them in the B tier. Finally, the speaker hints at discussing their favorite class, the Necromancer, next.

00:06:00

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the upcoming season for Necromancer in a game, highlighting the excitement and potential strength of the class. They believe the lack of damage reduction (DR) will benefit Necromancers due to their immunity abilities. The speaker emphasizes a strategy focused on dealing high damage quickly. The shadow wave build is predicted to be the best for Necromancer in Season 4. They have recently released guides for both minion and shadow wave builds, with the shadow wave guide being fully detailed and continually updated. The speaker had a high success rate (95%) in PvP duels using the shadow wave build during public test realm (PTR) sessions. This success is attributed to the increasing importance of damage over time (DoT) effects, which are not mitigatable by dodging, a trend likely to continue in Season 4.

00:09:00

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses various character class dynamics in a game, particularly focusing on minions and Rogues. The speaker explains that minions might be less effective due to a new aspect called “crowded Sage,” which provides healing over time based on the number of enemy dodges, potentially countering minion-based strategies. However, there is still potential for a strong minion PvP build, though it may not be as effective as other options like Shadow Wave.

The discussion then shifts to Rogues, with the speaker noting that Rogues using Sho or Doombringer could be highly effective. Despite a nerf to the elemental surge and tempering options, Rogues can still rely on high poison damage and a rapid-fire playstyle to remain strong. The speaker argues that although the number of Rogue players has decreased and they experienced a significant power reduction, Rogues are still more powerful than perceived and can be an “A-tier” class in the coming season. The speaker expresses a desire to see more Rogue players due to the fun and challenge they bring to the game.

00:12:00

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the strengths and placement of Rogue and Sorcerer classes in the game. They highlight that Rogues, while no longer as overpowered as in previous seasons, still have significant defensive capabilities and potential for high performance, placing them in Tier A. Sorcerers are considered an S tier class due to their high damage output, particularly with firewall abilities and their considerable immunity and mobility through teleportation. The speaker is concerned about finding effective counters to firewall strategies but notes that various other Sorcerer abilities and builds will make the class very powerful and fun to play.

00:15:00

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses their anticipation for season 4, expressing excitement for the new balance among classes like Droid, Necro, Rogue, and Barb, which they believe will create more engaging and fair matchups. They reflect on past seasons, noting dominant classes like Hoto Barbs, Rogues, Ball of Lightning Sorc, and the challenges faced. They highlight that season 4 promises a better experience, particularly for casual players, with more enjoyable duels and a balanced game dynamic. The speaker also mentions updating viewers with new guides and insights through comments and their Discord server.

00:18:00

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses their efforts to create a strong Community PVP environment on their Discord server, emphasizing the importance of knowledge sharing among members. They express excitement for the upcoming season 4, hoping for increased popularity and an improved PVP experience, especially with adjustments to the pet mechanic. They conclude with a thank you message and an anticipation for future interactions.
