In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the viability and performance of various classes in the game, emphasizing the Firepower Artillerist, BT Zerk, and War Dancer. They note that while some classes are considered underperformers, with the right build and skill, they can achieve impressive damage outputs. The Firepower Artillerist is mentioned as one of the worst DPS classes, but a friend’s special build managed nearly 20 million DPS. Similarly, BT Zerk is often underestimated but can deliver substantial damage. The speaker highlights the War Dancer for its remarkable performance, even topping damage charts after a recent nerf. Practical insights on how each class performs in raids, the effect of boss movements, and strategies for maximizing damage are provided.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the damage potential and playstyle of various classes, focusing on their specs and variations. They highlight that one class is challenging to play effectively but is rewarding for skilled players, with a particular emphasis on managing crit and damage buffs within a 6-second window. The esoteric variant requires wealth runes and high specs, leading to significant damage if played attentively. The Soul Eater class is praised for its effectiveness, with its playstyle involving building gauge and unleashing high damage. The speaker notes the recent popularity of the Spec M variant. The Knight’s Edge crit variant involves a set rotation and is recommended for new players due to its consistent high damage across raids.

In this segment, the discussion focuses on different classes and their abilities within a game, highlighting the distinctions between Mayhem and Predator builds. Specifically, Predator is noted for its unique Fury form where fatigue stacks reduce gauge over time but can be replenished through attacks. This dynamic makes it challenging during raid transitions. There’s mention of a slight buff improving damage output and the requirement for skill and knowledge to maximize potential. The segment also covers Sharpshooter’s Loyal Companion (LC) build, which lacks damage and requires significant investment in quick recharge runes. The speaker transitions to a Death Strike (DS) build, which is more effective but needs considerable focus and is still deemed only average in DPS compared to the investment required.

In this part of the video, the discussion focuses on the nuances of playing a particular class in a game, detailing strategies for maintaining and executing damage cycles effectively. It addresses key frustrations such as missing crucial skills and the lack of push immunity for high DPS skills. Despite these challenges, the class can deal significant damage when played well, requiring focus and skill.
The video goes on to rank six classes in terms of damage output within the narrator’s roster, mentioning the consistent high performance of classes like Breaker, War Dancer, and Soul Eater. It highlights the use of third-party damage meters, though noting they violate the game’s terms of service, and mentions that drama within the community has affected the latest data compilation.
Specific attention is given to the performance and resurgence of certain classes post-balance patch, including the impressive damage output of Sorcerers (Igniter build) and Master Summoners. Additionally, it discusses the high damage potential but varying difficulty levels of different Assassin subclasses, like Reapers and Soul Eaters, emphasizing their effectiveness when played skillfully.

In this segment, the discussion focuses on various classes within a game, highlighting their strengths, weaknesses, and the skill required to play them effectively. The Death Blade assassin class is noted for its high skill gap, making it both challenging and rewarding. The Shadow Hunter, particularly its sub bression variant, performs well despite low popularity. Fighter classes like Breaker and War Dancer have high damage potential but vary in difficulty. The Breaker stands out with its push immunity and skill damage, while War Dancer’s performance is limited by player skill. Scrapper, reworked alongside Breaker, remains a top damage dealer despite Breaker’s overshadowing. Striker, Glaver, and Sfist are also capable of high damage, but Striker struggles with widespread poor play. Gunner classes like Gunslinger and Deadeye have high DPS due to dedicated players. Warrior classes and the Aeromancer, consistently buffed, manage good performance. Ultimately, any class can excel if played well, with player bias often affecting perceptions of class effectiveness. Charts and community insights are valuable for new or returning players in choosing an optimal class for raids.
