What build will you go once AO drops and what builds you think will be meta as well?
Pure speculation here but I believe Knight (Weapon/Vitality), Warden (Full Vitality), and Conjurer (Weapon/Magic) will be high in the meta.
EDIT: Vetex updated trello with some new info and Im gonna backtrack now and say that pure builds might be better on AO Release.
i will be a glass cannon and i will murder everyone with my superior skills
My points will likely be spent along the lines of –
15% Vitality
35% Magic
35% Strength
15% Weapons
imagine
yeah so i’ve just realized that in theory you could use an old dagger and flintlock for the entire game and it’d stay somewhat viable
so im gonna do that on one file
but my main file is gonna be a warlock
in terms of the meta though i honestly don’t know, i’d expect warlord or warlock, but who knows
I think that Mage (depends on scaling), Conjurer, and Knight are probably going to be the strongest at launch. Fighting Style balance is ENTIRELY up in the air atm so it’s hard to make any calls on that front
Actually Magic/Vitality is probably gonna be one of the worst builds. You lose out on unlocking magic skills and magic size and damage from hp that you can gain from using good armor. Unlike weapons and potential fighting styles who will need the extra hp for approaching mage defo doesnt especially with mode
majik
balanced or paladin, i might enjoy weapons if theyre good enough
conjurer probs, i’d like a mix of both worlds
i swear nobody is going mage
My best guess is that conjurer will be meta
As for my own stats I’ll probably do:
Magic 40%
Weapons 40%
Vitality 20%
Strength 0 (imagine using your fists when you can use magic smh)
I wanna punch Iris.
berserker ftw
imma go magic/strength and warden on my other file
all three files will be glass cannon, best playstyle
I’m going Warlock with 0 Vitality, 900 Magic, 900 Strength, 200 Weapons. My magics will be 
along with Life as my ancient. I don’t think I’m gonna need Vitality because it doesn’t really give enough health to be worth it, and as a substitute I have armor for defense, Life magic for healing, and also, Metal magic has the strongest resistance mode spell, granting a huge 54% more HP temporarily. I can just switch to fighting styles to save magic energy for my mode.
Speaking of fighting styles… I’m not too sure yet since there aren’t many planned as of now, but currently I think I’d like Cannon Fist, Karate, Knocking Fist, and Radius Fist.
My strategy is to soak with Sunken Sword, freeze with Ice, then finish with a Metal ultimate spell or an attack from Metal-infused Radius Fist. Ice does 25% more damage to Soaked targets and freezes them, Metal deals 80% more damage to Frozen targets and shatters them. Pretty sure 200 weapon stat is enough to use all of the Sunken Sword skills, if I understand correctly. The weapon qualities we know of are Poor, Average, and Good. Sunken Sword is Good quality, so we can assume it has 3 skills. That should be 130 weapon stat for the first skill, 160 for the second skill, and 190 for the third skill.
And if I’m facing a magic user who can easily break out of ice, I always have that Metal Resistance Mode then tryhard Radius spam strategy as a backup.
As for meta… I honestly think Warlord will be the strongest build, but nobody’s gonna use it because it has no magic lol. Ancient Fighting Styles + Legendary Weapons is busted. Imagine imbuing Vampirism onto a legendary weapon. You’d deal crap tons of damage along with lifesteal. And I’m pretty sure weapon skills also tend to have super high AoE as well, based on Primal Swipe and also some move names like Spin Attack. And those are just the regular weapon skills, not the legendary ones…
Absolute banger tweet, my good man! I definitely know what all those numbers mean!
My man
You dont even need ice magic
There will be a ice weapon that applies freezing
why tho? your dmg output will be really low (same as a lvl 25 in wom without gear when youre lvl 100 in ao) and other then just tanking dmg it really doesnt do anything so far. On top of that you have no spells other then blasts, only the first few trash tier weapons and 1? fighting style
anyways i believe conjurer, warrior and mage are prolly gonna be meta. Really depends on how good the fighting styles will be tho
