Hot Take!

Savant could be a meta at level 160. 160 w 60 m 100 s. access to all skills on current conjurer weapons as well as all fighting styles and leap (which is just useful as you won’t be forced into using dual bladed even though you probably be using it anyway).

Comparing it to other builds

Conj: likely to be 160 split meta as going more in weapons doesn’t gain anything. savant while lacking beam or shot can make up for that with weapons. likely meta build would be sailors iron leg lightning.

Warlock: Savant might suffer from this one, also likely a 160 split since they gain javelin and selino. Savant might be forced to try to zone with a mix of musket and magic.

Mage: While they have access to a bunch of stuff with the increased mobility at savant’s disposal savant should be able to rushdown a mage.

Warlord: Another build they may suffer against due to lack of magic stat to zone. Warlord having access to more skills on strength weapons means that it will likely beat savants.

Warrior: Savants will also struggle. Depending on the build savants will struggle being unable to zone as well.

Berserker. Savants should win more often via zoning as berserker may lack some of the mobility of savant.

Oracle: savant loses due to lack of dps

i think i hit all builds without vitality. I do think if a savant choses to master savant then they would fare well at level 160 due to more access to skills. 175 grants access to beam or 170 access to shot i think.

yea dw when savant gets 2nd awakening its where the game becomes truly peak
The fighting style savant imbuing weapon aura onto its fists:
or the weapon savant imbuing the new vitality rework + magic that syngerizes well with vitality rite whatever gg

my plan is ice with hopefully a snow spirit weapon and patrimony imbue for funny freeze break (i can do this for every single attack i think if i do it right)

yeah pretty much

once savants unlock the base skills of every class, it will be meta (unless some op pure build exclusive ability gets added like prenerf pulsar / fots)

I think 130 wep 90 magic 100 str would be better, you get all weapon abilities, beam, and all fstyles

? 130 gives all? on old weapons it might although on old weapons you just go 60 weapons 160 magic or strength and 100 in the other

You don’t get 90 wep stat skills for average quality weapons with 130
But you do with old so that’s probably what they were talking about

yep, 160 wep is nowhere near enough to get t2 sparrow or Phoenix, so it’s the exact same as using it on an old weapon. It’s worth it for beam + higher magic tiers

I am a savant and I think the best stats would be Str 150 Magic 120 Weapon 50

This is because it allows you to get focus and selino, plus double beam and snare (I personally think the best grab) Also access to all old weapon skill. 160 weapon is useless since savants really rely in the variety of skills.

I am a pvper savant with more than 200 kills, so I think I can add my thoughts

selino?

u can use sparrow thrust with weapon customization so…

yep

currently im running a 50m 100s 130v savant

that requires 160 right? i swear its 160

no weapon? 3 weapon slot is a game changer I promise

patrimony, shield, plunderers

130 vitality is too…more like a drawback than an advantage cuz savants low damage… not that low but yeah

no i do quite a bit of damage

Right we have different playstyles but If youre comfortable with it

snare does solo though
