K ima be real here but ur savant build…

how do I say this nicely?

It’s fucking awful.

first of all, where is your second magic?

secondly, you only have 2 weapons for some reason, and claws are near essential for savants, also you might wanna avoid swift on anything other than dual swords / old katana so you can have more power / better AoE.

Personally, having better AoE on claws while having good power on a greatsword seems like a smart idea.

reason I didn’t mention anything about ur FS is because combat is fine, but what I did notice was how you literally did not touch anything outside of glass magic.

you really gotta use your whole kit.

sorry if this just kinda came out of the blue, but I felt inclined to help a savant brother in need.

actually I realised you have a ravenna shield but I’ma be real here, from what I’ve seen, savants generally are better played hyper offensive and shields don’t exactly benefit them.

i have wind as my 2nd magic but i cant be bothered to switch to it since its only blast and explosion

honestly idk about power on staff but i feel like swift on anything is a W except for slow weps such as greataxe. using shield to compensate for a lack of thought for a third wep and i dont really like using claws

see the reason it’s good to use claws is because generally you can use claws to help deal with things like pulsar and also have access to a good close range punish move in primal swipe

man why tf does every build EXCEPT beserker get to use the rest of their build apart from thermo

thats only your opinion, theres no need to force it onto every savant user you see

icic

Although beast instinct is kinda mid

But at least primal has a ridiculously spammable cooldown so when up close it can be aggressive if you need it to be

nah fr claws is actually like crucial for using savant because primal swipe is actually a really good damage source despite being of old quality (the only quality most normal savants have current access to all the skills for)

beast instinct also is good for a lot of situations and can deal high damage too

Like I know I may seem like I’m being pushy about it but I’m not kidding when I say that claws are pretty damn good even at old quality and using them allows you to deal high damage as a savant fairly easy.

It’s just a watered down berserker with magic leap, blast & weak weapons,
I’ll probably switch dual swords out for for something more precision based since aoe is small on old weapons

no

Beast instinct is literally only good against warriors that spam ethereal flash. (and so many other moves in savant’s kit can do the same thing to counter it)
Primal slash does a lot of damage, sure, but the range is just ass. You’d be better off running something like katana/dual swords, musket, and shield as they synergize better with the rest of savant.

Katana gives you a tp which if you’re not running one of those on savant idk wtf you’re doing, along with a projectile that’s just primal slash but more range, better aoe, and less damage.
Savant is only second to primary fstyle builds when it comes to airstalling, so the extra range is extremely good.

Musket and other guns dont actually gain anything from changing their quality. Bronze muskets and old muskets are the exact same. Why bother using claws when you can have a longer-range variant with 2 cyclable cooldowns that do more damage?

And for shield, if you pair it with boxing you take literally 0 damage when you block an attack, not using shield on savant is just willingly taking 20% more damage for no reason.

Basically, claws have no place on a savant build as musket fulfills its role but does it 10x better, and the other weapon options also outclass it for savant.

I’d argue that it can be helpful against mages with pulsar but after the gutting I don’t know how relevant this is anymore, best instinct is also good for punishing things like berserkers or players who try to get too close.

eh, true, though it’s great for combos, which, savant is known for.

okay the katana and the dualies make sense but…

Who tf uses musket in pvp besides warriors (and the occasional madlad conjurer)???

and shields are are kinda debatable however I will say that perhaps it depends on how you play.

it’s kinda slow in the air tho, so it seems rather pointless to try and use it for long range attacks when you could use primal slash in a similar scenario for more damage, but I digress.

Guns are awful to aim with :confused:

Yeah but most people go magic savant so it doesn’t make sense to waste your FS slot for boxing just for block power, though I guess I can see why is this helpful.

I think the musket take is extremely hot, though I will say I did learn from this post and have realized the errors of my ways, I’m sorry I pushed on the idea that you need claws, though I still think they’re extremely good.

ok we chill and all but musket is one of the most used weapons in pvp i dont know wtf ur on about with that one

Maybe I just have a skill issue but like I seriously hate using musket in pvp because the damn hitbox is SO SMALL RAHHH

I think it got buffed however, so maybe it’s more usable.

At least muskets drippy tho

also I misworded one of my points what I meant was flying slash is great and all but it kinda stinky for long range cuz the travel speed sucks

and normally you’d use stuff like that at medium range, where primal slash can do that as well, but, better.

except, there are other ways and claws are only a single playstyle. you may think claws are good for a damage and counter option, but beast instinct is easily blocked and punished. only works agaisnt specific enemies if ya know what i mean

i personally dislike claws since beast instinct just never works out and primal swipe is too slow compared to my other projectiles

travel speed isnt bad on it + u can predict with it.

i still do NOT know what u mean by musket not being useable it’s one of the best weapons in the game by far. its a hitscan 300 damage move that is so easy to land with half decent aim
