Wakfu ~ Open Beta, Episode 2: Sram's Shadow

[YouveGotNerve]

Also, which nation would be best for a Sram?

[YouveGotNerve]

I made a comment on another of your video, and thank you for responding, but I am honestly wondering which is the best way to go with Sram? Also Is wakfu going to be worth playing as f2p when it is released? I have been watching your videos and I am starting to wonder.

[hazelXin223]

I see double as good for PVE and solo leveling, but in PVP the double isn't always an easy win. Any cra can just disengage and shoot it. I'm going for the air sram's backstab + shadow master. The shadow master allows me to stay invisible while gaining shadow stacks for extra damage/crit.

[sicnarfisotaku]

cam you make a video like this for the osamoda's whip? sometime soon would be nice cause i'm thinking of either making a sram's shadow or osamodas' whip.

[Att3nsion]

What do you think of a crit based sram?

[TheOstynn]

I have a question for ya, I got to level 22 doing the flatfish - then I went hunting for lvl 45~50 mobs. Easy enough to take them down, however it takes forever. I find it far more efficient to kill a 3.3k exp / mob really quickly, vs. killing 1 10k exp / mob.

Are their certain high lvl mobs I need to be killing? Because it just seems faster to mass kill lower lvl ones ;3

[RequiemsVoid]

@TheOstynn ~ to be honest... no =/

the current exp system punishes the player to the extent of never needing to even attempt higher end mobs ~ granted there are some exceptions like the Sram and his double.. if you play your turns fast enough and have good positioning to never take dmg while the mob kills your double, then sure! you can kill lv40-50 mobs in the same time it takes a normal class ta kill a lv20 mob.

other then that, speed is the best way to level.. aim for weaker mobs.

[iTRYxD]

Where is this area at?

[Syfa]

Perception is supposed to increase your ability to stay invisible (when attacking as I understand)

[Arlithian]

Sorry to post twice, but I also don't agree with your fire build. I saw a level 25 sram who only used execution and had points into backstab as well, and for his first hit he dealt 65 damage, note that this is with his clone and himself, and every consecutive backstab he dealt he added more and more damage. Execute does enough damage by itself it doesn't need hemhorrage stacks.

Just something to note.

[Arlithian]

You didnt really mention this, but the water skills' effects only work if the target's back is turned to you.  Thought I'd mention it.

[shadow180818]

do something for feca class considering their so unerused

[Hakkastyle]

how do you get to the fish place? what nation is it in?

[ScottieVP]

Love your guides, much help. Keep up the great work!

[YoshisSupport]

I think a Sacrier with a Sram's double could be the best combo for them if the explosion from double didn't matter xD

[MsSnuggler]

Awesome guide! I went from 1-20 in a few hours of playing. What monsters do you recommend bombing once you hit level 20?

[Ibethereagain]

@RequiemsVoid Hey man, subbed to you! You make amazing wakfu videos! My question is as a fire cra or cra in general, should I go for a 2int/3hp build? instead of full hp build. I know you've said that HP is better etc but since I wont be at the front as much as other melee tank classes, I feel like I can trade of a little bits of hp for more dmg, what do you think?

[xAshiyah]

Uh...I'm at the fish place atm and when I try to fight it saids "It is not possible to create battlefield." o.o

[RequiemsVoid]

@xAshiyah ~ lol, yea that's an issue with some of the tarps/over hangs.

just move to a different section on the map ^_^

[PointyGorman]

FB,FB,FB=89.6 damage (not including Stabber/backstab bonuses) where as Trauma is only 45+1 per Cloak. Of course if you stack FB->Trauma then you boost that 45 up to 54, which isn't bad with the +20 from FB, but that is still less than you would get with the tripple FB.

Anyway I am not sure if double really needs fixing. Isn't it OK if a class has a particular build that is very powerful in PvE but worthless in PvP? I think it's fine

Of course if you max trap and double you can be useful in PvP

[PointyGorman]

which means you are sacrificing Stabber stacks. Ignore First Blood - it isn't worth spending the XP keeping it up to par when you will only use it once in every 5 fights (if that). The chances of getting a back hit without Fourberie are very slim.

Remember Execution is a big risk, if you don't get the kill then you are going to have 0 stacks to fall back on, so next turn you are going to have to waste more AP on a target that you probably would have killed if you just kept on stacking.

[PointyGorman]

Shadowy Cloak does not help you stay invisible - it only buffs what is says it does.

Scram is extremely important, you are going to be casting this VERY often!

For PvP you are going to want Look Around You because players are going to put themselves in a corner, so diversion won't be usable. LAY is much better than Diversion.

I don't suggest leveling First Blood simply because it is way too situational, in general you are going to have to not use Fourberie in order to get a fresh hit,

[PointyGorman]

Stacking low end abilities will not give better damage than the higher damage abilities, even considering Stabber stacks. (Read more on the Wakfu forums)

Stealing MP/AP are modified by hyperactivity/movement - they have a 100% chance.

Read Aranflac's posts on the forum to see how to use traps well - you need traps to fight other Srams.

I would not recommend maxing Sram to the Bone.

Air matches Fire in damage - check the maths.

Even though you say that exploding doubles is imba in PVP it is not

[PointyGorman]

I have made several Srams with different builds, and I can tell you that at level 21 you will not have enough damage to kill a level 50. Currently at level 27 I am dealing 80 damage with my explosions (I have maxed double and all in to HP). That means approx 120 damage per turn, or 720 damage over all - and I am 6 levels higher and completely building for this.

You can tell the real Sram by their buffs (eg Citizen buff), doubles do not get buffs.

[Delvenor]

Excellent work, tons of info. Your videos are some of the most informative I've ever seen for any MMO. I'm probably in the minority here, but I'm definitely putting forth my vote for an Osamodas guide next.

[smallsushicat]

can't wait for the next one. good vid!

[animekidbleachnaruto]

is it still worth it to lvl everything to 20?

[RequiemsVoid]

@animekidbleachnaruto ~ if by that you mean, all 15 of your elemental spells... then I'd say yes.. but it would take waaaaaay to long to do XD.

word on the street is that they're fixing exp and skill exp in the next patch.. but whether or not that next patch is Launch.. no one is sure of.

[KilingKyKo]

Do you think the nation you choose can affect the building of a class, in terms of equipment ?

[DerettoEevee]

Mmm... great video. Though I have to wonder why you chose this class first if you know there's an imminent nerf.

[RequiemsVoid]

@DerettoEevee ~ MASSIVE amount of requests... lol, I'd get 30-40 PM's a day asking for a Sram review..

[Jolezmar]

I really want to see a feca guide. There barely use cause ppl dont know how to properly use. Soo this reason is right up your,ally :3

[therkwar]

no , do Enutrof before cra :)

[swoards711]

do a cra review bro!! :)

[demonanil]

Great vid, nice explanation on the abilities and viable builds.

[KilingKyKo]

Nice video as always :D btw the stabber as a cap you can only reach 100% damage after that it stops adding, it doesn't go away thought. so what class are you gonna do next ? I would like to see a cra review :D

[RequiemsVoid]

@KilingKyKo ~ ah, so it works like the Power attribute on Cras and Iops..

good ta know ^_^ and yea, the Enu vid is almost done.. Cra might be next :3

[MusicLovesME93]

@RequiemsVoid iop review coming anytime soon??

[Clipse989]

Nice! With no current way to skill rest , and the constant changes to the classes i think i'll start playing again when this goes live.
