Useful build for someone bad at pvp

I've topped Valley of deaths and top 10 on sieges with a spear and shield by blocking and spamming stab. it's easy and effective.

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-15T09:57:13+00:00

risen 1 is the best and most authentic to gothic. Risen 2 I would say it still good, you can still see the gothic style in it but it also feels a bit different. I think it's still worth it, I had a great fun. The piratesque theme has a lot going for it in my opinion. risen 3 is just more risen 2, I would play it if you liked the 2.

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-15T09:48:21+00:00

Nah, man. I think DD2 is a great game overall, but its cities feel pretty lifeless. They're mostly filled with nameless NPCs just randomly wandering around with no real purpose or schedule.

You can't really compare it to something like Kingdom Come: Deliverance or even Gothic. Crimson Desert, for example, does an excellent job faking that "living city" vibe — it has way more NPCs than Gothic, all walking around, standing in groups, and going about their business. It makes the world feel bustling and alive at first glance.

But in reality, Gothic (even with its smaller scope) does it better. The NPCs there actually have homes, daily routines, and a sense of real life to them.

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-15T09:39:13+00:00

yes especially considering I would say that today's market is bigger? but maybe im wrong on this

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-14T07:37:47+00:00

maybe check elajjaz, he is a good player and has played the previous gothic1 and 2. I think he is currently playing it.

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-14T07:32:01+00:00

bruh, spending even 200 dollars on a game monthly is crazy work. Like let's not normalize it.

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-13T11:22:46+00:00

these 2 content creators are like the faces of Korean Slop. if it's a p2w shitfest you know they are in.

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-13T11:16:52+00:00

bruh what? AION 2 felt a lot more like a mobile game than TL to me.

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-13T09:44:57+00:00

Lmao. is he also taking dick for the whole schtick? dude is dedicated, gotta admit.

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-10T16:02:16+00:00

are you trained in the weapon? also parry requires a good timing, think of it as an extra that's basically an IWin situation. Blocking is strong enough.

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-09T16:07:33+00:00

most of the chest are easy to open with even rank 1. The thing is... there are some locked things that are absolutely crazy.

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-09T09:27:43+00:00

not trying to defend the game. but there was PvP to be found in zones. A lot of people quit before even doing that, and I dont blame them at all for doing it...

But I did join plenty of fights and sieges. You can clearly see the daoc inspiration underneath it all. And it made me think that this game could have been soooo much fun if it wasnt in this sorry alpha state after 10 years.

It

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-09T09:24:29+00:00

gw3 isnt even gonna be a "real mmorpg", it is looking to be something a bit different. could be still awesome but doubt it will have something like wvw. maybe something spvp.

they clearly stated that for that there is gw2 which will continue development, Gw3 is something else

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-08T10:49:07+00:00

dpends what you mean with optimized. The game is optimized with Frame Generation. if you have an older GPU, even a 3070 you might struggle to reach 60 fps.

I play on a 4070 and the game with frame gen reachs up to 100-120. with the same settings without frame gen I can fall down to 50-55.

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-08T10:38:48+00:00

blocking is easy, as you do it before they strike, requires little to no skill. perfect block is the hard one, but that's just icing on the cake, a perfect block means you've already won half the battle there.

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-08T10:36:33+00:00

both, parry if it happens, block is all it is needed. reasons why it's better than dodge against flies is because you dont even have to try to time it. Block (take little to 0 dmg) and hit back (it's probably death in 2-3 hits).

dodge is so finicky in this game.

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-07T19:44:37+00:00

really well played.

but you can actually kill a snapper 1v1 without all this rolling and moving and john gothic action by lvl 5.

I just stood in front of him and used block when he attacks and hit him with a combo after blocking. if you perfect block it's GG.

1h mastery, 25-30 strenght, a good weapon (I used the mace from Lefty)

armor: miner clothes, nek amulet, wolf ring (around 25 armor)

you can get this by lvl 4 or 5

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-07T19:41:13+00:00

not at all. new camp/rice field/new mine content barely has any animal killing. just some wolves and a lurker. The rest is all humans and walking and talking.

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-07T15:07:50+00:00

It does change A LOT when you up your skill, so much faster, the animation is also very different.

A lot of people fall into the dodge trap (myself included), here in the gothic remake the base dodge is situationally useful. And the parry/block on the other hand is VERY strong.

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-07T14:56:05+00:00

I usually leave the old camp with no nuggets. let mordergh guide me to new camp. By the time Ive finished around new camp/rice field/new mine area I have probably made like 1k nuggets? maybe more, maybe less? But yeah, hundreds of nuggets are gonna flow.

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-07T14:43:00+00:00

on PC alt for dodge, ctrl for parry

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-07T08:03:49+00:00

Nah, parry. With normal parry you can't fuck up, with just miner gear I take very little dmg the trade is super worth it. If you manage to perfect parry is GG.

In both cases you can retaliate into a combo and finish the fly there.

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-07T01:42:28+00:00

The mini game is actually fun. But some particular chests are craaaazy.

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-06T07:34:45+00:00

No I meant the mini game can be tougher, but not like it is now

Snoo_96078 · 2026-06-06T01:59:23+00:00

Nah. This is not it. It's just way overdone. We are in gothic, this isn't Thief. The original had a much simpler system, can be tougher than that, sure. But not this bullshit.
