Gwenia Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I am a level 21 blade dancer. I choose a PVE built for my character.

Victorion Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Easiest way is to level up, It can be done at lower levels, but the time and potions it takes - its not worth it. I do blackram narrows sometimes daily for the quest reward and the possibility of crafting mats. At lvl 45 - I sprint through all mobs, only killing the ones that triggers doors to open. It´s like a 4-5 minute run solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i was thinking about stocking up on potions and thought it wasn't worth it just to get through the dungeon. :// I see, wow that's amazing! hmmm where would be a good place to do some hardcore training before going back to blackram narrows? And what level is decent enough to go back there for soloing? I was thinking maybe 30 or higher 20's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I can´t play as much as I want to (got work and family) - however I managed to cap fairly easily by doing the main quest and a few sidequest. I didn´t rush it, and the story was more interesting when I wasn´t disturbed by too many blue quests. You should easily hit lvl 35 within a couple of days, and with some effort even 45. Don´t need to focus too much on upgrading acessories or weapon, most importantly is to get a few good cheap soul shields along the way. Like Golden Deva which is a few levels ahead of you. I wouldnt really bother with dungeons too much till lvl 40+. You´ll have plenty of time to do dungeons once you cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banzatou Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 You're fine the way you are. I was able to beat Blackram Narrows after a few tries. My personal build before going in contained the following - Multislash Tier 3 Form 2 Vortex Tier 2 Form 1 Guardian Tempest Tier 2 Form 1 Strategy - Prioritize killing off dogs and gunners. The longer they exist, the more they hurt. The dogs are especially a problem against the first major boss in the dungeon. Take them out or else you will be swamped with blackram soldiers. Use your Darth Vader chokehold to help you get out of a jam, stall for cool down time, do extra damage and regain your meter. Guardian Tempest will be your friend. This is a lifesaver against multiple hits, and especially when it's hard to time your back dashes against the final boss. Vortex will be your second best friend If you lag like I do, opting for the first branch for 400% defense is a great way to mitigate damage, as well as a means of moving around faster (especially a life saver after getting hit by a fiend). Utilize your multislash -> rolling typhoon as much as possible. It's free damage due to 0 energy cost. Learn the boss' patterns. First boss likes to do a normal strike, power strike and into a counter. Make sure to avoid that counter, and you won't take a nasty hit followed by a Tekken-styled chokehold. When you see the final boss in his first form charging up his energy, get ready to use guardian tempest. He will do approximately do 1-3 Juggernaut stomps, followed by the OP grab. The moment you hear him chuckle, use guardian tempest, followed by multislash -> rolling typhoon (if possible), then into your Phantom Grip to help buy you some time to reset your guardian tempest. If you follow these guidelines, the dungeon is do-able. I'm unfortunately level 26 at this time, but if you like, I can try to re-enact the scene (same skill tree and everything, and upload it onto youtube).

Yes, if you can do that it will be a big help. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
