In this video, I describe some of the visual effects, teamwork techniques, and slow down some of my combat footage to try to show more clearly what is happening in PvP matches. Many players struggle with both the speed but also the knowledge of what certain visual effects and buff icons look like. I intend to make more of these showing other effects as I have more time, and if there are any questions/concerns/ideas for this kind of video, I'm very interested to hear them. I'd love to make PvP more accessible to a wider audience and this is one of the biggest barriers for a lot of new players - they could have the perfect build etc but if they don't understand what is happening in combat, they will still struggle. Thanks for watching!
