丐帮 (GaiBang/Beggar)

[zijing]

丐帮 -GaiBang/Beggar

INTRODUCTION
Gaibang utilizes hand-to-hand combat and features an explosive fast-paced fighting style with penetrating combos and incredible CC, making Gaibang ideal for PVP. Medium DPS but high block/resistance allows Gaibang to off-tank in PVE.

Gaibang is my favorite class. I can't seem to get myself to play anything else, but I love melee, aggressive styles, and responsive skills. If you enjoy those things too, you will likely enjoy beggar. 

It is considered primarily a PVP Class, but I personally use it for primary PVE play, and I think it's fine. But do note, that GaiBang is considered PVP class.
-PVP: Strong Chasing Power and Aggressive Playstyle (high CC) for PVP, Tanky (high block/crit resist)  with Strong Counters (3 counter attacks)
-PVE: Off-tank, as well as a good defender (drawing aggro away/cc mobs), can achieve high dps with proper skill buffs and skill rotation
-Some moves can have Super Armor (immune to CC)
-Versatile and varied Combos
-Two Types of Skill Gauges: Force and Tech. Some moves contribute to the Force bar, and some skills contribute to the Tech bar.

​

Nodes Setup

~.When to Spit?.~


the decision as to whether you should be spitting with the small drink really depends on what you need your small drink to do.

the small drink gives a default buff of instantly filling 20% of your block bar, +20% block rate, and +10% accuracy (note that these numbers are additive boosts, and not multiplicative. e.g., if your accuracy was at 110% before small drink, after the drink you will be at 120% accuracy, and not 121%). hitting someone with the spit will apply a debuff of -20% accuracy for 10 seconds, as well as suffering from burn for 5 seconds if you land a full force skill on them.

the small drink can be specc'd to give one of 3 additional effects.

• Green (bossing): increase your own damage and block bar damage dealt by 10%. apply a party-wide buff (doesn't affect you) that will add 100 to the boss penetration stat (effectively boosts your party's dmg vs bosses by 10%)
• Orange (mobbing): increase the duration of the drunkenness debuff to 20 seconds, increase your own accuracy by 10% (the default +10% acc from drinking the small drink does not stack with the effects of this node, so in reality this node is just to prevent the loss of the accuracy bonus from spitting.)
• Blue (pvping): decrease drinking animation time by .3 seconds, and slows target. this really has no use or benefit in pve, so you shouldn't be speccing this at all...shame on you if you do lol

as you know, once specc'd, drinking the small drink will give you 2 buffs (one's your default buff, and the other is whichever buff you specc'd in your nodes). spitting out the small drink will remove the default buff you get, but the specc'd buff will remain. the spit will apply a drunk debuff in a frontal cone, as well as cause a small amount of external dmg and a large amount of dmg to the block bars of any opponents caught in the aoe. with all of these factors in mind, you should really only be spitting in one ofseveral situations (note that i really only have experience with the pve aspect of the game)

1. you need the block bar to disappear fast
   this is primarily for a mechanic (such as the first boss in the 60 dungeon), or for when you don't have a lot of accuracy yet. a good example of this situation is like if you're doing trash kill. your attacks won't do that much dmg unless the block bar is gone because you don't have enough accuracy to ignore it yet. so in this case, your priority is to break down the block bar asap so you can start doing actual dps. otherwise, the mobs will just overwhelm you all at once and you'll die while doing piddling amounts of dmg to them.
   
   
2. you want to apply the burn debuff
   as you might know already, sometimes you can cause burn onto the stuff you are attacking. there are 2 ways to trigger burn on a target, but the pre-requisite for both is that the target has to have the drunkeness debuff. note that using the second method doesn't impede your ability to apply burn the first way. afaik, however, the burn does not stack, and will only refresh the 5 sec cd if you apply it more than once in quick succession (such as after using big drink)
   
   
   • the first way to apply burn is to use a technique that will consume your entire force bar on the drunken target (for example, at full yellow bar, you spit and use, say, the counter or the chasing kick at full force. this will cause all targets that it hits that has drunkness debuff to start burning).
     
     
   • the second way is to spec your gourd spin's node to cause burn directly on all drunk targets. the burn debuff adds a relatively significant amount of sustained damage to your output, so it's good to help boost your dps while going mano-a-mano, or to maintain your dps during mechanics/situations that require you to run/leave the boss alone for a bit (such as when they do red carpet attacks, or if you're being carried and still want to contribute some form of dps while staying alive).
   
   
3. you need the drunkenness debuff on the opponent for whatever reason, asap
   you see this in a very specific situation only, afaik, and it's not something that you will be touching on soon. spitting on the boss is part of a dungeon mechanic.
   
   
4. your small drink's buff is about to run out
   i really shouldn't have to explain this one lol
   
   
5. your block bar is broken/low and you want to refill it
   this situation is sort of a subset of situation d) in that if you want to use the small drink again, you're going to have to spit in order to use the small drink again. there's no shame in doing so, and it's part of the reason of why beggars can actually keep themselves alive very well in a pve environment. in this case (and it's probably going to be the most common reason why you are spitting), just think about which of the first 3 situations is most true for you at the moment, and act accordingly.

-placeholder-

As of July 2018, the Gaibang was revamped. Will format this better later, but below is a short summary of the changes:

1. "little drink" changes:
- remove burn effect
- drinking now restores 20% block bar, gain 2 stacks of drunk buff (aka 醉意) and 2 stacks of wine buff (aka 酒劲), both lasts for 30 sec
- spitting also generates 2 stacks of drunk and wine buffs
- 10 stacks of the drunk buff will invoke a "drunken fist" buff that increases dmg for the 3 hit basic attack
- wine buff: each stack = ext dmg +2% and block +2% for a total of 10 stacks (20% each)
- red node changes: spitting adds 1 stack of drunk buff per target hit, up to 5 stacks, and hitting multiple enemies reduces CD of big drink by 1 sec for each enemy, up to 5 sec
- blue node: cast time reduced by 0.5 seconds
2. big drink changes:
- gives 6 stacks of drunk and wine buff
- dmg buff to the 2nd part (the knockback)
3. "triple fist pummel" changes:
- can use 微风拂柳 directly after, improving mobility(?)
4. spinning gourd AOE changes:
- the more targets you hit, the stronger the attack
5. 3 hit changes:
- can now be buffed into "drunken fist" combo attack when you have 10 stacks of the drunk buff
- drunken fist combo can be cast midair
- 1st and 2nd hits apply 0.2 seconds of suppression

[The Guest]

Heya, im currently lvl 44, and whenever I get the 10 stacks from ''little drink'' the drunken fist is never invoked.
The buff stay there with 10 stacks but nothing happen, do i need more lvl to get the effect or do I need to trigger it in another way?

[The Guest]

Ok nvm, is not specified but I got the ''drunken fist'' combo att once I hit level 51 and I learnt Big Drink.

If it matters u can add it to guide, or not, and you can delete my posts.

See you.

Thanks for the clarification! For now I think it's best if I just leave your helpful posts in the thread as is; I'm not aware of any updated Gaibang posts in the works. Hope you keep having fun in game
