yeah they were trolling with that name or something I swear

pretty close. hatchet has keen speed instead of a weapon perk, 350str/50dex/50int/150con, slash on ring instead of keen, and I experimented with some different amulet perks but I think im gonna stick with divine and stam recovery til the shirking empower change. purify and refreshing recovery felt pretty good on tank but wasted in medium

good to know, never play musket and rarely bb so didn't even know that was a thing. thank you brother 🤝

definitely still a solid build, haven't changed anything from my build guide in the last video yet, still waiting for the next balance patch to actually go live so we can see what changes are made versus what they said they'll likely do

@@PJsurely Thanks for the answer. When will the update go live?

think we still have 3 weeks left unless I'm misremembering the dev vid from a few weeks back

you can make it work, but that's part of my issue with it. the fact that you have to slow people and spend all your stamina constantly dodging toward the person just to remain remotely close enough to track is just bad and isn't an issue with a lot of other melee weapons. they said the tracking was going to be better after the slayer script update, and weirdly some things are but they're mostly pve related and with the degraded server performance it feels even worse than it used to

thank you brother 🤝 if I were you, I'd run all the same gear for both sets and only switch the shield and the sword. nature's wrath chest, frigid dawn for all the other armor pieces. pvp artisan's round shield and a sword with thwarting+pen backstab. pve tower shield with shield rush, enchanted ward, and a protection, sword probably farm a lifering sword and put refreshing move on it and a taunt gem. could change up your secondary weapon pretty easily like hammer for pve and bb/inferno for pvp or whatever you have fun with

completely agree with the koya's idea, don't want the downsides I suggested more so meant I'd make it work no matter what the tradeoff was if they would at least make it worth using and give the option. personally don't think they should've reverted the change for light getting negative freedom, but they caved. if blooddrinker worked that way I don't think it'd even be a debate that it'd be the best solo artifact jewelry tho

yeah hatchet+anything is pretty good atm. u goin mostly throwing tree?

not sure which fella u mean, me?

@@PJsurely the musket guy you keep targeting and dying :D

ahh yeah haha fk musket anyway

haha thank you I think

same, brother. same. if it leads to a successful launch and the player-base starts growing again then it'll be worth it in the end

thank you brother 🤝

Recently, I made a PvP build using hatchet and serenity.. it is very fun 🤩

yeah that's a strong one haha

well that's a big part of the reason I'm currently frustrated with it personally, it's been my favorite game for a while because it can be very fun, but at the moment there are so many things that need attention that I'm just playing out of habit rather than actually enjoying myself

wasn't really talking about the war meta where people actually optimize and play the objective, personally don't care about wars. was talking more so about the opr meta where filthy casuals like me tend to play whatever is easiest to play as a solo, hence the ranged meta. they don't want to stand in the clump and get focused down without the assurance of a healer being available, so they gravitate towards something they can play at a safe distance. pretty routinely have matches where 19 blues are standing in the road 20 meters from a clump of 20 reds just shooting at each other with nobody dying and I'm skirting around the edge trying to look for someone I can pick off from the herd. as far as the strongest, most well-rounded build I've play though you're not wrong. heavy sns/spear is never going to lose a 1v1

@PJsurely I mained musket for awhile, mostly cuz it was fun and challenging, but I was in the shit on the point. Now I'm either hatchet GS or VG IG, the latter is pumping out so much dps, I can take a heavy sns user 1v1 and win, only weakness is if they focus my pylon fast, but most ppl ignore pylons, while Mines hitting for 1.5 to 4k a shot, depending on who it's attacking.

played that one a good bit in medium and heavy, just didn't think it went with the theme of stuff people aren't playing as much. it's a solid build tho

feel like it's more likely it was killed by the meta rarely changing..

No what killed pvp is ags refusing to fix bugs and add more maps and game modes for pvp

Also life staff is way worse than bows and muskets. Remove life staff from pvp. Maybe peopl3 would come back to the game if all of this happened

well that would definitely change the meta haha

@PJsurely like 10 new opr maps. 10 new arena maps(no more 1 map per week bs). Capture the flag(other different modes for opr) could even have a massive opr map with 5 bases. Fix all desync, fix all bugs. Nerf life staff in these pvp game modes. Make world pvp great again. I love new world and it's pvp. Tis a shame. Also love your vids :D

it's pretty rough. we've been waiting for months to see what this big June update they've been hyping up is all about, but if it's just more pve shit... probably right behind you brother

my brother I appreciate you respectfully disagreeing, but I often talk about things being unbalanced even when I'm the one using them. like in this video did it seem at all fair that the light hatchet player simply couldn't put a dent in my healthbar but once I turned my attention to him he was dead within a few swings? the tradeoff is intended to be mitigating more damage means you typically do less damage, the game is far from balanced. I imagine this is probably the first video of mine that you've watched since I've been championing the game and the devs relentlessly since I started making content again even to the point of muting commenters that chime in just to be negative about the game. at some point though, the onus is no longer on us as players and enjoyers of the game to simply ask for what we'd like to see happen and give the devs the benefit of the doubt that it will eventually come. pvp players have been asking for a new opr map where ranged isn't at such an advantage relentlessly for over two years, yet nothing. at some point it has to fall back on the devs to actually make real, measurable progress. many players, like yourself, have already voiced their frustration by taking their time and attention elsewhere. I still play the game because I enjoy it sometimes and am inconsolably frustrated with it other times, I just want it to be as fun as I know it can be and as it once was.

@@PJsurely мы не знаем какое оборудование и зелья были у парня с топором, скорее всего далеко не BIS. Я, например, принципиально не пользуюсь зельями регенерации, зельями снижения урона и едой +44 или 48 тк это дорого. Почему разработчики не сделают бесплатное использование в ОПР как на арене для меня загадка. New World это в первую очередь MMO, а значит равных условий не будет никогда, оружие, броня, зелья вносят дисбаланс. Если хочешь справедливого боя, тебе в сессионные action MMO.

I think that might be my idea for my next video then, "gear doesn't matter". and use a bunch of random blue gear to show that it is the weapons and skills themselves which need balancing.

@@PJsurely я бы на это посмотрел, если это будет не в формате подборки, а нормальная запись без монтажа. Но опять же это будет "грязный" эксперимент так как, к счастью, в этой игре ещё многое зависит от навыков и рефлексов, благо это будет сразу заметно). Я допускаю, что если собрать синюю мету (копьё + рапира на средней броне) + использовать лучшие зелья, ты сможешь показать отличный средний результат. Пока что все твои идеи в видео и ответ на первый комментарий к сожалению высосаны из пальца и необоснованные. Ну и напомню, что в любой игре есть мета сборки, которые вносят дисбаланс и несправедливость.

well I've done unedited, full gameplay videos. they never perform as well telling me that people prefer highlights. I avoid doing "single kill" type clips like most people and try to at least make each segment a decently long stretch. if you watch any of my previous opr videos you'll never see me use regen pots or a rapier so I'm not sure why you're making so many assumptions, but I regularly play builds that are not the meta. once people finally catch on, and they become the meta, I move on to something else. nobody was playing hatchet when I started making videos with it, miicrow ranked it f-tier and said it was rarely used.. spear wasn't used when i made videos with it months and months ago. this isn't a "how to abuse the meta" channel. using blue gear does more than enough to prove that people are more concerned about which perks to use than they should be, regardless of any skill gap.

lol thank you brother

the video right before this one is a build guide.. is what it is I suppose
