The Flail seems to be seen as "underpowered" or "less impactful" than other weapons to pair with the Life Staff but that is FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH! In todays video I will be going over why the Flail in New World is INSANELY STRONG to pair with the Life Staff in small scale PVP!

Nice Video bro! i was really looking to up my flail game and this was the perfect step by step guide. Good work!

@jdub0422 9 ай бұрын

I’m liking featherweight just for the ability to run small round shield and maintain light armor bonuses. It’s saved me quite a bit so far.

Every time I see one of your videos come out it makes me want to start up New World again. Maybe after Ive finally burned myself out of BG3, I may come back. Awesome video as always, brother. Its been awesome to see you grow here on youtube and become a positive figure in the New World community. Mad love and respect my guy.

Can i ask why the life staff from the first part changed to the one you had at the end? Was there a reason for this? Or is Sacred ground + Orb + Beacon , Just not as good as Divine Embrace + Sacred ground + Beacon?

@JokeJok 9 ай бұрын

I really think people haven't understood the purpose of the Flail. Many say: Flail healing sucks. Yes they are right, we are not going to replace the Staff. But the goal here, like a Void, is to provide buff/debuff. We heal with the Staff, we switch with the Flail to provide support and annoy the group in front, to return to the Staff. A rapier won't heal you either ^^ I don't think they wanted to release a pure healing weapon like the Staff.

Thoughts on the med build w/ a Kite shield instead of light? Slightly less heal output, but holy crap is it tank. 200 CON, 392 FOC, 50 STR. Using Attuned Leather Pants for large magnify and +48 food (foc or con)

@LibertyOrDeath87 9 ай бұрын

As for PVE healing, what build would you run with the flail or would that same PVP ability selection work for ya? And if you doubled Odo for a tank spec, would you put a gem slot in, instead of blessed?

@baboonbanana99 9 ай бұрын

Yes, definitely run a gem slot for tanking! For PVE healing I would run Vortex, Smite, and either Trip or Bludgeon.

@botjeff5764 9 ай бұрын

good video bro, a small question, why don't you use any shield??

@baboonbanana99 9 ай бұрын

It doesn't offer anything valuable to a healer build in light armor - and it makes you more squishy. The shield Flail passives aren't that great for healers. You could definitely run a shield in medium armor - which I have a build guide coming out for soon!

I saw you were suggesting a weapon perk for Divine Embrace but when you pulled up your build, you run the same build I do. Orb instead. What perk do you recommend for when you don't use Divine Embrace? I'm trying to figure out an arena setup.

@baboonbanana99 8 ай бұрын

What part in the video were you referring to? Also I recommend all arena healers to use Divine Embrace and Sacred, and then choose a 3rd ability from there. DE and Sacred are always mandatory. DE perk on Life Staff!

The overall goal is to be 700 GS, but you want to have BIS. Every 3 days you can get a BIS. Make sure you're buying chromatic seals from the faction vendor!

So I’m new to the game, I started playing a few weeks before the expansion. I had to make a new character because my server got flooded with streamers and I couldn’t play. I went with LS/Flail on the new server. I’m still only like level 40, doing the MSQ. I’m a solo player for now, I’m running vortex/trip/whip shot and on staff I’m running the first lifestaff you showed, idk the names but the orb you shoot out, the beacon, and the one with the long cooldown that sticks to people. I’m running full light with a round shield. I was going to get featherweight and run a tower shield. Do you think that would be fine for now for solo play? Or drop the shield and get a few med pieces of armor?

@baboonbanana99 9 ай бұрын

I would definitely continue running the Orb of Protection, Beacon, and Sacred Ground build on your Life Staff! In the description is the best armor weight to wear with a round shield in light armor using Featherweight. I would recommend wearing light armor while soloing and swapping Trip to Arcane Smite for more AOE dps and CDR! The other abilities are great

@PoohOnYourShoe 9 ай бұрын

@@baboonbanana99I will try that. Thanks! I enjoy running trip because when I’m fighting mobs and it gets too much, I can trip one or two to give me a break and focus on the others, usually I’ll trip and whip, but if I’m like half hp or the enemies I tripped have shields I go right into vortex and get 1/4 of my life back. It’s also great when I run expeditions and my tank has a lot of aggro I run in and trip hit vortex and give his Stam a break

Hello newbie here, i really like the healer role on new world. But im still confused which one is better for the 2nd weapon flail or Vg. I mean the flail got mobility but im not sure if that’s enough for me to consider using flail.

@baboonbanana99 9 ай бұрын

Rapier is by far the best weapon for surviving in PvP as it has the most mobility. I would start off by getting good with the Rapier before playing with Flail or VG. Flail and VG are utility weapons that have abilities that need to be timed properly to combo with your team. If you're considering which weapon to use you should decide what playstyle you want to takeover, first!

what kind of shield are you using?

@baboonbanana99 9 ай бұрын

No shield with this build, shields don't offer anything valuable for a healer. It's better to use our stamina for dodges!

@LibertyOrDeath87 9 ай бұрын

@@baboonbanana99was going to ask the same thing. Would shield be better cause you can basically absorb more hits instead of dodging right? Also, thank you for the video. I’m new to healing cause the flail makes it so much more fun to be a battle cleric. When do you want to use divine embrace over orb of protection?

@baboonbanana99 9 ай бұрын

@@LibertyOrDeath87 Yes, you can absorb more hits with a shield but it puts you in a vulnerable spot. The best play style I've found so far is keeping my distance and tossing my heals then using Flail CDs/autos when necessary. I rarely ever block if i am in danger - its better used to block burst damage quickly and then start moving away which you can do without a shield. Getting good at evading with dodges will make you a better player in the long run for surviving 1vX scenarios compared to holding block. Also wearing a shield lowers the amount of physical/elemental armor you have unless you wear Featherweight. TLDR: Shielding puts you in a bad spot to survive, makes you squisher, and offers no real benefit other than class identity.

do you think flail / LS is going to be better than void gauntlet / LS? or is VG or rapier still gonna be meta

@baboonbanana99 9 ай бұрын

VG and Rapier will still be meta for outputing max heals and survivability. Flail puts you in such a vulnerable spot for the little healing it provides. Flail is much better in small scale pvp playing with teammates. It has too much duo/trio synergy!
