OMG you made my dream build as a guide! I cant believe i have now my personal guide video to follow haha thanks! I'm very excited!

"barebones gear guide" proceeds to give the most complex and informative gear guide i've ever seen 😅

Sorry haven't seen one of your videos in a while but this popped up and I watched it. Man you are GETTIN IT! Seriously one of the best bow players I've seen!

THIS IS OUTDATED. read below discord.gg/qBW7fbxTHN check out the discord :D has up to date build info + updates

Love those videos, keep up the grind :)! Waiting for more

Perfect video and explanation, everything I was looking for, tyvm I will try to replicate your set as much as I can (just came back to NW xd). Cheers!

For a dude that gets so much hate mail you are super chill helpful thoughtful I always see you answering questions in every single one of your videos not only are you one of the few KZfaqrs who even actually makes decent New world content the fact that you went above and beyond to truly explain everything that went into your build is just awesome you clearly took your time thank you "ps as the only good guide around I see sooo many new people on my server and old ones that run bow now it's wild" bow bros for life

You finally took off!! I’ve been a sub for a long time and I really love your content and your style. Happy to see your channel grow- have fun and continue growing!!

Amazing video my friend, thx for this

I really need this breakdown. Thank you

Crit chance also resets if you swap targets if people are wondering why youve non crit multiple times in a row. Good video I like how you broke down the stamina regen per frame.

Thank you man this was great

Great guide dude, sounds like we agree on pretty much everything 😁👏

A fellow bow user ! I love this video. You answered ANY and ALL the questions I had with PvP . THANK YOU

man, that's a good gear and build explanation, good job on that

Thanks great guide... gonna need a new bow for sure ^^

nice work and nice vid as always buddy. Ive run a similar build with similar gear. Ive switched for skewer (replacining vault kick). Reasons: skewer on weapon (44% damage reduction on enemies is too great for wars/oprs/arenas/1vx. They barely damage you after you hit that. Its a great follow up for your jav (ive hit 6kcrit skewers on full resi light users after a jav, on top of the bleed). Also for the 20% empower when it crits, for 10 seconds, which is a lot. Im also using coup de grace (not always as I dont wanna be stuck in the animation when there are more enemies) for the armor buff, which is renewing itself everytime your coup de grace target bleeds (I use Gash ring as well). That said, I have bleeds from keenly jagged (bow), explosive shot, keenly jagged (spear), skewer, bleeding sweep. 5 bleeds applied, im ticking over 1k a second on full resi TANKS. Try it out when you have a chance. cheers!

Glad to see a guide!

NICE VID MY MAN! LOTS OF GOOD TIPS ON BIS! 10/10

sick sick sick.... Keep up the good stuff sir

Love ur vids

No bad at all,… cheers mate!

Awesome video my dude 👌🏻

As a person who loves to understand stats and make builds this video was perfect 😊 especially as a new player to NW

Everything u say makes sense good stuff

Thank you sir!

yo thanks for the great info. not a lot of up to date good info out there for bow players to reference. keep up the great content. [update] just tried that combo and sheesh lol thanks again

Nice work!

Hey you make some great content, subscribed. Would you consider making a video on aiming with the bow in new world, any tips or tricks you have would help alot!

Really sick guide mate. And awesome clips too. This has helped me so much and made me pretty excited to give NW another try (left at like 520 expertise). A few questions for you though if you are still reading them: Why do you take Arrow Range over Concussion? Does Arrow Range effect the amount of damage you do at longer ranges, or just the trajectory? Considering how aggressively you position it doesn't really seem like you fight much beyond 100m anyway. Could definitely just be me only seeing your clips and not everything else you do though. Also wondering what you make of the headshot perks in general (ie Hawkeye, Vorpal) too. Obviously I know you'd say Vorpal isn't BIS but in the world of non-BIS perks, where would you rank it? I like it a lot for PvE and it seems a bit easier to come by on the market. Lastly, do you plan on making a video for a war/PvE builds? Or perhaps a more backline focused PvP build? 1v3s obviously make for more hype YT content (which I love, btw!) but I am really wondering if you'd build differently if your playstyle was less about flanking or going for picks and more focused on playing with your team (I don't do enough damage to do what you do, heh). I'm sure you've tried that while coming up with this build and would love to hear what your thoughts are. Thanks!

Appreciate you putting this out there! Any tips/suggestions for using this in dungeons?

Amazing video

Helps me alot

If you don't mind I'd love to see a PVE build for spear/bow. Liked/subbed!

Your voice is so seductive. Thank you for blessing us today deityvengy❤️‍🔥 Well said well said. See you in vegas

Awesome video, it was really enjoyable. I have a question though. Back at the launch when I left the game there were Voidbent gear which were crafted through armory it was considered the best you can get apart from rare dungeon drops. How is it now? Does the crafted gear still has value or not? and if you can please explain where you got yours as it would help me (a returning player) to catch up and follow your guide. Thank you very much.

Do you have a war build ? You’re the man. Thanks for the vid.

finally a video where someone knows wtf he talkin about. Hittin you on disc for a few questions my guy

nice build im trying to practice with the bow mainly a hatchet / gs player here

Been using a Razor Tartarus keypad for playing. But in fps game I usually use a joystick to move, fire, crouch etc. Awsd mapped to x y axis.. It makes for smoother gameplay. Have enough buttons for all the attacks, potions on the hat switch, aim on the fire button so I don't have to hold the mouse button with bow all day.

Hey :) Thanks for the guide. Was returning to the game and wondering if this is still viable. Which Runeglass would you recommend? So many glasses to chose from: staking ele damage, sta regen, range damage... Also I noticed that it is alot easier to get resistances, since nature used to be bis for attunement does this still stand? Alot of people are probably getting nature runeglasses to prevent it or is this assumption inaccurate?

Very informative. Just swapped over to bow 2 weeks ago. Can u do the war build in same style too?

lol legit, majority of the questions that I was afraid to ask u in-game u answered here. idk if i missed it, but what're your thoughts about an ele gem vs the opal in your weapons? also, im kinda torn between 2 bows rn and im not sure which would be better. I have a keen/vicious/jagged and attunement/keenly emp/enchanted. thoughts?

Do you have a guide on how you obtained the gear or what each item is? Getting back into NW and wanted to find a guide to put together what you have. Thanks -- great guide!

Thanks for the guide :) I have a question for you: Skewer, it has a really strong weapon perk with weaken and gives you a hefty 20% empowerment for 10 sec. Would it not makes sense, for some situations, to drop sweep and just apply a quick skewer to gain more burst/pressuring power? Would really like to hear your opinion on this. Thanks!

Hello, a question: In combat do you prefer to make a heavy or light attack with the bow? What do you advise?

Awesome gear! Can you share your PvE Gear? Or a gear guide on PVE as Bow/Spear

Bow and spear is great fun. Playing it for a full day now. Still working on muscle memory, with light Armour you die quick if hit lol.

Hey man great video nicely explained. İ tryed with a similiar setup its fun. But i run spear hatcet this times around. Since you kinda know all the perks i need to know for close range combats you think its better to run nimble or regeneration? İ usually play arena and opr.

Excellent. Do you play with a high dpi or camera speed?

Great video and strong build, no doubt of it. What you think about bow state right now? I'm a musket player and I feel that bow do double the damage in half of the time, I usually play closer in the fight, not the 100m sniper type, but I need to run 50 con and do way less damage. Thx in advance

What armor class should each piece be? I know at launch there was some breakpoint / making sure you are still light but utilizing most armor pieces in certain slots? Also, I am just returning at 500 gs, what gear and weapon should I buy?

Hi, great video, I have a question, I don't know if it's already been asked but where can you loot the rapier Icicle , because I can't find where the black alligator are? Thank you for your answer

Love your content man! I’m thinking about coming back and playing again. What do you think of the current state of the game?

Thank you very much for your guide 👍. A question, why dont you use mortal empowered on your ring?

Help me understand vicious. Is it a flat 10-12% added to your multiplier so a 1.3 weapon now has 1.42 or does it just add 12% bonus based off the 1.3 multiplier and attacking players resilience. So if a enemy player has 25% resilient gear you do 5% more dmg to them when you crit compared to the normal 30% so does adding vicious mean you now do 17% more crit dmg in total? Or does it only add 12% dmg to the 5% dmg?

I just wanted to ask to clarify, I saw the update and people saying that some weapon perk buffs dont stay upon weapon swap, keenly (empowered?) being one of them, is this true? (this is in regards to keenly empowered on your spear)

Any new perks you should take on the spear? since keenly empowered doesnt transfer over anymore on weaponswap?

I have an HUGE doubt, in what sec weapon i should invest, Rapier or Spear. WOULD BE GREATT if you can make a comparation guide. Every bow player has that question, WHAT IS THE BEAST/BEST/STRONGEST/KING SEC WEAPON?

like and sub for this guide. Have seen so many "bis bow/spear guide/gameplay" videos that just go over what they have and never why or how. Was about to start crafting heart bows, glad to hear that i'll have to force roll attunement instead of wasting mats doing it first

Thoughts on javelin/skewer/perforate instead

I hate how much I agree with you and everyone else says this is bis or that is bis xD For the longest time I tell people medium pants light chest is cheaper min max and it's the same armor value but then they reference an out of date beta chart that has different values than your chart

What do you think about medium armor for bow/spear? I know it's worse than light, but can I get a good build with medium armor?

what are the attributes on your gear in order to achieve 310 dex and 200 con? Is it pure Dex everywhere or also Con gear?

Hi. Great guide, thanks! Why go invigorated punishment over thrust damage? I know thrust damage gives less bonus damage (4.9%) but how often you get 6% increase for damage from inv punishmet? Does invigorated punishment give 4% bonus damage for 2 fortify buffs on opponent or has it to be different buffs to count?

Empower does not transfer on weapon swap. It used to, but the last 10 or so times I’ve tested it (on like 4 different weapons), it did not work each time. I also used to use empower on my offhand weapon for the purpose of swapping and using it for my main weapon damage. Just thought I’d let you know this! And if your empower swap still works, then rock with it I guess! Mine does not lol

What do you think of shirking fort as it is noticibly missing from your set?

hi, great video! is this bow crafted? or dropped by some boss?

Have u tried rapid shot? I think it's overtuned rn and way better than evade shot - low cooldown, almost no cd if you hit with all 3, stagger on the last one that allows you to land 1 more hit right after, also the perk is really nice, I'm trying it out on bow and it feels like it hits like 3 penetrating shots lol, really interested what do you think about this one

Can i ask a couple of things about the gear ? my first one is, is it mandatory to have the shirking energy on the pants bcs you say it so specific second are the weapon perks really needed on the armor ?

What about Abyssal/Flame/etc Attunement over Arboreal on bow? Does it matter?

freshly dinged 60 here. Would you still play bow/spear now or change it to bow/GS or bow/rapier?

Hi vengy, quick question, why explo shot over rapid shot? I feel like explo wiffs a lot, tho it might only be a high latency problem that you might not be affected by

Out of curiosity why 4 Resil instead of 5? You said you didnt want to get too into it but you have me curious now lol

Hey, I have a question that bothers me still after watching. Are your Stamina Regeneration numbers from 0-100% based on NOT fully exhausted stamina regen rate? I still think there is this bug(?) that makes stamina regen slower with Hearty after FULLY EXHAUSTED, not just slower in total compared to no-hearty because its a 9.8% bigger pool, but even slower than that.. basically making it so "Just Hearty is the worst from 0-100% AND also slowest on regen rate, but only if Fully Exhausted. So my question is of your per-frame tests were done on normal (yellow bar) regen or after fully exhausted (gray bar)? Thanks.

Sorry if im missing something, but why do you use mana potions in this build?

Can i ask a thing? What attributes are u using on Armor? Everything DEX? Or CONST? I don't get the math

So is it not worth using the expensive abyssal onyx gems that give you the 2% percent void damage on your armor with a bow that has an amethyst? Should i just use an opal on the bow and the standard onyx gems on my armor?

quick question, What if i run chain instead of attunement? i can find vicious/jagged/chain but attunement is like 100k way too much

What's your PC config ? No idea how you get that much FPS. I've everything at low, I still only get like 60fps without fighting and when I do, maybe like 40 or less.... (Btw really instructive video, thanks for sharing that, very helpful)

What is your thoughts on critical retribution on one piece?

What do you think about runeglass of arboreal for a spear arboreal attunement ?

lol after your vid I legit went to gamble and craft some bows, got literally the same one you have in 30 rolls haha

How did you get your gear pieces? It’s so expensive on my server. I have 200 armoring, but again, to run 3 major armoring trophies is expensive AF.

What do you think about mortal empower on that ring?

Do you prefer Keen over Thrust Damage?

So if i use the Icicle Rapier, is it good to get Pants with Res, Shriking Energy and Sundering Riposte? Because if i switch between the rapier and speer, the pants are bad, no?

but what about the attributes? all dexterity? i dont see that in the guide..

Hey man how do you get the Icicle rapier? It looks amazing and I cant find info anywhere.

Rotation guide?

Another question, would you still run 200 con with rapier?

What's your take on using 50 str. 50/250/200?

What boss drops "Icicle" (Rapier)??

Did you farm or buy your Icicle?

Like ur Voice

Hey, how much do you think the spear you have is worth? i got the same one on a fresh start but idk how much can i ask for it

How come I don't have 13k HP with 200 CON like you? I have Health perk on amulet as well.

why nature, void and frost attunement is best? why not arcane for example, cuz no one will make a arcane gem in his armor??

Where do you get icicle rapier?

taking archer's speed over concussion in the skill tree? why? isn't the haste buff from dodge & weave pretty much up all the time anyway?
