The most powerful New World weapons for PvP and PvE The most powerful New World weapons for PvP and PvE Group Admins Public Group active 2 years, 9 months ago What are the best weapons in New World? From the powerful and surprising Hatchet to the sleek new Void Gauntlet, there are numerous factors to take into consideration when choosing your New World weapons. A loadout you feel comfortable with could make the difference between life and (temporary un-)death on the island of Aeternum, in which both the environment as well as other players can pose a danger to your life. With this New World weapons tier list We’ve put each weapon in order according to our experiences, and also included additional details to help you pick the weapon that is best for the way you play. Best New World weapons tier list The most effective weapons in the New World are: S-Tier: Hatchet, Life Staff A-Tier: Fire Staff, Great Axe, Sword and Shield, Void Gauntlet B-Tier: Ice Gauntlet, Spear, War Hammer C-Tier: Bow, Musket, Rapier In general, the types of weapons of weapons in New World can be found in a variety of ways. They’re all accessible — you’ll be given the Sword and Shield during the Prologue mission, but once the game is open, you’ll have an array of weapons in no time. Keep reading for details on each weapon and the reason we give them the same rating (or not so much) as we do. Hatchet Weapon Masteries: Berserker and Throwing The time we spent with the closed and open New World betas taught us that the Hatchet is more powerful than it sounds or even has any need to be. While it lacks the finesse of the other melee weapons with one hand and a lack of precision, the Hatchet is a beast of a damage-dealer, making it an ideal weapon for PvP, even if it’s slightly less suited to PvE battles. If you go down the Berserker Mastery route , you also gain the capability to heal your character even when the skill is on which is certainly appealing. In conjunction along with it’s Life Staff, the Hatchet can make you one-stop shop for healing and damage at extremely high levels (which is, in fact, the only method in which you can play New World solo for any length of time). Life Staff Weapon Masteries The Healing and Protector The best magical weapon is it’s the Life Staff. It’s an only item within New World which has the ability to heal teammates and , even though it’s more effective to have a dedicated person to use it, it does have offensive damage-dealing capabilities too. It’s probably the most practical magical weapon in the game, but it’s also not boring. In fact, you’ll never be able to participate in any of the game’s boss fights without the Life Staff somewhere in your group. Fire Staff Weapon Masteries The Flame Mage and Pyromancer Of the more aggressive magic weapons that are available, The Fire Staff is the premier option for pure damage (and in my opinion, is the best choice in this award on the basis of style points too). If you’re planning to build your character’s magic around the classic Mage archetype rather than being a in support, this could be your preferred weapon since it’s much more aggressive over the Life Staff. Great Axe Weapon Masteries: Mauler and Reaper In the end, (pun not intended) the winner of the category of Great Axe. The most powerful of two-handed melee weapons, it offers one of the strongest possibilities to control the damage and speed of any weapon used in the game. It’s not as easy to use as a single-handed weapon but, with time and a bit of investing in it’s Mauler Mastery tree to increase attack range and AoE, it could well be your preferred weapon when you’re in a tight spot. Sword and Shield Weapon Masteries Swordmaster and Defender It is important to note that the Sword and Shield technically class as a melee weapon with one hand, since even though they’re always joined, you really use the sword with one hand. While not as amazing as the Hatchet this duo is classically tanky, allowing you to do a good amount of damage, while also protecting yourself without restricting attack speed. PvP adversaries may know how to avoid it, but any threats you meet in PvE will have a hard time beating you with this combo. Void Gauntlet Weapon Mastery: Annihilation and Decay The Void Gauntlet was the first weapon to be added in New World as part of a post-launch content update. Similar to the manner in the same way that an Ice Gauntlet makes an ideal additional weapon to complement an Fire Staff, the Void Gauntlet perfectly complements that of the Life Staff; pairing the game’s magic weapons in this manner can lead to some very powerful designs. The Void Gauntlet’s balancing of ranged and melee Void healing and damage capabilities makes it an ideal option if you’re looking to play a support or mage role. Ice Gauntlet Weapon Masteries Builder and Ice Tempest In spite of the Fire Staff’s charm (not thank you) the Ice Gauntlet makes for a useful secondary weapon because it’s the only weapon that has the ability to regerenate mana to support other powerful primary weapons or as a backup weapon for defense if you’re carrying a two-handed melee weapon as your primary weapon for dealing damage. Spear Weapon Mastery: Impaler, and Zoner The Spear has the unfortunate circumstance of being runner-up in a strong category. It can deal decent damage and has an enviable capability to stun enemies with a quick knock-back but unfortunately this doesn’t tend to fool the real people that you’ll encounter in PvP a lot of the time. War Hammer Weapon Mastery: Crowd Crusher and Juggernaut The War Hammer isn’t quite in the same class as The Great Axe, but as part of a well-constructed design, it could be formidable. Because of its slow attack speed, it isn’t possible to rely on it on its own. War Hammer alone, but pairing it with a good defensive secondary weapon like the Ice Gauntlet can offset its weaknesses, allowing you to make the most of its high damage potential. Bow Weapon Mastery Skills: Hunter and Skirmisher Not all New World weapons are equal and, to be brutally truthful, ranged weapons tend to be the least effective group in general. If we’re going to be honest, however bows are more suitable, particularly for PvE and exploration purposes. With a little patience and an investment in upgrade points, the Skirmisher Mastery tree allows you to apply AoE effects to your shooting arrows, making it much easier and more satisfying weapon to use. Musket Weapon Mastery: Sharpshooter and Trapper Reload times that are long and the necessity of good target to cause regular damage means that the Musket in particular is a weak alternative to a well-balanced melee weapon in almost every situation. On the other hand any weapon in New World is without its uses. In the event that you or your allies are throwing yourselves into one of the massive New World’s PvP fights, the musket makes a strong choice of secondary weapon thanks to its comparatively large damage dealt per shot, however it’s vital to carry an assault weapon as the primary weapon to perform crowd-control. (Trust us: don’t be concerned with the musket’s own secondary melee weapon.) Rapier Weapon Mastery: Blood and Grace The Rapier is undeniably very quick and can do some impressive damage, but the fact that it’s almost impossible to take on multiple enemies at a time using this weapon limits its use, especially when it comes to PvP. It’s pretty effective in one-on-one combat with a variety of defensive options when you wait for that perfect chance to attack with a swath of force, but the abilities aren’t able to be used for crowd control. New Weapons of the World: how to choose your weapons There aren’t any classes for character within New World, so there are no restrictions on the weapons your character can equip. Instead, we recommend to try every weapon you can get feel for the ones you like the best, then incorporate your preferred gameplay style into your character’s design taking on the quest for Weapon Mastery of your favourites. Each weapon has two routes for you to master, with a skill tree for each. Within New World you can carry and equip two weapons at a time. Even though it’s tempting just to take your two favourites, it’s a better choice to select two weapons that complement each in a way, instead of sticking to one specific type of weapon. Different weapons are more useful in different situations. In the event of a PvP fight, you’ll need to be able of moving quickly, which means ideally you should use lighter weapons without compromising on damage. In PvE you’ll be able to sacrifice some of that speed for tankier damage-dealing potential. Choosing weapons for PvP and PvE When choosing PvP weapons, it’s important to strike a balance between the chance of doing your enemies harm and the likelihood that a weapon can slow you down. Weapons with a slow sweeping attack or just a single shot can be powerful when handled correctly, however, unless you’re part of an entire group of strong players with dedicated back-up roles behind you, you really want to have a weapon that allows you to immediately defend yourself against attacks from the other side. It’s the Great Axe and Hatchet are generally accepted as the most effective options although I’m also in favor to the offensive/defensive mix offered by the Sword and Shield. It’s not hard to see the importance of the Life Staff will be in PvP situations, since it offers decent damage-dealing potential with the ability to heal both the wielder and their companions. It’s actually much simpler to pack for a PvE excursion than the typical PvP fight with your friends in New World, because of course, the AI won’t be able to be as well-adjusted as your fellow players are in relation to meta. I like to view PvE as an opportunity to try out the weapons that I’d like improve my skills with however, there are some weapons that are effective in PvE better than other weapons. Magical weaponry isn’t quite as powerfully useful against wild boars like other players, for instance it’s certainly not worth the cost of consuming your mana. A well-placed, ranged shot can take large chunks of health off an AI enemy which is then more likely than an opponent who is human would be to give you some breathing space to replenish before completely demolishing you in return. In any circumstances, it’s that Hatchet and the Great Axe that continue to be the most powerful weapons in the New World. The rarity of weapons Another aspect to consider when choosing your guns is rarity. Contrary to the opinions we’ve laid out in this article there aren’t any weapons varieties in New World that are completely qualitatively more rare or superior to any of the others. However, there are five levels of rarity that are color-coded which can be applied to any weapon, regardless of which one you choose to prefer, HomeMembers 1Media 0 RSS Show: Everything Updates Group Memberships Viewing 1 - 0 of 0 items maplestoryif2 created the group The most powerful New World weapons for PvP and PvE 2 years, 9 months ago ·
