~ New World Aeternum ~ PvP Island Great Sword Hatchet Build Guide ~

[@KingxYoshi]

Have you noticed how heavy greatsword desync keeps happening. Don’t hit anywhere near as often. Also just got the speed gs artifact. Gonna theory craft w it today

[@RAW_Fit]

@@KingxYoshi yea great sword tracking got nerfed and hatchet tracking got a buff. Grace build is next on the schedule. It should be a fun one to play with.

[@NYgiants88]

Yeah hatchet absorbed Greatswords tracking

[@050DeanW]

Looking forward to the Grace guide mate.

[@Somordorp]

Thank you so much, finally someone talking about detailed builds. Im a beginner and dont understand why I always fail in pvp, but this build helps alot. I just dont understand how you manage to get your attributes without buff food? I cannot reach 200 con.

[@RAW_Fit]

@@Somordorp I have food buff on. Food buffs have been disappearing off the buff bar a lot but still show in my stats.

[@shahin9119]

Thank you for the build. I just started playing the game and i was wondering if there is a build for a starter something that can survive a 1v3 maybe Thanks!

[@RAW_Fit]

This is one of those builds trenchant recovery has 1k heal per heavy attack. Play it smart and you'll be able to outlast most as long as they don't have a healer. Healers will always make the task much more difficult.

[@shahin9119]

@ thanks!

[@Machao2005]

I know this is a few weeks old but i have seen a few builds like this, with the main exception that they use shirking heals+tumblers. What are your thoughts on those vs your build? I think im too slow mentally to dodge effectively 😂

[@RAW_Fit]

@@Machao2005 you have to rely on shirking heals and if you are plagued shirking heals doesn't work very well. I run plague on a lot of my builds this one included ;) tumblers imo is better with medium and using a high stam regenerating build like hatchet spear or GS.

[@afinale]

Hey raw, love the builds. Quick question: for your weapon artifact and jewelry what would you run on this ideally? Im running something similar and debating between sin or serenity. And then endless thirst for jewelry im guessing?

[@RAW_Fit]

@@afinale Sin or Francesca's hatchet would both be good in this build but not needed by any means. As for jewelry, yes, endless thirst would be the only artifact worth running in this build.

[@MKGAMEZTV]

W build

[@Hysocs]

i had to pull out the bow/vg and run as high con as i can and still do dmg to deal with how many players are running this build as they are hunting range, they get surprised when im a ranged tank XD. its crazy how many people are using it. i was tempted but i dont feel like redoing my gear after getting 700+ gs on fresh start

[@RAW_Fit]

@@Hysocs you'll see over time gear can kind of accumulate as you play the game naturally. My recommendation would be to not worry about new gear rather just save pieces if they look viable for future use/builds/changes to build.

[@RAW_Fit]

@@Hysocs bow vg tank would be a funny one to see out there but hey if it works! Rock it!

[@spankyjeffro5320]

If you're not using all weapons and armours you aren't playing correctly.

[@Eloewyst]

Any way to swap the GS for spear or sns and keep the build the same? And if so, which spear would you recommend? Thanks man! Loving the build so far!

[@RAW_Fit]

@@Eloewyst I'd drop the hatchet for sns or spear. Reason being is the GS is what's going to break the stam on targets which is critical for those tanky boys. Try to always have 1 weapon (if you're melee) that breaks stam. SNS and spear are very weak like the hatchet in breaking stam.

[@Eloewyst]

@@RAW_Fitthanks man! Also when trying to get a perfect rolled hatchet, would I just keep buying the 725 hatchet and hope it comes with the correct parks? Or is there a way to change them at all?

[@peaceofmind4757]

​@Eloewyst I'm pretty sure once you get it you can add a perk. But you have to buy it again with doubloons essentially recrafting it then you can change the last perk. Assuming you're talking about the ck rolls

[@RAW_Fit]

@@Eloewyst buy the 710 weapon crates the 725 is not worth as ull need the coconut to upgrade artifacts.

[@Shane20231]

I do have the 710 hatchet but when I look to upgrade it, the rogue perk disappears and looks to be the one that would get replaced, do I need to get one that rolls different so it doesn’t get replaced when upgrading?

[@IdrisImi]

I want to play a winged shoes grace build, but struggling to think of a good second weapon. I really like SNS with a tower shield, but that auto locks me to Heavy without featherweight. So, great axe or hatchet seems to be the only two other viable options? Which one do you think will perform better on grace and winged shoes?

[@IdrisImi]

Also, since Grace doesn't have any leeching, would it be better to play it with leeching crosscut instead and put relentless freedom on the winged leather shoes?

[@RAW_Fit]

@@IdrisImi both will perform good. I've done both build guides with winged shoes last season. This season I'll be updated the GA /GS Build eventually. But to give you a simple answer GS hatchet has the most built in haste and has slightly more synergy the ga / gs

[@Chucky-wf1xh]

Just got the pestilence today and I’m wondering what perk I should put on it

[@RAW_Fit]

@@Chucky-wf1xh gem socket for DMG.

[@PooyaBadiee]

Hi. would you go for artifact for jewelry or weapons?

[@RAW_Fit]

@@PooyaBadiee You could use sin with this build 100% as for jewelry. I'm not a huge fan of any of the artifacts for assassin builds. Endless thirst is pretty good but the long CDs sometimes can screw you.

[@mlv6522]

do u like this build more or the haste build with the winged shoes?

[@RAW_Fit]

Sorry I saw your message live. Tried respond to you, hope you heard it but there is a slight delay so sometimes my answer don't get to you right away! But long story short I enjoy both for 2 different purposes. Grace build would not be a great choice in the island due to the type of builds you'll fight there vs OPR or even 3s.

[@CruxJP]

What you think about either Sin,serenity or grace ? In this build

[@RAW_Fit]

@@CruxJP Grace build just dropped, enjoy.

[@CruxJP]

@RAW_Fit what u think bout sin ?

[@RAW_Fit]

@CruxJP I love Sin, very fun artifact here is a few sin builds. Hatchet perks for sin have not changed. Sin/SnS kzbin.info/www/bejne/omHEeGyJoal0idU Sin/BB kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpTZin1upJKke9k

[@Bengis_Kahn]

Good video as always! Can u do Blunderbuss + Fire Staff build in the future? I can only find an old build of it. I would like to see how to build it in this current patch. Thank you!

[@wiktoriaf.630]

What do you think about the butcher+ hatchet combo ? The butcher have huge bleed potencial and witch hatchet can be really OP

[@RAW_Fit]

@@wiktoriaf.630 yup it definitely would work. SNS hatchet in general is a very good combo!

[@Eloewyst]

What jewelry artifact are you going to be using? I may have missed you saying it. Thanks!

[@RAW_Fit]

@@Eloewyst for this build a jewelry artifact isn't needed but if you did want one endless thirst would be your best bet.

[@Eloewyst]

What’s the best perk to put on featherweight when you upgrade it? Thanks! 🙏

[@RAW_Fit]

@Eloewyst for artifacts, I like good overall defense perks. Slash conditioning, thrust conditioning, health, elemental aversion, enchanted ward. From greatest value to least above.

[@cedricfergani9574]

U have a build for pve ( dps no tank ) with hatchet and gs ? :) im new and i love this weapons

[@RAW_Fit]

@@cedricfergani9574 I currently only do PVP builds but I've been having an added interest in pve builds so maybe in the future 🤔

[@colton6806]

are you using attribute food? no matter what i do i cannot get 300 str, 100 dex, and 200 con... I'm trying to figure out why my character does no dmg and gets blowed up in seconds... I have 700gs and okay perks i THOUGHT lol.. Do i just have to get Enchanted ward on every piece for pvp?? I'm using 4 opal gems for ele dmg and onyx for physical. And im gettin chunked down while hardly doing any damage to the enemy.

[@RAW_Fit]

yes I use attribute food, honing stone, and desert sunrise when pvping. Likely your trying to trade in onslaught stance.. never trade dmg in onslaught. always trade dmg in guard point and only go onslaught when your winning the fight to finish with a big burst. Never "hang" out in onslaught. the moment you are done hitting them swap weapons to avoid the passive rend it applies.

[@colton6806]

@RAW_Fit thanks for the tip lol. Other guides I've seen with hatchet/GS they aren't even using defensive stance so I was just lost

[@RAW_Fit]

@colton6806 for OPR yes, not for pvp island. You'll lose the trade to a void blade very fast.

[@colton6806]

@RAW_Fit i rather the best build for solo/ 1vX gameplay. Is blooddrinker okay with the build or not worth? Endless thirst isn't available atm and I got a blooddrinker drop

[@Rof1an]

Hi, i played same build and love to use 2 greatsword skills only and put cut stone on 20% dmg when skills on CD. And i wonder why you using this Skill in Q slot of Greatsword. i think cast is long and this is not stun or something

[@RAW_Fit]

@@Rof1an moonstone works great. I do that for a lot of my opr builds kzbin.info/www/bejne/pICcgH5vn9N-i9E here is a great example as for rupture it makes you uninterrupted for 5 seconds and puts you in defiance stance allowing greater "trade" when you go against chunky boys.

[@ЕвгенийНосач-х6ю]

What you think about blood drinker unique for this build?

[@RAW_Fit]

@@ЕвгенийНосач-х6ю you could but you'd be taking away more damage and would maybe need to adjust your attributes. I'll be honest not a huge fan of blood drinker.

Only with tumbler boots. It needs more self heals to sustain through the long 7 sec CD. Tumblers, 4 piece shirking heals, medium spear would benefit the most from shirking heals.
