New World: Getting Started Healing Guide | My Healer Build

[@zapntoo4316]

Thanks for putting this out. As a returning healer I got excited when you mentioned the “new” single target key binds. The targeting was one of things I hated the most about the nuke heals in this game.

[@gingerlovesmmos]

Oh and I’ve also redone this on my controller and wow, what a difference:)

[@dooley9621]

It don't matter how you speak my brother we can hear you just fine. Thanks for sharing

[@gingerlovesmmos]

I appreciate that

[@loudmcleod7127]

I love healing. Healed in WoW for years. Just jumping back into New World after a long break. Can't wait to get it all figured out again

[@gingerlovesmmos]

Welcome back to new world :)

[@GroovySK828]

Great guide, I start playing New world yesterday (Sunday) and enjoying it. This guide helped me as I always enjoy playing as healer (or tank).

[@gingerlovesmmos]

Welcome to new world. Glad this was helpful

Life Staff is really bad as a weapon early on, it is worth finding another weapon you feel comfortable with and using LS for heals in between. It never really does damage, so solo play really does need a weapon you can use an amber in. I have always run with Life Staff with a Diamond& Great Axe with an Amber. Great Axe helps me out when i am surrounded and can clear out mobs. Currently trying out the Void Gauntlet again to try and enhance my healing after the nerfs we got. I use Lights Embrace, Beacon & Sacred Ground, i find it works well for me and my game play style. I will be trying Great Sword when we get it in live. I have all con armour and con on my amulet and focus on ring & earring giving me 150 con and all other points into focus. with food, i can get to 307 focus ;)

[@novawilliams873]

nice indpeth vid, categorization, and very comprehesive explanation per step of information. Didntg skip any steps, reassuring players to have fun, there's no time limit to healing, and over all a great guide. 10/10

[@gingerlovesmmos]

Thanks Nova :)

“Find the fun and not the efficiency” best gaming quote ever!

[@muel3631]

Great guide for a returning healer, thanks. subscribed!

[@amadusprime]

The way you speak is fine, bro. Thanks for the excellent healing content.

[@gingerlovesmmos]

Thanks Adam :)

[@Puni9000]

Some comments: Amazing guide :) Two things I want to point out are that the perk, "Protector's Strength" (if you have a buff heal for 20% more), even works with the food buff from Hearty Meals! It's a free +20% to your heals Second, the perk "Desperate Speed" (when you heal an ally below 50% health, LS ability cooldowns are reduced by 10%.) only has a 5 second cooldown. It's really strong and it gets your abilities up really quickly!

[@DrewZ_91]

Finally a guide that FUN is a factor. People need to stop following the meta and do what feels right and works for them.

[@gingerlovesmmos]

Agreed, FUN > meta IMO

[@moroblizniak4457]

I respec myself for Focus becouse i wanted to check out healer gameplay and i absolutley love it. Problem is: i dont have much time during the day and im often forced to play alone. And its god damn HARD to PVE with focus only...

[@stewart2590]

Thanks!!! Love healing in this game!!

[@gingerlovesmmos]

Same here :)

[@JustChillinOnThe5thFloor]

I wish their was a couple more support weapons or elements. Wands, charms, musical instruments(used for combat buffs), druid abilities, Just feel support the short end of types of weapons.

[@gingerlovesmmos]

Agreed!

[@coriohttv]

thanks for this video! at launch, one of the things that out me off was the healing staff controls (specifically the spell that was tiny and you had to use scroll wheel to change who it lands on). the thing is, I love being a healer, and I plan on giving NW another go, and might just give the Healing Staff another go too

[@gingerlovesmmos]

If you need anything, just let me know.

[@coriohttv]

@@gingerlovesmmos thanks, will do! Really appreciate it

[@oRobin95]

Great guide ! My very urgent question would be: How did you get to show all health group bars above your group members ?? That's my worst nightmare as a healer and if you could fix this for me that'd just perfect ! Cheers!

[@Avaloniac]

i started as a healer from lvl 6....struggeld so hard doing higher level solo quests..now im full dex...at least till i finished all quests :)

[@Siiimon426]

Ty bro! King

[@TheNiktus]

When you're a noob and see the title of the video, you're happy. But when you see the stuff of the character, you turn back lol. I'll be back when i'll have your stuff... or not

[@GamerPhilosophy]

WOW Thanks for this tips really nice video colleague gaming youtuber , i subscribed keep up good work 💞👌😊👍

[@gingerlovesmmos]

Thanks and welcome to the channel fellow KZbinr

[@youssefhabbal6278]

Thanks a lot for the awesome content ! Help us a lot as beginners. I have a question for you or any viewers that can answer. What is the different between a normal and reinforced item ? I looked for the reinforced items in the tradepost and couldn't find any. Thanks in advance :)

[@gingerlovesmmos]

Reinforced used to be a perk, but (I could be wrong here) that all changed to indestructible (where gear doesn't take damage) so now when I look at the markets, it's just a name, I'm not seeing any difference in the gear, or its durability.

[@Atljeepboy]

I would love to see a life staff/fire staff (PVE) build with both attributes and weapon stats. I like life staff and I tried void gautlet but I personally think Fire staff is more fun for me. I know its not the ideal build but I like it.

[@gingerlovesmmos]

I’m about to start leveling firestaff (currently 11) and then I’ll play around with some builds

[@Atljeepboy]

@Ginger World Gaming thanks I'm really liking fire staff

[@chrisdubay4212]

Enjoyed the vid. Just came back. Started with GS and LS- but the lack of mobility with GS is beginning to show. At lv 13 with GS- going to finish leveling it. I am mostly PvE, a little PvP What would you recommend for next weapon? Thanks afain

[@gingerlovesmmos]

Beyond Light staff, if you're looking for mobility, rapier offers a good pairing (even if you don't pvp) but my preference is for blunderbuss and hookshot.

[@Trizz0r]

I wish VG was not so much a must in PVE as a main healer. I recently started over and I am leveling War Hammer and Life Staff, having a blast.

[@gingerlovesmmos]

Same!

[@Trizz0r]

@@gingerlovesmmos Also great guide and being in your stream yesterday morning was a blast! Name was Kayvault, dropped a 6 month sub and joined Discord!

[@Puni9000]

War Hammer can easily work (people used it when mutations were first released) just Void Gauntlet does too much to not use it. Armor Breaker + Sundering Shockwave can easily hit the Rend cap on an enemy, and WH overall can easily peel for you. It's absolutely not bad. Problem is Oblivion (on VG) is just way too strong of an ability. Most people remember to Rend enemies, but a group-wide Empower is invaluable. Lastly, Melee DPS like hatchets are insanely strong, so having your healer use VG instead of a DPS allows your allies to do even more damage.

[@gingerlovesmmos]

Wow, thanks so much Ben, that is so very kind of you :)

[@Cheshire8484]

Currently trying to set up your controller config for steam and having some issues. One of the videos you changed the key bindings in game for the controller to work. What video should I follow for the brimstone update controller configuration? Thanks!

[@gingerlovesmmos]

I should have an updated guide live for you here this week that walks you through it all

[@korrectmethod]

I don't think there's a "find the fun" when it comes to healing. People expect you to do a job perfectly, and the only way to lvl life staff is by intentionally switching weapons a lot while farming mobs. I really want to be a healer but there's no way to practice group healing before entering a crazy serious group dungeon run where you're expected to perfectly know what to do. As a new player it's way to intimidating.

[@gingerlovesmmos]

Come team up with me on our server and you can ease into it. We’re on Orefena and discord link is in the desc

[@korrectmethod]

@@gingerlovesmmos i appreciate it but i dont want to restart my character or pay $15 to transfer. i can try to find a noob friendly guild on my server.

[@Zoeila]

i tried to level a healer but the life staff was boring as hell and took to long to kill open world mobs and targeting with a controller sucked

[@gingerlovesmmos]

Yeah that’s why I would not level the life staff, but with the new targeting options my next controller config addresses targeting in a major way

[@about15orphans]

Ey I recognize Jakrispie there see him a lot in opr

[@inferidii]

can you heal on the controller now ?

[@samdacombe]

Reinforced shadewalker handicap of the sage?

[@mrvanadin9525]

Restarted the game 2 days ago… started with my old beloved bow/hatchet build… playing mostly solo or in a duo with a friend (snb/hammer - tank) thinking about switching to healer… maybe using hatchet (ember gem) and lifestaff on a focus build… I definitly need to be able to solo quests etc while my buddy is not on 😅 is that viable now? I remember the ember gem being bugged long ago

[@Kaedrus]

It's still bugged, use a cut flawed amber and you will get more damage than the pristine.

[@ZeeroDubs]

Tank vid next please :)

[@gingerlovesmmos]

Sounds excellent

[@fuugawa741]

Where did you get all of your equipment? Buying is so so expensive. legendary void can cost 40k.

[@gingerlovesmmos]

You can get drops from gypsum, or farm specific weapons

[@oskarsozolins1586]

returning player but totally missed this - but I had no idea that you can upgrade named gear which is under GS600 with umbral shards and it becomes legendary and adds third perk. Was farming lazarus all the time to get will of the ancients LF until decided to go with purple and upgrade it to 625, my surprise lol it became legendary. :/

[@louismedina1976]

Splash of light is a waste of a skill, until they fix it I will never use it!

[@aaronmarchiny5370]

Having leveled a healer... don't. Please don't do that to yourself. It's slow going. It gets real boring.

[@gingerlovesmmos]

Yeah, wait to do that once you have leveled or play with friends all the time

[@faaustad]

StaMiNa xD - Great guide otherwise. :)

[@gingerlovesmmos]

Thanks and for some reason there are just some words I really can’t say :S

[@MizurriRyuu]

Thats stupid, people ask for how to level and you say dont?
