THE BIS JEWELRY PERKS | invigorated punishment sucks?!

I review how damage is calculated and discuss what I think bis jewrey perks are in this video. I also go over some free bis options, but the pieces are generally detrimental due to magnify (with its current implementation).

[@mecr0w]

FYI endless thirst only increases the cd of health pots, so it’s a lot better than I originally thought

[@o_groupie]

FYI, new Starstone Ring can roll in any attribute. That's what the "extra" perk bucket you see on NWDB is referencing.

[@WilderQ]

the fact that the devs that made magnify didnt even think how it limits your ability to use the stats you want is wild to me. The moment they showed magnify in the dev video i instantly noticed that it completely fucks certain build up, like many others noticed as well. Just crazy not a single dev working on it noticed. Its literally their job to work with systems like these.

[@naomi-nada]

They absolutely noticed. The issue is that they probably believe the outcomes they intended for by implementing it are worth the downsides.

[@Mangarin.]

For the artifact earring, I think the health pot cooldown is 20% longer not all pots like cleanse

[@Savvvo]

Heavy bruiser rocking abyss - few questions. Which bucket does the elemental punishing gems in armor fall in? (Ex: +2% void damage) You shared a ring that gives slash damage, but aren’t most bruisers rocking abyss these days (with a few exceptions of course), making them want to go void instead?

[@Yamada989]

purifying heart is pretty strong when you can use my heartrune in stunmode linke stoneform - do u know if its possible to use f.e. detonate (with puri. heart) when u are stunned ? that would make stoneform little bit obsolate - or no ?

[@MrLaMoutte]

great question

[@marcnebot5669]

Hey! nice info as always. How do you proc healing breeze when u get healed with unitargets for exemple?

[@mecr0w]

Shirking heals will proc it but I’m a little confused if it’s outgoing or incoming healing that procs it tbh

[@bonbarmandrink]

@@mecr0w Maybe its all incoming healing, shirking heals count as incoming healing. So health pots and such things should count, and maybe lifestealing also

[@shawnmurphy6670]

When reducing base damage like from blooddrinker, can you add more empower before cap or nah? To counter blooddrinker which perks should I hunt for?

[@mecr0w]

Empower is a different bucket. To counter blooddrinker more base damage is ideal.

[@shusakudake]

did i understand it right that the base dame cap is 2 so 100% more base dmg than before rigth?

[@isth3reno1else]

I tested healing breeze with shirking heals and it wasn't working for me. Not sure if I missed an update or not but just fyi.

[@mecr0w]

It doesn’t work w healing breeze bc outgoing heals but I have a vid coming tomorrow going over all the interactions. I just gotta edit it a little bit.

[@therealzeem]

do you know if purifying procs the same way as healing breeze? if so, would that not be quite good?

[@mecr0w]

it reads as if it procs on outgoing effects on allies. The question will be can you be an ally of yourself (if that makes sense). I assume you cannot so it'll really only be good on healers with clap healing I think?

[@bonbarmandrink]

So if i understand correctly what you said, the more base damage your weapon has, the less damage you loose out of the Blooddrinker? So, because GA and WH has the highest base damage, these weapons will loose less damage?

[@mecr0w]

yes

[@Vongimi]

What exactly is "base damage" and what makes most classes capped on it? Whats the cap?

[@Nyce-Gaming]

Oh man they nerfed refreshing toast , I didn’t even notice that . Good video

[@OctavianGaius]

What do mean Stamina Recovery does not proc below 50% HP?

[@sirharmony8626]

2 Questions: 1) Why is void prot BiS for PvP? Id expected thrust/fire 2) If the base dmg caps often of fire staff i.e. couldnt the fire dmg ring perk end up being useless? What about Burning as alternative?

[@janzdobinsky7744]

Iam not getting the void prot too? What are we missing? Why is void prot BiS?

[@duhstin]

So for IG/VG, crafting an Ice DMG/Pun Invig/Hearty Ring would be suboptimal?

[@mecr0w]

Yea you don’t really care about dmg a ton on ig vg, instead something like on heartrune all your debuffs get cleansed is better imo

[@duhstin]

Do you think this is an oversight and pun invig would be reworked then? The charm only drops from pvp tracks and is supposed to be a chase perk. Seems so weird that’s it’s now just completely useless. I’m thinking crippling then on the third perk. Awesome videos, please make one on how specifically the 3 buckets dmg system works!

[@nickhohl3468]

empowering toast procs off of regen pots, so if you're pre-potting it's great, it was also procing off of eating hearty meals on the PTR and those have no CD so you can theoretically have 100% uptime with empowering toast. endless thirst also only effects health pot CDs so it's a great earring for Damage classes that have a healer. the hearty meal being on the hot bar would have to kick health, regen, cleanse, or gemstone/firepots off, so probably not a good strat in war, but always being able to enter a fight with 10% empower isn't too bad.

[@alv798]

how about damage perks + keen awareness? on ring, they supposed to be on different bucket on season 3, prolly they gonna change it soon

[@mecr0w]

I think that’s solid for classes that benefits from crits like fire staff

[@psyanalol]

very good video

[@amadukane597]

Can u explain how what is base dmg and why lifedrinker takes out only 12% from bb?

[@mecr0w]

Math w finishing returns from 1 bucket

[@bonbarmandrink]

Leeching and lifestealing heal you on live with AOE damage. Do they changed it?

[@mecr0w]

It’s capped at 3 targets max for aoes but has a bigger value (5->7.1)

[@bonbarmandrink]

@@mecr0w Yeah aight so its still aoe, like i read in their patch note. Its just limited at 3 person max. Tbh, i take this as a buff. If you add up lifestealing on weapon, you can get up to 42% lifestealing, and there is this new perk on the ring artifact which give even more lifesteal. I cant wait to abuse this as a bruiser 😎

[@CascadenTV]

Come next patch, can you build heart rune charge off DOT's?

[@mecr0w]

I don't see a change in the backend so would assume yes

[@Thundersgaming]

Did your voice slowly change in the intro?

[@mecr0w]

Not intentionally

[@Thomas_Ro]

Where does honing stone fit ? Is this modifying base damage ?

[@mecr0w]

good question, it's empower

[@valiant719]

Thx

[@Migra94]

Mortal empower is not changed right? Still BiS for kill squads if not, right?

[@mecr0w]

It’s changed from its launch and generally isn’t used. I believe it fades after 2 minutes now iirc.

[@Migra94]

Yes, but, if you keep killing it refreshes. I use it in wars. In the current state, it refeshes all stacks on kill. I just dont know if the damage its actually 2% @@mecr0w

[@PizzurpiLy]

I wonder if magnify was their take on "this can be whatever perk you want" . If that's the case they should simply add a mechanic where you get the item, take it to Gyspum Kiln, and put the corresponding craft mod with your desired attribute on it. Seems a bit less restricting but still accomplishes what I think their intention was with this.

[@mecr0w]

Something like that is done in GW2 iirc and makes more sense to me

[@wombatrugby]

Champions Ammy is BIS. Stam recovery, health, add protection of your choice.

[@Esoterik_NW]

Been driving me crazy not seeing major content creators bringing attention to magnify. Been spamming this in the new world discord: I’d like to bring to attention the problem with magnify in its current state. Magnify with how it functions artificially creates a cap between the attributes you are specing into. This gap gets wider and wider the more magnify gear you have equipped. It prevents one from spending into the attribute split they ideally want. This becomes a major and game breaking issue. For example with the increased incentive of farming named drops that will be BIS once you change 3rd perk and majority of these having magnify, it is likely a player will have 5-8 pieces of gear with magnify on it. All farmable BIS / near BIS. This much magnify breaks the game and will remove the incentive of farming any good named items and using the new upgrading system with the kilm. This issue can be solved in two ways: 1) Magnify has a drop down on the gear where u select which attribute you want it to use have 2) Magnify simply gives you more attribute points to spec into.

[@mecr0w]

I mean I don't think it's too hard to figure out. AGS is sponsoring content and people are incentivized to not "trash the patch" so to speak. I am not sponsored nor affiliated in any way but avoid speaking about it because from what I've heard they are aware of the issue and are fixing it and instead would rather focus on the benefits and try to grow the community than push for changes right now. If that exists after launch there will be videos made but I think prelaunch people are just trying to hype it up and draw interest back into New World since that will only benefit the game moving forward, even if that design decision was not the best. TL;DR it's an issue but from a content creator perspective hype is better pre launch and negative news is usually better post launch

[@Irvspanish]

Some amazing chicken scratch there

[@mecr0w]

It slows me down Ive been told I talk too fast

[@JurivanDam]

the bigger quistion how much freedom do we need next patch because increase freedom u get at 700 gs

[@mecr0w]

I've always argued 0 so I'm not the person to ask that question. If you run the artifact named freedom I imagine basically 0 additional freedom due to passive freedom bonus' baked into med/heavy.

[@alv798]

are you recommending void protection because of the abbys?

[@mecr0w]

Yes and the vg artifact that muskets used

[@wenzdelul]

for solving magnify problem. dev should make a stat toggle and add in item set inventory like colour schemes of magic the gathering card game

[@mecr0w]

That would be logical to me

[@BasedChadman]

They buffed refreshing?? Okay, I'm happy now. Cooldowns were my main issue with the combat.

[@BlackJack-jf3ev]

im just going to wait at least one month before craft my own gear i feel it would be some perks getting nerf later i bet health perk would be first to get nerf and others perks too since some perks for weapon looks OP and artifact also would get nerf so yea i will wait until that happens

[@shloms6862]

Not sure healing breeze works with Shirking heals/leeching perks.

[@mecr0w]

It did on ptr for shirking heals

[@tanniaz33]

In Light melee Spear/GS using Hearty,Leeching, Keen Awareness. In light Firestaff/Rapier using Leeching,Fire Damage,Mortal Empowerment.

[@mecr0w]

mortal empowerment is prob the best option if you just want dmg but imo isn't very good unless it's a high frag meta due to it wearing off after 2 minutes

[@SeafightMaurice]

The Thirst only increases the CD of health potions not cleanse or oak/any absorp potions, so still pretty neat for wars.

[@bellgrand]

Wait? Base damage has a cap after all??

[@mecr0w]

yea we didn't realize till this patch because the numbers were getting so big but weren't getting bigger... lmao

[@ab3240]

Mecrow the absolute goat

[@mecr0w]

the title was not the video was slightly better 😅

[@TheCrushmaster]

So I'm an idiot and forget refreshing toast was 29% reduction at 625 (thought it was 20%)...Are they insane? lul The pot nerfs just encourage ratty, bursty builds. Don't know anyone who thought pots needed to be weaker.

[@mecr0w]

I'd argue it encourages clumps. Ratty builds may not be able to exist without a healer and healers are usually more isolated in "ratty" combat.

[@AI-BANANA]

this is great dont get me wrong but something like a script and talking slower would help cause youre making it sound like you dont know what youre talking about by talking fast

[@mecr0w]

Yea that’s why I’ve been trying to use the pen tool I have in my more recent videos more because it slows me down. I’ve never done scripts at uni always doing ideas and talk to ideas because scripts don’t sound natural to me, but I probably should give myself more of a direction in terms of planning.
