Thank you for all the work here, its A LOT and i apreciated. I hope you can manage to do the heavy and medium!

[@medd2959]

thank you for your work. Can't wait to see the heavy video

[@rabellooss]

Thanks for the amazing video!

[@jkm242]

You are the only authority as far as I'm concerned about all things related to New World. Great video and thank you for your hard work.

[@danielebartolini6016]

Huge Work. Ty so much! Deserved my littel Sub for sure.

[@fleischtomate2435]

great work!

[@crowleyV8]

Once again the best NW content. Thanks Duke keep the good work!

[@armedbobery4879]

Very well done

[@gpavan68]

Great video and I look forward to the Heavy Gear version.

[@Moridinn]

Over a month waiting for the heavy/medium conclusions. PLEASE spill the beans already we're dying here!

[@captura1132]

Best explanation of this type of content xD

[@bellgrand]

Very nice. I came to exact same armor bias and gem mixes (maybe with 1-2 Emeralds or 1-2 Rubies depending on context).

[@andrewfrey289]

Dope!!

[@johnweig4667]

Can't wait for heavy and medium

[@patchouliflower5816]

Heck ya!!!❤

[@uhtred7108]

When they changed Medium/Heavy armor to have a little bit more armor. Did that change the optimal loadout for medium? Like is Heavy Chest/Legs, Light boots/gloves, Medium helm better than Heavy Helm/Chest, Medium Gloves/Boots, Light Pants?

[@dokanyon]

I agree with 22:38 that these are the only perks you should go for in an amulet. They need to rework the perks to add more depth in the game.

[@iimcastro]

You did Phys weighted and balanced what about ELE weighted sets what do you run then for gems?

[@Eidorian510]

the goat

[@Ramrok]

Can u do a video about the value of freedom? seems overhyped considering how many instances and abilities are unaffected by freedom such as staggers, etc. A freedom vid with the value of freedom at different weight classes and against different types of attacks would be nice.

[@DukeSloth]

I like that idea. I can't promise it anytime because I have so many videos lined up, but I'll put on the list!

[@amadukane597]

Personally usin 3 slots of freedom just to avoid wh combis and sns stun+ heavy attack

[@user-xt1lz7sq9f]

How do you feel about hearty as a dex user? I find it less useful and would rather take an additional damage perk.

[@devonrandall3149]

Hearty combined with shirking energy allows you do dodge 3 times in light and have 4 remaining stamina. It definitely helps get away in arena's for sure

[@spiritwyrmk8622]

Any idea when we're getting that rapier video??

[@DukeSloth]

I think I should be able to commit deeper to it next week, hopefully!

[@DodgecitySMASH]

awesome

[@JO911B]

Just watching the video want to confirm this build isn’t for healers right or is it?

[@JamesplontNL]

When will heavy be out?

[@DukeSloth]

It'll be the next one because I still want to double check some stuff for Medium. Should be coming at some point this week or early next week!

[@uhtred7108]

Healthy toast and Regen are both good imo. Divine is also decent when you are using healthy toast + other abilities that heal you to increase their effectiveness. I've been playing without hearty but 150dex and I wouldn't say its a mandatory perk, i guess its nice to have though.

[@swingtity9798]

I'm trying to learn how to properly gear up. This is the first game ever, where it's pissing me of. I can't even follow what you're saying. This may be a very good guide, idk. I can only tell you, for new players, it's worthless. I there anything where I can get some base knowledge to understand this? Because the "guides" I found are all over the place

[@kynamd]

Google for builds online to figure out how to properly gear up. Then if you want to understand the why behind it, you can investigate further. Dukesloths videos go in depth behind all the mechanics. But that's the quick and dirty way. Search for builds by mikars, plojow, tricktrick, whelps to name a few.

[@kurtdha]

Disagree on earring. Nimble is really bad, and there's lots of videos out on it. Maybe you should make your own on nimble? Regenerating is slept on, and I think is the best option, even over refreshing.

[@invicto5000]

mmm.. dont like this video.. you dont considerated Fire Conditioning in perks defensives with pvp..

[@DukeSloth]

That's because Conditioning is an extremely conditional and limited perk. Flame Conditioning is worse than Elemental Aversion in EVERY scenario because it only applies AFTER you have already been hit by damage only ONLY for Fire damage, while having almost the same value (4.0 vs 3.9). Running Resil+Aversion+Conditioning is possible, but I don't consider it to every be worth it, honestly. You'd have to give up Freedom/Weapon Perks for it, which are usually worth a lot more. Even Refreshing is probably better in many situations. Conditioning is mainly useful in PvE where it can be used to craft items that have Ward while Elemental Aversion can't.

[@abechad79]

Who gives a hoot about crap for pvp

[@Mortalslayer132]

Almost everyone that plays new world lol

[@FoxayV7]

we play chess u play checkers

[@bellgrand]

​@@FoxayV7 Before the Fortify nerf, it was more like tic-tac-toe.

[@Macphotographs]

​@@Mortalslayer132 you can find a video on this channel that looks at the numbers and says your statement is false.

[@Mortalslayer132]

@@Macphotographs the numbers i imagine would be relatively skewed as pvpers HAVE to pve in order to get gear whereas pver's dont have to touch pvp
