LIFE STAFF + FLAIL is the ONLY Class You Need to Dominate New World Aeternum! (Best New World Build)

[@ukaszanioowski9722]

150 str 350 foc 52 con (+48 con food seems cheapest of +48's) (100 total) living mind 725 life staff with refreshing move (750 doubloons for 700, 1250+coconut+dark matter + some crap, way less expensive than any other bis, you just gotta do some ck chest runs and open one large chest on ffa pvp) powerstone artifact diamond on life staff retaliate gem on powerstone (when you have access to rune glass, get the electric debuff one with retaliate, if i recall it screws with stamina a bunch, worth more than flat +2%) divine embrace, sacred ground and beacon work great for me divine embrace skill perk on lifestaff holy ground and keen beacon on some armor piece round shield, light helmet, featherweight artifact, the rest is medium armor, resulting in 12.9 weight flail skills are your choosing, more for combat as healing is from life staff stone skin runestone when you REALLY need to cast those heals without interruptions you now have a pvp/pve do-all build, honestly i haven't found the need for gear changes between the two for your perks on gear you want to get the basics: +Health and +Enchanted Ward, 4/4 refreshing, the basics on your jewerly Divine, +health and Sacred are a must Hearty is a good bonus for 2 consecutive rolls with no exhaustion uh oh yea, the weaknesses Glass Cannon Builds - the 50 con DPS which can 15k to 0 your hp before you cast your first heal Full Stun Builds / Groups - cannot exactly heal when on the ground / stunned - stone skin runestone helps to burn their stuns Anti-Heal builds - flail has some debuff clensing, you can get a perk for your runestone to cleanse debuffs, otherwise as every healer you are kinda screwed Another Healer - you cannot out-dps average healing, it will take forever, just talk it out or play defensively until they get bored (you could try getting some disease on gear just for this occasion, even then good luck) otherwise you are one tough cookie big tip - try to use divine embrace on targets below 50% hp, will reduce your cooldown to ~0. that is most likely not THE best healer setup, but that is what works for me, and is not extremely expensive or annoying to get.

Building this now, which crafting mod did you put on the power stone flail?

[@brendon1191]

Really wish you actually showed the full 20 lvls of life staff talents

[@themrnails]

Thanks for the coverage. Do you have a step by step guide for this? Thank you.

Would you do a video to show how this build performs in higher level content like raids and such? Im new and im picking up life staff after making hammer and gs

[@connorwild4240]

I am new to New world and this build is great so far (I don't have everything perfect) always loved paladin builds!!!!! Cant wait to see the builds get better!

[@jamesdesousa1184]

Great video dude. Can you make a detailed video on the gear and where to find it?

[@robertrogers8054]

I actually don’t mine healing it’s rewarding and you’re actually useful instead of just hitting stuff lol

[@vettstang]

Tough choice with lifestaff healer main. I hear a lot say just do the generic Void gauntlet for healer. but I like the idea of flail too. What to do ? decisions decisions 🤔 !?

[@nightknight7748]

If your doing a healer you quite literally can choose whatever you want even if it doesn't scale with focus and people will still want you to join their group since healers are just that important and no one plays them. Void gauntlet is just the safest option due to its range root and more importantly the ability to get mana at the cost of health (which isn't a problem for you as a healer)

[@joshuasmith1597]

Any healer worth their salt runs rapier with LS. You will always get focused and you need to be able to escape

[@dannynicholson50]

​@joshuasmith1597 who needs to escape when you out healed damage? Or spec into threat reduction, or actually find a good tank

Really enjoying playing flail, having life staff is good to keep the HP up

[@JustinTheGamer]

Great build. Would you mind updating and letting us know which other life staff things you pick for level 20?

[@Verlisify]

Its situational depending on playstyle and role

[@oliver5911]

Do you have any guides for maxed out Life Staff? It's tough to visualize what the skills will be once you're finished leveling the staff. I tried to keep up with everything you're saying, but it would be even better to see the circles actually lit up for the skills and builds you're referring to.

[@ukaszanioowski9722]

read. it. take anything that increases your healing output conditionally take the armor when hitting things, and the healing output when under buff effect take the +healing output for every heavy strike up to 3 times take the roll buff uh divine embrace with its skill perk on a weapon is extremely good single-target healing, as in 600 - 15k hp within 4 seconds, with a single drawback of having a cast time of 1s.

[@Altarknight]

well as Paladin fun must agree whit you :D but i play heavy tanky heal :D

[@Hotwatty]

Are you wearing a mixture of heavy and light armor

[@RIVERCITYShow]

Which starting class should I choose for this build? Mystic?

[@Verlisify]

I have an archetype guide. The weapon choice doesn't really matter

[@nokomoko8832]

Flail is decent if you're a tank/healer hybrid for normal or m1 dungeons, m2s and 3s are too hard for hybrid builds, or if a dps is already using a void gauntlet in the goron raid.

[@darkost88]

I realy love the build its make the main quest easy but i wonder is it tank healer or dps build

[@Verlisify]

its all 3

[@cheat29]

Hi, if i do that build in early game, what stats should i prioritize? strenght or focus right away? or both at the same time? thx

[@Verlisify]

comes down to what you need to survive your current content. Damage or Sustain

[@cheat29]

@@Verlisify Not gonna lie, i enjoyed this build a lot lvling up, but now im stuck at the "MotherWell" Soul trial and i can't beat it cuz i dont deal enough damage.. like at all

@@cheat29 Swap to taunts and carnelian to pull enemies off

[@cadencodling5844]

@@cheat29 I had the same issue at Motherwell. Just Respec all your points into Strength and use lifestaff and potions to heal. You only have to kill one Guardian for it to end faster without waiting for the timer.

is this build viable for solo healing in pve group content?

Shield needs to be active to count

[@Matshiro]

It was also really good when flail was released, it's the only way that I play as a healer

[@Colonel_Klink]

There is like 120 stat difference between your totals and mine, and we're basically the same gear score. I can't figure it out. 48 possibly from food, but what else could cause that huge of a discrepency?

[@Verlisify]

pants

@@Verlisify Yeah, guess that's extra 10 to all stats, isn't it? Was driving me nuts figuring that out.

[@vettstang]

I’m confused with all the healing perks like blessed / sacred / savior ? Do these come on all gear slots like armor and jewelry and weapons or is it very specific ? Expanple blessed only found in armor not weapon? Also Divine? What’s outgoing healing difference from incoming healing?

[@Verlisify]

A perk shown on something is most likely exclusive to that. Ability perks are stronger on weapons but also found on armor. Jewelery all have exclusive perks on each type

[@maskedfjolnir6067]

So now you're able to get the weapon exp even when you use that "said" weapon as a secondary. I've been just soloing with a Heavy Paladin setup because I rather be a tank and a healer at the same time 😂 😂. Been soloing a few Brimstone, Elysian and CK Elites/Bosses and kept getting exp for the kills along with the regular mobs.

[@a7xnightmare732]

How does this build fair when it comes to healing other players?

Max focus makes it no different on ally heals

No matter the build theres no solo build thats gonna cut some of those awful sponge ememies later game 5+ areas... im ok the enemies hittin hard but jesus to make them so tanky is super boring

[@gasoline9456]

Try voidblade, it has more damage, rend and gives you insane amounts of mana with 200 int, that's the meta pve healer build. Voidblade healer is also fun in arena but for open world, opr and war you wanna play in light with a rapier offhand for mobility and riposte. Flail has its uses in PVP but those are as a support mainhand in Heavy, not as a healer offhand.

[@jamesSmith-fl5wv]

Bro I was in a war and our leaders are like musket and bow don't belong in war...we were defending and the second we got to points the other team is full of musket and bow and we get wrecked. I'd say if you can make anything work for you it belongs in war

[@gasoline9456]

@@jamesSmith-fl5wv You can make anything ork if the opponents are worse anyway, in balanced fights you want every edge you can get. Bow/Musket is max 2 in a roster and they have to be really good to make it worth over an extra firestaff or heavy dex

[@MistaSpencer]

What would you go with your lifestaff/rapier builds stat wise? And 200 int how much focus how much con? I’m interested

[@gasoline9456]

@@MistaSpencer For PVE it's 100 con for beginners then shift more points into int. 250-300 focus is more than enough. In PVP you can try a lot, an even split between all 3 stats(2xx/2xx/2xx) is easiest with any amount of Magnify but you can also try mainhanding voidblade with just 150 focus or going down to 50 or even 0 int with refreshing divine embrace for more con, voidblade damage will still be decent.

[@phraksis]

Do you mean you wouldn't recommend playing lifestaff/rapier in arena but rather voidblade/lifestaff? What do you think is the best lifestaff build for arena?

[@artemhaight9791]

Medium gear for life staff is wild

[@darcycrews]

I would say most builds I’ve seen lately use featherweight plus a mix of light and medium or heavy, as long as your 12.9 or lower gear weight you’re still light rolling

[@SkufAbuzevich]

in this spec u not mobility )

[@pkman98]

this build looks good for PvE situations with lots of pulls and either way a healer doesn't need alot of mobility now that tanks actually take the agro over healers.
