Build Update & Cyclone Gameplay - Spear/SnS - New World PvP Season 3

[@Whelps]

Stats is 150 STR 300 DEX 150 CON (needs to be 4 magnify or less)

[@alexmagelan9567]

hi bro why don't you play with amulet - Lost Stopwatch ? and where can I get such a sword? or just buy?

[@clementbernicard]

I got 4 magnify exactly and i can't put 300 DEX 150 CON 150 STR... what am i missing :( ?

[@EczilaSF]

@@clementbernicard you need to use attribute food, so leave either con or str at at least 102 and then use attribute food to get the rest

[@balkveavsevdas7166]

how do u do this stats i never get 150 str 300 dex and 150 con even i eat food what i am missing

[@Whelps]

@@balkveavsevdas7166 you have more than 4 magnifies

[@seabhacgra517]

I have to compliment you. I don't play your build or spec, I heal most of the time, but I still love watching your content and subscribed because you are entertaining and informative. Thanks for taking the time to create all these videos, with all the crazy things happening in the world it's nice to be able to smile and laugh.. even if I've been monkey stomped a few times in OPR's now LOL!!

[@lombardi1312]

Muchas gracias! Ayudas bastante a los que estamos recien partiendo! 🫰🏼

[@Acanis87]

Was looking for a build for SnS+Sting! Very nice, Ill try it for sure! Thank you :)

[@varmvarm1110]

Thank you for trying for us, we appreciate it.

[@romangolob2279]

Hey man nice build i was wondering why tou play with featherweight instead of tumbler boots. Do you value the armor mitigation over the empower/fortify and xtra shriking heals? Eveb with their nerf they seem OP.

[@36Boy]

Thank you very much for keepin us in tune and for the content, big fan 🤙 (btw i apreciate that when you roll your gameplay clips, you put some chill low volume music plus the ingame sound instead of putting some loud dubstep stuff without gamesound, keep it that way buddy ) ❤

[@danielZ90X]

I am so heartbroken because I LOVE this build and constantly switching back and forth between this and Abyss/Fire Staff. Those are my favorite two this season by far.

[@fweakydiceman3966]

Where are you getting all the dark matter for these crafts?!

[@canitfitz6061]

I don’t understand how you get those attribute splits of 300 Dex 150 str and 150con. I’m 695 GS with my build, I have 3 magnifies and the best I can get to is 250 Dex 150 str 150 con with attribute food. What am I missing??

[@TanjonaRafidison]

with slash(light sword)/thrust(spear/heavy sword)/strike dmg (shield/cyclone) isnt better to get something like invigorated punishement?

[@Whelps]

invig is very minimal dmg increase if not at all

[@grove2237]

@whelps I know this is an old build but I made it and have been giving it a crack on Delos... I cant get cyclone to do anywhere near the damage that's shown in your clips - It could be more people running thrust proc but its just tickling them. After plying this build I think it shows your skill with the SNS spear because its not as easy as I thought haha

[@angrykagg421]

CRAFTED!? I cry haha. The only profession I've kept up with is cooking haha. I might have to work on it because I need shirking heals something fierce.

[@MrProbstandrew]

sns/spear has really become the go to for all the skilled lite melee playas.. with whelps at the front as general lol. in medium in certain situations is great as well

[@vincentb6215]

Hi, thank you for this video ! It helps a lot. What do you think about the Ankh nerf with season 4 ? Maybe we have to change gem ? Because Ankh still good for shriking heals. And the soulpollen ring mabe doesn't match anymore with Ankh ?

[@Der_Wolvenfang]

Bro excellent selection for background music for the gameplay itself. It was vibing and more importantly it was not intense af like other youtubers... It ain't 2000 anymore shesh.

[@molyporph1045]

How do you light attack cancel into cyclone? is it some special technique I got to learn ?:)

[@Whelps]

just press cyclone as soon as you land light attack

[@Acanis87]

Can you update the build preparing for S4? What would you change with the incoming Ankh change? ^^

[@Tiimbo_AO]

Are perks etc all the same if you use a medium build?

[@Whelps]

ideal stat would be 100 str 300 dex 200 con and tumbler shoe for artifact

[@nerve4179]

Does the empower stay from leaping strike if you switch weapons?

[@combatnomad114]

Is this vibesy from pollux!?

[@Rayhead33]

im crafting a sword right now i have attunment and pen backstab you mentioned some perks for the last one which one would you def want on it?

[@Rayhead33]

and what kind of attunement im thinking arboreal

what chest piece and legs do you use with ur fire knight heavy helm? transmog names pls :D

hi bro why don't you play with amulet - Lost Stopwatch ?

[@leighovens4025]

Hi is it ok to use 2xheavy 1med 1light for the weight load out and is this more armor anyways

[@Breno_Lira]

Why did you remove the stopwatch? xD

[@thetripper2804]

Got a Attune, Pen BackStab, Leaping Strike on my Sword thinking of keeping it for now what other perk can i put on my armor? Freedom or Shirking Fort? thanks

[@Pf0scht4]

hi question is keen jagged not better than attune for the 3. debuff (jav rend/keen jagged/runglass dot)

[@Whelps]

Sword has jagged so you just wanna maximise spear dmg with attune

[@prine6]

How is your physical and elemental mitigation so high in a light setup?

[@1234mbell]

thats it im gonna try this build. 1 question why the 100 focus? for the leeching or cdr? was thinking about 200 for the extra armor/magic resist

[@Whelps]

the stats are 150 str 300 dex 150 con sorry I was on random spec

[@JonezBBQ]

Yup, this is the build that I cannot stand to play against. Perma stun/CC, and the person is usually an ape that has 5,000 hours+ that can perfectly time every dodge with shirking heals.

[@skald22]

thanks for your sharing of this.

[@PokemonGo-k8m]

Youre saying you crafted these items but for example i cant find the Helmet in the Gypsum Kiln :( how does that work then?

[@SirVerdown]

Does the 30% empower from Michael block stay on weapon swap?

[@Gin-mz5wo]

is there a medium armor variant you recommend?

[@paulboston5211]

Hey, I apologize for the crafting noob question, I'm newly 250 armoring. But how are you able to lock in two perks (shirking heals and a weapon skill)? I only see the option to add one crafting mod (ie: crafting the spinweave helm)? Thanks for your help! Awesome vid by the way!

[@Whelps]

You need golden scarab in bag to see the craft menu

[@thomaskrebs9783]

my mans, please give us your thoughts on the new plagued crits/disease changes. is it bis now?

[@Whelps]

no there are no changes to this build

Keen on shield does not stack with keen on sword. You can have different perks though

[@laneegeero6135]

hey whelps, can you go over your resistances and gems in armor? coming from a long time medium melee to light i feel like everything melts me thanks for your vids as always

[@planetg2125]

Whelpsy I recommend you craft jackalope antler from kiln and get keen speed on sword. For your build I think you'll notice the difference with keen speed locking down targets easier. With the sword passive you're at speed cap virtually every time you're aggressive with sword

[@thehappypumpkin5431]

He used to play with keen speed a fair bit in previous seasons so pretty sure he knows this too!

[@planetg2125]

@thehappypumpkin5431 makes a difference, since I'm cleaning up all the copy cats, the harder ones to fight stay on sword longer but because I play with speed easy reset for me or gap close once their sweep is burnt

[@Eladarmi]

What do you do when you need to pve? Do you have a separate build for that?

[@Whelps]

just change skills, whirling blade over shield bash drop javeline for skewer or perforate you can do m1 m2 easily m3 you can use the same gear if it has opal and change to amulet that has protection perk

[@Eladarmi]

Awesome, thanks

[@CelsoAoryu]

U can use pvp track named legendary set like a bugdet set

[@molyporph1045]

hey 1 more question, if you get pen backstab / attun/vicious sword, what should be main focus for shield? what's the highest prio?

[@Whelps]

Enchanted, jagged

[@ArchidamusNW]

GOOD WORK - Subscribed...

[@dopple420]

I know runeglass is expensive, but punishing runeglass case with leeching on my ring yielded more lifesteal plus more damage. Would you consider it for another build, this may be broken.

[@secondgen]

Do you think this build with a full light gearset and kite shield is viable? Still working on duplicating this setup, but having a fun time with it.

[@Whelps]

no you lose too much armor and kite shield doesnt bring anything useful

[@Abdou59800]

Hey, when changing perf for cyclone, you lose the weaken effect from the 3rd perf upgrade, isnt it too bad ? I mean sweeps gonna hit less no ? And the last upgrade from the spear tree, the +10% damage per weaken stack, how is it still usefull ?

[@thehappypumpkin5431]

Yeah idk I find it really strong still. Depends on your playstyle and what you like. I play perforate :)

[@Abdou59800]

@@thehappypumpkin5431 yes, so far i think the weaken from perforate is too good, -30% damages for target, +30% for us, very strong

Is the 35% lifesteal from cyclone perk scale on base weapon damage or does it consider your stats too ?

[@Whelps]

it's based on cyclone damage

[@Adalgg]

Hi Whelps! Nice one, keep it going, love your videos. A question - isnt a Sword with Rogue (about the same as Pen backstab, or better vs light users) , keenly empowered and attunement (probably better than Vicious) better? Probably with similar shield (jagged, ench/vicious + w/e)

[@Whelps]

Pen backstab is like double the dmg of rogue

[@Adalgg]

@@Whelps Ah I see. In an older video of FusionThunder he mentioned that Rogue is kinda the same, but might be outdated

[@jg8306]

@@Adalgg Rogue has been nerfed from 19 to 11%

[@Adalgg]

@@jg8306 You are right, but similarly so did the other offensive perks like vicious, enchanted, keen etc. I assumed they just go adjusted to some new formulas they've changed for damage, but in the end they pretty much do the same thing in game. I wanted to test this for season 3 for a while, but cant really craft stuff and most of the weapons with pen backstab (pvp track) are pretty much Bis and its imposibilble to buy the same with rogue.

the cool thing aboutr NW atm is, u can run and do so many builds and combos now.. there is no more one meta.. i sometimes find SH usefull but i often get more value outta defensive and damage perks instead. taking less damage, while killing ur enemy faster, is usually the way to go.. SH is better when u constant outnumbered, when u fighting a group that has healer , etc
