A few builds for New World
00:20 thoughts on New World, 2:14 builds I won’t do, 2:53 “Crusader build”, 5:10 Life Staff, 6:05 stat spread, 7:32 “Ice Pick build”, 8:34 skills, 10:59 Ice Gauntlet, 13:30 stat spread, 15:25 “Chimaera build”, 16:26 Ice Gauntlet, 16:40 stat spread, 17:19 “Huntress/Hunter build”, 19:53 stat spread, 20:34 if you do Hammer/Axe
I am unsure if this will be a great game or not. I played in the open beta and I definately noticed optimization as well as balance issues. It does seem fun though. Regardless I decided to use my theory crafting experience to formulate a few builds to help my friends and others with the game
TLDR:
"Crusader Build"
Weapon 1: Sword and Shield - Reverse Stab, Leaping Strike and Shield Bash
Weapon 2: Life Staff - Sacred Ground, Orb or Protection and Beacon
Armor Weight: Light or Medium
Desired Armor/Weapon Stats: Strength, Constitution or Dexterity. Strength and Dexterity is your damage
Stats: 50 Strength, Focus and Constitution. The last 55 points is being left to a decision. If 55 Strength only results in say 5% damage then it would be far more worth it to invest in to Constitution for that health scale on armor. 50 in to Dexterity and 5 in to Constitution is another possibility. Dexterity is a secondary for the sword and it has a 5% crit chance node at 50
Role in groups: Damage support
Role in PvP: Duelist/Sustained Damage
If you want to do more of a Tank build, I would recommend following this guide to a certain degree: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZo85NRspTk Also that video has a great explanation on skills that stick with weapon swaps

"Ice Pick Build"
Weapon 1: Rapier - Tondo, Flurry, Flourish and Finish
Weapon 2: Ice Gauntlet - Wind Chill, Ice Storm and Entombed. Can use Ice Pylon in place of Wind Chill
Armor Weight: Light or Medium
Desired Armor/Weapon Stats: Dexterity, Intelligence, or Constitution. Dexterity and Intelligence is Rapier damage while Intelligence is Ice Gauntlet damage
Stats: 50 Dexterity, Intelligence and Constitution. Same scenario as above. If 55 Dexterity only results in 5% damage, I would go for 50 Focus and 5 Dexterity (to get mana regen). Constitution is a viable alternative
Role in PvP and Groups: Damage

"Chimaera Build"
Weapon 1: Fire Staff - Fire Ball, Flame Thrower, and Pillar of Fire
Weapon 2: Ice Gauntlet - Ice Storm, Ice Pylon and Entombed
Armor Weight: Light or Medium
Desired Armor/Weapon Stats: Intelligence and Focus. Intelligence is damage. Focus is mana regeneration and cooldown
Stats: 105 Intelligence, 50 Focus and Constitution
Role in PvP and Groups: Bait/Damage
Let the constant AOE and DOTS do damage while in Entombed if attacked. If you are not attacked, then use all of your range abilities. Any abilities that knock back is not good for this build as you want you and your enemy to be in the AOE. Switch to whatever element is not being resisted.

"Hunter/Huntress Build"
Weapon 1: Spear - Javelin, Sweep, and Perforate. Can go Cyclone for groups though with proper positioning and awareness you shouldn't need it
Weapon 2: Bow - Penetrating Shot, Rapid Shot, and Rain of Arrows
Armor Weight: Light or Medium
Desired Armor/Weapon Stats: Dexterity and Strength (damage)
Stats: 105 Dexterity, 50 Constitution and Strength
