You NEED NEW Gear! NERFS To FORTIFY, GS, GA, WH, Hatchet, Musket... New World PTR Update February 23
The New World PTR Update for February 2023 has been released and comes with massive balance changes to almost all weapons. Fortify and Rend are getting massive nerfs, which especially affects Shirking Fortification on light armor. There is a Great Axe nerf that mainly nerfs the effectiveness of Gravity Well. The War Hammer nerfs focus on damage output. Greatsword nerfs of various kinds are included that reduce both the PvP and PvE effectiveness. The Hatchet nerfs especially target Defy Death, but also Berserk. Last but not least, the Musket nerfs massively reduce long-range effectiveness in various ways and decrease accuracy. A massive Void Gauntlet buff makes this mage weapon one of the winners of the patch. The Fire Staff rework is more than just a simple buff and improves the weapon across the board.
