This is the biggest New World patch to date. There are so many changes incoming it’s crazy. In this video I’ll be focusing on the balance patch changes that are coming with this PTR patch.
The New World lifestaff nerfs are the biggest news. There are also mage nerfs, DPS buffs, warhammer buffs, and a healing debuff perk on armor for void gauntlet.
There’s a lot in this New World 1.06 balance patch notes to go through. They’re really changing the game pretty dramatically with this update. If you quit New World because of the PvP you might want to reconsider after this major November release.

why even play as a healer now?
making healers useless basically
GG game u killed me now
Ya'll do realize that you should be voicing your concerns on the forums, right? That's exactly what a PTR is for – for the feedback from us. Voice your damn feedback. This does NOT mean it will be in the game. Don't give them a reason to change it.
Mages get fucked
big lack of healers and now this must stupid decision to make the game balance
Welp.. there goes my Warhammer + Ice gaunt CC lock down tank build.. that 30s is gonna make me more of a str build now instead of int focus.. haah gonna Respec my stats once this goes live holup haha
The healing nerfs are going to be miserable for everyone. Running a hard instance? Defending against invasions? Well your healer heals for 20% less now, good luck!
3:33 BOW AOE REDUCED by 0.5m , is that a buff ? you said it was a buff but it pretty much nerf for me
This is really good, finally maybe you will be able 1v1 healer as dps. 🙂
I wonder when they will fix Refreshing Pillar of Fire. It pretty much fully resets Pillar of Fire so long as you are hitting 2 enemies. It also triggers twice due to the double damage ticking. If these changes aren't fixed, then I doubt my fire mage will suffer too much – in fact, It sounds like I"ll be hitting even harder.
Healers got nerfed to the ground.
What's with the stupid life staff nerfs? What a great way to reduce the healer population. I'm a tank and I need those heals. I'm not a healer and I'm mad
For the armor I tested it. 18 percent multiplitive bonus for light armor and it's 9 for medium. Close enough. It's been fixed for a few weeks. They are buffing the healing from light armor to make healers more squishy to get their normal healing back.
I was already gonna quit the game but these patches just confirm it. The heavy armor greataxe Metas won’t change at all. At least mages actually took skill to play but they’ve nerfed them too.
As a solo player that relies on self healing through LS, this nerf is fucked. If they’re gunna do this, they should make it to where food healing isn’t interrupted by taking damage. Otherwise the damage scaling for some of the late game stuff is impossible with only 1-2 players
So they are making healers disappear and everyone will now be sword and board with a void gauntlet for the self healing.
They should really think about separating pve and pvp. All of the heal staff nerfs are killing the pve aspect of the game. If they want end game pve and pvp they have to balance differently
Rip ls, I already was fighting over heals in wars because of the overlapping heal nerf
Maybe it’s hard to kill a healer currently but we have no damage??? Lol why does it matter if we can out heal the dps when we can’t dish it back out??
the main problem with the healing staff for me was always hybrid builds being almost as strong as a pure healer, which was terrible stupid, but this kind of nerf dont make sense cause u are hurting the healers in any type of content, specially the full support ones, idk why they just slap a self healing nerf with the healing staff and call it a day, cause the ones who are going to suffer there are the hybrid builds
Am I the only one that likes the nerf on healers?it's too broken right now I don't know what everyone is saying in the comments
Life staff is a needed nerf i dont care if people complain. People tanking 1v5 with heavy oife staff war hammer was stupid. Might need 2 heal staffs now for lazarus though, did a dungeon today and was staying alive at last laser but maybe now not enough heal. But they should make it so if you arnt equiped life staff heal reduced by 50% or some thing
How the hell is Berserker not included in those Changes/Nerfs? By far the most broken braindead Ability in this Game.
so now we helaers cant do dmage and also cant heal?
You sound just like the actor Jeffrey Donovan.
Got to love when game devs just revolve all game settings around pvp…… they do realize their are players who dont give a shit about the pvp aspect and they just ruined the game even more for those players. PVP games like this are just trash.
I just see wars with Warhammer /great axe / void gauntlet sucks that's gonna be new metta
If they nerf another time the heal i leave the game gg Better that they dedicate themselves to fixing other things that are more broken in the game than the heal
Wow guess time to respec my 300 focus healer to a great axe / war hammer
cunty valhalla melee mains complaining they want gaxe and hammer better and now they are to their pocket devs
I guess its time to change to archer.musket mage done for
Mate: 1.) They shadow fixed the armor like 1 or 2 weeks ago
2.) i use divine embrace in pvp, you just need soem skill to use it 🙂
3.)some of the numbers must be off coz on live orb of protection for example gives 10% weapon dmg not like he says 7.5
Mage nerfs are just stupid. Great Axe and hatchet left mostly untouched which is what 90% are running do to being so strong. If these changes go into effect will make the game much less appealing for me personally. Don't have many mage options in game. And no one use flamethrower which is useless in pvp.
Even with the healer tankyness I barely want to be a healer. Going to be silly to remove and benefit to being a healer, it’s not the most fun job
So basically my options as a healer now are to go full focus with zero constitution, eat the 40 focus food and wear light armor or else my expedition mates flame the crap out of me for not keeping up with the heals? Nice.
Could’ve just added a flat 10-20% reduction in self healing effectiveness or something.
Also as someone who was DPS before all the healers on our server transferred out, so what if you can’t kill a healer? The healer’s job is to heal the tanks/dps. If they’re busy healing themselves, go kill the others. And if we’re talking 1v1, it’s not like the healer can kill you either, literally just walk away.
Edit: good thing they reduced the cost to respec last update, now 80% of the server can run Greataxe Hammer.
Quitting mage
pillar of fire dont hit twice anymore. so thats a huge nerf even tho they buff the damage. use hammer GS is the future meta for mages i guess
That "Gravity" perk change causing pulls to root for 0.25 seconds is going to be absolutely disgusting in PvP! Great Axe has a perk that gives all heavy attacks a pull, and another perk that gives you grit and 20% damage reduction during heavy attacks.
These are for the test realm right not the actual world? So they figure out if the changes they are going to make are good?
Nice PvP will be so cool only seeing heavy Axe Players Seems about time to Switch to Battlefield
Chain cc healer, focus fire healer! No nvm, that takes a brain, just nerf them into oblivion so you can blindly smash things
