New World Builds: Spear and Bow Build | The Hunter (Sweeping Cyclone) Guide
New World Build Guide for the Bow and Spear. This Hunter Cyclone Bow and Spear Build that focuses on dealing damage over time, as well as significant AoE damage to destroy enemies quickly, while also knocking them down, preventing you and your teammates from taking damage. This is a PvE Build designed specifically with Expeditions in mind, but can also be used for PvE in general, and can be adapted to PvP should you be so inclined. If you’ve been looking for a good Bow and Spear Build, then this Guide is for you.

The way this Build works is that when you’re running an Expedition you’ll lead with Rain of Arrows to deal damage and set Bleeding once the tank has grouped enemies up. Then you’ll fire off Poison Shot to set the Poisoned Status Effect, placing your second DoT on the enemy group. Then fire off your Penetrating Shot, hopefully hitting a couple of enemies for mega damage, before charging in with your Spear.

Once you’re in melee range you’ll use Sweep to AoE further, and knock enemies down. Then you’ll follow up with Cyclone to deal even more damage, and then you’ll begin Light Attacking enemies to finish them off, using Javelin to knock enemies down that are attacking you from range. If you ever have trouble staying in melee range without dying, then back away and use your Bow until it’s safe.

Remember that you can fight with your Bow at range, even if you do less overall DPS in situations where you might get yourself killed by closing to melee. Some Bosses have very wide arcing swings that can clip you, even when they are glued to the tank. Watch for good openings before moving in, and make sure to keep your DoTs on the Boss.

It’s harder to group up enemies on the landscape if you’re playing solo, but you have plenty of damage, so don’t be afraid to pull a few. Use Rain of Arrows in front of where they will be, since there is a slight delay, and then Sweep them when they get near to knock them down. Dodge away if you need, or use Cyclone to finish them off.

As I mentioned, you can use this Build to PvP, but you’ll likely want to swap out Cyclone for Vault Kick for the extra CC. You can also swap out Rain of Arrows, if you’re fighting few players, for Evade Shot or Rapid Shot as well. Both are better suited to PvP than Rain of Arrows, unless you are fighting more than a few enemies.

Lastly, make sure to craft the best Arrows you can use, or purchase them from the Trading Post if you cannot. This will help to further boost your damage, allowing you to deal the most damage you can. These are not hard to make, and they are not overly expensive to buy. Make sure you stock up before an Expedition, because running out of arrows in the middle of one is embarrassing!

  4. I use perforrate because I like the leg-sweep into perforrate combo, but will definitely give cyclone a go.

    I used to use javelin, which is fantastic for pvp and pve and combos well with sweep and the knockdown, but I found that I just wasn't hitting enough with it and switched vault kick since it's like a semi-movement, as well as stun. We'll see how it goes in pvp.

  9. Thanks for yet another well thought out and presented build 🙂 I ran into a few Spear players which impaled me without effort. Seeing that it’s also usable in PvE and especially in expeditions makes it interessting. I make sure to give this a try. See you on stream 😉

  18. I just thought about buying New World and my computer caught on fire. Then New World started dating my grandmother and she passed ten years ago. It demagnetized my credit cards and destroyed the chips in the cards. When it was done with that it got drunk, stole my car, and drove it into an underpass pilon. I'm not even going to tell you about the mess it left in my bathroom.

  27. Great and very informative video, but I think I will still take vault kick over cyclone.
    The cooldown restore together with the passive that does the same thing on heavy attacks let you sweep twice before the enemy even gets out of the cc-chain.
    When I've got an Emerald and Jasper, which one should I use on my bow-gem-slot?
