New World – Duels! Musket + Rapier vs Melee (Gaxe/Ham, S&S/Hatchet)



My damage is a little low b/c I’m not using any food or honing stones, but these were fun duels vs a Greataxe + Hammer, and vs a Sword Shield + Hatchet. I’ve just started using traps and will need time to get accustomed to using them. Bonus info: Sundering Riposte STACKS with the 20% rend from your trap. Build wise, I just moved the points from Power Shot and the passive Empowering Weakness to get 3 points in Traps.

  1. Really nice. I considered switching to musket now after the patch. Just one question: in one of your previous videos you showed your PvE switch build. Any reason for using the spear there instead of the rapier?

  2. One thing Muskets for long range so in a mob your dead, Rapier is for personal defense like if you long range and 1 person comes up to you and you dart away and start dodging and shooting.Your happy bunny that shoots .

  3. You are a god playing, but tbh that S&S was pretty average. He couldn't abuse your low stamina a single time, not even landed a leap + bash combo the right way. As S&S you are able to instant block the shot, then you should lower your guard to regen stamina or will be prone to be stamina broken every single time like you did to him.
    Nice duels! NW really needs to invest more into small scale, I think it's where the game shines.
