New World takes a unique approach to role design compared to traditional MMORPGs: Instead of choosing a class, you can mix any of the two weapons available in the game and anyone can wear light, medium and heavy armor. This allows for a lot of unique combinations and playstyles without having to compromise on performance. Often, it’s also easy to switch roles without necessarily having to change your attribute skill points. While this allows for a lot of flexibility, it also comes with a downside: Roles in New World aren’t as clearly defined. However, if you have an MMO or RPG background and want to play more traditional classes like Tank, Healer, Mage Hunter, Bruiser, Warlock or Assassin, you still have options. All of the archetypical roles are represented in New World through different weapon and armor choices, which we’ll be looking at in this video. So you can still have a classic MMO role or maybe experiment outside of the norm a little.

Are you planning to play a traditional role or are you trying to create something unique outside of the role norms? NW Predownload is now available btw 🙂
Any questions? TWITCH: http://www.twitch.tv/dukesloth // DISCORD (New World): https://discord.gg/RY5RKNeNSP
did duke just forget about smite? I miss his smite content
I don't think life staff needs nerfed, they need to just make it if you swap weapons from the life staff all of your HOTS and heal effects end.
It's a game that does not have classes, so you specifically use the word classes.
vae.fyi
smashing
Subbed. Great guide ez to understand, talked about strengths and weakness with paring the weapons. Didn't just ramble on and on.
FIRST awesome content as always 🙂
Second can't wait for u to start streaming new world again 😉
I'm gonna make a viking bruiser build with sword and shield as my primary and hatchet as my secondary ranged-ish weapon using berserk, social distancing and infected throw. Do you think it could work for pvp or is the throwing tree on hatchet just completely trash?
Couldn't find the link to the block tank guide you mentioned in the video.
my brain. must… play… summoner class… NNEED
The weapon choices still feel generic and limited; They desperately need to add some more unique/fun weapons. Kind of hoping for more in depth/fresh takes; I'd love to see a weapon that lets us be a skin walker where we get two forms to choose from that offer us a high mobility bruiser class that isn't just "Oh look im a guy with a sword."
So Duke, have you seen the new Smite teaser?
Tnx duke great way to put the info so I can send it to the bois
Excellent guide. Also I love how you snuck in Agni at 6:35 lol
Musket also has secondary scaling with intel
I really love your content man. Keep it up.
GREAT JOB, once again, in putting out a video that encompasses all that is necessary to be known about the traits for Weaponry, Classes and it's abilities. Keep up the good work you do! I look forward to your videos!
How terrible of a tank do you think Hammer/IG heavy armor will be? No shield to block ranged attacks and no aoe taunt. But so much more fun to play and pretty cool passive abilities. And definitely need some ranged weapon in heavy armor for PvP otherwise light armor mages or rapier players rolling circles around you with no way to answer.
Hey Duke! Although the trinity helps people make sense of these extremely complex MMORPGs, and this video is ideal for the many who rely on it, I never cared for that convention, any more than I cared for the utterly illogical concept that created the word 😉 Looking forward to your post-launch content 😊
@dukesloth, I find the concept of a "content creator" abhorrent by design, but I appreciate your content. It feels as thorough as it needs to be, and you clearly give effort into being objective, and it seems as though you attempt to plan your content; which helps to avoid the "ums", "uhhhs", and dead air. I also appreciate your lack of opinion based monologue. Thanks for the actual valuable content you often provide.
Excited to be a main healer with a secondary Ice Gauntlet for Expeditions & Warhammer for PvP. 1st time healer, so here goes nothing!
From smite to new world 😀
too hard for me to get all the nodes for fire staff so ima be hunter
