Gear Requirements in New World for Various Builds

Recent discussions have revolved around the time and effort needed to acquire gear for achieving viability in PvP. Many individuals argue that having gear with two perks is sufficient to be competitive. However, there’s a lack of awareness regarding the extent to which gear affects PvP Tanks and Bruisers.

Indeed, Dexterity, Light Melee, Mages, and Healers can thrive with gear sporting just two perks. When it comes to Bruisers and Tanks, the disparity between having two perks and three perks can result in a 50% or even greater boost in survivability. Bruisers and Tanks frequently engage in combat within sacred grounds, where skill often takes a backseat to gear-based damage output and mitigation. While a single perk might seemingly provide only a 15% boost in defense, the outcome in scenarios where both a two-perk and three-perk Bruiser take a hit for their maximum health becomes apparent.

In such cases, the two-perk Bruiser succumbs, while the three-perk Bruiser survives. Such situations occur far more frequently in the realm of Bruisers and Tanks than in the exchanges between two Dexterity players engaging in a bow or musket showdown. In the case of Dexterity and Light Melee, the primary objective is to evade incoming attacks and maximize damage output. Success is largely determined by evasive skills and precise accuracy. Conversely, for Bruisers and Tanks, actively absorbing damage through objective-based play is often essential, and your opponents are not typically fleeing. Both sides deploy abilities while clumped together, and numerical superiority holds significant sway.

For Mages, positioning holds the lion’s share of importance, followed by skill, accuracy, and gear(You can use New World coins to boost your equipment’s attributes.). In the Dexterity category, skill ranks as the top priority, followed by accuracy, positioning, and gear. Light Melee fighters prioritize positioning, skill, gear, and accuracy in equal measure. Tanks heavily rely on gear for their effectiveness, followed by positioning, skill, and accuracy. Bruisers place emphasis on gear, positioning, skill, and accuracy in that order. Healers prioritize positioning above all else, with gear, accuracy, and skill playing smaller roles.

These distinctions in build requirements account for the significant variance in the time and effort required to grind for gear across different character builds in New World.
