Im going to explain how OPR stacking works so everyone knows how to break the game mode. the first 5 stack accepts and looks at the enemy list. when the enemy team have 6 people load in the second group accepts. when the enemy team gets 15 people the 3rd group accepts. congrats you now have a 15 man premade. This was reported months ago quietly. Now my server is infested with this.
one technicality - Thanks for going so deep into this topic it's super interesting! But I'd still call the shirking fortification and Invigorated punishment relationship, mutually exclusive - as having any other fortify on you will equalise invigorated punishment damage you take from shirking fortification - so adding 2% base damage with no caveat is not 100% accurate, say you are standing in a sacred with shirking up (most bruisers). Other than that really good work breaking it down for us, new world has a pretty insane formula for this stuff! I've mostly gone off experience in pvp so far, but in medium I like to run x2 elemental aversion for burst damage sources and 3 shirking for total coverage and increased resistances to melee and bows, as you are quite limited by your gem arrangement.
thank you for this! people need to learn this stuff instead of going on discord and begging for everyone's class to be nerfed cause they cant figure this out.
Thank you for this breakdown! I am still learning a lot of this, and have a question: I'm a bow player and thought the 25 (+5% light attack damage) / 50 (+5% heavy attack damage) / 100 (+10% Physical Damage) STR attributes were translating to more damage via my bow. Based on your video those buffs only apply to MELEE attacks... Have I been shooting myself in the foot this whole time? 😆
Hello, can you pls make a video to clarify if stacking 8 elemental gems PLUS the protection perk (amulet) from the same element makes sence. Lots of guides and speedrunners tell you to go above 50% and they pay lots of gold for the amulets ... when in fact they get 2% reduction when the cap is 50%. I asked a lot of ppl and noone seems to know. Thx
SNS Defensive Formation provides absorb as an aura as well. Also, FWIW, by my analysis, SF loses in virtually every scenario, even before you account for uptime. If you pull up the most skilled Medium Bruiser VODs and time their uptime, it's even more grim. Ultimately, if you take SF, you are sacrificing 2 armor perk slots and choosing between losing elemental reduction or losing physical reduction uptime (basically, Opals vs. Onyxes).
Yeah, there are a few more Absorb perks such as Conditioning here - same with Fortifies! My goal was not to make a complete list of all possible ones, but just quickly show the common ones that affect most players! There are some niche scenarios where SF may come out ahead, but more on that in the next days!
@@Novalax Yes. You can have any amount of Ele Aversion. But you need 5x SF. That said, once you establish the thresholds for comparison, you naturally move on to ideal setups. The strongest possible SF Bruiser defensive profile is something like: Balanced rating: 5x Resil, 5x SF, 3x Freedom, Grav Well, Maelstrom; 3x Opal, 5x Onyx, Slash Protection The "I swiped for SF" cope meta, which is the best way to adapt the last major update BIS to current circumstances, looks like this: Physical-biased rating: 5x Resil, 5x SF, 3x Freedom, Grav Well, Maelstrom; 6x Opal, 2x Onyx, Slash Protection Both are vastly inferior to the ideal EA Bruiser: Physical-biased rating: 5x Resil, 5x EA, 3x Freedom, Grav Well, Maelstrom; 2x Opal, 6x Onyx, Slash Protection The reduction is much more robust, with higher Slash, Strike, and Arcane reduction on 100% uptime that cannot be purged by Oblivion. Consider that even the best Bruisers playing on point only manage around 41% uptime for SF in the current patch; this is down from 84% last patch, and I think people severely underestimate how much of an indirect nerf SF and RE have gotten from the Oblivion stamina change. And really, uptime is the key. You want to maximize Slash Protection and Onyxes. Some actually argue we should be taking Sapphires or Arcane Protection to reduce Detonate damage as well, but I think it's unnecessary with 4-5x EA.
What about a ring perk that extends fortify duration? I’ve been thinking of using that with my void blade build. Can also extend fortify from scream, blade and IG abilities. On a side note I’ve been easily pulling top 3 in OPR with void blade in light. Everyone running physical gems and elem aversion is letting me roll melee fights.
@@aortenzio ga wh. Im playing with 5 shirk heals and i heal about 1450hp per dodge, which is huge. Its basicaly 3000hp every 5s. And in wars its even higher with the sacred grounds lying around everywhere. I have basicaly more EHP than any shirk fort/elem. Its also more reliable because its an easy proc. While shirking fort and elem you loose value when you arent getting hit, shirking heals you arent. Also im playing with lifestealing on both weapons, leeching on ring, divine on amulet and regeneration on earing (and healty toast when out of wars)
Correction, Fortify and Rend are still ABS, ArmorFortify and ArmorRend are the new changes. This clarification helps out when using the datasheets to understand what does what.
Truly impressive man. You are definitely my top "go-to" for solid, in-depth New World information!
My head exploded half way through this. Not sure what kind of damage I took. :p

Sir Francis Duke + his band of privateers sailing those uncharted waters. Man went so deep, I'm expecting them to discover a Kraken in the next one.
Tank you for making the best content for NW this days. Keep the god work.
Without a more deterministic way of getting gear. Gearing and theorycrafting in New World will stay a pain imo
thank you for this! people need to learn this stuff instead of going on discord and begging for everyone's class to be nerfed cause they cant figure this out.
Light ranged player? Just a wild guess.
Wow, thanks for all the work! I am looking forward for the gear recommendations.
Great video, pve equipment guide for less dmg taken and higher dmg output please
Thank you for this breakdown!

How on earth does this video only have 8 likes?!

Are you saying you lose 2 slots with SF because you need 5 SF to be effective?
@@Novalax Yes. You can have any amount of Ele Aversion. But you need 5x SF.
That said, once you establish the thresholds for comparison, you naturally move on to ideal setups. The strongest possible SF Bruiser defensive profile is something like:
Balanced rating: 5x Resil, 5x SF, 3x Freedom, Grav Well, Maelstrom; 3x Opal, 5x Onyx, Slash Protection
The "I swiped for SF" cope meta, which is the best way to adapt the last major update BIS to current circumstances, looks like this:
Physical-biased rating: 5x Resil, 5x SF, 3x Freedom, Grav Well, Maelstrom; 6x Opal, 2x Onyx, Slash Protection
Both are vastly inferior to the ideal EA Bruiser:
Physical-biased rating: 5x Resil, 5x EA, 3x Freedom, Grav Well, Maelstrom; 2x Opal, 6x Onyx, Slash Protection

@@bellgrand that was informative. thanks
@@bellgrand Is Slash Protection still ideal? I thought with bruisers going 200 str, there shouldn't be much burst coming from slash damage.
What is EHP?
so different fortify buffs doesnt stack as 1buff they are all separate? shirk heal abilities?
Elemental Aversion or Shirking fortification for a melee medium in arena?
Battle Bread ? 5% abs and damage in OPR.
Great overview video, thanks!
First !!! Love your content
@Dukesloth don’t forget about flame conditioning paired with elemental aversion.
What about a ring perk that extends fortify duration? I’ve been thinking of using that with my void blade build. Can also extend fortify from scream, blade and IG abilities.
On a side note I’ve been easily pulling top 3 in OPR with void blade in light. Everyone running physical gems and elem aversion is letting me roll melee fights.
Naked hatchet PvP is the way to go ..... simple, balanced, all ya need is a descent hatchet.
And never having to worry about understanding mitigation, smart move, I like it!
Thanks! Even though all of this is pointless with the new gear rework! Economy is crashing
5mins in and I'm lost lol
Some time o think light and heavy the same try to hit mage no dmg😢
WHOA... did you unstuck at the flower boss to the beginning?
Is there any formula or table to know how much damage we absorb in dungeons
Comment for algoritm : )
In conclusion elemental aversion for light and medium and shirking for heavy and maybe medium
That's absolutely not the kind of conclusion I'd draw from this! I'll discuss all the results in the next days
Great content as usual my dude
spankys for the testing
Nice!
*clears throat*... shift key
...but what if I rebound my dodge?
@@DukeSloth 👁👄👁
Shirking heals still unheard
Shirking Heals still unbuffed :(
@@DukeSloth Telling you a secret here. Its actualy better than both elem and shirk fort. Keep it to yourself, but i abuse it and people are MAD.
@@bonbarmandrink how do you abuse it? what perks and abilities are you using? what weapons?
@@aortenzio ga wh. Im playing with 5 shirk heals and i heal about 1450hp per dodge, which is huge. Its basicaly 3000hp every 5s.

Wonder why so much focus for pve when like 10% people play it PvP us basically dead in the game. And there is no info about faction wars.
