You need to play void gauntlet now for leveling, it is hands down the best leveling weapon. Lifestaff void gauntlet is the best leveling combo you can do it all solo
ive always enjoyed glass cannon builds huge dps and im rly good at staying alive and mechanics. ill be getting this game on console soon and been thinking abt occultist, would it be easier like you said to just level up with with a diff weapon
Bow Spear is great for leveling- honestly they're all good Spear is by far the best weapon for just solo play as far as potential best CC that still does damage in the game next to IG or WH. I think firestaff is generally a good weapon I just am more comfortable with bow, FS has a lil better AOE which is where Id give it the possible edge for just tagging groups of mobs.
*TL:DW;* === Get 15 minutes of your life back === C Blunderbuss A Bow S Fire Staff (FS) C Flail A Great Axe (GA) S Greatsword (GS) S Hatchet B Ice Gauntlet (IG) A Life Staff (LS) C Musket A Rapier S Spear A Sword & Shield (SnS) B Void Gauntlet (VG) B War Hammer (WH)
I love leveling with GA/WH or GA/Hatchet. Grav Well combos work nicely in PVE just like they do in PVP, and swapping between hatchet and wh depending on the content seems to check all the boxes for me. Super nice for AOE clearing, CC, and survivability
For me I feel like nothing is smoother when it comes to game play as void gauntlet using void blade. You have self sustain and melee with the option to turn the blade off and range attack. Aside from that I will probably just pair SnS with it even though the stats aren’t the same. I’ll just swapping into sns when I need some extra defense. If not that then life staff. Thx for the video.
Yeah, I'm a huge fan of voidblade as well, used to main it. But nowadays I would go for a Flail offhand over SnS in your case, better scaling overlap and also has a ton of defense!
I leveled primarily with Sword and Shield and Flail and Shield with some spear, hatchet, and great axe mixed in. really no wrong way to do it. I'm going to level a new character just to se all the changes which will be an archer charter so will be Bow and something else haven't decided. I use a bow a good bit when I'm out gathering resources just a ton a fun. This game the sky is the limit with the weapon combos you can be a heavy armor battlemage if you wanted to one of its best qualities of the game even when it wasn't great at release.
Imh warhammer is great since the very beginning: it has grit on all skills and heavy attack, meaning you don't EVER get stunned. It also has possibly the highest single target dps in the game thanks the the sheer damage combined with the debuff. You can kill pretty much any mob during leveling with 2 strikes. I doubt any other weapon can do that.
SNS/GS is the prob the best weapon combo if you're leveling. You're pretty much a burst dmg tank & can occasionally heal yourself. I use it for end game PVP & it has amazing self sustain.
Weird as it sounds, I love the musket and void gauntlet combo. Little bit of regen if needed. It only sucks against people with shields and large groups.
I feel like that's a bit early, since we don't know the full list of changes yet. For example, depending on target lock changes certain weapons like Blunderbuss may be better or worse.
I usually run greatsword for solo stuff, and the trenchant recovery perk on one is very nice, but it can be tricky because you take extra damage in onslaught stance. Sword and shield is pretty safe, just left click things until you win. Thumbs up!
I wanna do builds like musket blunderbuss like an explosives engineer or void gauntlet flail round shield a more support buff focused dps 🤔 or musket or blunderbuss with ice gauntlet using pylon and spike and storm
There will be some changes, but most of them are relatively minor. A lot of shuffling perks around in skill trees etc. Many of the biggest changes are actually secondary effects for heavy attacks!
Yo Duke do you know if it gonna work to claim the rewards for this season pass on the fresh server? it worked on last server fresh but a lot of people say that ags announced it will not be possible but i cant find the source
@@DukeSloth oh thanks some said check your videos but i checked every time stamp and couldnt find it because was so short xddd anyway thanks for the info really helpfull
I'll be leveling as IG/VG. "B tier" Takes ice spike until ~25 when you have the cooldown and crit synergies. But once it's up an running, practically unkillable in pve.
Ice Spike combo builds in lategame are insane, really good for PvE farm/speedruns. Just takes a while to get all the perks required etc and honestly also a fair bit of practice for new players!
It's definitely on the slow end, but in return you can fight a lot of mobs at once. Personally, I'd go for Void Gauntlet + Life Staff for leveling and then switch to Flail once you reach max level if you want to level faster.
Its not needed until lvl 60 HOWEVER you wontrbe able to get a mount at lvl 20 without it. So if you don't mind running everywhere then no its not needed
@epps8686 Locking mounts behind a dlc is so stupid, but yea, that's fine. I only got to level 35 last time, so I'm gonna hold off on buying it. Also, Scandroid is very cool.
@@fronk_alt I agree that keeping it behind the DLC sucks, however I've gotten my moneys worth playing the game on PC. to each their own though and you're completely justified in your choice. Scandroid is very cool :)
Yo, flail + SnS work for pve tank +/ pvp build? Saw some dude run offensive flail and sword + shield for pvp, but Wonder if I can combine it with pve aswell! Thanks for content
It is absolutely enough, if you get The Butcher from Dynasty Shipyard it's actually one of the strongest DPS weapons in the game. The main struggle is finding a dungeon group that will accept you, because some of them won't know this.
@@DukeSloth thanks! Planing on playing sns/gs +flail as dps and/or tank, so if the dps is rough i guess ill try to tank instead 😁 appreciate the answers, c u in Aternum!
Decent list but a few strange choices. Fire staff too many mana problems until much later in the game, especially with the removal of heavy attacks costing 0 mana on the passive. Life staff has to be at least C tier if not D tier. If you just use the life staff it will be one of the slowest leveling weapons in the game and it's not close.
Yeah guess I'm prioritising speed and imagining near perfect play. I do think even if you go for the average player it would still not be A tier. You need to rely too heavily on your 2nd weapon to go at any speed and we arent talking about weapon combos here but single weapons
@darthasavage7213 solo is just fine, light attacks for refresh, beacon, sacred ground. It only becomes hard if you try to use another weapon for lengthy time. Use void off hand and drop oblivion and go back to LS lights until skills re up.
All around i feel that the life staff might the best starting weapon, not because it is strong or whatever, just because it's a pain to levelup, might aswell do it asap
...lol GSword? nope 2 nd Tier at best... also Spear&Hatchet is offHand not prime weapon... SnS is only valid in Dung. but you need to have Atrib. for it
Oh wow, what a groundbreaking moment in gaming history! Because, you know, no one ever made a tier list before MASTERVAVI. Truly revolutionary stuff. I'm sure the world collectively gasped in awe and immediately had no choice but to copy it.
@@geraldsgl I follow every content creator in new world and facts are facts. If you are just gaslighting that's fine but that's really not a good argument. Fact is that after his video it got SUPER trendy FOR NEW WORLD, not other games. It's just getting annoying everyone doing the same 🫠

I’ll be leveling with Fire Staff and Void Gauntlet. Just drop Oblivion, use Flamethrower and repeat.
Great Sword/Spear w/ Hatchet >
good luck pvping with that ^^
He probably won't care about PvP@@ZaveWOW
this is just standard occult weapons right? will be playing console release so been researching some
As someone with 4k hours, for an immersive , engaging smooth leveling experience play with spear/ bow or musket
sns+hatchet is good too.use hatchet as a ranged side and sns like pvp build.Its making good atk+def ranged+melee
ive always enjoyed glass cannon builds huge dps and im rly good at staying alive and mechanics. ill be getting this game on console soon and been thinking abt occultist, would it be easier like you said to just level up with with a diff weapon
Spear/Bow is what I chose because I liked Ranger.
@@zaza_ftlbow/spear is great for a glass cannon build imo.
im not too worried about leveling, as a new player im just gonna use what i enjoy over anything meta for awhile
Perfect video for you to watch and comment on then, since this video is about what is meta lvling.
That's why comment section is for everyone , giving opinion@@Svennen353

Ahh yes I was waiting for this! Ty🎉
I'm just here to support Duke! Great video nonetheless for newcomers.
I wish every weapon class had more abilites and less cooldowns. I feel like i just kill most enemies with light attacks and thats boring
Absolutely need more ability choices. Very bare bones compared to other games in the same category.

My only suprise was seeing BB so low since I enjoy leveling with it but i understand it's not the most effective for dungeons
Do we know if there are any weapon changes coming with the relaunch on the 15th?
There will be some changes, but most of them are relatively minor. A lot of shuffling perks around in skill trees etc. Many of the biggest changes are actually secondary effects for heavy attacks!
I will be leveling as a healer so I go for Heal Staff and Flail I love it to clear big mob groups alone.
Try void as second. You wont be dsappointed
Will there also be a video for the endgame tier list?
Thank you sir. Great video. If we could get a similar tier list for PvP please.
Musket is the grim reaper I’m not joking

Do you know about aim assist news? did the devs make them useable in pvp? I hope not because it will destroy the balance
Decent list but a few strange choices. Fire staff too many mana problems until much later in the game, especially with the removal of heavy attacks costing 0 mana on the passive. Life staff has to be at least C tier if not D tier. If you just use the life staff it will be one of the slowest leveling weapons in the game and it's not close.
LS might be slow but it has damn near 100% up time because the risk of death is super low for a casual player.

Agreeing .. LS is only B tier if you have a team constantly - it is by far the worse for solo. Which is okay cuz it stupid op late game.
@darthasavage7213 solo is just fine, light attacks for refresh, beacon, sacred ground. It only becomes hard if you try to use another weapon for lengthy time. Use void off hand and drop oblivion and go back to LS lights until skills re up.
ha in all magic weapon nl cost mana
Dukesloth your comment on the trailer release was gold just saw it lol
Not that relevant to rank weapons alone like this, since no one will use only a single weapon.
I'll be going with bow and greatsword
pull the mob with bow and then annihilate with greatsword 😂
All around i feel that the life staff might the best starting weapon, not because it is strong or whatever, just because it's a pain to levelup, might aswell do it asap
it's better to just pop a weapon lvl xp boost and join a world train with a lifestaff, you will literally max it in a few runs
they buffed the xp gain

Sword and shield is the best, nothing else compares. I'm working on making flail work but it is such a distant second to sword and shield.
