Title: Respecc'ing
Post by: Penfold on October 27, 2021, 10:49:57 AM
I'm going to respec as a Healer as (unless mistaken) it's one area we're light. ?

In a rare flash of enthusiam, I read this thread

https://www.reddit.com/r/newworldgame/comments/ovy50b/leveling_as_a_healer/

Do you guys concur with this?

Otherwise, perhaps one of our resident healers/knowedge bases could give me a simple  'do these stats and use these items' thing?

TIA.

I think that is an accurate post. We do have way too few Tanks, more healers have appeared. Every time I do a dungeon healers are left our as we have 3 or 4 always online, we never have enough DPS.  If you want regular gameplay, DPS when endgame will always see you right, tank as well but that's a little more personal choice and most tanks are mental.

I agree with Albert healers are not what is really needed as much as tanks and other Dps. We only need a single healer per group but need 3 dps per group. If you want to be a healer though by all means go ahead, at the end of the day people should play what they want to :)

Honestly I don't particularly care but want to play something that's easy. I could stick with the rapier and bow or rapier and fire stick but I do seem to get mullered quite a lot.

Personally i love the rapier / bow combo.. Bow headshots to pull then rapier when in close, love it. Get into heavy head, heavy chest, light legs, med boots and gloves (puts you at the top of med load), get 50con to make the heal pots better, i also use water for hot heals after battle and basic pots(very easy to make)

Build wise for the Rapier i love Riposte, flurry and tondo. getting the timing down on when to use Riposte you can really tank well and get the resets on cooldowns to flurry again. (also try to get the perk on an armor item that give you heal on flurry)
