Hey there Jon! I'm not sure if you remember me, but I am Elsmora from Fed back in the day! Good stuff, my current company in Pollux is using this spreadsheet as a baseline. Nice hearing of you again!
Elsmora! For sure I remember you! Hope you've been well and love to hear it. One day maybe we'll end up on the same server again. Good to see you back at it.
There are a few pieces that I recommend. Privateer's ring is the top recommendation. I will have a video coming out very soon going over possible gypsum kiln pickups.
Good guide, maybe more commentary on why freedom + Tumbler over invigorated + Djinn and reliance on Flail support for hard cc invulnerability in clumps. Or even Freedom pants. I agree with your build the way its constructed. In practice as a bruiser hard cc chain is still the most likely thing to kill me so I lean towards a freedom build over Invigorated now that I've been able to test more on live.
I agree, I plan on going into more detail in regards to why/the theory crafting behind it. Maybe tonight if the Qs get me again. Maramma wait line simulator.
You could use Abyss but I would recommend a physical GA with the perks mentioned in the video. The problem running abyss with a Warhammer offhand is you have no way of lowering your mana below 100%. I have a bruiser Abyss video coming out very soon!
There are so little War guide on the internet, do you know any spot tank guide similiar to yours? The while in depth gearing part was amazing but I need that for Spot Tank. I wonder if you go full ruby gems these days and flame protection tower shield etc.
I can definitely give some information on tanking but a better source for PvP point tank would be Mecrow. He has a RUclips channel and is very knowledgeable on point tanking.
Let me get with some VG IG homies and I'll see what I can cook up for you. I am pretty knowledgeable on VG IG but by no means an expert, but I have some friends who are insane I can reach out to and pick their brain.
With WB the way it is, is there any opportunity to use the WH artifact and mighty gavel? Or is that useless? Was thinking the lightning damage might be worth it, the only thing stopping me was losing WB
We may see some Mjolnir play. Once it's obtainable, we'll do some testing. Dropping path and WB to get armor breaker and gavel might be viable. More to come on this.
I am currently running 4 opal/4 onyx for a 10% resist to all until I have a few more war vods to break down what's actually killing me. As far as gear, chromatic seal crafting has been the best source of gear so far. The azoth inductor crafting is the best but it is expensive!
I have yet to test GS in a heavy "bruiser" styled build BUT I would think it could be pretty tanky in a similar set up to one in the video. Personally, I still prefer GA as it is a very versatile weapon.
Everyone can get tumbler shoes. They are level 20 on the free season pass. They are definitely worth grabbing. Slash/strike con isn't that great of a perk compared to health, freedom, grit ward. If you can't get those three, next up would be enchanted ward.
I've also got people telling me enchanted ward is better than grit ward due to it working when you aren't attacking. Grit ward you have to be attacking but it's reducing all dmg so not sure. What's your logic of it over enchanted?
Lost stopwatch is a decent item but it is geared more towards PvE or 1v1 gameplay. Stuns in a war or group PvP environment are more so hard interrupts or peels. Very rarely do they last the duration due to the effect ending on damage.
Awesome was waiting for this video. Have a couple questions. Are there any name ga that have perk to be bis with the last one to re roll? Also what do you think about health, grit wars and enchanted ward? Also what about getting max number of refreshing to help with cool down? Thanks for the videos!
The closest to BiS named GA that drops is the Taiyi Axe that drops from named mobs in the Imperial Palace elite zone. As far as the perks go, health and grit ward are very strong. I'll have a video dropping soon going over the math/theory crafting as to why. Enchanted ward is solid but definitely outshined by grit ward for this class in particular. Refreshing isn't bad to have but not as good as the perks in the build in the video. Refreshing move will help farm cooldowns while pressuring enemies at the same time. The defensive perks allow us to do so with less risk. Hope this helps!
I have a guide/video set to come out this week on it. Just waiting for the patch notes this Wednesday to make sure they don't change anything on me. Stay tuned!
Shirking fort is good on medium but you shouldn't rely on it solely for defense. This can be wiped by Nullifying Oblivion and other diminishing perks. Diminishing Orb is going to be very strong with patch for VGs with Magnetic Gauntlets so be careful relying solely on any buffs that can be wiped.
I appreciate the comment but I cannot go against the Bruiser Code of Aeternum. I will not be making any guide that involves exclusive coverage of the Rapier. Sorry homie.
Surprised you think shirk heals & ankh is gonna get nerfed but not tumbler. IMO the shirking empower or 25% fortify are both good enough to break into their own arti (Maybe, def on the SF perk). I think tumbler gets whacked soon too. Good vid man!
It definitely needs toned down as well. I think it may get missed in the first pass through due to ankh/shirking heals being more of an obvious issue if that makes sense. Much easier to see someone's health constantly heal compared to fortify/empower.
Only certain builds (mainly split stat builds) make good usage of the attuned pants in my opinion. Tumbler Shoes provide too many bonuses to pass up as a medium player.
im loving new world but that pvp fighting looks like a hot mess, to each their own but not sure how thats fun or how do you even tell whats going on lol
It definitely doesn't feel as good but it is still useful for knocking down enemies chasing your healers or non grit enemies. Just can't combo off of it as good as we used to.
@@JungleJon37 + if u use ARMOR Breaker before u could WB dodge and then armor breaker now u have to stay lock into the full duration of thoses both animation in order to perform that very combo leaving u open to burst window
@@JungleJon37 and u have nothing to set up ur shokwave now u cant expect anyone to get shokwaved in a fight outside of war unless they are locked into an animation of their own !
Only person on youtube reppin' bruisers rn 🙌
Appreciate the love homie!
The only one with some real knowledge too for bruisers on yt ngl im hungry about his content
Hey there Jon! I'm not sure if you remember me, but I am Elsmora from Fed back in the day! Good stuff, my current company in Pollux is using this spreadsheet as a baseline. Nice hearing of you again!
Elsmora! For sure I remember you! Hope you've been well and love to hear it. One day maybe we'll end up on the same server again. Good to see you back at it.
Thanks a lot. Love to see more of this build
More to come!
Any up Dates Brother on the build ...
This build has stood the test of time and still feels great! I will be releasing an updated video with S4 when it comes to live.
Mahaloz big time Thank you Brother was waiting for this one...💯🤙🏾
Of course! As always, more to come!
Happy new year Brother stay safe and blessed...
love the content, would love to know more about pvp what to grind what to spec in, opr how to game it and get better
I will be releasing a "How to OPR" Bruiser guide soon! Stay tuned!
syncretic armor stuff seems easy bis for heavy bruiser it has grit ward slash conditioning and pick a 3rd perk weapon / shirking heals or health
any crafted gear from the kiln you'd recommend?
There are a few pieces that I recommend. Privateer's ring is the top recommendation. I will have a video coming out very soon going over possible gypsum kiln pickups.
@@JungleJon37 cool, yea 2nd time I've seen someone recommend that one, printed two. Ima be looking for a better roll in the future tho

Hello. What Runeglasses do you use on your weapons? Great video!
I use Arboreal Opal in my weapons!
Hi is Abyss viable with this build if you put thwarting strikes as upgrade ?
You could use Abyss but I would recommend a physical GA with the perks mentioned in the video. The problem running abyss with a Warhammer offhand is you have no way of lowering your mana below 100%. I have a bruiser Abyss video coming out very soon!
anything you would change if used in 3v3 arena?
YES! I would drop maelstrom and go a Bloodlust/Reap build on the GA.
There are so little War guide on the internet, do you know any spot tank guide similiar to yours? The while in depth gearing part was amazing but I need that for Spot Tank. I wonder if you go full ruby gems these days and flame protection tower shield etc.
I can definitely give some information on tanking but a better source for PvP point tank would be Mecrow. He has a RUclips channel and is very knowledgeable on point tanking.
Hello Jon very nice video thank you. Can I use this build in expeditions? Or its only for pvp?
I would only use this in PvP. It is very high con and would be lacking in damage for expeditions.
Hey dude nice video. How much do you think would a GA like this you suggesting would sell?
Depends on the server and the cost of materials. Azoth inductors hurt the super high value items. You can still get 200k-400k depending on the server.
I got one with ref move thwarting and shirking nature…but for 18k. Better than nothing 700gs also
Hey mate, do you know if shirking heals gets effected by Ankh?
It in fact does! Very strong interaction between the two.
VG IG Build pls ^^ ive been running those shoes with 2 perkers health and enchanted ward idk if I can get smthin better
Let me get with some VG IG homies and I'll see what I can cook up for you. I am pretty knowledgeable on VG IG but by no means an expert, but I have some friends who are insane I can reach out to and pick their brain.
appreciate youz@@JungleJon37
What armor pices heavy chest ,pants and what next i dont see
With WB the way it is, is there any opportunity to use the WH artifact and mighty gavel? Or is that useless? Was thinking the lightning damage might be worth it, the only thing stopping me was losing WB
We may see some Mjolnir play. Once it's obtainable, we'll do some testing. Dropping path and WB to get armor breaker and gavel might be viable. More to come on this.
@@JungleJon37 cheers mate
Have you played 300 str 300 con?
I did. Tried it out. Felt good but 250/350 felt better.
Hey ! thx for the guide, but i have a problem, i cant get into 250 str,.... i have 350 con (with con buff food) and 238 Str...everything else is 5
Nvm i did not see that 700 gs items have 1-2 to more stats than 690 gs
Gearscore matters as well as food. There are new foods (all banana oriented) that grant 48 points now.
Use the banana foods
Where do you find gear with the 3 perks ... Freedom, Health, Grit ward... also what gems are you running?
I am currently running 4 opal/4 onyx for a 10% resist to all until I have a few more war vods to break down what's actually killing me.
As far as gear, chromatic seal crafting has been the best source of gear so far.
The azoth inductor crafting is the best but it is expensive!
opal/onyx without runeglass? @@JungleJon37
im curious why you wouldn't use enchanted ward ?
Enchanted ward isn't bad by any means. It's just not as strong as grit ward and health on a bruiser.
How is heavy greatsword hammer in patch 3 with serenity in the game
I have yet to test GS in a heavy "bruiser" styled build BUT I would think it could be pretty tanky in a similar set up to one in the video.
Personally, I still prefer GA as it is a very versatile weapon.
if I can't get tumbler shoes, what would you run instead?
Also how do you feel about slash/Strike conditioning? I'm looking to farm some of the syencretic heavy pieces
Everyone can get tumbler shoes. They are level 20 on the free season pass. They are definitely worth grabbing.
Slash/strike con isn't that great of a perk compared to health, freedom, grit ward. If you can't get those three, next up would be enchanted ward.
@@JungleJon37 I got tumbler on my alt by mistake
I've also got people telling me enchanted ward is better than grit ward due to it working when you aren't attacking. Grit ward you have to be attacking but it's reducing all dmg so not sure. What's your logic of it over enchanted?
yo how about lost stop watch on amulet ? 100% stun longger effect
Lost stopwatch is a decent item but it is geared more towards PvE or 1v1 gameplay. Stuns in a war or group PvP environment are more so hard interrupts or peels. Very rarely do they last the duration due to the effect ending on damage.
in wars stun duration doesn't matter as much since there's so much happening around clumps that someone is bound to cancel the stun duration
Awesome was waiting for this video. Have a couple questions.
Are there any name ga that have perk to be bis with the last one to re roll?
Also what do you think about health, grit wars and enchanted ward?

Definitely need help with The Abyss, I feel like I'm not really playing with it right!

Waiting for a regular bruiser pov/vod also season 3 headsup
Awesome vid, thank you
What are your weapon gems please? :)
Good question! I am running Arboreal Opals in both weapons.
@@JungleJon37 Good to know, thank you and keep up the good work :)
Shirking Fortification is good or nao
Shirking fort is good on medium but you shouldn't rely on it solely for defense. This can be wiped by Nullifying Oblivion and other diminishing perks. Diminishing Orb is going to be very strong with patch for VGs with Magnetic Gauntlets so be careful relying solely on any buffs that can be wiped.
Was wondering what gems? Weapons, armour and jewelry
I've been running 4 Pristine Onyx and 4 Pristine Opal in gear (armor and jewelry) currently. Weapons I run Abyssal Opal Runeglass.
@@JungleJon37 thanks so much. No rune glass in armour?
The runeglass would only bring more void empower for this build which helps but not as much as the true mitigation from gems.
It's ok to play this in full heavy set ?
I would not. Medium in this build is already EXTREMELY tanky. You will lose damage going heavy.
This build as of S3 launch, it feels great.
It's been feeling so good in group PvP.
hey mate nice vid, anyway you can share that spreadsheet? thanks.
Sorry if I missed it, but what gems are you rocking in your gear?
I have been running a 10% split. 4 opals and 4 onyx. Once the meta develops fully, I may change this.
Good vid, are you doing PVE builds as well?
I do not have any plans on moving into PvE guides. I do enjoy pve in new world but the theory crafting/builds of PvP is what I have passion for.
i want to see a rapier/ bow build jon.
I appreciate the comment but I cannot go against the Bruiser Code of Aeternum. I will not be making any guide that involves exclusive coverage of the Rapier. Sorry homie.
Surprised you think shirk heals & ankh is gonna get nerfed but not tumbler. IMO the shirking empower or 25% fortify are both good enough to break into their own arti (Maybe, def on the SF perk). I think tumbler gets whacked soon too. Good vid man!

@@JungleJon37 are u still using tumbler and akhn after the nerf?
Abyss bruiser build for when?? :D
VERY SOON!!! :)
Int Bruiser build when?
IT'S HERE AS OF NOW! LET'S GOOOO!
Shirking Fortification o grit ward
With this build we are taking both. Grit ward on gear, shirking fort from tumbler boots.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate the fire support!
attuned artifact useless in war ? u can 250/350 stat without attuend artifact lol
Only certain builds (mainly split stat builds) make good usage of the attuned pants in my opinion. Tumbler Shoes provide too many bonuses to pass up as a medium player.
im loving new world but that pvp fighting looks like a hot mess, to each their own but not sure how thats fun or how do you even tell whats going on lol
I've been pvping on new world for 2 years now and it may seem like a cluster but it's actually a blast when you know the game well.
Yeah I tried it and as a new player who just hit lvl 65 with no best in slot you’re just boned.
they ruined WB !
It definitely doesn't feel as good but it is still useful for knocking down enemies chasing your healers or non grit enemies. Just can't combo off of it as good as we used to.
@@JungleJon37 + if u use ARMOR Breaker before u could WB dodge and then armor breaker now u have to stay lock into the full duration of thoses both animation in order to perform that very combo leaving u open to burst window
@@JungleJon37 and u have nothing to set up ur shokwave now u cant expect anyone to get shokwaved in a fight outside of war unless they are locked into an animation of their own !

Sorry haha. PvP is my NW passion.
