This build is so much fun. I tried it out a couple of days ago and instantly fell in love. Hatchet and Greataxe. I always play those kind of Berserker/Viking builds and this is it in New World. Thanks for making a video for this build and sharing it with us. If you wanna Fight like a mad man in New World, then this is the build for you. Aaaand since this is a strength Build you can also make use of the attributes for your tank build without respeccing(?) all the time :)
Switched to this exact build a couple of days ago and it is amazing. Especially solo questing in high level areas was almost impossible before but now it's a lot of fun again. Great video btw, straight to the point with all information & tips needed. Thanks!
Been running this build too, alternatively you can take the hammer secondary if you're doing faction PvP missions where you're getting ganked a lot. Use the hammer rotation to stunlock enemies, then swap to hatchets, hit the heavy attack for the damage buff while they're prone, use berzerk to animation cancel and go to town.
Regardless of the bug where you tell people not to get passed 250str... you are missing something huge. At 300 your attacks get grit. Needless to say having grit is way more important than being slowed down a bit.
Heavy attacks get grit with a perk. Light attacks having grit is nice, but the animation delay is so dramatic that 249 str is much better than 300+ str.
I'm using Hatchet and Warhammer at the moment w/medium armor, at least until berserk is nerfed to the ground eventually. The CC warhammer has with it's HUGE burst potential makes things just too easy. I think people undervalue warhammer and it's CC and damage (Use swing or a CC then heavy attack for bonus damage then after two swings, most mobs are just plain dead) I found Great axe is nice, but lack of CC (Other than gravity well) makes you take more incoming damage over warhammer.
Agreed. WH is better for chasing and locking down targets that are trying to kite you, so probably ranged players, but if you're getting mobbed then warhammer is way, way better.
I been using very similar build, I been getting rekt as soon as I go in wars, its pretty decent 1v1. However mages if they land slows on you they you can lose 1v1 easy. I am thinking to change build now so I can be better in wars. Agree with heavy armor being best on Gaxe also.
Yup i think like this too. Playing like this for the whole 1 week. Tbh if you melee wield you really need con. Or maybe 100 of it for the bonus. 150 bonus is good too and i die alot less in Outpost rush.
sharge for moving fast is a most in my opionion helps with farming and for berserk if they nerf it more its not that op and not for pvp if it was not for hatched some zones are unbplayable with out it and meny people run solo for farming hope ther smart and dont shange it more they lsot to meny player already
Idk what I want to play!!! I'm currently trying out your musketeer build. But now since I'm a solo player I'm getting stuck on certain areas. I like the thought of this build and the musket build. How worth it is it to keep respecing after level 20?
It really doesn't cost that much to respec when ur fresh out of level 20 so like levels 21-30 and I can't speak for above and beyond since im only 32 myself :P so yeah go crazy with respecs if you want
Is the 250 str bug still exist? If it so it makes everything pointless for me. I love my 300 str build but in that case i am gonna reroll to some other builds i might like
@@Fextralife i personally twsted it and yeah 250 perk literally prevents you to dodge cancel skills like you should normally be able to and it makes you have to wait all along for the skills full animation
There is also an up or down arrow beside the damage numbers showing if your doing extra damage or less damage against something base off of weapon damage type.
on level 60 what do you recommend playing light,middle or heavy armor cause i play light one and and got massiv problems getting killed very quick in the 60 regions
I am only lvl 42 (so take my advice for what it is worth) but I rock the 22.9 weight category which keeps me in medium. Still able to dodge and some good survivability. I find this is good for me in PVP as I like to be fairly mobile but also need some survivability as the build is going to take some damage being a melee toon. Here is what I wear to be at the top of the medium armour at 22.9 weight: Head - Heavy Chest - Heavy Gloves - Medium Panties - Light Boots - Medium
I have been running light armor for maneuverability. But, I can go down fast if I haven't prepped well. In an Expedition or a Blight attack I would really look at Med to heavy. It really depends on your ability to hit the right buttons and timing.
If you're not using great axe/hatchet, you basically lose 99% of the time against someone that is. It's not even a close comparison to other weapon builds. It takes very little skill and you are rewarded for just running straight at someone. The game is not balanced. And PvP is not fun for anyone that doesn't want to be a meta slave. If they don't fix this, people are just going to stop wanting to play the game.
Yeah, this is why I don't like NW just yet. Too much pigeon holing when it comes to weapon choices. Hachet, looks great, can I use it with a shield? Nope, grab a sword. Can I use a spear with a shield, like pretty much every combat soldier or warrior of almost ANY civilization, nope, spear is just 2 handed, yeah IF this game ever opens up their choices, I might grab it, until then, enjoy
Yeh, was a bit let down when i couldnt put my spear/shield together :/ I reckon Hatchet should be a duel wield too, i mean, its a puny looking weapon, the dmg it puts out and its quick attacks would better suit one in each hand.

What attributes do you used? The same as the video?
@@Viperzin Bit different, 250 Strength and the rest in Constitution

@Ryan Hammer instead axe?

This build just makes you feel bad ass too, if you were on the fence about your build then try this out and have some fun.

What you think about hatchet and life staff build??

At 2:19 min i wish i could see what you have selected there for talents :D
Hatchet and Warhammer work good also
If he can pvp with 200+ ping you know this build is lit

What is the reason behind using infected throw as a 4th skill, which can't be use as far as I am aware?
yeah i need clarification on that too
Oh I see thank!
@@shon_rad so Infected Throw would be for pve and you would sub out Raging Torrent???
Is heavy armor still viable? I see everyone with light
is the 250-strength bug fixed now?
You said "Use Maelstrom on enemies caught in Gravity Well" but the build you have linked and included in the video doesn't have Maelstrom selected?
Swap out charge for pve.
Any plans on making a sword&board + fire staff build?
Is this build still suitable after the patch?
Is this hatchet build viable for healers? I was going to put a Amber gem in my hatchet , but should I go with a different gem?
ahh the drool on keyboard build
What is the song at the end?
What is your experience with Reaper and the collector talent, I was reading its causing reap to be broken and do no damage ?
Is the 250 str bug still exist? If it so it makes everything pointless for me. I love my 300 str build but in that case i am gonna reroll to some other builds i might like
As far as I know.
@@Fextralife i personally twsted it and yeah 250 perk literally prevents you to dodge cancel skills like you should normally be able to and it makes you have to wait all along for the skills full animation
So you can choose to either animation cancel Berserk with Block right-click, or animation cancel attacking/dodging with Throw right-click...
How do you know if the enemies have resistance against a specific thing ?
blue damage is resistant, orange is crit and yellow is effective
There is also an up or down arrow beside the damage numbers showing if your doing extra damage or less damage against something base off of weapon damage type.
i play and love it too
does the bug of getting more than 250 str fixed?
would love to know if you can play hatchet with full dexterity maybe with a spear as secondary
I do and i main the spear, its fucking insane
Is there a particular reason why you don't use execute in pve? Just curious.
what does "Empower" when u get it from crit
on level 60 what do you recommend playing light,middle or heavy armor cause i play light one and and got massiv problems getting killed very quick in the 60 regions
I am only lvl 42 (so take my advice for what it is worth) but I rock the 22.9 weight category which keeps me in medium. Still able to dodge and some good survivability. I find this is good for me in PVP as I like to be fairly mobile but also need some survivability as the build is going to take some damage being a melee toon. Here is what I wear to be at the top of the medium armour at 22.9 weight:
Head - Heavy
Chest - Heavy
Gloves - Medium
Panties - Light
Boots - Medium
Heavy, hands down.
@@Fextralife lol thanks for making it clear I wasn’t sure about going heavy med or light. I’ll go get my heavy set oh god I’m going to be tanks lol
Is the 250 STR still bugged?
How come you don't ever do a full build with all 20 points for the weapons? Even if some of them are optional based on what you're focusing on.
because they are for core must haves for the build the rest would be at your playstyle. This is an assumption.
Is it better to run this build with light or medium gear if I wanna use this mainly for PVE?
It's a personal choice, but I lean more to the protection side of things.
I have been running light armor for maneuverability. But, I can go down fast if I haven't prepped well. In an Expedition or a Blight attack I would really look at Med to heavy. It really depends on your ability to hit the right buttons and timing.
Is the 250 str bug still in game?
Do you recommend going full heavy armor or just enough to be in the heavy catergory
if your gonna be in the heavy category you might as well go full heavy
i play Warhammer/Great axe , Warhammer for me have like 35% more dps
does defy death only work if you have hatchet out, or will it still work when axe is out and active as well?
Only works when you die with the hatchet out.
What type of enemies resist slash dmg ?
Skellies
pls do paladin
50 con? thats so squishy
spear and bow are the best atm
Not even close
Is this before or after that shit hatchet got nerfed
just fyi this build is so wrong
How so? Rather than state that add your opinion on what's best. Varies amongst play styles.
If you're not using great axe/hatchet, you basically lose 99% of the time against someone that is. It's not even a close comparison to other weapon builds. It takes very little skill and you are rewarded for just running straight at someone. The game is not balanced. And PvP is not fun for anyone that doesn't want to be a meta slave. If they don't fix this, people are just going to stop wanting to play the game.
This build is legitimately broken. Don't feel good for using it. I am saying that with pure malice too. You should feel bad.
really someone need build guide for easy game like nw 😂😂
Yeah, this is why I don't like NW just yet. Too much pigeon holing when it comes to weapon choices. Hachet, looks great, can I use it with a shield? Nope, grab a sword. Can I use a spear with a shield, like pretty much every combat soldier or warrior of almost ANY civilization, nope, spear is just 2 handed, yeah IF this game ever opens up their choices, I might grab it, until then, enjoy
Its really confusing what the point of one handed weapons is if only one weapon can be used with a shield in the offhand.
Yeh, was a bit let down when i couldnt put my spear/shield together :/
I reckon Hatchet should be a duel wield too, i mean, its a puny looking weapon, the dmg it puts out and its quick attacks would better suit one in each hand.
Why would anyone play this crap lol. Nothing new here. Game dead in a month, 100%.
Yet here you are commenting. Nice try troll
