New World: Healer AND High DPS build. (Alodar's Front Line Cleric Spec).

- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- After having so many requests from viewers who have seen me play my build in game I've come out with a video explaining how I'm able to have a top healer also do so much damage with the option of also fighting on the front lines in large battles. HIGH Survivability, great for leveling and end game.
This is Alodar's New World Healer build, first developed in New World Beta and played on stream. New World is an upcoming 2021 MMORPG set in the world of Aeternum and designed by Amazon Game studios. The video shows gameplay footage so Alodar can show the viewer how the healer build performs using his spec.

What a clear, calm explanation on how this works. Very straight forward and I like that. Great video. Subbed!
Thank you sir! Glad you enjoyed the video.
@@alodar can you give us an update based off the patch notes and open beta tests
I was so concerned that going healer so I could always find a party would mean forsaking my ability to do literally anything else. Thank you for showing me otherwise in a step by step way.
Glad I could help!
I saw those effects on the gems but didn't quite realize what they did. having them scale to focus is amazing!! this is exactly what i've been missing
Oh god this is so fantastic I could hug you. SO MANY possible builds!
Thanks for this! I've wanted to be a support but was worried Id never be able to level myself, love it.
Glad to help!
unfortunate ist misinformed info. The stats do NOT convert to focus, only a max of 30% using a tier 3 gem will convert to < element> dmg. thus if a axe does 100 dmg it will do 70 base dmg adn 30 < element> dmg. the actual dmg scaling from focus based atribute points does NOThing. STR will increase base dmg.. focus will not and thus will also not increase < element> gem dmg. as a secondary weapon you can level with anyting , even if you use zero atribute points toward that weapon you can level just fine with it. but late game trials/dungeons,pvp .. you be disapointed..
For a healer dmg output will always be low, you pick a weapon based on its utility not its Direct dmg output. not untill they add a actual focus based "dmg" weapon.
I fell into this build naturally after playing for a week, I'm glad I found your video! It's going to help me optimize a lot!
I was always concerned about Life Staff and healing being unavailable. As I vastly prefer a rapier for a close in weapon, it is nice to be able to keep a spot on the ground to regen with while I treat the monsters like a pincushion. Thanks to you, I can do both and not worry. The Amber gem is just what I was looking for as a solution.
👍👍💯
Glad I could help.
man i got stuck with being the healer in my group and was hating it. you just turned that around. thanks you so much
Just wanted to say you’re a very kind person and thank you for all the advice in this video, it opened a whole new world for me 😂
This is the first time when(not listening to music) I needed to change the video speed back to 1x. Think I'll subscribe, you have good theory crafting and you solved one of my main problems! Thanks!
haha, I've had to use the old 1.25 or even 1.5 trick a few times myself!
I've been running life staff and ice gauntlet, but was disappointed in the ice gauntlet's damage. I had no idea the amber gem would make it scale off something different. Great video and thanks for explaining everything!
Thanks. I skipped the beta so this info is super helpful . Saves video for when I play .
Thank you so much. I wasn't really sure what those tool tips meant and you explained it clearly and simply. Subbed!
its hard to find people that understand the game so well so quickly, ill be able to lvl as healer on launch now thanks to this video. w/o knowing the exact gem and how it all really works i wouldve been stuck lvling as something else or making weird compromises
Thank you for your video. It really got me thinking as I will be a healer when the games releases.
Glad I could help!
One point of clarification about the gem: only the Nature Damage portion scales off of Focus. It's still definitely a must have, but it doesn't make the weapon's base damage scale off of Focus.
That makes this less appealing. I want to try run a melee tank/healer hybrid, first war on our server tomorrow
@@Flecco It's still a great gem choice; the best in fact. If you watch your numbers, your damage will show up in two ways. There is the base melee portion, and then the additional nature portion. The nature portion is usually 100-300 for me at level 36.
Yeah I respeccd and am committing to it, just hoping to find some good heavy gear before the war. Finding the spear still does more damage than the staff, not sure I'll be able to slot it before the war, only 27 currently
Excellent vid, thanks mate! I'm going great axe/life staff so your tip about the amber gem is music to my ears 💖
Glad to help
Aa a
I knew little abut this game and learned so much with your video. Thank you. I will make sure to level all weapons so I can be versatile.
Have fun! That's going to take some time!
Huge info! Have been hesitant to fully to commit to healer but this makes it much easier. Thanks.
I did this very thing with the Hatchet. Great for leveling especially. I can easily grab 8-10 enemies 5 levels above me and burn them down with stupid fast.
Yes , hatchet felt so much better for PvE than greataxe with this build. Especially because of berserk with its uninterrupted attacks.
Whats the cooldown on Berserk then (and at how many points in Focus)? Also i considered doing it the other way around (making Life staff scale with strength), has anyone tried that yet?
@@Andreas-fn8mo there is no gem for scaling strength, only int and focus. Berserk has a 15 sec cooldown, but doesn't start until it wears off. Hatchet is stupid OP for pve.
@@endynegaming2406 So as a melee heavy armor class, there's no useful gems to use????
@@Viettzz not true, there are all kinds of different gems. Just none that will convert damage types except the focus and int ones. You can still use them if you build str, it will give you void/arcane/nature damage, but won't change your mainstat for the weapon.
Subscribed. This is the exact build i am using on this closed beta, BUT i didnt know about the cut amber on focus dmg omg. Thanks for sharing.
No problem! Good luck with your character!
Well I am obligated to drop a like and a subscribe. What a great, short and sweet video that is super clear.
Pretty good explanation, I like the way you made the video and the content, it´s easy to understand and to follow. Leaving a Subscription and hope you will make more New World Content.
Thank you very much sir. I am really enjoying the game and am planning on several more videos.
Same here. I'm so cozy with Force's channel that I usually ignore everyone else... but Force stays higher-level in the news and doesn't get nitty gritty like this. This is great! And Alodar isn't the worst looking guy to look at ;)
Thanks for the great video Alodar.
Clean and concisely explained. very well done thank you
Really good guide man. Liked, subbed, shared. Keep showing me how to make good guides!
Cant wait to try this out as I lvl my healer! Thanks for the info and a thumps up and a happy new sub
Thanks for the sub!
Great video! I’m brand new to mmo but loving the the NW beta. I run a hatchet and life staff, There’s so much to learn and keep up with but this vid helped. Subbed 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
I did this build just today but this video will help me alot too!
nice video! Please keep the New World staff coming :)
Thank you for watching!
going to be trying this build out once i get a gem and my faction armor, seems like a fun way to play when you have a group to play with
Excellent. No filler - all killer :)
omg :E Thank you! I like to heal but my second weapon was so useless, definitely tired of only clicks to kill. Now I will pick a weapon :3
thank you , nice straight to the point
Life Staff and Ice Gauntlet for me and I am actually putting few points into Int because first 2 pips give 10% extra Magic Dmg and then Crit Dmg. So it increases the base of both if I need them. But I am mostly a crafter/gather and do not pvp much - however in PVE I am pretty survivable and quick.
Just want to say you got one thing wrong about the "stat change gem" and how it works.
It DOES NOT make all the weapons damage scale off of the stat in the gem, in this case FOC. What it actually does is scale the damage that has been converted to the new type, again using the example in the video the FOC would only apply to the 30% converted damage. At higher tiers these types of gems will be more valuable due to a higher converted damage % but the lower tier ones are dreadful unless paired with the correct weapons.
So yes you are getting more damage out of your axe with the gem, just don't go giving people the wrong infomation.
important point here
There is no point at the moment to use any gem higher than 20% conversion due to how it works right now, I tried between 20-30, the total damage becomes the same no matter what % of the gem you have, as long as you have the same amount of focus, having a weapon that does 150 physical 100 nature damage, and one that does 100physical 150 nature damage doesn't matter, the damage added from focus scaling doesn't become more on the 150 nature weapon, it seems to just be a flat added damage ontop.
The only reason to go for a 50% conversion gem, is if theres a benefit of having that elemental weapon be used on something with a weakness towards it. Players tend to have equal damage resistances so it wont matter in pvp.
if someone goes full Str or dex build he will outperform you in terms of damage by quite a lot, but a focus build in heavy armor and con will do "enough" damage especially if they use greataxe since that weapon is borked with the heavy attack glitch, and will outlast them, if allowed to fight inside the healing bubble especially.
@@Maglouk The gems conversion were bugged in beta. Expect the percentages to work properly for launch 😉
@Tibbles
Your comment is undervalued in this thread.
I see too many content creators saying what this fella is saying...its ridiculous. How these gems work is right there in the tool tip. And its very likely that his GA has higher dmg than his focus stat...the ele dmg he's outputting is actually 20-50% of his weapon dmg.
@@brassbat That makes sense. I was so confused lol. So in the video you can see he has 136 focus and his base axe damage was 133. So he's only getting an extra 3 damage advantage? I mean if that's the case you might as well slot another gem like Opportunist or something until your FOC overtakes your base weapon damage by a more significant amount. Am I understanding this all correctly? I don't know lol.
Thanks a lot for this eye opener!
I also figured this out but I don’t stream videos thank you for posting and I’m subbing to watch more.. 👍
if you dont have 5 min the TL;DR is put your points into focus to heal yourself then attack with a axe gemmed to use focus
Not to mention the normal attack animation cancels with beacon and Orb of protection feel really good and do good damage right now for me at least.
I think scaling part is only affecting converted damage not all damage from a weapon. thus 20-50% of your damage depending on gem tier is going to scale off of INT/FOC.
This makes a huge difference, can someone confirm?
@@daviddudas5392 this is 100%. to add: amber gem (focus) has been nerfed, to give less damage from focus.
@@RAMiNQULUZADE that is sad. I was happy that I can actually play healer and have fun, but looks like then yet another boring healbot game.
You'r clear, give uselfull advices, tks man !
It will be interesting to see how this style plays out at high levels. I've been messing around with a life staff focus build and really like backbar War Hammer and backbar Fire Staff, both of them feel pretty good so far (level 25). I haven't tried the axe build yet. I'm half tempted just to focus (heh, not an intended pun, but I'm keeping it!) on the lifestaff and just grind it straight to 20 first. The kill speed doesn't feel too much slower than the other weapons I've tried out, though I have yet to get high enough to equip decent amber gems and they could significantly change things up.
I expect it will drop behind quite fast at higher levels, the amount of perks others get from the attributes alone will stack up against you. Maybe the fire or ice Focus builds can have something special with the added mana perks from Focus but obviously that removes mana that could have been used to heal.
@@JesperHasteen Drop off in what? It's a healer first and foremost. In PVP you'd just swap in more points into CON and swap to heavy armour. There are people that are level 60 saying it works very well in large battles because of how tanky it is, specifically with the healing it provides.
@@alodar oh yea for sure, I meant the damage part
I use life staff primary and shord and shield secondary all my points on focus and with amber gem I do lots of dmg with my shord and shield and have good protection too
Running the same thing! Got no problem in pve and 2v1 in pvp no problem
the gems that convert damage were nerfed.
@@Beeftitan nerfed how much? I did a quick try yesterday but I haven't finished the build and was let's say acceptable for it being incomplete (not having int based apparel yet) I'm lvl 29 rn
@@legoblast4448 20% it's in the patch notes
short, useful and easy... big up
Thank you! Glad it was able to help!
Thanks for this!
ohh thanks now the amber thing makes sense to me. i will use this!
well deserved sub. Thanks for this helpfull content!
Would love to see what your build's gonna look like when your done. " subscribed" 😉
This was a really good explanation video, i was wondering since yesterday (i just started yesterday) how was people with Warhammer and other weapons with a Heal staff since heal staff is focus and other weapon are str dex etc, cause i kinda think heal staff for a pve build to get you through content more sustain is good ideia, im using Spear bow and man im squishy and weak has hell, i can do dmg but i get wrecked easily, soim kinda looking for a safe build that lets be dps and keep myself alive and can use it for other activities.
Thanks for the opinion ! Great vid.
Subed for more builds👍. Cheers mate
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed this video!
Exactly what I was running on beta
Was a very fun build. We'll have to see what changes they are making before launch to see. Meta will always be changing.
Nice! One of the few stats in the game can become a different stat
Exactly what I needed to know to have a primary healer with bow for ranged dps - many thanks
Great video man!
Great video! JC is a great way to really change up your builds. I think there's going to be a lot of neat JC/infused crafting gear/setups.
It's a interesting build for sure, I may give it a go sometime.
Awesome video man! Really nice, will roll healer after watching this!
Btw, could you make a video how to craft the gems for the weapons? Seems nobody acually really can explain it good for a new player lol :P Cheers!
There are different tiers of gems that take different levels of jewel crafting. You do jewel crafting through stone cutting tables.
Flawed Gems (Flawed Amber) are the lowest level and require 0 skill rating. Regular Gems (aka Amber) require 50 skill rating.
The recipe is Amber + 2x Earth Wisp + Solvent.
Or just buy Cut Amber on the trading post (was 200 gold on my server)
The low level gems are trivial, you just need the flawed gem itself, and and some appropriate elemental motes, and can cut them into socketable gems at the starting tier stonemason's table. Higher level gems need higher tier stonemason's table, and higher tier motes, so will not be available until people take territory are start upgrading the trade skill facilities, worse, workshops are probably higher priority (improved gathering tools, muskets, and bows), and making higher tier motes requires upgraded arcane facilities
@@Lantalia yea its the motes that are the problem... Ive got several hundred silver bars and 10+ of many uncut gems, but have never found a single mote.
@@Debbiebabe69 They come from harvesting the various elemental plants, and mining the various elemental ore nodes
@@Lantalia thats what I guessed, but never managed to find any of these plants/nodes.
Unfortunately this is not entirely correct. The gems do not swap the weapon scaling of the weapon over all. So you don't change a Great Axe from scaling off for Strength to scaling off of Focus. What does scale is the Nature Damage this offers. So, the nature portion of the damage will scale off of either Focus or Strength. Now, when you do 50%(Best Amber) this is still good. But this will NOT scale your weapon entirely off of Focus. If you want to do damage with this, you need to invest talents that will boost weapon damage, such as empower, armor pen, etc.
I've been waiting for a frontline healer.
I want to use a rapier and heal staff cause I'm a "healer" in ESO and I think its hilarious when someone picks on you and you turn and burn them.
youre still going to be a subpar damage dealer. you wont be "burning" anyone. The biggest PRO of alodars build is having the flexibility to deal DPS and Heal. Which means you have a ton of sustain for PvP and PvE, Rapier is a terrible weapon to pair up with the heal staff imo
not to put another content creators stuff in this video but heres a guy who runs an insane tank/healer build. lvl 60 ruclips.net/video/uZo85NRspTk/видео.html&ab_channel=SerMedieval
Thanks! Brilliant
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!
i recommend this build but instead of the axe, use a hatchet with berserk. berserk heals every 5 seconds and combining that with the sacred ground ability is huge. (it boosts all healing by 50% including berserk healing)
Hatchet is better. But greataxe has a way more fun moveset. Charge - reap - execute combo is extremely fun or Gravity well - charge - execute. Plus the Greataxe looks way more Badass. :)
Not to mention that when you reach 200 focus, you will have a 20% increase to all buff durations, making your berserk last 18 seconds and heal 1 extra tick. Though if you want to go heavy on damage, something like the rapier might do very well since it's cooldowns are so low that in a PvE situation, it's virtually pointless to swtich to a secondary weapon.
The best part about the build though is that you can use just about any combination of weapons in the entire game, you don't even necessarily need to use the lifestaff at all times and at worst you're still only losing 10-15% DPS while having great healing capabilities assuming you're at endgame with a T5 gem.
sad part you cant do it to hatchet. Game does not allow me to put that gem into Hatchet.
@@Svensky You can do it with hatchet. You likely have an effect on your hatchet such as the elememtal damage that bounces between targets which stops you from putting the gem in.
@@hampustornros Yea might be. So perks decide you to add some gems or not thanks for the info.
Just did a respec to this
Figured I'm in beta so I may as well mess around
How was it? I really wanna use life staff and a war hammer (Kinda like a paladin build) but concerned about leveling without decent damage output.
@@LemonMan91 it worked out pretty well
There's so were so many players around that I was fighting for tags more then anything. Lol
Would love to see a gem that let your weapon damage scale with constitution. Create a tank healer ^-^
Need Carnelian gem to tank, so that would never be possible, unless holding aggro isn't important to you, in which case just go Sword/Shield with Amber gem and run this spec, self-sustain is effectively the same thing as having a high HP pool.
@@IntegrityGames throw it on the shield lol. Or switch the focus stat on the healing stick to con and swap off sword and board. I am surprised we don't have multi gem slot gear yet too. We need all these theoretical things.
I love this guide, looking forward to more! thank you
Great vids thank you
Thanks for watching!
Omg why did i not know about Amber!!! Time to go respec.... cya later
Checked this cause it's a build I've ran for most of my playtime. Personally I don't think amber gems are the way to go. It works, but I can tell you without any gems that I'm around your level and have 307 life staff damage and 450 Great Axe damage. ^^
Im using his build also. Why your damage so high?
very nice guide!
Thanks for watching!
thanks a lot bro!
Thanks for watching!
Doing any other builds? Great explanation of the healing and focus attributes.
I will be doing other builds once the game launches.
Nice vid, thumbs up!
Would you still stack focus right off the bat with a fresh made character ? I tried the dps/buff of life staff and loved it! Only concern is where to put stats in the beginning? Either stacking focus or a little constitution?
Keep up the amazing work friend!
Can't really stack focus until you get to level 15 and start getting your faction pieces, but I would start doing it right then.
Just tested it. Seems like only the converted part of the damage scales with focus and it doesn´t show in the Attributes window either
Yes.
Yeah, the gem says 30% is converted to nature and it scales off focus
You don't see this in Attribute window but in weapon details. 20-30-50% (top tier) of the damage converted, and this damage scale with focus, it's pretty easy, just test it ;) There is gem for Focus and Int attribute
with dimishing returns at endgame with focus or intbased builds.. your weapon with best 50% gem.. will do around 13-15% less damage than being for example full str or dex
@@sortofsounds1877 feels kindda ok tho
Great video man
Thank you! Glad it was useful for you!
Another point is choosing Gems that deal additional damage against certain mobs. In the instance of Lost Souls, Amber rocks socks cuz it deals Nature damage. I find that just farming a whole group of mobs with this type of build is just ez.
I still prefer my dex/con Bow/hatchet build. With Onix jewel.
With bow I always hit the monster down before they reach me. And for small lower level packs, I use hatchet to kill it. also the mobility of hatchet + bow gives you the edge of finishing quests faster. Moving faster from monster to monester and chest to chest.
Great video
Been looking for just this. Super excited to heal now.
EDIT: With the gem.. does ALL damage scale of of focus, or just the percentage damage converted to Nature (or w/e)?
Just a heads up: if your weapon already has an element due to perk Chain X, like Chain Lightning, you WON'T be able to add another element to it besides the one that already exists (Lightning in the given example). So what it means is you won't be able to use a Focus gem (it is only nature) on weapons that have the perk Chain X, unless there is a Chain Nature which I am not aware of.
Ran into this after binding a blue axe to myself; fortunately learning it in beta instead of launch!
This might explain why someone in his twitch chat told him they tried it with some weapon (i think hatchet) and it didnt get the bonus from focus when they put the amber gem in. If that negates the gem entirely that is.
There is a Chain Nature perk, in fact there is Chain "ELEMENT_NAME" for all elements: Void, Arcane, Fire, Ice, Nature, Lightning.
I have an amber slotted in my chain nature gaxe and it’s awesome
@@Angelalansberru so then we can put elements on a weapon that already has a chain element on it?
Would be nice if you were showing this build fighting mobs higher level then you and elites. Fighting things that are 2-3 levels below you doesn't showcase anything at all, on top of fighting just one at a time. Example: During Beta I was running a tank/healer, commonly called a Paladin build, with nearly all points into Con (to 250) and then the rest in Focus, using Sword & Board with Healing Staff. The only stats in Str were from gear. Even at low level I could take on about 6 mobs that were all 5-6 levels above me and take them down fairly quickly and walk away at half health or more every time. I could solo Elite mobs that were 2 levels above me just fine.
This build looks like it could be a good healer with some support but not much in the way of clearing large groups of mobs solo, at least it wasn't shown to be able to handle it and seeing the damage you were taking from mobs lower level then you I kinda doubt it. My build is very tanky and is certainly a good tank, with useful heals to support the group and mainly help take healing pressure off of the main healer because I can hold my own for most encounters.
This is what makes this game great currently, it really does pretty well at allowing people to tweak their builds just enough to scratch that itch.
hope ppl will fallow this and i can see how they die under 3 mobs :)) but Havey armor is good for all !
Damn this Video is very good. Gotta subscribe I guess
Thank you for the support!
One question, why can't I run a full focus build with two DPS weapons utilizing amber gems? Then my only handicap to a "full dps" character are attribute boosts
Great idea, definitely gonna try this when I get home. What abilities did you go for on your staff ?
depends what you wanna do. personally i use beacon and orb of protection because they shoot an instant higher damage projectile. So you do a heavy attack then shoot orb/beacon for bonus damage and heals. Sacred ground is a must have no matter what build imo. Its healing is insane and big enough to easily dodge attacks while staying inside the healing radius. This build is not good for healing individual teammates that are in trouble however. Pair this heavy focus/constitution armor and you are damn near fucking unkillable in 1v1s
Love this video, English is not my mother tongue but I can understand exactly what you say in the video. The question is can I play sword&shield with life staff using this exact trick to be a paladin? xD.
ruclips.net/video/uZo85NRspTk/видео.html
Yes! That's exactly how it works =)
@@jessejames9842 thanks Jesse :)
@@alext3917 thanks Alex :)
For PvE the hatchet and berserker is probably the best since damage scales with more mobs near and you can’t be CCed plus it heals you
what is CC stands for?
@@kickazzdrummer666 Crowd Control
This video is good, but is a little misleading - the gem only makes your damage scale for the portion that's converted to FOC... so like 30% of it. You're not doing a whole lot more damage than you would be spamming your Life Staff.
If you want some genuine better results as a solo healer, carry around +Str or +Dex or +Int (depending on your off weapon) Jewelry. Practically weightless and you can switch to them in situations where you're soloing.
many thanks
How viable was this build in open BETA? I like the thought that went into the build! Great stuff!
I will adapt this build into my playstyle. So I will level con more to get the level 50 bonus, play the warhammer second cause it's got tons of cc and still deals good damage. Just like that I am basically a tank, that can counter heal and still deal acceptable damage to bosses in expeditions
I ran life staff and hammer for a few days during beta. It’s super fun. If you ever pvp I wouldn’t recommend it. The hammer attacks are slow and predictable. People dodge all of them 🤣😭
@@tridentnova9303 Will second the "attacks are slow and predictable" and thus are really bad for PvP as players will dodge reliably. Same issue Spear has; you can never land your attacks and are getting slapped three times for every hit you attempt. Great Axe doesn't suffer as much because Great Axe attacks have pull effects or come with a charge effect to close the gap.
To be honest with great axe you don't need another weapon to dps, just left to right heavy attack while skills are on cooldown...
I never thought to use the amber gem lmao now i can solo things
very good video thanks
Very useful.
nice video but can u show maybe ur skills for the lifestaff
Bruh you are the closest person on TY to figuring out my build
@Alodar So are you deliberately not showing off the greataxe "cleave" bug here that makes it 2x stronger than what we see in this video or do you just legitimately not know what it is?
I deliberately didn't show the bug IN the video because it will be getting fixed. I could have used examples of the bug to make the damage look even more impressive, but I didn't.
Just so everyone knows, hes showing the wrong gem. that will only upgrade a LVL II weapon. you need to the next gem up for a LvL III weapon. i just spent 1500 to find out :(. Great video tho.
same name of the gem? that gem says tier III on it?
Yeah it says Tier 3. So tier 3 amber get can only go on tier 2 weapons??
look up the gem in game and read its description. its only good for tier 2 weapons and armor.
@@laggyx1000 Correct. youll need a tier 4 amber to go on tier 3 weapons.
I have been running Hatchet, but have yet to be able to apply a cut amber gem to it.. I can put it in an Great axe, bow, basically eveything.
Certain weapon perks will not allow you to gem for nature.
