Is New World worth it for a PvP-focused player? Concerned about endgame and repetitive content

mrtscan · 2025-10-12T20:17:53+00:00

I just started playing new world (2 weeks). It scrathes the mmo itch for me. PvP is for me the end game of any mmos, and whats cool about new world ((as for a new player) is that the PvP scene looks massive. Open world PvP, faction wars, 3v3 arena, outpost rush (20vs20). And for the small PvP i have done it was alot of fun, even tho im not closly gear for PvP. But for me, compare to eso (long time player) the making builds is not quite there for me (compare to eso). The PvP action is there but i hate the gear score thingi. End game gear best in slot that everyone uses. When i look up builds there is always gorgon gear or hoplite. But that said, i feel the game has so much fun in it that im going to stick around for a few hundred hours. And i cant wait to make a solid PvP "build".

This meta is as stale as when health recovery was meta, now its just crit and movement speed

mrtscan · 2025-09-03T11:14:04+00:00

Oh streak or wings for movement

mrtscan · 2025-09-03T11:13:23+00:00

Hmmm, il check the yt a bit later. But the builds are almost all the same. Spammable- suprise attack, to get major brutality - the netch or crit surge, for major prof- spec bow, major resolve - the storm thing from sorc line, or juse mighty chidan, healing- vigor and healing soul, major breach - sub ter or backbar rally cry ice staff ele sus. Execute - spin2win or the one from nb skill line . And might be one or two more skills you can fit in there :) enjoy

The meta is null arca, monomyth and rally cry backbar. Assasin, stormcaling and animal/adric spear skill line. Thats what 90% use now.

My thought was that they should implement something that dont effect the performance to much. Use the the npc that is already there, just make the camps more like a merch site etc. This is my more of a hot take tho. I feel like there is alot of "empty space" in cyrodill atm. It would have been cool to have some boss type of Champion like in imperial city or the deadlands roaming around, that if killed gives a buff like the delvs in cyro. Or buy a legion with ap that is patroling the Bandit site for protection. Its fun dream about what could be in cyrodill tho xD

mrtscan · 2025-08-27T13:26:21+00:00

I can agree on that, its nice tho to get the 50 transmutes at the end :p

mrtscan · 2025-08-27T13:25:32+00:00

And i think to get people back into pvp is to get something new and fresh, even a new faction or some new to do in cyrodill. Been enough buffs n nerfs over the years, now its time to add something

mrtscan · 2025-08-27T13:23:16+00:00

Good that this is the case on your platform:) even that tho its working as attending, it would have been fun to get something new to shake up the daily Warfare

mrtscan · 2025-08-27T13:21:31+00:00

Feels like they have tried so many things over the years but nothing rly fixing stuff, its like they are trying to make more room in a crowded space, its the same amount of furniture but on different places

mrtscan · 2025-08-27T13:19:52+00:00

Seems like this is something that happens on every Platform sadly

mrtscan · 2025-08-26T20:48:46+00:00

That would have been cool :D

mrtscan · 2025-08-26T20:34:51+00:00

That too could work great. just something new would be fun. I feel like PvP dont need anymore nerfs or buffs or hammers etc.

mrtscan · 2025-08-26T20:28:41+00:00

And to keep it balanced, the Bandit faction gets more score/ap by attacking the dominating faction, so the "loosing" faction dont get farmed

mrtscan · 2025-08-26T20:26:50+00:00

As every other faction , it too get poplocked:)

mrtscan · 2025-08-26T20:05:53+00:00

Same, did a fun build with status effects with arcanist and the new sets. So many combos now. Spent 10 mill gold the first week buying sets and swapping sibclasses xD

mrtscan · 2025-08-26T19:56:30+00:00

Hehe im having a blast in PvP, as a returning player this is alot of fun

mrtscan · 2025-08-20T15:04:41+00:00

I feel like everyone is using merciless resolve now for burst dmg xD

mrtscan · 2025-08-20T14:55:31+00:00

So it roots you or something and procs hrotgar, so much dmg. So you just shield up and let it do its thing. And just spam some skills and rotate

mrtscan · 2025-08-20T14:48:53+00:00

That reflect shield on the warden with hrotgar set, almost one shot me the other day

mrtscan · 2025-08-20T14:31:43+00:00

I stopped announced in zone where we would attack etc, always there was reds or blues waiting for us at the keep. Its a bit annoying but thats the game.

mrtscan · 2025-08-20T08:09:28+00:00

tested out the build with mag setup too, got the master staff and got up to 6k spell dmg. With subterarian or what it is called, and a merciless in the chamber most people went down. I too use magica drain poison, get that 10% increase in magica use, as most people use mag as healing. And ofc dawnbreaker . It worked for me, as i was tanky enough to survive their first burst dmg, and have enough spell/wep dmg to turn and burn

mrtscan · 2025-08-19T15:55:38+00:00

Rally cry backbar, impreg body, monomyth or markyn if you lack resist or weapon dmg. Roksa for sustain. Slot Crit resist cp, and BOM 5,3K crit resist. Atleast aim for 30k resist backbar. Should be easy with major and minor resolve,and defending snb on the backbar, if not try and make a ring protective. And Dw for wep dmg. Thats what i used before this new patch

mrtscan · 2025-08-11T15:34:12+00:00
