and gutting everyone’s damage mitigation is supposed to help this? Gutting all melee is supposed to help this?
I don’t care if they remove grit form 300 strength. As I said before, multiple times I have accidentally switched gear and had like 290 strength, I noticed a damage reduction due to running thwarting strikes, but gameplay wise? It wasn’t THAT much different. I got smashed with a wrecking ball when I thought I’d grit through it for the second time and realized most the time. Grit isn’t permo, that’s what you guys don’t understand. There are openings, if you aren’t good enough to find them, just say that.
I literally just replied to you explaining how a spear can make a bruiser look silly.
I asked for you to list the other counters. I know how grit works… do you know how the 300 str perks work? Do you know that str weapons get grit on a lot of abilities. No sht I’m going to sweep a gritted target like what. Come on man. There’s very small Windows to hit these dudes and they don’t have to eye Frame your sweep with that perk or any of your skills. Vault kick a joke. Like there really ain’t a counter aside from another war hammer
Yeah Obviosly there are opening but when?? I got to wait for you to not click you lmb. Plus a lot of your skills have grit. And again let’s not forget the light armor nerf that makes playing up close unbearable. But these dudes be having grit it most of the time so they don’t know lol. I ain’t talking about no strikes I’m talking about grit. That thwarting strikes perk so dumb it shouldn’t have been a thing with that 300 str perk
What do you mean a list of counters? Common sense? Game sense? For example you go 150dex or more, perfo/skewer/vault kick or perfo/sweep/vault, dance around bruisers abilities because you have much more stamina pool than he does and stun him with vault when he is in telegraph animation and THEN use sweep if you have it. One of few examples of what you can do.
Like seriously man I am not even playing Spear and I know these things. Yikes.
I am sure you will produce some hard coping reply to this which I am not gonna read so either learn or keep complaining I dont care. Have a nice day bro.
I just said vault kick is an absolute useless ability. It’s not a long stun. And up close the str utility outperforms. And I can tell you don’t play spear. Cause you know a nice long perforate animation will get you in a lot of trouble up close with a melee boy if they not sweeped. A skewer? Yeah that does so much. That ability also has awful tracking. And if I’m running skewer, perforate, and kick together I should uninstall the game. Come on man do better.

Wait, are you the same guy who was complaining about Flamethrower in TrickTrick’s thread about Firestaff rework? If so then it all makes so much sense now.
vault kick is the usual set-up for sweep into perforate, it doesn’t have to be long. It’s the go-to as a, “stop having grit,” button. I do agree though, that some of the abilities are unreliable.
That’s why you don’t ape and perforate until they’re swept.
Weakens them so you can out trade them with unerring precision and thwarting counter. (40% bonus damage)
when they throw an ability, either sweep or dodge while sustaining your own stamina with crit’s. You should I frame more than just their abilities and they can’t Grav Well OR Maelstrom without taking a sweep perforate. It’s check mate. EZ
Absolutely do you know how to read? If you read flamethrower tell me how that doesn’t need a change. But casuals man. At least we getting some change I suppose. And if you use the word copium or ask what company I’m from I already know you don’t know what you talking about lmao
The 40 percent is on the weapon. But next patch people won’t run it and run fortify on the perf. And come on skewer not that hard to dodge lmao yo please tel you didn’t suggest thwarting counter as a perk to use lmao
I call BS then. I have seen Barri rosters.
Why would I care in what compamy you play? No serious company would ever slot you if you can’t 1v1 bruiser with a spear mate. And that’s coming from someone who’s only doing small scale PvP and OPR since 2021. I was playing wars but got bored, large scale in NW is not really my thing. Not in its current form anyway.
My reading skills are good enough to conclude you need to get better at the game.
Never said I couldn’t 1v1 a bruiser Lmao. But I can tell you 300 str is ridiculous and obnoxious. It’s a blantant issue and a reason why it’s getting nerfed and people who don’t play bruiser are happy lol. I’m trying to educate you. No need to get hostile. I’m trying to tell you why it’s op. Overall it’s cancerous for the game. And there ya go it was only a matter of time. You couldn’t retain yourself and saying I can’t get slotted for a war ![]()
![]()
So if you can 1v1 a bruiser after all then what was talk about spear being bad vs bruisers above all about really? Are you trolling or bipolar? It’s a serious question because it looks like you are taking a near 180 from what you were saying earlier.
Keep in mind I am neither a bruiser nor against moving grit to con.
Easy to deduce from what you said about bruisers, spear and firestaff thus far.
They should add a rain catcher as a furnishing item so I can harvest bruiser tears.
I can hold my ground but it is an unfavorable matchup. It’s still mad annoying to pull off a sweep and they left clicking away. That’s my point I’m trying to make. For newer players that wouldn’t understand. even for a top player it’s annoying to deal with windows are small and forgiving. There’s no skill to that perk. And in 1vx it’s absolutely aids. New world is mostly large scale so most of the time you are going to have multiple people on you. Multiple melees on you you can’t play the game and you can’t get them off
But it was already explained to you that it isn’t. Spear has the advantage.
Because you need to time it right for the window where melee is not gritted or use vault kick first. It’s like talking to a wall. Are you really so dense or just arrogant?
Yeah but tell me the window when they not lmb lmao. Like I said do you have any idea how obnoxious it is to wait for that window. You don’t have all day in fights… if you’re a bruiser and you doing to flat out just a spear there’s problems… like you know about how light armor is now right? You know that a bruiser just has to hit a light attack and it’s essentially a free cc but they unaffected? And vault kick is a joke of a cc and literally last a split second… A spear does not flat out counter a melee… it will after this patch now though lmao.
Just after the dodge animation for one.
Bro seriously I would love to see some footage of your gameplay.
That split second is all you need to do the sweep and follow with perfo.
Dude a bruiser is not dodging head lmao. Plus they most likely running heavier armor. So my dmg output is far less. Oh someone said something about an extra dodge. If you use medium you get an extra dodge fun fact. Plus there are ways melees can get stam back quick so they be dodging as much as dex players lmao. I’m sure you’d love my clips now it’s just me getting chased by multiple melees and getting shot at by muskets
