Double fire staff swap macro drastically increases attack speed

  • What is your character name in New World:
    Vargrift
  • What server/world did you experience your issue on:
    Fae, although it pertains to all servers
  • Describe the issue you are experiencing:
    People wear double fire staves to abuse fast attack speed with a weapon swap macro
  • Is this a bug or an exploit:
    Exploit
  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced:
    Wear a fire staff on each weapon slot, constantly swap weapons and fire a light attack at each swap. Put it in a macro and you’re shooting like an assault rifle.

This exploit may have the biggest impact in wars, where mages cause much more damage while their abilities are on cooldown. It sacrifices a 2nd weapon, although this attack speed and fire staff dmg exceeds that.

I’ve seen this getting used as well, even in outpost rush. Can this please get fixed/punished?
