Fire staff needs nerf

No

i agree but i only think flame thrower needs big nerf there are just bunch of flame thrower dudes standing on the point destroying everything

you wanna know why fire staff is OP?

bc 99% of Fire Staff users have ice gauntlet, so when you use entomb and you have champions amulet, you actually stack up empower from shirking empower from any hit on your tomb.

so basically you get out of Entomb with 16% empower (10sec) everytime

but people still talking about meteor shower exploit, while the only bug there is, that the duartion refreshes from burn ticks caused by crits from initial meteor shower hits.

like in a medium to large scale fight, when meteor shower has like 9-13 seconds cooldown if you hit some heavy attacks you’d have empower up most of the time anyway, so that’s not even a big deal.

also it makes you only have 2 viable abilities in 1v1 or spread out skirmishes, so that’s a big trade off you have to take to be powerful in large scale fights, where you can the empower stacks going and deal crucual dmg to groups and burst out single targets, which you should be able to do as a mage?

so i think overall it’s pretty balanced.

Sometimes I really think people are out of their mind. If fire staff is so broken, why is there not a single fire staff player in wars? Please stop suggesting bs.

I don’t think it’s OP; FS has low weapon dmg but the problem is that everyone wear Shadewalker sets with low elemental resistance then crying here about fire staff dmg :smiley:

actually firestaves are slotted pretty frequently in wars now, maybe not as frequent as IG VG, but still more frequent than before.

Dude just play another game, for the love of the New World itself.
You ONLY and i say ONLY ask for nerfs. Is there a weapon you like and do not want to see nerfed or you are playing with your naked fists?

geeeezzz stop the cap mate. :rofl:

couldn’t write it better…

didnt know the empowered bug from entombed and champion amulett tho…

30% empower from meteor shower and 51% extra dmg from fireball when on staff doesnt help either.

58% fireball Dmg on a Staff, ye thats 30% Empowered then if u have Empowered Meteor Shower on ur Weapon ( u maybe wanna take a look at Spear then, check how much Empowered and Fortify they have… lol ) oh and then the Buff disappears, if u swap to second weapon

Fs just has 1.340 Atk, when using 410 Int

and honestly, i would never rely on just, good player just iframe it

Grav Wells also do the same thing at the moment, difference is the G.W burst and effectiveness was nerfed and now that fireball perk on the weapon is stronger now and everyone on the server that uses firestaff literally has one at the minimum, every OPR its a flurry of arrows and 15 odd mages throwing ice abilities to slow you and throwing fireballs at you then flame throwing you.

ah, thanks, I was wrong about the numbers I guess. But currently Im pretty sure the empowered meteor shower buff stays, might DEF be wrong since I dont use fire staff often.

na, if u have the perk on ur weapon ( which is a waste… ) u loose it, when swapping to ur second weapon.

if that perk is on an armor piece ( 20% at 10 stacks ) it stays when swapping

since it does what it should, gives u empoweredment buff, after hitting meteor shower.

ah I see, thanks

Because he is probably Clown tier and dies to everything no matter what. Bet.

OP is a troll plain and simple. They call for one of the lowest damaging weapons to be nerfed. Meanwhile people running around on other weapons doing this… (47) Blunderbuss / Spear ONE SHOT Build | New World PvP Montage 5 (Summer Update) - YouTube Which is completely fine for people like the OP.

YIKES is all I have to say about this.

This is basically why this game style in general has always failed. Noone has pulled it off. Not GW almost 20 years ago, not Elder Scrolls, and certainly not NW. It’s impossible to balance. PvP in a PvE world

Don’t stand in the fire.
