It’s not for Roots, it’s for actual Stun debuff. The S&S shield bash ability and the hammer ability come to mind; there may be more. They make your character stand still and waggle around like they are drunk/unconscious.
Silence is only a PvE debuff. The Yeti in the Christmas event did it and the mutation dungeons have a curse that does it as well.
Yea I noticed that also, it makes no senses that Freedom perk not decreasing root duration. We have even less counter play vs roots because you can’t build anything to diminish his return
Freedom definately works against roots (vg scream), the tool tip is either incorrect or it’s bugged.
I don’t know how sure you are about that, i tested the perk today and it’s definetly not working at all: it doesn’t reduce the duration of VG scream, it doesn’t reduce the duration of ice shower, the slow from path of destiny or the shockwave’s stun. Freedom perk is broken and not working.
Anyone else did some testing?
Freedom perks def looks broken to me . Stay with Resîlient or Invigorated atm
freedom works with stuns and roots. It doesn’t stack though.
It should be a stackable perk, therefore it is bugged. We need clarification on root since it’s not in tooltips and having multiple freedoms perk gear doesn’t look to decrease time you are rooted
Freedom works and freedom stacks idk what u guys talking about.
Is there any proof that it doesnt stack?
I’m asking for the proof that it works on root also xD
Actually i’ve tested it this way: me and a friend of mine in the same party, one having no freedom on gear, the other with 4 pieces on, we pass throught an ice shower and we both moved at the same time, rinse and repeat for VG scream, path of destiny and shockwave. Then we tried again with 1 piece up and the other one with the same 4 pieces: no difference at all.
This isn’t the first time a tooltip in New World has been incorrect. Search “freedom” on Mechanics — MorrolanTV
Slow and stun last same for me in full void or pvp gear with 0 freedom perks
Yea , I don’t know why this guy pointing us to a fan page. We need answer from official AGS member about if root is reduced or not by this perk Edit : why would I believe a random site web over nwdb about tooltip of freedom perk ? I’ll wait for an official response , thanks you
If someone has 3+ freedom, vault kick can only lead to a light attack, riposte into splinter shot doesn’t work, you cant heavy after shockwave. It stacks
Pardon me for my rudeness sir, but wtf kind of tests were you actually doing? Because Freedom works at a very decent level against Scream.
And those items were some 500 gs trashes bought cheap for freedom test purposes, at 625 gs, 5 freedom items will be felt even harder.
It’s pretty funny and actually scary how people are debating stuff over here, clueless about how they work, or if they work, and also claiming that they actually tested it.
It’s actually very scary, because some clueless devs might actually listen to you and…they’ll use that opportunity to buff ga/warhammer even more. *Joke, but somehow true.
And freedom always worked against Scream, i tested it before the february patch, and it was working at that time too.
So tell me, how did you actually test it?
Why is forum full of people so clueless that don’t test themselves things that seem pretty important to them, so important as to debate them so deep into their own ignorance?
It’s amazing, this forum feels like watching a documentary of cavemen mixed with people who don’t care at all about game balance, but only have their weapon be the strongest in the game, at any cost, even if it means exploiting it and ruining everyone else’s fun.
Any chance freedom only stacks on items with different GS?
Maybe people were using 4/5x 600 gs freedom items and thus not noticing a 7.5% reduction alone?
There have been issues in the past with mechanics of the game where the level/value of a perk or attack would stack if it wasn’t the same amount
Can be tested, but i doubt it. The most competitive companies all aim for freedom/resilient for a reason.
There are probably some spells that freedom might not work against at all, even if they’re stuns.
But those should be tested and go asap into bug reporting.
