  • What is your character name in New World: JuicedInsomniac
  • What server/world did you experience your issue on: El Dorado
  • Describe the issue you are experiencing: When I get hit when not using GRIT, no matter what attack it is, if I try to follow up with a light attack my character glitches out and I basically get mini staggered each hit. This makes playing any form of melee thats not great axe/warhammer with 300 strength unplayable.
  • Is this a bug or an exploit: BUG
  • (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: my light attacks are super limited because my character gets frozen for a second after getting hit, this is getting really annoying because any form of melee thats not great axe warhammer is already underwhelming, but this just puts the nail on the coffin.
  • (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: NO
  • (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced: New World 2022-03-05 15-27-07.mp4 - Google Drive
  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: Just try to fight back against another melee without grit…

A follow up clip with someone using spear against me, same issue ^

Thanks for reporting this here on the forums. I’ll send it over to the developers for you.

its even happening to GA/WH if you don’t have “Enduring Strike” for GA and “Hardened Steel” for WH.
Don’t select those points for GA or WH, then you’re in for a bad time. Even if you have 300 in Str. The perk for 300 in Str is broken.
Your Character will glow but you’ll get staggered nonetheless.

I’m just thinking of going 255 Str, 160 con and putting 50 into Dex for the 5% crit.
When you eat the rabbit you’ll get the extra 40 in con to make you really tanky.

Still cant figure out if 5% crit is better then 45 str.
I’ve built my character around trenched crit damage +19%
So that should proc more but still more testing is needed.

if u have a weapon that scales in both str and dex, 50 dex is amazing, but if not, its no where near worth it

Thanks :smiley:

On the whole testing you character out via a simulation, is there a site for that?
Cause trying to theorycraft and test it out ingame is really expensive. Unless you’re in one of those companies that have over four quadrillion in their treasury, but the problem they have is they milk their server dry of materials.
As for the spread sheets I’ve come across are so convoluted here is the best one i could find so far.
But it is so frustrating to use that i would rather just not use it.

Basically looking for something like D3Planner but for New World. Clean and easy to use!
