People spend millions on light gear. I have played this game for 4k hours specifically being a light user. Light has been nerfed and is still in a good state. It takes a lot of skill to be skillful to dodge and time from being 1 tapped by other people. Please do not nerf light for the sake of 100 hr andys that are complaining without practicing dueling for thousands of hours like I have. Do not listen to the people that do not want to put the work in and actually improve. Take care of the professionals that have been with New World since beta!!! Listen to us more than the new players.

Lol, that is unfortunate. Some sort of nerf to light is 100% going to happen, and probably the exact thing they worded on the video.
We do not know the numbers pertaining to it yet though.

I’ve said it on other posts but rather than nerf res/shirking they should add perks that work well with med/heavy. That way you don’t piss ppl off and give players something exciting and new to try out.
Something has to get nerfed, light is the only game in town at the moment. They can’t just keep buffing the struggling stuff, that way lies chaos.
Light NEEDS a nerf. I hate light but I pop off when I run it because it’s broken.

Light already got a nerf, its in a good spot. Weapons needs to be adjusted or buffed instead. When the game devs keep nerfing the game it gives the veterans a huge incentive to leave the game. I already know about 20 veterans that already confirmed they are going to leave the game if they nerf light again.
Light armor in general isn’t the problem. There are combinations of specific attribute bonusses (150 dex), passives in skill trees (bow haste i.e.), abilities (berserk, defy death i.e.) which are unbalanced. It’s NOT the entire light load that has already been (imo exaggeratedly) nerfed by adding 1.5s slow on any melee hit.
Nerfing resilient on LA would even buff some problematic light builds. Bow, muskets, hatchets benefit a lot from crit/headshot/backstab and often prefer targetting light armor players so nerfing resilient on LA would increase the damage output of bow, musket, hatchet even more.

Yes i agree. Light has been nerfed and is in a great spot. The problem is the exploits of the weapon combination that 100hr andys are complaining about.
There are only 3 perks worth anything on armor.
Freedom/Fort/Res
Everything else is just trash for melee.
