1. Great Axe And War Hammer Build For PVE & PVP

- Main Weapon: Axe

- Secondary Weapon: War Hammer

- Attributes: Dexterity (300), constitution (100)

This is the best tank slash melee dps build in New World for bruiser players and it is really good for PVP and PVE as well. So then no matter from which level you start, using this build. You first of all want to get your strength to 100 or even 150 and then start building your constitution and around level 60, you should have 249 strength and 150 constitution.

Gear recommended:

For more damage and to still have a bit more defensives, you want to go with the medium armor and the best gear setup is to have medium helmet, heavy chest piece, light gloves, heavy pants and light boots and this will give you 22.9 kilogram weight which is exactly just below the heavyweight category.

The Great Axe abilities we recommend:

- Reap: It basically extends your axe for 5 meters and if enemy is running, you can pull him back.

- Charge: This is another dash ability which will deal damage and give you more mobility.

- Gravity: You can aim and shoot and if you hit targets in that electric storm he will take damage and get stunned.

Best War Hammer abilities we recommend:

- Clear Rout: It is a wide swing that knocks back all targets in 4 meter range

- Shock Wave: When using the spell it will give us the ability to slam down the hammer and create a small earthquake and all players standing in this will get stunned for 2 seconds.

- Path Of Destiny: It creates a huge electric wave and all enemies standing in the spot will take bunch of damage.

The best way to play this New World build Great Axe and War Hammer:

The way you want to attack a player is by using your great axe and then activate the gravity well and then follow that up with the charge ability. Then when the enemy is out of here all stuns he will probably try to run. so use the reap ability and pull him back. Then now switch to the warhammer and either way use your shockwave and path of destiny to stun or deal damage or just keep it for later and only use auto attacks plus the block system, so you can do one to two light attacks and then block in between. So with this build there is no one best way to use your spells, the most important thing to know is that what each ability does and with time and practice you will know what to do in each fight.

The first tip for great axe and war hammer weapon combination is if you are fighting against another melee player, use one or two light attacks and then in between remember to use the blocking system. But if you are fighting against a ranged player, then don't forget to use the medium jumps and to close the distance between a player, don't just run into a straight line but zigzag and this will make you a lot harder target to hit.

For the last and final conclusions for this build, this great axe and war hammer weapon combination is super strong and as you are using a medium armor you can still survive for very long, but at the same time deal bunch of damage.

The best way to play this PVE & PVP New World build highest damage:

The best way to attack a player is always try to keep your distance. So always be away from the enemies at least 45 meters. So what you want to do is from range use your auto attacks and activate the poison shot, penetrating shot and rapid shot in whatever order you want. Then when the enemy gets too close to you, switch to the rapier and first of all use your repost ability and reflect his incoming damage. Then when that is done, use your fleece ability and create more distance from him. So then while he tries to catch up to you, switch to the bow and try to finish him off or if that is not enough, go back to the rapier and use the evade and auto attacks and that should do the job.
