this is litteraly a build i was looking for.. hoped on YT and saw this guide, thanks. a question, is it viable for " casual" pve aswell?? starting out aternum today... like many others. Trying to get a build going with flail + BB. or replacing 1 for GS. not sure... thanks for content!
This guide was made a long time ago. I think there have been alot of changes to the weapons since this. But I bet the build is still pretty viable yeah! Just experiment with it, have fun in Aeternum 💯💯
You mentioned you're thinking of running Invigorated as your third perk on armor to counter dots eating away at you. Wouldn't you want to run Vigor? Vigor reduces the duration of Bleeds, Burn, and Poison effects. Whereas Invigorated reduces the duration of Rend, Weaken, Exhaust, and Disease; which aren't dot effects from what I understand.
Thank you! I probably won't make any guides for new world anytime soon. I've decided to take a break from the game untill they add some new pvp content. I imagine the heavy set from the new expedition would be a good choice though
Hi Jiggy, thank you for the awesome build. This was already asked, but I don't think was answered. Is this build viable without pestilence? If yes, what perks would you choose for a regular BB?
I have not tried it. I'm seeing people claim it is bugged and not giving the extra armor or not all of it so I didn't bother with it quite yet. In any case I think it wouldn't be better than tumblers. Another option is michael shield though, Michael is still a great option, especially since dots are such a difficult thing to deal with.
@@jiggyspice6809Ah oke, thank you. I will try it when i get the other pieces together. Also I just seen somebody testing the voidplate and apparently it just shows the wrong numbers, but if you relog it shows them correctly, so it is probably working
Its working, just buggy UI. And the benefit isnt just the pure armor, its working incredible with fortify buffs. There is an theorycrafter video explaining why. But you can reach absurd defensive stats because of that.
Yeah SH is pretty useless now unfortunately. I'm keeping the gear because I don't want to waste my gold recrafting. But I wouldn't recommend sh anymore
I'm looking for building this set, but with Void Dark Plate Chest and mixing 2 Ele Avers, 2 Shirking Fort, 2 Enchated Ward, 2 Invigorated, 2 Refreshing , 2 Health and Nades on Armor. Do u think is a good combo? For Earring i wanna use something like Fortifying Toast, Regen and maybe one refreshing or Refreshing toast. For amulet just a Named one with Thrust protection and Stamina rec. The ring is the same still with leeching and fire damage. LMK
That does sound really good! However I want to mention, next patch you can get a free heavy set with illegal perk combo of ele aversion and ench ward. It's going to be reaally good. Then you can just change final perk to shirking fort. For amulet fire protection might still be the better option rather than trust but you gotta make that call. Always protect against what you have much trouble against. On my server bb/FS is more of a problem than vg/bow. And I anticipate most bows next patch will run the elemental bow. Void dark plate is probably still going to be the best option for chest though
@jiggyspice6809 👋 Hey, Yep, it sounds really good and ye I know about this gear, but it's named so u can still gonna have problem with magnify if u wanna 300-150-150. Also are u sure u can add SF perk on them as last one? Normally u can't add a defensive perk when u already have one. Also with this meta should I still go the same perk as u on Flail and maybe add plagued crits?
Shrapnel blast and splitting grenades are fire attacks. They make out 70% of your DMG so it's worth boosting. And since this is not a high int build you will get more DMG from opal than ruby in the weapon
Hey, I'm gonna try out this build also, what about the light FS/BB build with Shirking heals? After this nerf are u still gonna use it or just go fire harnessing and ele aversion?
The FS/BB build still feels the same if im being honest. Not much changed. For ranged players its easy. Melee is tougher in this current meta. Self sustain is gutted to the ground so if you want to play without a healer you are going to have to min/max your survivability and sustain as a melee or close range player.
Oh yeah I should have mentioned it in the video. That is 100% viable option. And for something like war I might run michael instead of tumblers. Maybe even in OPR. Michael is a super strong choice for sure!
I use Michael in a very similar build (I am medium, no SH at all and I focus more on leeching perks with Ankh). It's absolutely viable and disgusting in 3v3 and open world/OPR. I've thought about trying heavy, as that's what I used to run with my old BB/WH build and always felt the 10% medium damage boost wasn't worth losing all the defense for, but the new medium dodge is really nice and I quite like how tanky I am anyway. I am still likely to try a heavy build version of this though, mainly because then I can go 150 con instead of 200 and just go full on 300/150 for str/int and do really nasty damage (current build is 300/65/50/200 or thereabouts). I just find it difficult to give up Michael's dot removal so sticking with that instead of Tumbler and shirking heals.
health is too expensive for me to even want to suggest that to my viewers, it's absolutely not good enough of a perk to be that expensive. and it isn't bis either. The extra healing it would give your shirking heal is less than 200 so it doesn't give value. I have 5x health on my light set and it really doesn't do much.
2 questions - will you still run SH after the next nerf when they change the heal type to self heal and therefore ankh doesn’t work? I’m still far off get ankh as well - so I guess I’ll have to use endless thirst And for pestiliance - if I can’t get it anytime soon, and I use ODO instead - what perks should I get on the BB?
SH will always be a strong perk and even if they nerf the synergy between ankh and SH it will still be a BiS perk. The only way I will stop running it is if they buff potions back to how they were pre-expansion. Ankh is always going to be bis for group play and mass pvp as well so you definitely do want to go get it. Endless thirst is a decent option though. If you dont want to run pestilence and just run a normal BB I think the bis would be attun, ench, keenly jagged or something along those lines. that would be a pure dps BB

@jiggyspice6809 So make a new video of the updated build for us. I really want to play with this weapons. Pleeeease
@@Freedom182 Hehe sadly I don't play new world anymore so I wouldn't expect any guides any time soon
Ooo this looks like a fun build indeed. Thank you for the upload, very informative aswell, good stuff
Hope you enjoy 💪
@@jiggyspice6809 oh you bet i will! Just need to get Ankh .and probs Michael
Viable without Pestilence? Some things just don't want to drop.
Oh yeah still viable without pestilence.
hope u get ur pesti soon though brother, I know the RNG grind sucks

Oh my bad. I always mix up those names. Yes I mean vigor! 100%
Would you be able to make a PVE version of this build? I feel like it would be super fun in Expedition or just plain open world
Great video. Can you update for season 4 please?
Thank you! I probably won't make any guides for new world anytime soon. I've decided to take a break from the game untill they add some new pvp content.
I imagine the heavy set from the new expedition would be a good choice though
Why did you decide to get the boots instead of Michael?
They are just overall better if your running shirk heals.
I'd like to see this with the the heavy artifact chest , may not seem like it but you do lose out on quite a bit of armor not in full heavy
Yeah the heavy chest is super good! Definitely one of the best choices for this build
Hi @@jiggyspice6809 So in case I have the plate and the boots as well, which one would be better?
@@D4mesz the voidplate gives bese defense overall
Do we still think this build works with the SH nerfs again in the PTR if so what perks would you go for now?
The new heavy set from the new dungeon will be BiS now!!
So good news at least it's free
@@jiggyspice6809 Ele aversion, enchanted ward and.. ? health? :o why is it bis mate? Im kinda new and loving ur build
Hi Jiggy, thank you for the awesome build. This was already asked, but I don't think was answered. Is this build viable without pestilence? If yes, what perks would you choose for a regular BB?
I think enchanted, keenly emp, attun would be bis
After Shirkin Nerfs, we still runnin tumblers?:D
Tumblers are still good! But shirking heal is officially a useless perk now. :(
finally! thanks!!!!
Enjoy! 💪😈
Heya mate, did you try the voidplate aswell? Would it work better with the build?

But you can reach absurd defensive stats because of that.
@@Acanis87 Oh wow, can you name the theory craft guy? I was wondering if it scales with fortify or if fortify is still calculated from base value
Jiggy bro flail self healing is proc incoming heal or outgoing heal? I am asking for ankh ?
Are you changing anything with 3.0.3. additional nerfs to SH?
Yeah SH is pretty useless now unfortunately. I'm keeping the gear because I don't want to waste my gold recrafting. But I wouldn't recommend sh anymore

Hey Jiggy,how can i get this gloves set ( mithril plate gloves of the soldier ) with ice harnessing? i want test on my IG build!
Hi, this is a crafted item. I just got ice harnessing as the random third perk
Oh,its a set from gypsum? or random named item? Sorry noob questions
@@brunnosalani9563 hehe no worries. No it's armor crafting with chromatic seals. Trade skills craft.
Hi Jiggy, Whats your chest transmog?
Hi, it is called pauldroned fears. It's from the store
Hi Jiggy, what do u think about sns heavy with pestilence ?
They're quite similar. I tested both flail and sns with this build. Overall flail felt a bit stronger. But sns is also viable
@@jiggyspice6809 and helmet u runing now on this build u think its BIS ?
Awesome
💪💯
YESSSSSSSS
LETS GOO! 💯🙌
could you explain +fire harnessing affecting BB? and why not run the fire dmg converting gem then? TYVM
Shrapnel blast and splitting grenades are fire attacks. They make out 70% of your DMG so it's worth boosting.
And since this is not a high int build you will get more DMG from opal than ruby in the weapon

my motto is the best defense is offense. I kill them before they kill me.@@jiggyspice6809
@@0xNobody That is a good motto and seems to be where the meta is shifting now to be honest.

Do you think it's worth losing one shirking heals, using a different kite shield. And using void darkplate instead for the 20% armor?
@@Bradley-t7g I would put SH on the voidplate
Of those 3 would you recommend one over the other? If you don't use tumblers..
Would you slot heavy boots instead...surely, right?
Love it. How would you rate fortified perk?
BiS. Its fortify meta now so you wanna stack as much as u can.
hm if you could pick one... heals or forti, what would it be
@@jiggyspice6809
What is the reason for not wanting to run x5 health. I thought that would be EVEN better on heavy
Because Health isnt BIS?! Just Meta and expensive, because its such an allrounder stat.

Jiggy bro flail self healing is proc incoming heal or outgoing heal??
@@DemocnasDemocna-oo1fx that's a great question. I'm pretty sure it's incoming heal.
How did you get heartrunes to 700? I only get level 500, can you make a video about this? Thanks
You just upgrade them in the stone crafting
Just upgrade at stonecutter table. Make sure to unequip it and remove it from any loadout slots as well and it will show up!
@@jiggyspice6809 thanks, I'll try
you can only have 3-4 pieces of magnify if you want split stats. :(
Yeah its really annoying, I hope they change how magnify works in the future
Why kite but not tower
Kite shield has the passive effect with flail to give it a stagger. With a tower we dont have that
Why Net Shot and no Blast Shot?
Netshot is so incredibly strong. But it's all up to preference.
@@jiggyspice6809 Thank you! Another one: Would Taiyi Shield be a solid option?
