The Skirmisher tree is more focused on damage-over-time spells and hardcore utility abilities such as Poison Shot and Battle Precision.
Its two skill trees are Skirmisher and Hunter, with each of them bringing unique elements of utility and damage to the table. Bow Image via Amazon GamesĪs New World’s trademarked two-handed ranged weapon, the bow is perfect for long-range combat. It can be used in almost any scenario, and all of its skills are relevant and usable in any setting. Altogether, the rapier is perhaps New World’s most well-rounded weapon. Additionally, there’s a ton of utility and mobility to be had through the Grace tree with skills such as Fleche. On the defensive end of the rapier, the Grace tree promotes a slightly more passive build through skills such as Riposte. Skills such as To the Bone, Tondo, and Flourish and Finish will all be piggy-backing off of each other to boost your DPS throughout the course of an encounter. The Blood skill tree is mostly used for PvE since it provides strong DPS to your build through abilities that work in tandem with each other.
