New World Why Healer & DPS Should Run Sword & Shield as Secondaries

There are three abilities you want to be running:
First: Whirling Blade.
Second: Reverse Stab.
Third: Defiant Stance.
Talent: Leadership.

You can in essence use Defiant stance with restoration to trigger a 15% of your max health as a heal. You can swap weapons after using this to trigger the heal instantly.

Then you can use back stab on up to 4 enemies with a 100% Cooldown reduction causing defiant stance to reset completely.

Please watch the video linked as it will show you live example on how it can be used.

I go into further deal about weight classes. It is very important for DPS to be in the light class category as it will provide them with a 20% dmg boost which is HUGE. But what some players don’t understand running sword and shield with leadership will provide an additional 10% dmg boost to your allies.

This is especially important for healers to run to provide not only and extra heal for them selves through defiant stance and provide a 10% dmg boost for when healing is not needed for your group members.

Please try this build out if you are in a group, tell me how it works.

I really believe this will change the META for PVP and PVE!
