Also gain reduced cooldowns and incoming healing. FOC – this improves the damage and healing from your Flail when using Cleric abilities.DEX – can have some use as it gives you damage perks and buffs your Spear and Greatsword weapons.
Grit is also very valuable since one of the most important perks on your Sword is Refreshing Move which reduces your ability cooldowns from Light and Heavy Attacks, so you’ll want to make use of that, and your other weapons benefit greatly from you doing regular Light and Heavy Attacks also. You need to be using Light and Heavy Attacks a lot as a Tank because it’s basically impossible to permanently block as a Tank in New World, so to maintain your Stamina you need to drop block for large portions of time during combat. The best general Attribute setup is 300 CON with the rest of your points into STR.ģ00 CON gives you Grit which is useful to prevent you from getting staggered so you can hold your positions much better while using Light and Heavy Attacks.
