Intro
PvE Gearing in Season 6
Achieving Best-in-Slot (BiS) gear is a crucial goal for players aiming to maximize their performance in New World’s PvE content, particularly in high-stakes scenarios like mutated expeditions or endgame raids. BiS gear represents the pinnacle of optimization, featuring the ideal combination of perks, attributes, and gear score tailored to your role—whether you’re a damage dealer, tank, or healer.
Main source of BIS gear in season 6 is Hive of Gorgon raid and Trial of Devourer. To make it clear you don't need that gear to clear the raids. Having 695 Gearscore is more than enough for any endgame content. Look for items with similar perks combination as will be mentioned bellow. Good example - Azoth Crystal Gear
In this section, I’ll provide an example of a BiS setup for a DD role in PvE (and will add Tanking and Healer options later). This includes a curated list of armor, and accessories, along with the most effective perks.
