Blunderbuss + Void Gauntlet PvP Build Please

@ I do have a pve video with this combo in tow, but im truly not the best at pvp and it feels like a cop out for me to say anything related to it hahaha but i may give it a shot to see what the interactions are. Might be worth it!

I mean, i'll take it! hahaha, I think there is a little knowledge here thats not widely known. And more so along the way. Appreciate ya following up and chatting too! Hope to see ya around more

Thanks! It def feels like a pvp build but runs really well in pugs too. Super fun to play. Only ran the raid a few times with BB but i was firestaff BB both times.

@@weabooslayer01 flamethrower is wiiiiiild right now.

Yeah flamethrower is running rampant! I dont really mind though. I seen an entire group of 5 FS users running meteor the other night. They all stayed up top the forts just raining down and nothing but tanks could stand in it. Pretty funny despite my team hating every minute lol

@@TheFactChecker2025 you spelled fire staff weird…

Honestly, it seems like console aim lock for musket and bow is insane. Like never missing, which is wild. I did see a aimlock BB last night with a pocket healer and he was just destroying our team on our land essentially. Rough stuff lol

@ hurry up and move to Maramma lol

@ thats what i mean and ofc also fire staff thats pain too

@@sk0omaalters96 Tomorrow im gonna try and move me and fiance to maramma. Whats your name, ill add you in the evening!

It is, my main PVP build has been the mechanic in blunderbuss for a very long time now. I absolutely demolish 3 V3’s and duels, and can’t be touched in the FFA zone except by the broken fire staff. I use Tumblr foot wraps with a lot of jerking heels, and for the blunderbuss you skip last shot and choose between net shot to help slow down your targets and allow you to more easily put a trap on them, or once you get really good, you use claw shot to quickly close the gap and really surprise a lot of people and catch them off guard. Essentially it’s trap into sticky bomb into another trap, because in PVP most players will have some sort of freedom to get out of your initial trap by the time you’ve thrown your sticky bomb so you want to throw the second one down to keep them in place while you do your splitting grenade and tropical blast most of the time except against heavy’s. It’s an instant kill on everything. The mechanic is typically a shit on weapon, but it is so very damn good especially in PVP and I highly recommend it because I never see anybody besides myself using it and it is very underrated… Nobody can really defend against it. Additionally, I would tell you to put all of your points into strength first if you’re going PVP with this because your focus is the blunderbuss and that’s where your damage is coming from you will be up close and personal the entire time you don’t really care if you must get does any damage it is literally just a statistic for utility purposes. It sits there so that you can have your traps and your bomb and I throw crippling powder burn on my gloves Cause it’s another good way to slow your opponents down and close the gap to start your combo

@sk0omaalters96 sounds fun. so exhaustive net shot on bb and crippling powder for armor perks? So the combo is basically slow enemy, trap then sticky then trap, then splitting grenade? Or blast shot first to keep them down while splitting grenade does it's thing? Or save blast shot in case they're still alive after grenades?

@@aParanormalEvent I don’t use blast shot for pvp, it’s too televised and easy to avoid. You’re going to use splitting grenades and shrapnel blast with the shrapnel bomb

I played around in OPR a little with it, but im not great at pvp, or just dont have the right gear for it either. I just really want the artifact BB hahaha

@ lol you and me both! It’s absolutely ridiculous how much I’ve been grinding for it

Pretty pumped to run it on laz when it comes back around. I've got a nasty vorpal blunderbuss im eager to see what kinda numbers im gonna toss out with it on that last boss!

@ you can farm a bb called missed buckshot in open world that’s really good with that too. I copied the Thor build

Are you looking to do expeditions with this build or just solo play?

Generally solo play or with friend

I am 82 years old and hand eye coordination is not what it was 50 years ago. For safety I prefer a ranged weapon and prefer the blunderbuss over the bow. I like the Life Staff because it can provide additional healing when I get in a jam. 😢I regularly play with 1 friend in PvE. I am currently level 63 with 625 gear.

As a pve player, i feel for pvp players, lol. Makes the BB a great option outside the typical, especially for me who's def outran his hand eye coordination years. Not sure why its not just disabled for certain content.

Yeah, back when it was bugged in a good way, i didnt have it. Go figure hahaha

I run pretty low con normally, so i get punished pretty easily at any point, but i was doing quests in CK last night and it didnt feel any worse than normal for me. I did die a few times, but i chalked it up to not having a potion on hand due to long cooldowns + endless thirst. I feel like im gonna have to toss the thirst to the side due to the increased cd. This lightning build has CON on armor, which i dont really like. Id rather have the damage. The new fs is really, really good. It essentially has the 4 normal DoTs, plus the new DoTs that stack ot 5, and it comes with keenly jagged. So 10 DoTs right off the jump, and you can stack them really quick with just an incinerate and flamethrower. On top of a BB with a runeglass, keenly jagged and your 3 DoTs from splitting grenade. So on paper, and in practice, youre looking at 15 DoTs running simultaneously. You do have to reproc the dots ever 7-10 seconds, which is the biggest downside. A Lifetaker can get 8 DoTs without changing weapons, and another 3-4 when you do. I think not having to change weapons to proc DoTs is better in the long run, especially when the DoTs on Lifetaker can use the increased DoT damage perk. But with the way the game works, its not of any use having more than 1 FS in your party. So for me and my fiance, it comes down to whos in the party and what we can use to make us more efficient. But solo play, its personal pref. I feel like by the time i had the DoTs ticking when doing daily quests, most enemies died. But I could just kill them quicker with the BB. But those named enemies and world bosses who have a chunk of health can def seem easier to drop with the DoTs going. Pretty cool to see the healthbars melt down.

It certainly feels like it at times, hahaha

What are you using exactly? In the video i do change to my attuned LPs and that set works perfectly fine and has since season 7 release. My fiance as well, who uses PS5 and aimlock pretty much the entire time, all the time, hasnt experience this issue either. Im gonna try a few other armors later tonight and see if i cant get anything similar

@NinetiesKidTV my build is more like pvp, super high damage i recommend u use it too, mjolnir+BB, azoth condutor(im in medium to activate the perk/also im using heavy chest and other gear medium) full enchanted ward+ lightning harness/exhustive net shot and soundering shockeave on gear/ feel free to choose other three perks, i use BB with enchanted+penetrating empowered+flame attunement, shah neshan amulet+ crafted ring with lightning damage+hearty+invigorated punishment+endless thirst =full 725

@NinetiesKidTV that was build, and yes its ok on console but they nerfed it on MnK, bunch of clowns in AGS studio, and they didnt touch hatchet,VG or spear

@@mortzamirzakhani8367 I actually do have a build very similar to this for pvp as well, i just rarely use it. I do a few tracks here and there hoping for the BB artifact. So youre saying it happens a lot in pvp then? Thats unfortunate. I tried out featherweight, and two artifact boots last night and i didnt have anything similar happening like I do with the Wraths. Its really odd, im, not sure what to make of it. I've noticed some bosses in expeditions have new auto lock points too, which seem to not register hits at times. But for the most part, ive not experienced it much.

@NinetiesKidTV so if youre looking for pestillence thats the time try to do more pvp to get to track50 and the drop rate of artifacts is insane just do it b4 they regret it, and as for BB, maybe pvp is different with pve but in pvp it really is close range gun only now (if enemy stay still or u would miss ur shots), i mean in more than 5 meter its a mess, i just changed my build tonight due to the new spread pattern and lack of pellets hit. The funny thing is they dont even touch other stuff like musket, VG, Hatchet (now its even better than a healer to stay alive, imagine u can change ur weapon to hatchet while ur stunned by WH and use defy death)... it looks like bunch of clowns balancing the game

It does seem like they tweaked the BB in ways that kinda messed it all up. Im not sure the changes is what did this though. Still more testing to be done i guess!

I will actually look into moving tonight, tbh. Not for the gold but just for another person to test things with. Would make it so much easier, hahaha!

@ did you move?! If so awesome! Let’s hang!

@@NinetiesKidTV come to Maramma, add me in game Seris Ordin

@@sk0omaalters96 Not yet, I wasnt sure on if everything moved with me or what. Like gold and gear and stuff in storage.

@ yeah it should all go, literally everything moves with you, your entire account is just on a new server

He uses a different set in the video and it doesn't do it with aimlock on. Plus when using natures wrath and not using aimlock, it still does it.

Im not entirely sold on this atm. I do use ALPs in the video and it doesnt do it, and hasnt done it at all all yesterday or today. I've done a slew of mutations and leveled up a few new artifacts too. Its only with Wrath that i get this bug. Have you experienced it, and if so, do you know what armor artifact you were using?

@@NinetiesKidTV I have experienced it numerous times, even just running around doing my daily faction missions in great Cleave… With or without nature‘s wrath, I have found that randomly the blunderbuss will just stop registering damage altogether when using a walk and then randomly after a few seconds start registering the damage again. Again, I don’t think it has anything to do with nature’s wrath… Except for maybe nature’s wrath just has its own weird interaction that’s bugged right now and makes it more noticeable sometimes?

@@sk0omaalters96 It might do it randomly for you, i personally havent experienced it playing normally(a few times on a few enemies where the new auto lock target on said boss is essentially the ground) but it absolutely does it for me every single time after using a skill with NW, even on my fiances account on ps5. And i mean every single time without question. Auto lock or not, after a skill there is no damage from basic attacks for roughly 4 seconds.

@@NinetiesKidTV the no damage from all basic BB attacks for around 4 seconds happens to me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME I go and lock on to the skeletons and stuff in great cleave when doing my dailies. No NW

It was in the new season patch notes that they did indeed fix both the band and wrath. And they do seem to be working properly, both of them for the most part. But Wrath and BB seem to have this bug to it, im not entirely sure why tho

@@NinetiesKidTV haven't been able to play this week. Unfortunately don't have natures wrath. I must have missed that they fixed wrath. I think i saw the elemental band being fixed.

@@digytl Yeah its fixed, for the most part, with other weapons. I did test it out with greatsword and firestaff and it seems to be working as intended on those gears. Just not the BB...

I do! In the video when im testing damage perks, I use three blunderbuss with a ruby in them!

Yeah, I dont think a lot of people really grasp that some weapons dont have a lot of empower attached to them. But the lightning build and warhammer is one of my next videos!

Yup. Which is why i dont use runes of helio on my firestaff build. Blunderbuss hasnt got a lot of empowerment to run off so it does take advantage of the fire armor. There are a few other weapons that are similar too.

All this math was done within the week when runeglass came out nearly 2 years ago :D

@ I'd love to see a spreadsheet on perks and abilities. I wasnt able to find anything on the blunderbuss, or nearly any weapon in terms of DPS times and numbers.

Yeah, I'd honestly much rather just look something up but I couldnt find anything that had what i needed.

Harnessing does count towards cap, but BB has nearly no empowers so I think i was sitting just around 40% when using ruby, due to endless thirst buff.

Wasnt me! and it happens to me as well, hahaha. BB burst down capabilities are insane, which is what got me into a PvE build in the first place!

I would say it is worth it, if you are a min/max type of person. It does add 6-9k to my burst combo overall so its hard to deny, but I think when it comes to doing M3s and so on, having a set with just fire harnessing and being able to switch out gems and not waste the runeglass is probably the way to go. Which is the currently the set im working on building. Azoth light armor set with fire harnessing. I think preferably, in the long run, i'll have a set for different content. Like raid gear can be more specific and even include runeglass, while M3s will change weekly and just not be viable for runeglass.

So the ruby that converts x% into fire damage doesn't coinside with all the buffs?!?!. I wonder if this would be the same with the bolt caster

@ with the way this game was made, its hard to consider all the variables. First off, beast enemies take MORE thrust damage, and are not weak or strong against fire, so these numbers are slightly off because of this(so my thrust is higher due to this, which misconstrues the correlated fire damage). I am working on a more in depth video with a lightning build that might answer your question a bit better, and will be taking into consideration the above mention variable. I have looked through dozens of mutation 2 videos, and my highest damage output and highest damage per shot numbers do seem to be with a moonstone, rather than a ruby. Usually between 150-250 damage per pellet, so up to 1-1.4k damage per shot at times in difference. But again, this is when my abilities are on cooldown, so roughly 15 seconds of a 17% dmg buff to get those numbers up that high. I used a greatsword/boltcaster build before i got into the BB, and i was hitting roughly 10k heavies with the caster, and 11k with the greatsword(moonstone as well). So part of me wants to suggest the boltcaster synergizes better but I couldnt tell you for sure.

Absolutely something ive been wanting to record is a video on TTK on different enemy types, even in mutations! Thanks for the info!

Appreciate it brotha! thanks for checkin em out!!

Thanks! Got some pretty cool stuff in the works that i think people are gonna be surprised about!

Yeah, you know i've tested rings out pretty extensively and even with my full fire set, with a fire ring and a BB that uses ruby and ignited, it just doesnt do the damage youd think youd see with it. My fire damage portion of my damage was rarely 50-80 damage over my thrust portion. Ive also used a lightning set with lightning ring and mjolnir, and even that was pretty disappointing when it came down to numbers. Granted, I did not test out a ruby and ignited on the BB im using now, so I might have to take the bite on 8k and get a new runeglass for it, but i just have so much to test right now im not sure its worth it currently. With all that said, I do have plans to make videos on a full fire set build and lightning set build, as well as a poison build once i can get pestilence unlocked. If i can manage a similar BB drop, I may try the fire BB again with ring.

Defiantly a great team utility all around! Tether and Oblivion absolutely makes up for the loss of 15% damage from not using Finisher/Inferno. And i think being able to benefit the teams DMG might help more than just us doing the extra damage from DoTs. Let me know how it goes!

Thank you sir! I really appreciate ya checking the video out and I got some nifty info coming in after I tackle offhand weapons too. I've been collecting different videos from different weapons lately, and I think the numbers are gonna surprise a lot of people!

I do have the hatchet, but I havent done any testing with it for me to really say, but I will say that I dont think anything is out of bounds with any build. The blunderbuss specifically excels in burst damage, which tells me that your offhand has time to get attention. Hatchets are great utility, with high rend capabilities. So without testing, off the cuff i can say going Double Down on your BB will allow for 2 knockdowns and rends, on top of what your Hatchet can do. So being able to initiate boss fights with the Hatchets rends, switch to your BB and throw down a double down combo(essentially an extra immediate Azoth Blast or starting the combo with splitting grenade and ending with another SG) youre gonna have yourself some solid party utility and still high damage to contend with. I've done plenty of tensting with warhammers as my secondary, and ill have a video of that out sometimes this week, but I dont think Hatchet is gonna be much different for you. This little chat has gotten me curious myself though, so I may get mine perk'd out and give it a whirl myself tonight. I'd love to talk more about it tho! If you have any ideas, lets throw stuff back and fourth and make this work.

@@NinetiesKidTV I wish I had more ideas. Just was watching your video and thinking about how the freya has been used for a spear hatchet combo for high rend and high uptime for dps. I figure if you were going to go the round of freya you would commit to a full ranged build with rend, infected throw and social distancing or potentially just berserk for some extra melee dps while up close (after your bb combo). Or just keep the rend on the freya, BB combo, berserk and then maybe refreshing torrent until your combo is back up? I like the speed of the hatchet which is why I was thinking of this. Not sure how the split would go for stats given that BB is strength and int while hatchet is str/dex.

@@NinetiesKidTV so tried it out with a couple different hatchet specs. I think the throwing tree is what works best but not sure if I should take out social d and keep berserk for any melee encounters. I don't have the best gear so I can't really optimize attribute wise. but mostly strength, 25 dex, rest into int. Seems to be doing well but need to test it against a boss. Any thoughts?

@@digytl Ive been really thinking about it for awhile now, even went out to farm a Sin the other day but im currently testing the waters on a flail+BB build with the Odo and havent got much time even with it the last few nights. But i think the rend/throw build is gonna be your best bet. I dont think berserk will be much help for you, considering i fully believe the BB to be better damage than it. I dont see it performing similarly to a Lifetaker build, which utilizes damage buffs. The only downside to the Hatchet build is not getting any DoTs running to essentially increase sustain dps over the course of a boss fight. With that said, the rend can always make up for it in terms of team utility, and even just a solo experience too. If you like the gameplay of hatchet, i'd say keep running it and testing the waters on different skills to see what you enjoy. If you like having the option of Berserk, keep it in! Im anxious to get this flail offhand video done. I plan on working on the warhammer after, but ill get to the hatchet after it!

@@NinetiesKidTV that's awesome. I am curious to see your flail BB build. I used one a while back more for PVP but didn't think much for PVE as I felt that the overall damage was pretty low on the flail. But I guess if you knock them down with odo or blast shot it might give you more damage? Though not sure how it works with the bosses. I hear you on the sustained dps which is something I have noticed as well. Since I am just starting out I will keep fiddling around with it to see if I like it or not. I have luckily been able to find some cheap gear to test out stuff but it does make it hard to totally optimize with stats. One of the things that I like about the hatchet is that I don't feel like there is much of a delay going between each of the abilities? (or at least it feels that way) Do you feel that double down is the way to go or the ultimate on the left of the tree? (sorry can't remember the name) I was thinking about adding leeching shrapnel blast for a little extra heal. Waiting to get the inferno to try out your inferno build! :)

Constantly testing out new builds and perks, and having rerolled a few artifacts already, i decided not to bother with it until I iron out something concrete. Just not worth it for me atm

Valhalla unfortunately! Didnt know it was a legacy server until it was too late, hahaha. But, its a lot of fun still so i cant complain. Hows the population over there?

@ it’s actually pretty fantastic! At least for New World standards…I can always find a group for pretty much any content, and the companies are super active.

@ Sounds like a great server! Im def torn. I have a solid company and friends, but i do regret not hoping on the fresh start when i had the chance....

Got tired of hearing all the tanks and healers complain about dps just because they dont see a greatsword. I have a lot of stuff to test out still, but there's some pretty big revelations coming in terms of DPS across the board. Appreciate ya checking this stuff out and commenting! Gotta get it out there

@ I have been absolutely demolishing 3v3s and duals without breaking a sweat and clearing gorgon with bb consistently for a long time now and I am constantly pulling aggro from the tank. I’m easily one of if not THE top damage dealer in any raid and still people talk shit because it’s not “meta” lol

@@sk0omaalters96 Sounds amazing! Valhalla being legacy, youd think BB being a viable option would be known but its still not catching fire yet. Makes its hard to even get into a raid group, being new and all, plus using BB. Cards are stacked against us, but i feel the tides are gonna turn! I'd love to see you in action, i bet its a sight!

Ppl don't hate bb just aim lock.

@@humbertopineiro834 I understand the skill no skill thing. Im not much for pvp luckily, although i do really want that pvp track artifact.

Couldnt agree more!
