It's actually better to pick Aimed Throw over this animation cancel. Because aimed throw can be used to cancel the animation on your light attack and give you a higher dps output. Also, enchantments like chain lightning will also apply to aimed throw.
For Fire Staff: You can cancel the animation for pillar of fire if you directly roll away after start casting. Feels like its only 1/10th of the time you're actually standing still when casting
Very important tip: Disable Auto-Targeting if you're using a Life Staff. However I also recommend keeping self casting bound to a button you find easy to press. For me, it's on one of the thumb buttons on my mouse.
@@prismo2250 that's why I run Orb of Protection instead. Also I think there is a way to turn it off for a specific ability but I havent changed my gameplay settings in ages.
1. When Casting Ice Storm (AoE) switching to Fire Staff cancels the damage/effects. 2. Pillar of Fire is broken and can hit twice 3. Pillar of Fire is broken and can self-cast on yourself if you press the hot key while sheathed. 4. Pillar of Fire is broken and can self-cast even if you use the targeting reticle and something/someone moves in between you or an object goes between you and the target area. 5. Getting hit during Ice Storm can cause it to not go off and go on cooldown 6. Getting hit during Pillar of Fire will cause it to not go off and go on cooldown 7. Light Armor has better mobility, but the 20% healing/damage does not work right now. If it worked, we would be doing 4,200 Crit Damage x2 to a target in a single second. Taking your beefy 17k hp tank to 8,600 HP in about 1 second if they are not blocking. Just my observations. I see people doing 3500 crits with Pillar of Fire with a single tick. When it hits twice (irregular and not reliable), it is just flat out broken. Good broken for the mages but bad broken for the receiving end.
All of these things are true! Light armor is missing 7-13% damage bonus which is gonna be insane once that starts working. On top of that one thing you didn’t note is light armor crits are broken because the regular damage is broken and are currently doing 30% bonus damage instead of the 60% light armor is meant to give with these 2 things fixed eventually they will be doing even more than that 4.5k u mentioned and could reach even 5.3~k meaning u could completely oneshot someone off a crit with 10k or less hp
On top of that this guys build w only 200 int n 200 con and med armor isn’t v good tbh the light armor when fixed is gonna be far superior and 300+ int with 100 con baseline max is gonna be what ur looking for
Light armor is working as intended. The point is that the 20% are doing literally no bonus dmg at all because medium armor has already double the defense of a light armor. Heavy armor has even more defense. So your bonus dmg on light armor is way to weak to be effective. To fix light armor being worth using, they need to buff the dmg bonus to minimum 40-50%. It sounds like to much but in reality isnt. Otherwise you are doing almost the same dmg as in medium armor but get hit by much harder because your defense is shit.
@@3ugeneCrabs no it isn’t… it’s been okay tested 100s of time and the proper damage conversion is not coming thru, crits are also not properly converting in light. And your assumption is incorrect the damage boost of 20% is right around the difference in damage reduction between light and heavy armor meaning it’s balanced between wanting to be tankier or more glass cannon. When light armor confers it’s proper bonus mages are going to be able to crit for 10k on a heavy attack w IG on a target w frostbite on it
Hatchet, hammer for dungeon speed runs. Switch to SS and hatchet for hard hitting bosses. GA, Hammer when not needing the taunts as much and focusing on crowd clearing.
Do you have any thoughts on hatchet + healer? I like it against pve but against long range pvp I keep getting killed (although my gear sucks right now)
I see a lot of top 3 or 5 videos but nobody uses musket and hatchet. I run musket with empower shot, powder burn, and traps, and I run the hatchet with all points into the berserker tree. With all points into dex and gear that gives me dex (I’m level 38) but I have 200 dex. With people wearing light armor I can two tap with empower and powder burn. And I use the traps for the head strong melee guys and root them just so I can hit them with my musket then go in with my hatchet to finish them. The build is really slept on. I get into fights with level 50s and 60s and beat them. It just takes a skilled player to use it because you’re a glass cannon.
This build might me decent at low levels but when you get to 60 and fight against life staffs, full heavy tanks and ect this build just doesn't do enough
I personally wouldn't recommend swapping out light armor for medium armor as a mage... You'd want to stay in the back anyway, so you won't get hit much, and when you do, the light roll is much better for getting away to get enough time to put down an ice shower. The extra damage you get from using light armor is also huge. With the fire staff having free heavy attacks, and getting mana back upon successful hits you'll rarely be out of mana. Especially if you use your entomb (which you probably should refrain from using, because you'll need it if you get jumped) but even if you run out of mana, mana potions are something you should have on you anyway... Mana is not a problem in this game.
@@Phantom_Anthem Appears to be working for me. My normal heavy attacks deals roughly 700 damage usually. When I equip a heavy chestplate, that brings me into medium armor (with the same amount of int) I deal around 550.
How are we supposed to get 300 pts in a stat by 60? You can only allocate 200 total. So for example if you split int and con, then you’ll need to have 150 pts just from your gear by 60? Seems unlikely
as you level, you get more additional stats. also your gearscore rises therefore giving u more additional stats on each piece as well. im level 60 with 325 strength 100 constitution. 425 total points
@@UnkleCreepy75 you put in a pristine amber gem into your ice gauntlet or weapon and half your damage for that weapon will scale off of focus. I’m running the same builds so that’s what I’m doing.
@@ronalddang me too, noticeably less dps than a pure str con build but i can heal really effectively when needed (picture healer goes down on boss fight etc.. or just alt healing when no tanking required) i love the build. altho i dont use the single heal, i use the fortify skill.
one of the best build videos i have watched so far. short and easy described. images and colors used to highlight a (skill) path. the only question i ask myself is why axe and hatchet is declared the best melee build whereas i see many build pages and ppl in new world using hatchet/musket or hatchet/bow for leveling :o
Thanks and to answer your questions this video is not meant only for pve but pvp as well, and these builds with these setups are the most optimal way for both pvp and pve.
i see though i mostly see hatchet + musket for pvp since you got both stats being dex with crit, hatchet for melee and musket for range. bow more for pve and musket for pvp, but i guess i will give this first build a try since it looks good.
@@KaidGames2 I haven't tested it yet since there is a halloween event in a different game, but i'll test it once I actively play new world again. I hope I can change every stat that easily and gain an axe. I have seen written guide pages btw that only showed a stat contribution of 150/50 though, but you showed one of 200/200. is one info wrong, do your stats include item stats or did new world increase the stat gap somehow or did you mean to decide for either str or con or why are these numbers different?
When I repec my attributes it doesn't zero out all the attributes. Like I will respect and still have 25 points still in focus and 17 in Intelligence etc. Is this normal? If so why can't you zero them all?
The SnS build though. I find it weird. I'd rather get the reverse stab which if i hit at least 2-3 enemies i'll get my skill on almost CD if not full CD. Also the shield bash creates taunts with the carnelian. so you can rotate them with defiant so you can hard tank. I have nothing against the life staff as secondary i think it's nice that you can self sustain. But, i'd rather have hammer get armor breaker it has rend debuff makes life easier for your DPS, wrecking ball which has flatten for CC and shockwave AOE stun with carnelian can also taunt. So, you can have a rotation of shield bash, defiant stance, and shockwave. the boss has no way in hell can get away from you. I'm not really sure about the PVP aspect though, haven't tried it. but, I guess if they ignore you, you got 2 stuns(shield bash and shockwave), 1 knockdown(wrecking ball), 1 rend(armor breaker) which is also nice.
You said ice gauntlet and fire staff should use medium armor, yet you were dodge rolling, which means you have to be wearing light gear, kinda confused lol
The buffs still aren’t currently properly converting light is 7-13% buff instead of 20 and med is 4-5% instead of 10. On top of that even when those are properly working it won’t be worth generally as cc is so prevalent w the hammer Mets that u will insta did in light or med armor so having 1.8k of both resists in heavy is generally better for the survivability
That sword and shield with life staff looks interesting! How good would it be to level with that build? This looks like it would be an awesome solo farmer in PvE
@@KaidGames2 One shot? Are we playing the same game? Great axe is trash, hatchet does more dmg than GA, and your build is also wrong btw, you should learn the game and do some pvp's before uploading videos on yotube.
Hey, great video. Is there any way that you could send me the picture with all other weapon masteries on that hatchet and axe? I wanna go that build, i play this game for like a few days, and you say pick what you want after 😀 but i would like to know what you would pick from the other abilities. Just answer here to let me know if you would do that for me.
In open world PVP, or dueling YES that is best build and will be severely OP when light isn’t bugged. It can be beat kind of easy rn if you’re a good player with great axe but also depends on how the engagement started.
@@AyeKFortySeven i love when kids with great axe push me with bow spear, its easy. You literally just have to keep your distance and know when to go in with spear and every 1v1 you will have the upper hand.
Anyone else get a bug to where if you have the gravity ability on, that causes your foes you pull to stay still 30% longer, then your reap doesn’t do damage?
There is also the bug with the greataxe perk that pulls enemies to you on attack (first row on right tree). With that perk chosen, your heavy attack loses 40% of damage. 120% damage instead of 160%.
@@KaidGames2 yea i think you need to take another look into greataxe/hatchet build like alot that you showed in the vid messes up the build like my light attacks do up 1.5 damage but when i use the build you showed i lost alot of damage also you only need around 160 in con seen as you can use 40 con food buff that last 45 mins and i dont know what bug you have seen going past 250 in strength from what ive tested it works going to 300 in strength
Hatchet is the best weapon for soloing in the game. I recommend using it to grind to high level on a STR/CON build and then respec-ing into a mage. It's just so much faster. I did that before I became a healer.
@@goblez5900 I naturally did this, I was a hatchet user since beta and around level 49 I respecced into ice mage with rapier. The playstyle is totally different but I feel amazing. All light armor with med chest for combat roll, and I have fleche for more movement
Carnelian Gem for a DPS build ? Why ? I guess if the skill dosent have a TAUNT will be less threat right ? But do you really need threat reduction to play as a DPS ?
You got it all side ways, you want to use the carnelian gem on your weapons so in pve your healers and other dps players wouldn't get mobs on them but you would get them on you as you were a heavy armor and can play as tank
its good but only useful in 1vs1. not that good in wars and groups. plus needs abit of skill than other builds as well. but keep playing what you like thats all that matters if you dont do hardcore pvp, maybe bow and spear will get a buff later who knows
Well basically after 249 strength your damage goes from 1 damage per point to 0.6 per point so 250 strength will give you 250x0.6 and 249 will give you 249x1
You aren't bound to just using 2 weapons. If you want a build for Rapier I suggest taking up bow and Spear or Musket as well. My Company Leader/Friend actually uses all 4. Just keep in mind Rapier is mainly a backup weapon. Most of the time I see it used as an escape weapon for when you get jumped as a ranged character, although spear fills the same role and spear has a fantastic CC combo.
Yeah i'm using Rapier / Ice Gauntlet with Int ofc. The IG is my main dps source, and the Rapier is mostly used to hold and close gaps, depending on how the fight is going. Sometimes I dash in to finish a target, but thats rather dangerous cuz of the heavy cc chains in the game. Works quite well, I rarely lose 1v1s and can always trade kills in 1v2 or more, and get out cuz of the mobility. Only light armor sucks, so i'm trying heavy atm, but you kinda need the dodgeroll so I'll most likely go back to light.
@@freakz_lol using Heavy Helm and Chestpiece, Medium Boots and Gloves and some Light Pants might work better for you. You'll be in Medium but with some great damage protection.
How is that your magical left click do that much damage compare to the axe and great axe in the video, were you full intel even with the axes or the dmg is not that great.
why you say for mages heavy+light armor to get you medium weight and in video you use rolls as light weight category? and 29.9 is heavy range, 0-13 light, 13-23 medium, 23-50 heavy
I don't really like those skills for the life staff. I'm currently one of the best healers on my server and my current build is: From the Protection tree: Orb of protection + all its skills, Beacon + All except the last one in the chain. From the Healing Tree: Sacred Ground + all it's skills, everything from the absolved mini tree, and every other skill not a part of a tree as well as Divine Blessing.
My build is more geared towards pvp, Generally you'll be sitting in your backline but not too far from the action while shooting your abilities into the group. If you get jumped you can then pull out your sword and shield and block to defend yourself until your teammates can rotate back to help you.
It would, but there's diminishing returns and you need to weigh up which stat milestones fit your build. The later constitution ones are more tank orientated and the strength are dps.
@@tristanloveday5240 but for pvp with the damage output of some builds, ice gauntlet for example why wouldn't you want to be more tankier and outlast them?
@@LurkinPT i guess that's totally dependent on what content you're doing. If you're just doing wars and you need survivability on the point, it would be find but it keyholes you into specific content because now you've dumped 60% of your available stats into HP instead of DPS for PVE content. I think if you're being overly role specific, dps shouldn't have 60% of their stats rolled into HP.
still pooping on kids in my light armor. The free crits after dodge rolling, being able to dodge roll 3 times. the damage buff rn isnt 20% but it still isnt 0. i think light armor is still viable.
I don't even bother with the two Charge passives for war. It triggers when you hit an ally too, so the damage increase is negligible when you get stuck in; it's mostly used as a gap closer and escape skill. Better to take more generalized passives to be more deadly with heavy attacks.
I wouldn't take "first strike" talen from pilar of fire tree, It only works if the target is at full health, witch is normally not the case. It's way better to take the full tree of fire ball so you can reduce the cd of pilar of fire and keep spaming it.
@@StyxByrd Actually there was testing done and i forgot which streamer posted it but the 20% isn't working correctly you only see about 8% bonus damage so it's not worth it as far as min/maxing goes, thats why most top tier are going med or heavy. Though I love the game play with the roll so I still choose light....
I heard its a bugg in the game atm that makes it, and since its such a strong build its based around they wont stress the fix. but im not sure if thats the correct reason
@@KaidGames2 most Gaxes players will Wkey you just to get near and hit yoi, that gem is priceless against them. If they get close enough? Start with wall followed by storm, then 1 heavy attack on them and It's GG, insta kill + more dmg for the CC
Meta is ice gauntlet and life staff hands down can't argue I know a guy in my server who has done over 8 wars at number 1 with over 2.1 million damage each time he's nuts and it's not just him he got another person to do it and there doing 1.8 m or more a war so it's obviously the build
This is interesting as most ice gauntlet and ice staff abilities don't stack... thus he must be topping everyone else dmg wise and they're doing nothing...
@@idle7621 Ice staff? And the life staff doesn't do damage with any abilities besides the little orb launch for protection or whatever it's not supposed to stack and he runs aoe for ice gauntlet so he's hitting everyone with aoe damage
@@dannymoontattoos they are absolutely bugged. Heavy pull makes tour heavy attacks do less damage and gravity makes reap do 0 damage and not pull a target.

@@Jovlin its a slow decrease of dmg increase per extra attribute. sb did a video about it. it doesnt start at 200 strength, it gets less effective from 50 already.
@@inzainiaplays I already figured it out. I’m familiar with DR systems, I was alluding to the delay when returning to neutral after using abilities. Appreciate the attempt tho!
@@QuestPlays yea full heavy mage is insane. Just get full void + refreshing pillar on a heavy glove or something. Medium is good but there’s really not many benefits to using it over heavy. The dodge isn’t too much worse and the defenses and cc gained is insane. Fire staff itself gives enough gap closing ability and ice gauntlet freezes who you gap close in place. Also the attack stats are bugged so medium is only like 3% more damage instead of 10, and light 8.3% instead of 20. Full void plate can still get 300 int and you’ll have 150 con. You just need 550+ gs accessories to get it.
@@kky4011 in pve you need to run Reap + Gravity Well + Execute but for PvP you must run Reap + Gravity Well + Charge. No other way around it, also in wars you may want a bit more stamina and swap your hatchet for war hammer to reek havoc in their back line with all the cc

@@KaidGames2 I haven't tested it yet since there is a halloween event in a different game, but i'll test it once I actively play new world again. I hope I can change every stat that easily and gain an axe. I have seen written guide pages btw that only showed a stat contribution of 150/50 though, but you showed one of 200/200. is one info wrong, do your stats include item stats or did new world increase the stat gap somehow or did you mean to decide for either str or con or why are these numbers different?
@@Mytea1 at level 60 you get 200 points from levels and 200 points from gear, amulets and ect
great video thanks for the effort
When I repec my attributes it doesn't zero out all the attributes. Like I will respect and still have 25 points still in focus and 17 in Intelligence etc. Is this normal? If so why can't you zero them all?
The SnS build though. I find it weird. I'd rather get the reverse stab which if i hit at least 2-3 enemies i'll get my skill on almost CD if not full CD. Also the shield bash creates taunts with the carnelian. so you can rotate them with defiant so you can hard tank. I have nothing against the life staff as secondary i think it's nice that you can self sustain. But, i'd rather have hammer get armor breaker it has rend debuff makes life easier for your DPS, wrecking ball which has flatten for CC and shockwave AOE stun with carnelian can also taunt.
So, you can have a rotation of shield bash, defiant stance, and shockwave. the boss has no way in hell can get away from you. I'm not really sure about the PVP aspect though, haven't tried it. but, I guess if they ignore you, you got 2 stuns(shield bash and shockwave), 1 knockdown(wrecking ball), 1 rend(armor breaker) which is also nice.
preach!
You said ice gauntlet and fire staff should use medium armor, yet you were dodge rolling, which means you have to be wearing light gear, kinda confused lol
Light armor is better for fire/ice in open world pvp. Medium is the way to go for all larger stuff like wars and outpost rush
You can have a medium chest and still be in the light category.
for great axe and hatchet wouldnt you want Med or light for high DPS ? since the buffs are working now for armor ?
The buffs still aren’t currently properly converting light is 7-13% buff instead of 20 and med is 4-5% instead of 10. On top of that even when those are properly working it won’t be worth generally as cc is so prevalent w the hammer Mets that u will insta did in light or med armor so having 1.8k of both resists in heavy is generally better for the survivability
First. Good Video
Thanks
i like your videos, but can u talk about the stats in dhe armor and weapon in the next videos pls ?
That sword and shield with life staff looks interesting! How good would it be to level with that build? This looks like it would be an awesome solo farmer in PvE
Yeah with this build you can easily farm solo mobs or fight 1v2. Life staff and sword setup is very strong.
i lvled up completely with the paladin build and the only downside is the lack of damage tbh
@@Mara-ovo True, but on the other hand you are very tanky and hard to eliminate

You havent heard nothing, this is how he talks lol. Bet you havent heard the Daily dose of internet dude.
It's the Danish accent, no need to be rude 😭
good builds but you never want to grav well someone then charge in lol.. use them separate or else youll run out of gap closers
Don't you want to just basically one shot them right of from the start so you get your cooldowns going?
@@KaidGames2 One shot? Are we playing the same game? Great axe is trash, hatchet does more dmg than GA, and your build is also wrong btw, you should learn the game and do some pvp's before uploading videos on yotube.
apparently heavy pull and gravity on the GA decrease your damage :>
I am convinced that life staff + ice gauntlet is just way better than all of this. Str weapons are insanely overrated.
Do you gem your gauntlet
5:39 I thought this gem is for Tank build.
Thats why in the timestamp you linked he says (for pve use the carnelian gem). that is a meele tank/ dps build
1 question, is it better go for full pdef or balanced p/mdef?
Full physical because magical no longer stacks.
@@jessepotter365 Oh, I see. Thank you
In paladins build, Can I go with medium/light armor? Because I also like dodging. And moving.
Medium yes, light no
Hey, great video. Is there any way that you could send me the picture with all other weapon masteries on that hatchet and axe? I wanna go that build, i play this game for like a few days, and you say pick what you want after 😀 but i would like to know what you would pick from the other abilities. Just answer here to let me know if you would do that for me.
you could just take a screenshot
Hi I would love to see an in depth video about great axe and great hammer build
What do you mean? I have made bunch of videos with great axe and war hammer
you think that ice gauntlet and fire staff build is good for solo pve stuff?
It's alright, you'll need to have plenty of food though. Early game will be a little rough.
I solo'd everything from lvl 1-60 (except expeditions and elite zones of course) with this build.
Whats about Bow/Spear..is it the best combo for 1vs1?
Nice Video!
No.
Whern it comes to 1v1, nothing can beat a healer.
Life Staff >>>>>> Everything else.
@@macbait9902 You say that yet here we are with 2 other classes on this list that don't have life staff. Patrick has a point, Bow/Spear is insane.
bow spear light armor is disgusting, respecd to it at level 30 never looked back. i hate how ppl think light armor is useless lol
In open world PVP, or dueling YES that is best build and will be severely OP when light isn’t bugged. It can be beat kind of easy rn if you’re a good player with great axe but also depends on how the engagement started.
@@AyeKFortySeven i love when kids with great axe push me with bow spear, its easy. You literally just have to keep your distance and know when to go in with spear and every 1v1 you will have the upper hand.
Anyone else get a bug to where if you have the gravity ability on, that causes your foes you pull to stay still 30% longer, then your reap doesn’t do damage?
Hmm, thanks for the info I'll look into it
There is also the bug with the greataxe perk that pulls enemies to you on attack (first row on right tree).
With that perk chosen, your heavy attack loses 40% of damage.
120% damage instead of 160%.
@@KaidGames2 yea i think you need to take another look into greataxe/hatchet build like alot that you showed in the vid messes up the build like my light attacks do up 1.5 damage but when i use the build you showed i lost alot of damage also you only need around 160 in con seen as you can use 40 con food buff that last 45 mins and i dont know what bug you have seen going past 250 in strength from what ive tested it works going to 300 in strength
I think you have to level further on the left tree past gravity or respec off gravity to get reap damage back
I bought the game a couple of days ago and have been lvling a hatchet/g.axe, but man, the ice gauntlet build looks so much fun, I may switch to that.
Yeah it is super fun and with my build you can use it in every single activity for the game
Hatchet is the best weapon for soloing in the game. I recommend using it to grind to high level on a STR/CON build and then respec-ing into a mage.
It's just so much faster. I did that before I became a healer.
@@goblez5900 I naturally did this, I was a hatchet user since beta and around level 49 I respecced into ice mage with rapier. The playstyle is totally different but I feel amazing. All light armor with med chest for combat roll, and I have fleche for more movement
If you get heavy gear for the first build wouldn’t the stats build up your strength and constitution? So how do you keep it below 250?
Let's f**king gooooooooo!!! * Punches hole in wall* *screeeeeeeches*
You earned a sub from me. Amazing video straight to the point.
Thanks for the video. Regarding Lifestaff and Sword, I want to try the build. Curious, for pvp, why not amber on sword instead of opal?
It should be amber
Amber's damage scaling with focus is fucked so it doesn't matter atm.
Carnelian Gem for a DPS build ? Why ?
I guess if the skill dosent have a TAUNT will be less threat right ? But do you really need threat reduction to play as a DPS ?
You got it all side ways, you want to use the carnelian gem on your weapons so in pve your healers and other dps players wouldn't get mobs on them but you would get them on you as you were a heavy armor and can play as tank
oh nice my Paladin on Meta Build !!
xd
was meta since beta
Why not going for crit from dex? What do u mean ur dmg will bug once above 250?
5% crit is not worth spending 50 points and if you go past 249 strength you deal less damage because your points are multiplied by 0,6 not 1.0
They might nerf the Great axe, ice gauntlet and the life staff soon... those wepons are S Tier
Nice ty
sorry did not get the reason not having strength over 200 for GA+Hatchet build? can you please elaborate?
There are diminishing returns so each stat is worth less. Also, 250 STR makes your attacks slower and effectively lowers your dps.
so what about the bow and spear ?
dex builds are weak atm
They are not that popular but the build is good as I put bow and spear builds in my last 3 to 4 videos almost every single time
its good but only useful in 1vs1. not that good in wars and groups. plus needs abit of skill than other builds as well. but keep playing what you like thats all that matters if you dont do hardcore pvp, maybe bow and spear will get a buff later who knows
can you please explain that 249 strength bug attributes, so i must keep chosen+gear attributes under 249? does not it make lower dps?
Well basically after 249 strength your damage goes from 1 damage per point to 0.6 per point so 250 strength will give you 250x0.6 and 249 will give you 249x1
@@KaidGames2 thanks for explain, someone here say also attack animation is slower, so your attacks taje longer time, is this true?
@@KaidGames2 that work with gear atributs or only stat points?
Anyone else enjoying his commentary melody?
Thank you
You are missing the stacking rend on hammer, hammer axe > hatchet axe
You're rolling with medium weight which isnt possible seems like in the video you're wearing light armor doesnt make much sense.
Can you make a video on rapier pls? Maybe in combination with bow? Would be great, ty!
You aren't bound to just using 2 weapons. If you want a build for Rapier I suggest taking up bow and Spear or Musket as well.
My Company Leader/Friend actually uses all 4.
Just keep in mind Rapier is mainly a backup weapon. Most of the time I see it used as an escape weapon for when you get jumped as a ranged character, although spear fills the same role and spear has a fantastic CC combo.
Yeah i'm using Rapier / Ice Gauntlet with Int ofc. The IG is my main dps source, and the Rapier is mostly used to hold and close gaps, depending on how the fight is going. Sometimes I dash in to finish a target, but thats rather dangerous cuz of the heavy cc chains in the game. Works quite well, I rarely lose 1v1s and can always trade kills in 1v2 or more, and get out cuz of the mobility. Only light armor sucks, so i'm trying heavy atm, but you kinda need the dodgeroll so I'll most likely go back to light.
@@freakz_lol using Heavy Helm and Chestpiece, Medium Boots and Gloves and some Light Pants might work better for you.
You'll be in Medium but with some great damage protection.
@@goblez5900 Idk, im a Dark Souls player, I lowkey need this dodgeroll :D
But its so unsatisfying since the dmg bonus is bugged :/
@@freakz_lol alright, well I think that wearing a medium chest with full light will work for that.
How is that your magical left click do that much damage compare to the axe and great axe in the video, were you full intel even with the axes or the dmg is not that great.
My main build is full int mage so don't look at the damage numbers but at the playstyle and the way I use spells for each build.
Ice spike is better than entomb for PvP. The DPS is insane if you catch them correctly and entomb is just a stalling tactic.
... are these from BETA ?
new icegauntlet-rapier int build with elemental gem is also dope
Is way far to be new 😅
why you say for mages heavy+light armor to get you medium weight and in video you use rolls as light weight category? and 29.9 is heavy range, 0-13 light, 13-23 medium, 23-50 heavy
Yeah, I meant to say 22.9
@@KaidGames2 oh then ok thanks
I don't really like those skills for the life staff. I'm currently one of the best healers on my server and my current build is:
From the Protection tree: Orb of protection + all its skills, Beacon + All except the last one in the chain.
From the Healing Tree: Sacred Ground + all it's skills, everything from the absolved mini tree, and every other skill not a part of a tree as well as Divine Blessing.
My build is more geared towards pvp, Generally you'll be sitting in your backline but not too far from the action while shooting your abilities into the group.
If you get jumped you can then pull out your sword and shield and block to defend yourself until your teammates can rotate back to help you.
How are you supposed to have a 3:1 for the firestaff/ice gauntlet when you only earn 190 attribute points through leveling
you start to get more attribute points when you reach lv 40

I found hammer/greataxe with medium is like inanse for pve dps. Justice for all is OP.
Yeah it is good for pve
Is this meant to use for pvp ?
For Great Axe/Hatchet, why not 100 STR and 300 CON? Obviously a bit less damage, but much tankier no?
It would, but there's diminishing returns and you need to weigh up which stat milestones fit your build. The later constitution ones are more tank orientated and the strength are dps.
@@tristanloveday5240 but for pvp with the damage output of some builds, ice gauntlet for example why wouldn't you want to be more tankier and outlast them?
@@LurkinPT i guess that's totally dependent on what content you're doing. If you're just doing wars and you need survivability on the point, it would be find but it keyholes you into specific content because now you've dumped 60% of your available stats into HP instead of DPS for PVE content. I think if you're being overly role specific, dps shouldn't have 60% of their stats rolled into HP.
Using bow and rapier is good too
True, but I can't put all builds in a top 3 list video
still pooping on kids in my light armor. The free crits after dodge rolling, being able to dodge roll 3 times. the damage buff rn isnt 20% but it still isnt 0. i think light armor is still viable.
Three dodges? How? I run medium specifically for the three hops
What do you mean you do a lot less damage with more than 250 str? Hadnt heard about this bug
Yeah there is a bug if you go more then 249 the damage scales off completely
@@KaidGames2 Just like there is also a bug where light armor isn't getting the full 20% bonus damage/healing, hope they fix it soon....
@@Vicieus1 Yeah, true
I don't even bother with the two Charge passives for war. It triggers when you hit an ally too, so the damage increase is negligible when you get stuck in; it's mostly used as a gap closer and escape skill. Better to take more generalized passives to be more deadly with heavy attacks.
I wouldn't take "first strike" talen from pilar of fire tree, It only works if the target is at full health, witch is normally not the case. It's way better to take the full tree of fire ball so you can reduce the cd of pilar of fire and keep spaming it.
So you dont want to go light for the roll on gauntlet/staff build anymore?🙂
There is even a dmg/healing bonus of 20% for light builds but these morons would rather have a wet noodle fight.
@@StyxByrd Actually there was testing done and i forgot which streamer posted it but the 20% isn't working correctly you only see about 8% bonus damage so it's not worth it as far as min/maxing goes, thats why most top tier are going med or heavy. Though I love the game play with the roll so I still choose light....
You still get mana back for dodging in medium and heavy
I don´t know how to throw the hatchet. Maybe somebody can explain that to me :-)
This has to be beta? 300 attributes points now ?
question: why does ur damage take a dip if youre over 250 on axe build?
I heard its a bugg in the game atm that makes it, and since its such a strong build its based around they wont stress the fix. but im not sure if thats the correct reason
For ice gauntlet I like to use the gem that does more damage against CC'D players.
Yeah it is better for wars but not really open world pvp or pve
@@KaidGames2 most Gaxes players will Wkey you just to get near and hit yoi, that gem is priceless against them. If they get close enough? Start with wall followed by storm, then 1 heavy attack on them and It's GG, insta kill + more dmg for the CC
