• 1. Void Gauntlet Build
• 2. Fire Staff Build
• 3. Greatsword Build

 

↖ 1. Void Gauntlet Build

For this build, we'll be focusing on doing a lot of damage from a long distance. The weapons you want to use are the Musket and the Void Gauntlet. Here are the attributes you should have:

 

• Dexterity: 300
• Intelligence: 150 (aim to achieve this around level 60)

 

As this is a glass cannon build, you want to go with the Light armor category. The best gear setup is to have a Medium chest piece and the rest in Light armor. Now, let's look at the abilities and perks for each weapon:

 

Musket:

• Power Shot: Overloads your musket with gunpowder, dealing a lot of damage with the next shot.
• Powder Burn: Overload your musket with gunpowder, causing a burn effect on the target for 9 seconds.
• Shooter's Stance: Enters a shooting stance, increasing shot damage and reducing reloading time.

 

Void Gauntlet:

• Petrifying Scream: Deals damage, staggers, and roots enemies in front of you for a few seconds.
• Oblivion: Creates a circle that increases the damage for teammates and deals damage over time to enemies inside.
• Orb of Decay: Fires an orb through enemies, dealing damage and reducing their damage absorption. The orb returns and can heal nearby teammates and yourself.

 

Gameplay:

Stay far away from the enemy, mainly using musket shots and activating abilities when possible. If a bruiser player charges at you, use the Shooter's Stance ability to burst them down. Switch to the Void Gauntlet when needed for more damage or support. For gems, use Aquamarine for both weapons and Enix gems for all gear. To further increase damage, use honing stones and attribute food during special events.

 

Conclusion:

This Musket and Void Gauntlet combination is currently the highest single-target damage build in the game, making you a formidable sniper. Maximize your damage potential by getting the right perks and gems.

 

↖ 2. Fire Staff Build

This build focuses on using Fire Staff for ranged damage and Void Gauntlet for added utility and support. Here are the attributes:

 

• Intelligence: 150-200 (depending on your level)
• Dexterity: 50
• Constitution: 100

 

Go with Medium armor, using a heavy helmet, heavy chest piece, light pants, medium gloves, and boots. This setup will keep you just below the heavy-weight category, granting extra damage. Let's look at the abilities and perks for each weapon:

 

Fire Staff:

• Fireball: A powerful AOE spell that deals damage to enemies within its radius.
• Incinerate: Creates a fiery explosion around you, damaging and pushing back enemies.
• Burnout: A big dash spell that can deal extra burn damage to enemies hit while dashing.

 

Void Gauntlet:

• Void Blade: Activates a void dagger for melee attacks, reducing enemy damage absorption.
• Oblivion: Creates a circle that increases damage for allies and deals damage over time to enemies inside.
• Petrifying Scream: Deals damage, staggers, and roots enemies in front of you for a few seconds.

 

Gameplay:

Use Fire Staff for distance fighting and Void Gauntlet for more damage or support. Utilize Fireball for AOE damage, Incinerate when under attack, and Burnout for mobility. For Void Gauntlet, use Oblivion to boost damage or support teammates, Petrifying Scream for control, and Void Blade for close-range damage and reducing enemy damage.

 

Conclusion:

The Fire Staff and Void Gauntlet combination offer high damage potential and versatility, making it suitable for both PVP and PVE content.

 

↖ 3. Greatsword Build

This build provides a fun and high DPS experience. The attributes are as follows:

 

• Strength: 200
• Dexterity: 150
• Constitution: 100

 

Use Medium armor with a circle-shaped small Shield to stay in the medium category. Now, let's look at the abilities and perks for each weapon:

 

Great Sword:

• Cross Cut: Performs three quick slash attacks, each dealing more damage.
• Skyward Slash: Swings the sword upward, staggering enemies and applying debuffs.
• Steadfast Strike: Stabs enemies, dealing increasing damage and restoring Mana upon finishing the animation.

 

Sword with Shield:

• Leaping Strike: Leaves forward, dealing damage and staggering the enemy.
• Shield Rush: Quickly moves forward, dealing damage and pushing back the enemy.
• Shield Bash: Stuns the enemy for 2 seconds.

 

Gameplay:

Start with the Sword and Shield, using Leaping Strike to close the distance and then follow up with Shield Rush. When the enemy's stagger ends, use Shield Bash for the longest stun in the game. Switch to the Great Sword and use Cross Cut and heavy attacks for damage, followed by Skyward Slash for debuffs and Steadfast Strike for additional damage and Mana restoration.

 

Conclusion:

The Great Sword and Sword with Shield combination offers high damage potential, especially in Medium armor, providing a balanced mix of offense and defense.

 

Final Thoughts:

These three builds provide different playstyles and damage outputs. Choose the one that suits your preferences and have fun dominating PVP and PVE content. Remember to optimize your gear with the right perks and gems to maximize your damage potential.
